Raw Blame History

------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
Development Branch
------------------------------
This is the development branch of GIMP.
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.2.0 RC2 to GIMP 3.2.0 RC3
=========================================================
Build:
- GIMP docs is now versioned on $DATADIR/doc/gimp-$APIVER (where
APIVER=3.0 right now).
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.2.0 RC1 to GIMP 3.2.0 RC2
=========================================================
Core:
- Historical restriction preventing saving and exporting when no
drawables are selected has been removed as moot. 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.
- Initial font loading was greatly sped up (not validating them
through harfbuzz or freetype anymore, but checking the first bytes
of every font file; a bit less robust but much faster).
- A few safety checks were added when creating new link layers and
when loading XCF files with link layers to prevent infinite loops
with cycling links.
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.
* Use the same mode box widgets as other selection tools.
Graphical User Interface:
- Define headerbar button colors to ensure they match our theme style.
- Add more spacing between buttons in default CSS.
- Keyboard shortcut dialog hint improved (broke string freeze).
- New splash image.
Plug-Ins:
- Vulnerabilities fixed: ZDI-CAN-28311, ZDI-CAN-28273, ZDI-CAN-28158.
- PSD: legacy PSD Outer Glow layer style now imported (it uses
gegl:dropshadow with certain preset values to replicate the
Photoshop filter).
- PS/EPS: default export unit is set to millimiter instead of inch.
API:
- libgimpbase:
* gimp_directory() will now return the correct path of the
virtualized config directory on MSIX.
CLI:
- Added a Bash completion file our our command line interfaces.
- CLI option --show-debug-menu is not hidden anymore from the --help
output. I don't see a good reason to hide this option, except for
making it hardly discoverable. It is enough for the debug menu to be
hidden from the GUI by default and good that CLI options show a way
to bypass this for advanced users and contributors.
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.
- Our C++ standard is now ISO C++ 14 (instead of GNU C++ 14) to make
GIMP compile with clang-cl (wrapper to MSVC) on Windows.
- Add support to MSVC's resource compiler: this allows us to support
both rc.exe (MSVC) and windres.exe (GNU).
- GIMP was made to be compilable on both GNU compilers and MSVC.
- Automate verification of Windows signature certificate and MSIX
secret.
- Minimum requirement updates: babl 0.1.118 and GEGL 0.4.66.
- AppImage is now using fully relocatable babl and GEGL.
- AppImages and Windows official builds will now always ship the debug
binaries for the hidden debug menu (which can be un-hidden with
--show-debug-menu CLI option).
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.1.4 to GIMP 3.2.0 RC1
=====================================================
Core:
- macOS: "Quit" from the dock's right-click menu will now follow our
standard Quit procedure, by intercepting the
applicationShouldTerminate signal, instead of forcing the
application to close (hence losing unsaved changes).
- "Add Layer Mask" will now have an "Edit mask immediately" checkbox
allowing to decide whether to go into Edit Mask state or not. This
setting is saved across repetitive actions, as all other settings in
this dialog.
- Filters on pass-through group layers will no longer be limited to
its children layers' bounding box, but to the actual bounding box,
which includes all lower layers. This also implies that empty
pass-through group layers can have an effect which will work like
"adjustment layers" in other software. Masks bounding box on empty
pass-through groups should also be the size of the group's render.
- New actions "layers-rasterize" and "layers-revert-rasterize" to
respectively rasterize and un-rasterize text, link or vector layers
(rasterizing these layers is now always revertable, though any
painting edit done after the rasterization is obviously lost).
- Actions "layers-link-discard", "layers-vector-discard" and
"layers-text-discard" have been removed. Only the latter existed in
previous stable versions so any custom shortcut associated to
"layers-text-discard" will be migrated as shortcut of
"layers-rasterize".
- When the GUI binary is run with --no-interface (-i) CLI option, we
branch on the same codebase as gimp-console. Therefore even though
this GUI binary still links with GTK, it won't run any GTK code and
can therefore be run on headless servers.
- Action "layers-vector-fill-stroke" removed (only available since
3.1.4, not in any stable release).
- Non-destructive filters on quick mask are merged (onto the selection
channel) when exiting the quick mask mode.
- Vector layers are now properly auto-renamed when changing their
associated path (unless the layer was explicitely named).
