Our export API (and + therefore export plug-ins) does not have such requirements anymore + (and plug-ins are able to query the selected layers or channels if + necessary). + - SVG exporting now uses opaque path IDs for the 'id' attribute, and + not the GUI-visible path name anymore, to match the SVG specs. The + path ID has a limited character set and is not meant to be + human-readable. + - Clipboard brush and pattern max size limit bumped to 8192 on 64-bit + (and stays 1024 on 32-bit architecture). + - Path importing from SVG was updated to a copy of the latest C-based + librsvg code, making it much more robust. + - Proper textual warnings are added when trying to merge filters which + cannot be merged. + +Tools: + + - MyPaint Brushes: stylus barrel rotation is now supported, when + relevant to the specific brush selected. + - Paint Select (Playground): + * Processing only happens at button release. + * More events are processed. + * Do not process the graph when all events are inside selection when + adding to selection, or outside selection when removing from + selection. + * Improved local region computation. + * Add progression feedback (relies on a patch on libmaxflow, waiting + for review). + * Reset the scribbles at every stroke. + +Graphical User Interface: + + - Define headerbar button colors to ensure they match our theme style. + +Plug-Ins: + + - Vulnerabilities fixed: ZDI-CAN-28311, ZDI-CAN-28273. + +Build: + + - Package maintainership instructions were moved to the developer + website. + - Various fixes regarding versioning and RC status on several + packages, to handle name clashes and inconsistencies. + - Add the ability to localize strings at build time as a build + requirement. Technically it implies for us that the build system is + set to a locale other than C or POSIX, or that the en_US.UTF-8 is + installed on the system. This was causing our list of language not + to be properly self-localized in Preferences. + - Current scheduled MSVC jobs will build GEGL without ctx until proper + fixes are made to make it buildable for this platform. + + +Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.1.4 to GIMP 3.2.0 RC1 +===================================================== Core: @@ -282,6 +341,10 @@ API: + Deprecated Classes: * GimpDrawableChooser +Metadata: + + - Making GIMP's project vision clearer in metadata description. + Build: - Depends on babl 0.1.116 and GEGL 0.4.64.
