2026 06 21 0.8.2

• Make variable $!application-window readable.

• make a 2nd method .set-window-content() in **GnomeTools::Gtk::Application.

  multi method set-window-content (
    $widget-helper-object, Str $widget-helper-method,
    $menu-helper-object, Str $menu-helper-method,
    *%options
  )

  This method makes shure that the application-window exists before content and menu is asked for.

• Let GnomeTools::Gtk::Application handle .add-action() and .set-accels-for-action() methods.

• The .item() method in GnomeTools::Gio::Menu returns the action name for other purposes. E.g. using it to define a toolbar button coupled to the same action.

2026 06 09 0.8.1

• Can do asynchronous dropping now. Objects can be dragged from a firefox browser, all gnome applications like files (originally called nautilus) but not from any QT based applications like konqueror or dolphin. There are different opinions how to send the data. This is seen on a linux Fedora system version 43 and a KDE desktop with x11 support. Wayland (not only x11) is said to improve on the problems about this issue. There will be no effort in improving on x11.

2026 06 08 0.8.0

• Add module GnomeTools::Gtk::DND to setup drag and drop. There are still a few items to add but tests are promising.

2026 02 27 0.6.4

2026 01 13 0.5.2

• Introduced role GnomeTools::Gtk::R-ListModel to move many methods from ListView. This makes it easier to make future classes like GridView and ColumnView. Also the eventconnection must not take place in BUILD() but later, called via an extra method .set-events().

• GnomeTools::Gtk::DropDown changed to use the routines from R-ListModel and to use the .set-events() method.
