With GNOME (and adjacent) packages, sometimes they use odd minor versions to separate development releases from stable ones. 4.19 was gtk-4.20's development cycle, so there's a few releases that we should add in notes from:

4.19.2
Overview of Changes in 4.19.2, 27-06-2025
=========================================
Note: This release makes GTK rely on the Wayland text protocol
for input method support. For compositors without that protocol,
you can manually set GTK_IM_MODULE=simple to get back support for
X11-style compose sequences and dead keys.
* GtkImage:
- Change the sizing behavior for paintables. Stop scaling them up
* Add g_uri_launcher_can_launch to check if a given uri has a handler
* GtkTextView:
- Don't use keyboard layout for text direction
* GtkIconTheme:
- Allow strokes in symbolic icons
- Document the symbolic icon format
- Add a small parser for symbolic svg files
- Convert symbolic svgs to render nodes and rasterize them later
- Require librsvg and always support svg
- Make it possible to create GtkIconPaintable objects in ui files
- Fix search path order to prefer ~/.local/share over /usr/share
* GtkVideo:
- Port the gstreamer backend to use GskPlay
* Resources:
- Clean up and simplify all symbolic icons and theme assets,
so they can be handled by the built-in svg parser
- Stop including png versions of symbolic icons and theme assets
* CSS:
- Plug a memory leak in the css variables code
- Support transition hints for gradients
- Support two-position stops for gradients
- Pass toplevel edge constraints to css
- Support multiple keyframe selectors per block
- Reimplement text shadows to match what browsers do
* GL:
- Support multiplane texture formats
* GSK:
- Fix some bugs in the path parser
- Cache masks for fill and stroke nodes
- Fix some corner cases of path semantics to match svg
* Deprecations:
- Deprecate the remaining pixbuf APIs
* Tools:
- Add some interactive controls to gtk4-path-tool
- Add a command to convert symbolic svgs to nodes
- The inspector UI has been improved in some places
* Demos:
- Fix lighting in the gears GL demo
- Use paintables for some icons, so we no longer rely on an
icon theme to provide them
- Stop hardcoding Cantarell as font in various places
- Use paintables instead of themed icons in many places
* Build:
- Include modules in libgtk
- Build with libcups 3
- Use meson 1.8.2
- Require librsvg
- Fix the build without memfd_create
* Wayland:
- Stop handling compose sequences client-side, since
the compositor does it
- Plug a memory leak in the offloading code
- Fix scaling of callback cursors
- Update tablet cursors properly
* MacOS:
- Support window snapping
- Better window menu support
- Don't build the x11 backend on macos, by default
* Windows:
- Fix resizing problems with the cairo renderer
- Add API for D3D12 textures
- Refactor and modernize the WGL support
- Fix many msvc warnings
- Scale callback cursors
- Use D3D11 or D3D12 and DirectComposition. This
can be disabled using new GDK_DISABLE values:
GDK_DISABLE=d3d11,d3d12,dcomp
* Android:
- Simplify surface layout
* Bugs fixed:
- #6519 AtSpiSocket not in gir
- #7136 color: transparent; doesn't make emojis transparent (Matthias Clasen)
- #7137 text-shadow doesn't work with transparent text (Matthias Clasen)

the clipboard but removed leading to `g-io-quark-error` when reading the
