@ -47,6 +57,18 @@ Build:
* babl 0.1.108
- Started a skeleton for unit testing framework for libgimp (only a few tests
so far but we eventually target exhaustivity).
- Main CI jobs are now compiled with Clang, as well as Windows installer and
Nightly Flatpak builds. Some benchmarks run by Øyvind show we can gain a bit
of performance in some situations in babl/GEGL/ctx codepaths, thanks to
better auto-vectorization support.
- New gimp-data repository used as a git submodule:
* Various data were moved to gimp-data: icons, cursors, patterns, brushes
and application icon/logo.
* Various files are generated from the source logo: wilber.ico (for Windows
installer), gimp.icns (macOS), desktop application icons for Unix-like
systems, Wilber icons of the "Default" icon theme within the application.
* Splash image and Windows installer's BMP images are generated from the
splash image contributed as XCF.
