  • GTK 4.22 will natively support SVG, including animations.
  • Previously, GTK relied on the external librsvg library, which had limitations.
  • Red Hat engineer Matthias Clasen has been developing GTK's own SVG capabilities.
  • The native SVG support in GTK 4.22 will cover most icons and animations.
  • The implementation is a subset of the full SVG specification but sufficient for common use cases.
  • More details about GTK 4.22's SVG support are available on the GTK blog.
