GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.10 Stable Branch
------------------------------
This is the stable branch of GIMP. Unlike earlier stable branches,
we do allow some new features here, if they are not too invasive.
Otherwise, this branch is only for bug-fixes.
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.0 to GIMP 2.10.2
===================================================
Core:
- Discard fonts which fail to load and popup an info dialog to allow
people debug their fonts.
- New API to suppress updates in UI until plug-ins are done
introducing changes.
- New API to calculate histograms in separate threads, with possible further
extension to handle similar cases elsewhere in GIMP.
Plug-ins:
- New plug-in for importing and exporting HEIF images.
- Enable visibility of rasterized vector layer from PSD.
Filters:
- New Spherize filter to wrap an image around a spherical cap
- New Recursive Transform filter to create Droste effect.
Usability:
- Warn users, when alpha-only painting has no effect. E.g. when target
drawable doesn't have an alpha channel, or the alpha channel is locked.
- Make the splash texts dynamic, so they are larger on larger splashes.
- Mention pressing Enter to complete Foreground selection in the status bar.
- Make sure that clicking outside any selection prevents Rectangle Select
and Ellipse Select tools from creating empty selections.
Translations:
- Updated translations: Catalan, Dutch, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian,
Polish, Russian, Swedish, Ukrainian.
- New translation: Chinese (Taiwan)
Build:
- Add a --with-bug-report-url configure option allowing packagers to
set the address of their own bug tracker. This address will be the
one opened by the debug dialog for reporting bugs.