- It is not possible to "Merge Down" onto a pass-through layer group
anymore.
- "Merge Layer Groups" cannot be applied to pass-through groups
anymore.
- Multi-selection implemented in Document history in order to load or
remove multiple images at once.
- New "tools-swap" action (default shortcut: Shift-X) to activate the
previously used tool.
- When committing or canceling filters, GIMP will automatically swap
back to the previously used tool.
- Windows: standard output and error output are now properly
redirected to the parent console in native shells, just like on
Linux or macOS. As a consequence build option -Dwin32-debug-console
has been removed. Ctrl-C is properly handled too, and output
contains colors.
- Paths attached to a vector layer cannot be deleted or merged anymore.
- Text layer rendering has been made much more robust, even when with
very big dimensions.
- GIMP on Windows is now able to detect if it is being run from either
console or shortcut, and use the python.exe interpreter in the
former case, or pythonw.exe in latter case (silent output).
- Fixed vulnerability: ZDI-CAN-28376 (XCF loading).
Tools:
- All tools drawing directly on layers are now blocked when a text,
link or vector layer is selected. An error message will suggest you
rasterize these layers explicitly first, in order to be able to do
any "destructive" action.
- Text tool:
* Dialog when trying to edit a rasterized layer text has been reworded.
* Support pasting unformatted text with action text-tool-paste-unformatted
(shortcut Ctrl|Primary-Shift-v by default).
* On-Canvas style editor now has a move area allowing to move the
GUI on a different position on canvas. This position is remembered
per-text layer. When the position has been manually set, a reset
button will also appear in the on-canvas editor (allowing to get
back to default positionning).
- Path tool:
* Selecting a vector layer when the Path tool is active will pop a
dialog up, similar to the one which we have in Text tool when a
text layer is picked.
* Improved logic for the creation and selection of vector layers and
paths when the tool is active.
* Double clicking a vector layer would activate the Path tool on it.
The setting to change the path is moved to the layer options
dialog.
- Transform tools are not initialized anymore when they are selected
after an automatic tool swap (when a filter tool is committed or
canceled; cf. Core section).
Graphical User Interface:
- "Rasterize" and "Revert Rasterize" menu items added to Layer menu
when the selected layer is a text, link or vector layer.
- The GimpColorHexEntry will now update the chosen color as you type.
- Use a standard, yet extended, AppMenu on macOS.
- Advertize the menu path to "Rasterize" items in error messages when
trying to edit a rasterizable drawable.
- Dragging a file to the image tab bar opens the file as a new image.
- Additionally to status error messages, the layer blocking a "Merge
Down" is now blinked on the Layers dialog to draw attention.
- GimpViewableDialog header icon and view will now scale based on user
custom icon size.
- Color history colors can now be dragged and dropped, to fill or set
colors as expected, as any other color area widgets.
- It is now possible to select different objects with the same name
when listed in a GimpContainerEntry (typically, 2 fonts named the
same, when you are trying to select one of them in the font entry of
Text tool options or of the on-canvas GUI; this was already working
in the Fonts dockable, but not in the container entries).
- We can now properly blink paths in the Paths dockable too (it used
to only work for layers and channels). This will be used for
actions, to raise awareness to reasons why an action cannot be
executed.
Plug-Ins:
- file-compressor: add zip decompression support. This allows support
for loading .hgt.zip files, as well as other formats compressed with
zip.
- SVG: initial export support, including support for vector, text and
link layers natively. Raster layers and masks are optionally
embedded as either PNG or JPEG base64-encoded data.
- Gimpressionist: edit button labels to more appropriate wording.
- PDF:
* supporting for exporting vector layers as paths.
* background fill is set on all pages for multi-page PDFs.
- PVR textures: new import support.
- Replacing scale entries by spin scale widgets in various plug-ins.
- Animation Playback and ImageMap plug-ins can now be closed with
Escape like other plug-ins.
- Fixed vulnerability: ZDI-CAN-28248 (JP2 image loading).

GimpVectorLayer now implement this interface.
+ gimp_item_is_is_text_layer() will now always return TRUE for a
layer which is a text layer in backend, even if it has been
rasterized. It used not to, probably because the "Discard Text
Information" was not reversible (except by undoing), whereas now
we can "Revert Rasterize". Instead you should use
gimp_rasterizable_is_rasterized() to determine whether to consider
a GimpTextLayer as a raster layer or as a text layer.
