| Summary | 0011788: GTK 2 is unmaintained and deprecated, but Dwarf Fortress is still using it | ||||
| Description | GTK 2 is no longer maintained. No new bugfix releases are made and its use is generally discouraged. Dwarf Fortress is still using GTK 2 on Linux (or at it links to it). This isn't a problem for the moment, but it might become a problem in the future. Linux Distributions such as Debian are making early preparations to remove GTK2: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=947713. So while it is not urgent, I am opening this issue to give a heads up, that there will be a time when GTK2 will not be available on the majority of machines and Dwarf Fortress will probably have to switch to a newer version sooner or later. | ||||
