------------------------------ GNU Image Manipulation Program Development Branch ------------------------------ This is the development branch of GIMP. Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.2 to GIMP 3.0.4 ================================================= Core: - Make maximum radius for generated brushes consistent across codebase. - Use NDE filter name for undo history. - Module loading improved to be better cross-platform (in particular on macOS both .so and .dylib modules are supported). - Code compliant with GCC 15 (C23). - Filter size updated when its drawable is rotated. - Font loading (at startup) optimized. - Set the proper program name for KDE/Wayland to map the process to the correct desktop file. - "windows-display-*" are hidden from the Shortcuts dialog (they are not meant to be remapped). - Editing non-destructive effects now triggers undo steps. - When migrating from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3, shortcuts for actions "edit-paste-as-new-layer*" are now converted to "edit-paste-merged*" (and not "edit-paste*" anymore which was confusing and counter-productive). Graphical User Interface: - Highlight selected device in GimpDeviceStatus. - Various theme leak fixes. - UX improvement: GimpViewableDialog (e.g. Fill/Stroke path and more) now has "OK" as default response. - Icon size settings now also applying to Move and Transform icon boxes. - Commit hash is now shown in About dialog in all non-release builds (i.e. even in stable series, when we are in-between releases). - Hide Force slider for Pencil Tool (rather than just making it insensitive). - Define merged titlebar icon colors. - Keep menubar color consistent when out of focus. - We don't show Fx icon for tool-based filters. - Updated splash without micro version in it. - Removed size restrictions on Display Filters. - Don't show hidden tools on toolbox tooltips. - Fix "Keep above" Window Manager hint. - Multi-Window mode on Windows: dock windows' title bars now adapt to the Windows system theme colors too. - Show palette name in Palette Color Selector. Tools: - MyPaint Brush: have consistent options layout compared to other paint tools. - Scissors Select Tool: close the curve on Enter, similar to the Path tool. - Path Tool: connect path on click in design mode. Plug-ins: - Restore GUI to Difference Clouds script. This had been lost since GIMP 2.8! - Fixes in various file format support, such as: DDS, SVG, TIFF, PSD, BMP, ICO… - Screenshot dropdowns replaced by radio buttons, as part of a new UX decision that choice settings with 2 or 3 choices should be dropdown (faster 1-click access), unless there are a lot more settings making the dialog too crowded already. PDB: - Make "gimp-plug-ins-query" public again (yet still not available in libgimp). Build: - Windows Installer: * Make the installer aware of Install, Reinstall and Update modes. * Add Repair mode to Windows installer: in particular we can now fix installations when the previous install directory cannot be accessed anymore. * The feature to delete the config folder on Windows uninstall will now make a backup on the Desktop first (allowing people to delete it themselves, move it, or even restore it later if needed). * Uninstalling while GIMP is running is made impossible (among other issues, it was causing partial uninstallation). * Downgrading is only possible by uninstalling first. * Development warning is shown in dev build of stable series too. * Add fractional scaling support to Installer welcome image. * Restore points now have a timeout to prevent stuckness. - Our AppImage won't ship debug symbols anymore. Better debugging can be set with: export DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net" - Windows builds: * Ship babl/GEGL and libgimp headers, static libs and pkg-config files for plug-in developers. * Dedicated file icon for XCF files. * Generate native .pdb CodeView symbols on Windows (smaller debug data files, usable by MSIX and better debugging ability), except on x86 (32-bit). - Crossbuilds are dropped from CI. - Shell scripts used in the meson build are ported to Python (more portable and much faster on some platforms, in particular Windows). - Some build scripts were moved around for reorganization. - Depency requirement bumped: * babl 0.1.114 * GEGL 0.4.62 - New "Inputs" feature for simpler Gitlab pipelines running. - Some in-repository documentation was cleaned up. Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.0 to GIMP 3.0.2 ================================================= This is a bug-fix only release. Core: - Mark some strings translatable. - Fix crash when choosing a brush in grid view. - Windows: temporary revert of some Input Device handling code which was breaking pressure sensitivity for some graphics tablets (though this revert may make issues with the eraser tip). - Fix crash when choosing a non-existing font in text tool options. Tools: - Reorder Line Art Detection options per design decision. Graphical User Interface: - Keep headerbar color consistent when out of focus. - Histogram uses the luminance value of the foreground color as a threshold to lighten or darken the border color for contrast with the histogram itself. - Improve separation between panels in dark theme. - Add default response for GimpQueryBox dialogues. - Spacing between toolbox widgets improved. - GimpSpinScale slider colors inverted. - New icons: "gimp-toggle-on" and "gimp-toggle-off" and using them in the Search Action's list as icons for toggle actions. Plug-ins: - Python Console uses the luminance of the background color for error text. - Metadata Editor: fix buffer overflow. - Gradient Flare: fix crash when setting the size to 0. - Screenshot: X11 implementation is bypassed (in favor of portals) when running on XWayland. Build: - Various packaging fixes and cleanup. - The Windows installer now prompts (only in user installation) about deleting GIMP config files when uninstalling. - GEGL 0.4.58 is now our minimum requirement. - Windows installer: create Restore Point on system-wide install.
