-Since the API soname had to bumped to 3 to avoid conflicts with GTK3 symbols, it's an appropriate opportunity to remove deprecated Widgets from the Thunar Extension Framework (thunarx), specifically [[https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAction.html|GtkAction]].+Since the API soname had to bumped to avoid conflicts with GTK3 symbols, it's an appropriate opportunity to remove deprecated Widgets from the Thunar Extension Framework (thunarx), specifically [[https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAction.html|GtkAction]].
  
-Considering the effort it would that take replace all GtkAction/GtkUiManager related code with [[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction|GAction]]/GtkBuilder/[[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu|GMenu]], and realising this is [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK+/Menus#Comments|not a straightforward task]], we decided to keep these deprecated internally and deal with them by the time of the gtk4 port. Based on [[https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/tree/master/libnemo-extension|Nemo's approach]], the **ThunarxMenuItem** class was designed as drop-in replacement for GtkAction yielded by providers, hence updating plugins should be an easy task.+Considering the effort it would that take replace all GtkAction/GtkUiManager related code with [[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction|GAction]]/GtkBuilder/[[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu|GMenu]], and realising this is [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/Menus#Comments|not a straightforward task]], we decided to keep these deprecated widget internally and deal with them by the time of the GTK4 port.
