Has it really been 15 months since I last posted an article? Um, yes. Yes, it has.

I hope I haven't completely lost my good will here in the D-lang community. I'm feeling better now, the medication seems to be working, and I've got a new article... well, it was already in the works last year when I stopped posting, but I've edited the heck out of it and hopefully it's up to my usual standards.

At the top of the article, I ask whether or not anyone is still interested in reading articles about GtkD 3.9 (Mike Wey released GtkD 4 a couple of weeks ago) and I explain why I'm not all that keen on making the transition. Please let me know in comments (Yes, GtkD Coding now has comments) if you think it's still worth writing articles centred around 3.9.

Thanks.

Here's the link: https://gtkdcoding.com/2021/09/03/0112-gtk-gio-application-barebones.html

I just recently visited your blog, and was wandering whether it's over now... I also visited gtkd website, and was wandering whether it's over now (the website still shows a wrapper for GTK 3.24).

Happy to see you are back and well. I wonder where did you learn about a new gtkD release? Anyway, on the long run, I guess covering GTK 4 will be very welcome.

And now it does again.

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys. It's good to be back.

I found something about it yesterday, but can't find it now. Very odd. If/when I do come across it again, I'll reply to this thread again.

Just to be clear, I was planning to just continue with coverage of GtkD 3. Please let me know if you're for that.

It's good to know I'm not the only one! :)

Thanks, Ferhat.

I wonder where did you learn about a new gtkD release? Anyway, on the long run, I guess covering GTK 4 will be very welcome. The GTK 4 version still needs work and isn't released yet. I currently don't have the time to work on it, but i hope i am able to resume working on it later this year. -- Mike Wey

Thanks for the update, Mike. I still haven't found the link that led me to believe it was already out. Sorry, all, to be misleading.
