hi jim, this is great news! us mac folks are behind the curve at the moment. as a user, i have been using this build: https://github.com/valerioa/Inkscape-MacOS-Curated-Build/releases .
this is a build that seems to have quartz built in.
<continued>
It's the best Mac build. The goal is that we need a replacement Mac build which uses Gtk3. The code changes that valerioa made to Gtk to get their build to work, especially for menu bars and clipboards are important to translate to Gtk3.

martin, thanks for your correction regarding quartz. now that you have established that this is the best mac build and gtk3 needs to be implemented, can gtk3 be implemented without the use of quartz? if it can't, and this is the best mac build, then it stands to reason, that if valerio can't mash up his version with gtk3 without quartz, then i'm left at 0.9.92 with the only way to upgrade to the current version is if the macports upgrade is working without quartz and there is no current version without quartz built to a dmg.
ouch! unless (jim) can connect with valerio and . . . . .
best, dwain
