Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.2 to GIMP 3.0.4 ================================================= +Core: + + - Make maximum radius for generated brushes consistent across + codebase. + 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. 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… Build: - - Make Windows 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). + - 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. - 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). + - 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.
