Following last week's GNOME 49 release, This Week in GNOME is out with their latest weekly summary of all interesting GNOME developments. Notable now for this post-49.0 time is libadwaita adding an adaptive sidebar widget.

AdwSidebar has been added to libadwaita as an adaptive sidebar widget. There is also AdwViewSwitcherSidebar as a view switcher variant. These libadwaita additions are intended to be a replacement to GTK's GtkStackSidebar widget.
