Status of extended layout branch

[Maarten Bosmans <mkbosmans gmail com>]

Hi there,

On the roadmap [1] the extended layout work is listed as a possibility
to go in 2.20. I would really like for that to happen. Especially with
the natural size stuff, I would be able to throw out some custom
widget code I needed to add in an application of mine to get that
behaviour. It seems that there is a really strong use case for this
kind of layout.

Unfortunately the latest additions to both the bug [2] and the git
branch [3] are more that a year ago. I checked how the branch would
merge on Gtk+ master, but as could be expected, the merge was far from
clean and I don't think I'm qualified enough to resolve all the
conflicts.

So, as I saw that extended layout was mentioned in the minutes of the
latest team meeting, my question is: what is the current plan for the
extended layout work? And how can I be of any assistance as an
application developer?

Maarten
