One of the big improvement in this commit is that text layers are now much better at space accuracy. They were already space-aware, yet rendered as sRGB u8 only before being converted to the image's space. It means that text layers had the following limitations: * Any color out of sRGB gamut were trimmed. * Precision was always 8-bit (even if the image was high-bit depth). Now GimpTextLayout keeps track of its source space (for RGB and CMYK only, this won't be as easy when we will support more backend, since Cairo has only RGB support for image data) and the image TRC (in case it bypasses the color space's TRB) and it draws within this gamut and space. It means first that we are not limited to sRGB colors; we will draw text main color in the full image gamut, with still 2 remaining limitations: * Unbounded colors are impossible because Pango format (to color text) uses hexadecimal (so even with half/float images, you can't draw out-of-gamut text unfortunately). * Main color precision is still 8-bit, yet a tiny bit better than before as we at least follow TRC (so we avoid some of the precision loss when converting, even though the bit-depth is still the biggest loss). The outline color on the other hand is drawn through Cairo API entirely, in float. This means that the outline color will now be without any precision loss. Note that this depends on CAIRO_FORMAT_RGBA128F which is only available since Cairo 1.17.2 which is not in Debian bookworm (our current baseline for GIMP 3.0). It means that the old precision will still happen with older Cairo version, as determined by #if code at compilation. |

------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3.0. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do
what you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
1. Web Resources
================
GIMP's home page is at:
https://www.gimp.org/
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:
https://docs.gimp.org/
2. Contributing
===============
GIMP source code can be found at:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/
Resources for contributors:
https://developer.gimp.org/
In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some
articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:
* Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/
* GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/
* Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/
3. Discussion Channels
======================
We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
development discussion. There is more info at:
https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
also included in that page.
4. Customizing
==============
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/shortcutsrc`.
Have fun,
