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
- Add support for layer groups
- Improve internals and GUI of the save/export functionality
- Move the shortcut dialog's "clear" button into the entry
- Clean up UI code by introducing GimpDockWindow and GimpImageWindow
classes
- Support multi-column dock windows
- Get rid of docking bars, use highlights in existing widget hierarchy instead
- Remove toolbox-window-hint gimprc setting and use dock-window-hint
for both toolbox and docks instead
- Move GimpDock::default-height style property to GimpDockWindow
- Polish save+export path-part precedence rules
- Merge the GSoC 2009 Advanced GUI for Brush Dynamics project
- Default to non-fixed-aspect in Canvas Size dialog
- Add a still incomplete and Single-window mode
- Have an Export button, not Save, in export dialogs
- Improve Free Select Tool handle highlightning
- Support changing user interface language from preferences
- Update ps-menurc with PS CS4 keyboard shortcuts
- Reduce spacing around canvas and use it for the canvas itself
- Put name of active dockables in dock window titles
- Don't have Toolbox in list of Recently Closed Docks, handle that
directly in the Windows menu
- Support selecting and tagging multiple objects in resource lists
- Improve on-canvas text editing and text attribute setting
- Add GimpContainerTreeStore and use it in all GtkTreeStore based views
- Add a new default "automatic" tab style that makes sure dockable tabs
always show as much detail as possible
- Remove the dockable title bar and add the menu arrow button next to the
notebook tabs
- Add an icon for the desaturate tool
- Add 'Rule of fifths' crop guide overlay
- Make Alt+Click on layers not affecting active layer
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
- Fix brush rotation artifacts at even 90 degree rotation
- Don't leak shared tile memory on Solaris
- Add a PDB procedure to access a text layer's markup
- Remove legacy cruft from pdbgen and make sure number ranges are correct
- Move all image creation functions to a common file
- Add translation context to all undo descriptions
GEGL:
- Make sure all nodes are added to their resp. graphs
- Use GEGL for layer scaling if use-gegl is TRUE
Plug-ins:
- Updated script-fu's scheme to latest upstream fixes
- Don't store image-specific print settings globally
- Add fundamental OpenRaster (.ora) import and export support
- Add RGB565 support to the csource plug-in
Data:
- Add texture/grunge brushes made by Johannes Engelhardt
Developer documentation:
- Explain GimpContext
- Add SVG graphic with GIMP application core module dependencies
- Add a schedule for 2.8 development
Source and build system:
- Add more code documentation
- Clean up subsystem linking dependencies in app/
- Add unit testing framework in app/tests/ and some basic tests,
including basic UI tests and XCF tests
- Tentatively introduce usage of using Glade + GtkBuilder
- Depend on GLib 2.24.0 and GTK+ 2.20.0
- Add git commit hash in --verbose --version output
- Don't version control gtk-doc.m4, get it from gtkdocize
- Add GimpObject tracking code
- Plug memory leaks
- Lots of bug fixes and cleanup
- Lots of translation updates
