Which features in particular are being used?
Ellipsizing text/labels using Pango but it's already reverted.
I simply didn't know!
No problem. It actually brings up a good point about whether it's time to think about if we'd gain from upgrading our dependencies. I have a hunch that we could switch to 2.6 with minimal pain at this point. 2.8 would be more of a stretch, but if the 0.44 release is a few months out we may even have enough time for that...
Also, I hope no one feels badly about the post-branch merging breakage; I think this is simply to be expected in the cycle of development. In fact, sometimes temporary breakage is the quickest way to identify and fix problems. As I'd had some trouble building the CXX branch, I'm quite pleased to see this merged in. :-)
