------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
Development Branch
------------------------------
This is the unstable development branch of GIMP. Here we are working
towards the next stable release, which will be GIMP 2.8.
Changes in GIMP 2.7.1
=====================
UI:
- Add "lock content" button to the layers, channels and paths dialogs,
make the lock buttons more compact
- Refuse to edit locked items
- Show layer groups in the layers dialog and add a menu item to
create group layers
- Improve internals and GUI of the save/export functionality
- Move the shortcut dialog's "clear" button into the entry
Core:
- Make all GimpItems lockable so their contents can't be changed
- Make more sense when naming imported layers
- Make group layers work except for layer masks and save them in
the XCF
- Change GimpProjectable::update to GimpProjectable:invalidate
- Make sure we don't mix font backends (and crash) by explicitely
asking for FT/Fontconfig backends
- Move members of GimpObject to a private struct
- gimp_object_get_name() takes a gconstpointer now, remove casts
from all callers
- Let drawables connect to their floating selection's "update" signal
instead of letting the image do this job
GEGL:
- Make sure all nodes are added to their resp. graphs
Plug-ins:
- Updated script-fu's scheme to latest upstream fixes
- Don't store image-specific print settings globally
Data:
- Add texture/grunge brushes made by Johannes Engelhardt
General:
- Lots of bug fixes and cleanup
- Lots of translation updates
- Clean up subsystem linking dependencies in app/
- Add unit testing framework in app/tests/ and some basic tests
Changes in GIMP 2.7.0
=====================
UI:
- Change the Text Tool to perform text editing on-canvas (GSoC 2008)
- Add support for tagging GIMP resources such as brushes and allow
filtering based on these tags (GSoC 2008)
- Separate the activies of saving an image and exporting it, there is
now an 'File->Export...' for example
- Port file plug-ins to new export API which gets rid of many
annoying export dialogs
- Add a simple parser to size entry widgets, images can be scaled
to e.g. "50%" or "2 * 37px + 10in"
- Arrange layer modes into more logical and useful groups
- Added support for rotation of brushes
- Make the Pointer dockable show information about selection position
and size
- Get rid of the Tools dockable and move toolbox configuration to
Preferences
- Allow closing the toolbox without closing the whole application
- Add status bar feedback for keyboard changes to brush paramaters
- Add diagonal guides to the Crop Tool
- New docks are created at the pointer position
- Add support for printing crop marks for images
- Move 'Text along path' from tool options to text context menu
- Change default shortcuts for "Shrink Wrap" and "Fit in Window" to
Ctrl+R and Ctrl+Shift+R respectively since the previous shortcuts
are now used for the save+export feature
- Make Alt+Click on layers in Layers dockable create a selection from
the layer
- Allow to specify written language in the Text Tool
Plug-ins:
- Map the 'Linear Dodge' layer mode in PSD files to the 'Addition'
layer mode in GIMP
- Add JPEG2000 load plug-in
- Add X11 mouse cursor plug-in
- Add support for loading 16bit (RGB565) raw data
- Add palette exporter for CSS, PHP, Python, txt and Java, accessed
through palette context menu
- Add plug-in API for getting image URI, for manipulating size of
text layers, for getting and setting text layer hint, and for
unified export dialog appearance
Data:
- Add large variants of round brushes and remove duplicate and
useless brushes
- Add "FG to BG (Hardedge)" gradient
GEGL:
- Port the projection code, the code that composes a single image
from a stack of layers, to GEGL
- Port layer modes to GEGL
- Port the floating selection code to GEGL
- Refactor the layer stack code to prepare for layer groups later
- Prepare better and more intuitive handling of the floating
selection
- Add File->Debug->Show Image Graph that show the GEGL graph of an
image
- Allow to benchmark projection performance with
File->Debug->Benchmark Projection
- When using GEGL for the projection, use CIELCH instead of HSV/HSL
for color based layer modes
Core:
- Make painting strokes Catmull-Rom Spline interpolated
- Add support for arbitrary affine transforms of brushes
- Add support for brush dynamics to depend on tilt
- Add aspect ratio to brush dynamics
- Add infrastructure to soon support vector layers (GSoC 2006)
- Rearrange legacy layer mode code to increase maintainability
- Drop support for the obsolete GnomeVFS file-uri backend
- Allow to dump keyboard shortucts ith File->Debug->Dump Keyboard
Shortcuts
- Prepare data structures for layer groups
- Remove gimprc setting "menu-mnemonics",
"GtkSettings:gtk-enable-mnemonics" shall be used instead
- Remove "transient-docks" gimprc setting, the 'Utility window' hint
and a sane window manager does a better job
- Remove "web-browser" gimprc setting and use gtk_show_uri() instead
General:
- Changed licence to (L)GPLv3+
- Use the automake 1.11 feature 'silent build rules' by default
- Lots of bug fixes and cleanup
