This PR adds a new GTK4 Porting Guide at
src/gtk4-porting-guide.md.The guide documents the GTK4 migration issues I encountered while porting the Fructose activities during GSoC 2026. It is meant to be a practical reference for developers working on the remaining GTK4 ports, rather than a project retrospective.
The guide is based on the existing
gtk3-porting-guide.mdand covers the GTK3 → GTK4 changes that came up most often during the ports.Included in the guide
pack_start/pack_end→append/prepend.set_draw_func()anddo_snapshot().Gdk.cairo_set_source_pixbuf.I have included code examples for the parts that were less straightforward during the migration, so developers can use the guide while working through an activity rather than having to figure out each change from scratch.
The PR also updates
README.mdto link to the new guide.
