What's up with Gimp.org being closed to protest software patents?

Peace...

Hi all,

The next release in the development series of the GIMP, version 1.3.19, is now available for download from

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.19/

or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html

We think this is good enough for daily use. We are now very close to a 2.0 prerelease, so we particularly appreciate testing efforts. New bugs can be reported to us at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

We at the GIMP would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors for GIMPCon, which completed a couple of weeks ago. Special thanks go to the Free Software Foundation (http://fsf.org), who funded the majority of the costs incurred for the event. Thanks are also due to our other sponsors, O'Reilly and Associates, Germany (http://oreilly.de), MacGimp (http://macgimp.org) and FlamingText (http://ftgimp.com).

Two questions
1. Will Xsane work with this release? 2. Are there still plans for some CMYK capability in 2.0?i

That is something you need to ask the XSane developers. I don't think porting XSane to GTK+-2.x and GIMP-1.3 would be difficult and I wonder why noone has done it so far. Or is there a port already?

2. Are there still plans for some CMYK capability in 2.0?

Time will tell. I don't think it's a blocker since the basic functionality for naive CMYK support has already been added and it's a question of plug-in authors to make use of it. It seems that there's already a nice plug-in for CMYK separation available which does a much better job than anything we had planned for the near future:

So far so good.

On start up I get a lot of messages I never got before. Eg

moving plug-in translation to trash: /Script-Fu/Shadow/_Drop-Shadow... moving plug-in translation to trash: /Script-Fu/Stencil Ops/C_arve-It... moving plug-in translation to trash: /Script-Fu/Utils/ASCII to Image Layer.

etc

If I hide the console, I don't see the messages :-)

It will if someone updates the plug-in and tests it (hint, hint).

Honestly, not having a scanner I don't know - perhaps it does work already?

Cheers,

==========================

Gimp 1.3.x has been linking up with my scanner ok so far. It builds itself to use IScan for the Epson scanners. It doesn't bring the image directly into Gimp, but does allow you to acquire an image and load it afterwards, by opening IScan from within the program.

This is some harmless debugging output that we forgot to remove before doing the release. It was removed shortly after:

* app/widgets/gimpitemfactory.c (gimp_item_factory_translate_func): removed debugging output.
