Yad  [Solved]

#1 Post by Melber »

Hello, not really a package request as such, just a question.

MX 19 and MX21 use yad 0.40.0, which seems to be the last version available on sourceforge dating from 2017
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yad-dialog/files/
It looks like further development of yad has happened on github, v.0.41.0 from 2019 up to the current v.10.1 from May 2021
https://github.com/v1cont/yad

Is there a reason MX has stayed with v.0.40.0?

Okay, with a bit more precise use of the advanced search I found this thread viewtopic.php?p=623521&hilit=yad#p623521

Debian stable has never gone past using 0.40.0 and apparently MX tools don't display properly using the newer version 7.3 in MX test repo

Hi,

I believe the MX Tools currently all use QT5 not Yad, perhaps they used to use Yad and GTKDialog..
