Impact
------
1. There is a new release in the stable 1.3 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/blob/1.3.2/NEWS

2. This update also updates the Python 3 autopkgtest for compatibility with GTK 4.10.2

3.

Test Case 0
-----------
libadwaita includes a build test suite that will fail the build if the tests fail.

libadwaita also includes 2 superficial autopkgtests, one for C, one for Python 3.

Test Case 1
-----------
After installing the update, open gnome-control-center and nautilus.

Ensure that the apps run and that the on/off switches, checkboxes, and other visual elements still display correctly.

In gnome-control-center click Appearance in the sidebar.
Verify that switching the style between Light and Dark works correctly.
Also choose a different accent color and verify that elements like folder icons in Nautilus and on/off switches have correctly adopted the accent color you chose.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
libadwaita is an addon library to GTK4 to allow apps to easily use more of the GNOME style and allow for widgets to be added and improved faster than in the normal GTK development cycle.

libadwaita is included in all Ubuntu desktop flavors except for Kubuntu & Lubuntu.

Many of the default Ubuntu desktop apps in 23.04 use libadwaita.

As a component of GNOME core, there is a micro-release exception for libadwaita.
