After nine years, the GTK+ project recently released the new 3.0 major version, in time for GNOME 3.0; this new major version brought an API break to clean the cruft from the platform, as well as include new and exciting features, like CSS support for styling widgets and support for touch-based input devices.

While work is under way to stabilise the toolkit, there is also an effort to review the foundations upon which the toolkit itself is built: a new, canvas-like approach to UI building; GL-based rendering; an animation framework (to be exposed through CSS3 transitions and animations); multi-touch gesture support.

In the meantime, Clutter prepares itself to bump its major version to 2.0, bringing to the table a better, leaner, API that tackles the lessons learned in the last 6 years, as well as what other platforms like CoreAnimation, Qt, and HTML provide.

On paper, GTK+ 4.0 and Clutter 2.0 seem like an inevitability.

In this talk I will try to answer the questions of where we are; what we want to achieve; and how do we get there — as well as how you can help out, whether you are interested in application developement or toolkit development.
