Help with Testing GTK3 Bug-Fix Update

Folks, a new Devel port for GTK3 was created two weeks ago, with the goal of testing upstream releases. Along with that, all GTK3 dependents were updated to use a path-style dependency for GTK3, allowing the new port (gtk3-devel) to be a drop-in replacement.
In any case, gtk3-devel uses a later upstream release - 3.24.30 - encompassing a number of bug fixes. And we’d ultimately like to update the non-Devel GTK3 port to coincide that that, but it’s critical that we regression-test first.
So for you maintainers of GTK3-dependent ports - or enthusiastic users - can you install `gtk3-devel` in place of `gtk3`, and test your various apps?
And while everything should ideally “just work,” I can’t say for sure until we vet this out a bit. And please let me know if everything works fine, or if you encounter any issues!
Cheers and Thanks,
-Chris
