Development Branch
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the unstable development branch of GIMP. Here we are working
|
|
towards the next stable release, which will be GIMP 2.10.
|
|
|
|
Generally, all bug fixes that are applied on the stable GIMP 2.8
|
|
branch are also applied here, but they are usually not mentioned
|
|
in NEWS.

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.0 to GIMP 2.9.2
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core:
|
|
|
|
The core got completely ported to GEGL, listing all changes involved
|
|
would be too much, therefore we summarize the changes in app/ per
|
|
source subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
base
|
|
composite
|
|
paint-funcs:
|
|
- Remove these directories, they contained the old pixel
|
|
manipulation functions
|
|
|
|
config:
|
|
- Remove GimpBaseConfig, add GimpGeglConfig
|
|
- Add config options for new features
|
|
|
|
core:
|
|
- Add some things that used to live in base/, like the temp-buf,
|
|
boundary and histogram code
|
|
- Port all functions to GEGL and higher bit depths
|
|
- Keep the image around as GEGL graph, all other compositing is gone
|
|
- Add non-destructive drawable filters, but use them only for previews
|
|
- Implement the floating selection as drawable filter
|
|
- Implement GimpImageMap using drawable filters
|
|
- Move batch processing to gimp-batch.[ch]
|
|
- Run batch commands in an already running GIMP instance
|
|

|
|
- Be smarter about migrating old user config files
|
|
- Move many object struct members to private structs
|
|
|
|
file:
|
|
- Support GIO-ported file load/save procs, handle remote files generically
|
|
|
|
- Add content locking to items to prevent them from being edited
|
|
- Add position locking to items to prevent them from being translated
|
|
- Implement all color management in the core
|
|
- Add an automatic palette of recently used colors
|
|
- Implement metadata handling in the core
|
|
|
|
gegl:
|
|
- Now contains utility functions and abstractions to work with
|
|
GEGL more easily
|
|
- Move all operations to the new operations/ directory
|
|
|
|
operations:
|
|
- New directory containing all GIMP-internal GEGL operations
|
|
and their config objects (if any)
|
|
- Add a correct version of the overlay layer mode
|
|
- Add LCH layer modes
|
|
|

|
|
- Port all paint cores to Gegl
|
|
- Add MyPaint brush paint core
|
|
|
|
pdb:
|
|
- Add compat procedures that work like the removed plug-ins
|
|
- Use the new GimpValueArray, GValueArray got deprecated
|
|
|
|
plug-in:
|
|
- Allow plug-ins to access image data at full bit depth
|
|
- Add a compat mode so unported plug-ins always get 8-bit data
|
|
|
|
text:
|
|
- Port text rendering to GEGL
|
|
- Use HarfBuzz to inspect fonts for creating an example string
|
|
|
|
xcf:
|
|
- Add zlib compression to XCF loading/saving
|
|
|
|
|
|
GUI:
|
|
|
|
- Add GUI to handle the new high bit depths and conversion between them
|
|
- Add new action group "filters" which can run arbitrary GEGL ops
|
|
- Add lots of actions invoking GEGL ops that replace removed plug-ins
|
|
- Preview all GEGL ops live on the canvas, using drawable filters
|
|
- Mostly switch from using stock-ids to icon-names
|
|
- Turn all stock icons into named icons and add an icon theme
|
|
- Allow selecting colors from an image's colormap

|
|
- Split GimpPickButton into per-platform backends and fix it on OS X
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plug-ins:

|
- Remove lots of plug-ins that are now implemented as GEGL ops
|
|

|
|
- Remove the metadata plug-ins, this is now done in the core/libgimp
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Source and build system:
|
|
|
|
- Don't use INCLUDES in Makefile.am, use AM_CPPFLAGS instead
|
|
|
