Greetings, all.
A tarball of version 0.9.7 of Tiny-Fu is now available at:
http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/software/gimp/tiny-fu.html
It has been almost two and a half months since the last release of Tiny-Fu.
In that time a number of changes and a few important bug fixes have
accumulated. Apart from the number of changes since the previous release,
the other reason for this release is to provide a new checkpoint from which
to work since a major new feature is about to be added. More on this later.
Most of the changes in this release affected the various scripts which
accompany the Tiny-Fu plug-in. The main bug fixes in this release cleaned
up a number of memory leaks and fixed a small problem in the aset!
function. A summary of some of the other changes in this release can be
seen near the bottom of this message.
With the release of version 0.9.7, work begins on for the 0.9.8 release.
Current plans for the 0.9.8 release of Tiny-Fu is for it to be a release
candidate for a 1.0 release. Only two main changes are planned for 0.9.8
and after that, only bug fixes but no new features will be introduced prior
to a 1.0 release.
Only two main changes are planned for the 0.9.8 release. The first is to
get Tiny-Fu working with GIMP in batch mode. The second and biggest change
is to add UTF-8 support which is the major feature I hinted at earlier. The
changes needed to fix the batch mode are already known and will be made
soon. The changes to add support for UTF-8 have already been done and will
be committed to CVS after a little more testing.
That is all the news about Tiny-Fu for now. Back to testing UTF-8 support.
Changes since the 0.9.6 release:
- Plugged some memory leaks.
- Fixed a problem with aset! for string arrays.
- Added support for SF-REGION. SF-BOUNDARY, and SF-PATH.
- Added substring-equal? function.
- Other minor code changes, cleanups, and bug fixes.
- Updates and fixes to various scripts
* Removed the asc2img.sct script as it is supposedly broken
beyond repair and the functionality is in the text tool itself.
* scripts/circuit.sct: Don't try to desaturate a grayscale layer.
From a fix in Script-Fu by Bill Skaggs. Fixes bug #161470.
* scripts/copy-visible.sct: Apply the layer mask when copying a
single layer with a layer mask. Fixes bug #138662. Deprecated since
feature added to core.
* scripts/frosty-logo.sct: made sure the shadow is given enough space
and then truncated instead of translated to the center of the image,
thus preventing the display of shadows with a completely horizontal or
vertical edge. Fixes bug #132145.
* Other minor script changes.