+ gimp_file_load() as well as the image returned by a
GimpLoadProcedure are now always returned as "clean" and with

Metadata:
- Making GIMP's project vision clearer in metadata description.
Build:
- Depends on babl 0.1.116 and GEGL 0.4.64.
- The stable Snap package (on Snap Store) has been officially passed
over to the GIMP team.
- Cleanup done in devel-docs/ with more developer documentation moved
over to the developer website.
- Build option -Dwin32-debug-console removed (cf. Core section).
- Windows builds: GEGL is not built anymore with Matting Levin because
it is highly unstable (crashes) on this OS.
- Flatpak nightly builds will now show the correct version on `flatpak
list`.
- Our .exe installer will now have a dark mode (with Inno Setup 6.6.0).
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.1.2 to GIMP 3.1.4
=================================================
Core:
- About dialog now shows "Up to date as of <date>" text for more
clarity.
- Fixed config migration when updating to GIMP 3.1/2.
- Reorganizing layer search code into generic item tree view search
code for further reusing into other use cases.
- Internal classes, config items and actions renamed from "vectors" to
"path".
- Some cleanup of outdated disabled unit tests and other warnings.
- Restructuration of internal GimpControllerManager and
GimpContainerView API.
- GimpContainerListView now uses a GtkListBox. A Playground switch was
added to use the new widgets in all views that can be switched
between list and grid view (brushes, patterns etc.). This won't
likely get out of Playground before GIMP 4 because it is far too
slow right now (and apparently we'll need GTK4 for making it fast as
our current lists).
- Various code have been moving away from GtkTreeView and some new
internal classes were added as a preparation for GTK4 port.
- GEX format updated to use standard <custom/> instead of <metadata/>
per update in the AppStream specs in the last few years. This
doesn't make any compatibility issue since this format is purely
internal only for now, not public.
- New setting "Update metadata automatically" in Preferences > Image
Import & Export > Export Policies. When enabled, add and update
metadata automatically. When disabled, only the minimum necessary
metadata changes are made, without changing modification date,
synchronizing tags, or updating the software and change history
metadata. This new setting is enabled by default.
- Fix palette import to properly import colors with alpha values from
palettes.
- New layer types:
* vector layers
* link layers
- Fill/Stroke editor are now live-previewing color changes for vector
layer fill/stroke and text layer outlines.
Tools:
- MyPaint brush tool was ported to the newer MyPaintSurface2 API. A
consequence is that we now depend on mypaint-brushes-2.0 instead of
mypaint-brushes-1.0.
- Seamless Clone (Playground): made to work again, but is still too
slow to move out of Playground.
- The Paths tool has updated UI to create vector layers.
- Text tool: bold, italic and underline can now be applied with
commonly used shortcuts (Ctrl+b, i and u respectively).
- Vector and Link layers cannot be painted on, and filters cannot be
merged on them. They now need to be explicitly downgraded to raster
layers.
Graphical User Interface:
- More consistent capitalization across text in UI.
- Use system colors on Windows title bar when System colors theme is
set.
- Make the comment text area sensitive in Export procedure dialogs
depending on whether "Save Comment" checkbox is checked or not.
- In various GUI using a GtkStack (Input Controller dialogue,
Preferences dialogue, and Welcome dialogue), we now turn off
animations when it is set OFF system-wide.
- "System" color scheme now also works on macOS.
- GimpSpinScale cursors now changed to "pointer" when hovering the
slider area and "col-resize" when actually grabbing the cursor.
- The Welcome dialog will now recognize your standard shortcuts to
create a new file, open a file or open one of the 10 most recent
files.
Plug-Ins:
- TIFF - Add support for the following features, based on unofficial
documentation and user-provided sample files:
* Sets the selected layer based on the image-level metadata.
* Sets the visibility of the background layer based on the image
level metadata.
* Sets the blend mode and color tag of each layer, based on extended
layer-level metadata. Legacy blend modes are used, based on
user feedback and comparison with Sketchbook.
* Creates group layers and stores layers in them. Layers are read from
top to bottom, and layer groups are added and filled based on layer
level metadata.
