Matthias Clasen has written a short update on a GTK hackfest thattook place at FOSDEM and what'scoming in GTK 4.18. This includes fixes for pointer sizes in Waylandwhen fractional scaling is enabled, removal of the old GL renderer infavor of the GLrenderer introduced in GTK4.13.6, and deprecation of X11 and Broadway backends with intentto remove them in GTK 5.

The deprecated backends will remain available until then, and noaction is required by developers at this time, Clasen wrote: "Thereis no need to act on deprecations until you are actively porting yourapp to the next major version of GTK, which is not on the horizonyet".
