We strive to support latest Debian stable and latest Ubuntu LTS. However, we had to break that promise since the GTK4 port, which requires gtkmm4 >= 4.14:

Ubuntu users therefore have the following options:
The build requires glibmm >= 2.78.1 and gtkmm4 >= 4.14. The build system will supply its own gtkmm4 if out-of-date. Therefore the build only currently works out of the box on Ubuntu 24.04.
 
* Wait for Ubuntu 24.04, expected around 25 April 2024.
* Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 now.
* Upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 and build gtkmm4 from source, as is currently done by CI.
* ???

Some things that will be interesting to use once C++20 is common:

Feature Since Can use? GCC Apple Clang Comment
std::span C++20 from 1.4 10 11.0.3 Handle buffers like standard library containers without risk of overflow.
std::format C++20 not yet 13 15.3 Better and more efficient formatting of strings. Text Formatting
std::lerp C++20 from 1.4 9 11.0.3 Linear interpolation. (ui/tools/pencil-tool.cpp)
std::bit_floor C++20 from 1.4 9/10 11.0.3/13.0.0 Compute floor(log2(x)). (helper/mathfns.h)
Concepts C++20 from 1.4? 6/10 12.0.0 Partial Safer templating. (ui/controller.h)
Coroutines C++20 not yet 10 10.0.1 Partial,
15.3 Full
Simpler asynchronous code. (trace/trace.cpp)
std::make_unique_for_overwrite C++20 not yet 11 15.0.0 Don't zero arrays allocated using std::make_unique. (util/pool.cpp)
Ranges C++20 not yet ? (ui/dialog/swatches.cpp)
Structural templates C++20 from 1.4? Partial Allow instances of arbitrary literal classes as template parameters. (display/drawing.cpp)
Mathematical Constants C++20 10 12.0.5 Constants like std::numbers::pi.
Heterogenous lookup in std::unordered_map C++20 not yet Faster lookup, use of smart pointers as keys.
consteval static member functions C++20 not yet Guaranteed compile time evaluation of member functions (stronger than constexpr)
