Last release is more than 6 month ago and some of the issues listed here might not happen in the next month. How about focusing on a new release soon, at least for gtk3+glib?

[GuillaumeGomez]

Since we had big repository change, I'll need to update the release script to take that into account. I'll also need to check how to handle the referencing to crate of the same workspace and to add the gtk4 crates to the list of crates we want to handle in the release script. So until all that is done, it'll have to wait a bit.

However, there is hope: we talked recently about organizing a virtual hackfest to try to move forward on multiple topics. I expect things to be more advanced after.

We can tick gtk-rs/gir#974 & gtk-rs/gir#963 now.

In the release notes, I believe it would be valuable to include a note in the line of:

Note to applications developers

Applications developers should use fix-getters-calls to ease migration of their applications. Use fix-getters-def if you also want your get functions definition to comply with the API standards applied in this release.

@fengalin Done, thanks!