- Animation Playback was redesigned to more closely resemble standard
playback UIs. The redesign also changes the progress bar to a
GtkScale, so users can more easily move to different frames on the
timeline.
- New GEGL Filter Browser plug-in to list and inspect all available
filters for development purpose.
- New import support:
* PAA textures: initial import support (includes RGBA 4444, 5551,
8888, and Grayscale with Alpha channel. It does not yet cover DXT1
- 5 texture import support).
* Seattle Filmworks photos (earliest format SFW93A, and the most
common format SFW94A). Both formats are essentially mangled JPEGs,
though mangled in different ways.
* HRZ Slow Scan Television Images (restored, as it used to be
implemented and removed in 2004).
- Raw Image data plug-in dialog redesigned to be on a two-column
layout to avoid over-high dialog.
- Print: in sandboxed environments (Flatpak, Snap), the print Settings
are now displayed as a second dialog after the portal print dialog.
This 2-step workflow is a work-around to the inability to tweak the
print dialog when the print portal is in use.
API:
- GimpTRCType enum type made available in libgimp and PDB.
- gimp-file-save properly sets associated save or exported files.
- New PDB/libgimp functions:
* gimp_drawable_filter_operation_get_available()
* gimp_drawable_filter_operation_get_details()
* gimp_drawable_filter_operation_get_pspecs()
* gimp_context_get_paint_fade_length()
* gimp_context_get_paint_fade_repeat()
* gimp_context_set_paint_fade_length()
* gimp_context_set_paint_fade_repeat()
* gimp_item_id_is_vector_layer()
* gimp_param_spec_vector_layer()
* gimp_procedure_add_vector_layer_argument()
* gimp_procedure_add_vector_layer_aux_argument()
* gimp_procedure_add_vector_layer_return_value()
* gimp_vector_layer_discard()
* gimp_vector_layer_get_by_id()
* gimp_vector_layer_new()
* gimp_vector_layer_refresh()
- GimpSizeEntry (libgimpwidget) can now parse mathematical expressions
in their reference value spin buttons too.
- GimpColorScales (libgimpwidget) will now set its decimals to 0 when
creating u8 RGB color selectors. This change will help further
distinguish between the 0...00 and 0..255 views in the Color
Selectors. It will also better convey to users that u8 is an integer
value rather than a floating point.
- Favor existing image comment instead of always loading comment from
metadata.
- Improve handling of comment metadata with
"charset=[ascii|InvalidCharsetId]" prefixes.
- New GIMP_METADATA_SAVE_UPDATE value in enum type
GimpMetadataSaveFlags (libgimpbase).
- Modernize setting "Exif.Image.DateTime" metadata by setting the
timezone additionally.
Build:
- Add nightly Snap package.
- Add nightly Aarch64 flatpak.
- appstream-glib dependency replaced with libappstream
- Installer uses latest InnoSetup now.
- New configure option -Dwin-debugging allowing to choose DWARF debug
symbols on Windows instead of the native (CodeView) symbols. This
will be useful for people wishing to debug with GDB in particular.
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.4 to GIMP 3.1.2
=================================================
Core:
- Layer mask created from layer's alpha when there is no alpha
channel is now a fully opaque mask.
- Major non-destructive filter code refactoring.
- Lock Content now generates undo steps.
- NDE filters are now allowed on channels.
- Merging filter will now add an alpha channel to a layer if required.
- Refactoring Photoshop stream loading functions.
- Loading Photoshop RGB and grayscale patterns (.pat, unfortunately
the same extension as our own pattern format) now supported.
- The histogram editor now shows a "Compute unique colors:" checkbox
which will display the unique color count in the image.
- Deleting current palette entry now selects the next entry in the
palette.
- New paint mode: Overwrite. Note that this mode is only available for
paint tools right now (in particular not for layers, neither in
filters).
Graphical User Interface:
- Brushes and Fonts dockables: new "Use theme colors for preview"
toggle button.
- The Palettes and Palette Editor dockables, and the Palette tab in
FB/BG Color dockable, also follow theme colors for grid display.
- New "System" color scheme which will follow the system's color
scheme setting (on Unix-like systems when XDG Settings portal is
installed and on Windows).
