ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.2.10 and 2.3.6 releases
Hi,
while I am writing these lines, the 22nd Chaos Communication Congress
(http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/) is coming to an end. We have had
a nice GIMP corner setup here and over the last days we have been busy
hacking on GIMP and other things. We also managed to roll out two new
GIMP releases:
GIMP 2.2.10 is a bug-fix release in the stable GIMP 2.2 series. Here's
the list of bugs fixed in GIMP 2.2.10:
- fixed build error on Sun C compiler (bug #319811)
- fixed issue with Guides scripts (bug #320933)
- corrected selection display problem (bug #319029)
- fixed potential wget issue (bug #322977)
- fixed non-interactive use of gimp-edit-stroke (bug #323778)
- fixed Script-Fu crash in some locales such as Chinese (bug #163212)
- fixed build of librsvg plug-in (bug #314400)
- fixed parameter type in "plug-in-unsharp-mask" procedure (bug #325007).
This release also features a special splash screen to celebrate GIMP's
10th anniversary. More details on the splash screen contest can be
found at http://gimp.org/contest/.
GIMP 2.3.6 is a development snapshot on the way to GIMP 2.4. Changes
since the 2.3.5 release include:
- even faster application startup
- binary relocatibility on Linux by means of binreloc
- be more verbose when being asked for it
- select color index when picking from an indexed drawable
- allow to migrate windows between displays
- mouse-wheel scrolling and zooming in plug-in previews
- added keyboard shortcuts ([ and ]) for changing the brush radius
- improved Oilify plug-in
- made the IWarp plug-in preview resizeable
- added alignment mode for cloning from a fixed location source
- completed core/ui separation of paint tools and paint methods
- bug fixes and code cleanup
The source code for both releases is available from the ususal places
(http://gimp.org/downloads#mirrors) . Binary packages should become
available soon (or are already available). If you want to try the
development snapshot, please make sure you have read the release notes
(http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html).
Happy GIMPing, Sven
