## Project Updates

### Post-GTK4's Release

Since the writing of the below mentioned In Full Sail article, GTK4 has been released and members of the Solus Team as well as the Solus community have been actively exploring both EFL and GTK4 for Budgie 11, as we continue to maintain, improve, and re-architect Budgie Desktop 10 series. Due to numerous issues with GTK4, alongside concerns about GTK5 and GNOME's fragmentation related to theming and enabling broad, consistent, application user experiences, **Solus will be formally adopting EFL for Budgie 11**. You can read about all of this [here](https://joshuastrobl.com/2021/09/14/building-an-alternative-ecosystem/).

Budgie 10 series will continue to be supported and iterated on until the release of Budgie 11, with considerable work being put into re-architecting and modernizing existing code to facilitate more seamless porting or code conversion (e.g. Vala to C).

### Move to GTK4

In our [In Full Sail](https://getsol.us/2018/10/27/in-full-sail/) blog post, we announced that Budgie 11 would be written in C and GTK4. The plan at the time of its writing was to further support Vala for Budgie plugins. This original plan does not reflect current plans, which is EFL+C. For more info, see the Post-GTK4 release post.

In addition to this, this repository will **not** be used for Budgie 11 or beyond, as various changes in leadership (departure of project founder) without a complete transition has resulted in this repository (and its org) not being under the complete ownership of the Solus Core Team. Future development will happen across both the Solus [Development Tracker](https://dev.getsol.us) as well as our [GetSolus](https://github.com/getsolus) organization.

### Re-merge into the Solus Project

On May 20th 2018, the Budgie Desktop project merged back into the Solus Project umbrella, making it a distinct Solus project once more.
Contributions from all distributions, projects and individuals are welcome provided they add value and are of sufficient quality. We're happy to discuss
test pull requests, which should be appropriately labeled as being `Request For Comment` `[RFC]`.

Please note that we will **not** accept pull requests to add Pythonic applets. Any applets should be written in either C or Vala. Pull requests modifying any C source code should ensure to stick with code compliance. Run `./update_format.sh` to ensure coding standards are respected. (Requires `clang-format` and `misspell`)

This decision has been made after a long time having Budgie Desktop being a separate project, which to this date has only repeatedly harmed the Budgie Desktop project due to other projects specifically looking to add **vendor specific value-add** and ensuring it is never upstream within this project. As such the project is now officially back under the stewardship of Solus (original authors) and will be developed with our goals in mind, as it once was. It should also be observed that Budgie had been an incredibly quiet project for almost the entire duration of the project being split out from Solus, something which we wished to remedy.