Tools:
- Curves tool: Photoshop curves file format (.acv) can now be loaded.
- Levels tool: Photoshop levels file format (.alv) can now be loaded.
- Text tool: new "Outline Direction" settings.
Plug-Ins:
- Jigsaw: the plug-in now draws on transparent layers too.
- Playstation TIM images now supported (import/export).
- Palettes can now be exported as Krita .kpl palette.
- Over The Air Bitmap (Nokia mobile image format) now supported for
import.
- PSD:
* legacy Drop Shadow layer style is now imported on loading.
* legacy Inner Shadow layer style is now imported on loading.
- file-raw: new support for ART (Another RawTherapee, fork of the
latter) as a RAW loader.
- OpenEXR: support for importing multi-layer OpenEXR images.
- JPEG 2000: export support added.
- APNG: initial import support.
- JIF: new import support for Jeff's Image Format.
- ORA: support the extensions storing layer's "pixel locked" and
"selected" status on import and export.
- Script-Fu: new function (script-fu-register-i18n) for setting up
localization of Script-Fu plug-ins.
- HEIF:
* new AVCI import support (requires libheif 1.19.6 with OpenH264
decoder enabled);
* new HEJ2 export support (requires libheif 1.19.8 with OpenJPEG
support).
- New export support for PSB.
Modules:
- CMYK selector: Total Ink Coverage (total percentage of ink that
would be needed to print a particular color) information is now
shown.
API:
- Changes in libgimpwidgets:
* New functions:
+ gimp_prop_toggle_new()
- Changes in libgimpui:
* New functions:
+ gimp_procedure_dialog_get_coordinates()
* gimp_procedure_dialog_get_widget() will now generate a radio frame
widget for GimpChoice arguments of 2 choices only (and will still
default to a combo box for larger choices list).
PDB:
- none_ok tag now allowed on sample_point and guide PDB types.
Build:
- File format associations list now generated by the build system for
Windows and OSes using the Desktop file.
- Flatpak: verify nightly flatpak dependencies with the
flatpak-external-data-checker (like we do for stable and beta
flatpaks).
- Various non-portable scripts were ported to be properly
POSIX-compliant and to allow native builds on all OS (e.g. Windows).
- Some soft checks were also added to the build system to prevent
re-introduction of non-portable code.
Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.2 to GIMP 3.0.4
=================================================
Core:
- Make maximum radius for generated brushes consistent across
codebase.
- Use NDE filter name for undo history.
- Module loading improved to be better cross-platform (in particular
on macOS both .so and .dylib modules are supported).
- Code compliant with GCC 15 (C23).
- Filter size updated when its drawable is rotated.
- Font loading (at startup) optimized.
- Set the proper program name for KDE/Wayland to map the process to
the correct desktop file.
- "windows-display-*" are hidden from the Shortcuts dialog (they are
not meant to be remapped).
- Editing non-destructive effects now triggers undo steps.
- When migrating from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3, shortcuts for actions
"edit-paste-as-new-layer*" are now converted to "edit-paste-merged*"
(and not "edit-paste*" anymore which was confusing and
counter-productive).
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.
- Removed size restrictions on Display Filters.
- Don't show hidden tools on toolbox tooltips.
- Fix "Keep above" Window Manager hint.
- Multi-Window mode on Windows: dock windows' title bars now adapt to
the Windows system theme colors too.
- Show palette name in Palette Color Selector.
Tools:
- MyPaint Brush: have consistent options layout compared to other
paint tools.
- Scissors Select Tool: close the curve on Enter, similar to the Path
tool.
- Path Tool: connect path on click in design mode.
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, TIFF, PSD,
BMP, ICO…
- Screenshot dropdowns replaced by radio buttons, as part of a new UX
decision that choice settings with 2 or 3 choices should be dropdown
(faster 1-click access), unless there are a lot more settings making
the dialog too crowded already.
PDB:
- Make "gimp-plug-ins-query" public again (yet still not available in
libgimp).
Build:
- 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.
* Restore points now have a timeout to prevent stuckness.
- 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), except
on x86 (32-bit).
- 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.
- Depency requirement bumped:
* babl 0.1.114
* GEGL 0.4.62
- New "Inputs" feature for simpler Gitlab pipelines running.
- Some in-repository documentation was cleaned up.
