To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
Now that every call to GtkCellArea is a snapshot call and no more cairo
calls are left, move the actual differentiation between Cairo and
Snapshot down to the cell renderer.
This patch changes all uses of GDK_DEPRECATED(_FOR) in gtk headers
by the versioned variants, GDK_DEPRECATED_IN_3_x(_FOR). At the same
time, we add GDK_AVAILABLE_IN_3_x annotations for all API additions
in 3.2 and 3.4.
This is because focus in treeviews can be given to cells that cannot do anything
with activation (for better keynav), so we dissociate the concept of cell
activation and focusing.
Since a cell renderer might use more space than the natural
size when recieving expand space it's impossible to know how
much space is actually used to render content.
Adding this virtual method to allow text renderers to implement
it, the base default method uses height-for-width apis and aligns
the cell assuming the renderer uses a fixed size.
This commit removes the similar code from gtkcellarea and
subclasses.
This is just a private convenience function, and exporting _-prefixed
functions doesn't work with our libtool setup. Just do the 3 line
calculation in gail.
This mostly goes to keep consistency with the changes to GtkSizeRequest
in the last patch, as GtkCellSizeRequest requires GtkCellRenderer and
GtkCellRenderer implements GtkCellSizeRequest there's no use in keeping
them separate.
This patch renames the functions:
gtk_cell_size_request_get_request_mode()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_request_mode()
gtk_cell_size_request_get_width()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_width()
gtk_cell_size_request_get_height()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_height()
gtk_cell_size_request_get_size()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_size()
gtk_cell_size_request_get_width_for_height()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_width_for_height()
gtk_cell_size_request_get_height_for_width()
=> gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_height_for_width()
... and moves the corresponding vfuncs to GtkCellRenderer.
The patch also renames the implementations of these functions in cell
renderers to include the word "preferrred".
This patch adds height-for-width geometry management
for cell renderers while still responding to the old
gtk_cell_renderer_get_size() apis with virtual return values
(obtained by soliciting the new height-for-width cell renderer
apis).

includes too).
