rebuild bitmap object on Windows

What is rebuilt and how? internal structure of bitmap obj was changed?

add support for Gtk3

What if I compile gtk3 app before: component cannot paint on bitmaps?

I wish answers are written in the changelog, I usually do this for my text editor.

The TBitmap object is recreated when the function RebuildBitmap is callled (the handle remains unchanged though). I'll ask maxm74 to provide info on this change.

There is an LCL fallback that handles rendering when there is no specific support, but it is less optimized and may not work.

I am not sure I understand. The forum is a space for asking and answering and your input is valuable to improve on the documentation. I'll modify the changelog accordingly.

Thank you @circular for this wonderful component !

it is recreated because if you read an image from the file the internal data is changed but the Windows Bitmap does not change. So if you later use the Bitmap:TBitmap property to add it to an imagelist (for example) you will have the old bitmap. Only the handle is changed.
