GNU Image Manipulation Program

|
2.10 Stable Branch
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the stable branch of GIMP. Unlike earlier stable branches,
|
|
we do allow some new features here, if they are not too invasive.
|
|
Otherwise, this branch is only for bug-fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.4 to GIMP 2.10.6
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
Core:
|
|
|
|
- Render drawable previews asynchronously.
|
|
|
|
Filters:
|
|
|
|
- New "Little Planet" (gegl:stereographic-projection) filter.
|
|
|
|
User Interface:
|
|
|
|
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has an "async" field to the
|
|
dashboard's "misc" group, showing the number of async operations
|
|
currently in the "running" state.
|
|
- New Preferences option to enable/disable layer-group previews, since
|
|
these can get quite time-expensive.
|
|
|
|
Translations:
|
|
|
|
- New language: Marathi
|
|
- 3 translations were updated: Italian, Spanish, Swedish.
|
|
|
|
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.2 to GIMP 2.10.4
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
Core:
|
|
|
|
- Remove gimp_display_shell_draw_background() and all clipping hacks
|
|
for drawing the canvas background. This optimizes away one entire
|
|
step of drawing of image size, for each expose.
|
|
- Font loading does not block startup anymore. Only consequence is
|
|
that the Text tool may not be usable immediately if fonts are not
|
|
fully loaded yet (and will output an appropriate error if you do
|
|
so). All non-text related activities can be performed right away.
|
|
- Change of the URL from bugzilla to gitlab where appropriate.
|
|
- New tool option manager to better keep track of user context and
|
|
paint options in a consistent manner.
|
|
|
|
User Interface:
|
|
|
|
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has a 'Memory' group that shows
|
|
memory-usage information: the currently used memory size, the
|
|
available physical memory size, and the total physical memory
|
|
size. It can also show the tile-cache size, for comparison
|
|
against the other memory stats. Note that the upper-bound of the
|
|
meter is the physical memory size, so the memory usage may be over
|
|
100% when GIMP uses the swap.
|
|
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has "read" and "written" fields in
|
|
the dashboard swap group, which report the total amount of data
|
|
read-from/written-to the tile swap, respetively. Additionally, the
|
|
swap busy indicator (used as the meter's LED) has been improved,
|
|
so that it's active whenever data has been read-from/written-to
|
|
the swap during the last sampling interval, rather than at the
|
|
point of sampling.
|
|
- Fonts can now be tagged. The user interface is the same as for
|
|
brushes, patterns etc.
|
|
- Some icons fixed: larger spacing between broken chains and
|
|
gimp-tool-ellipse-select made symmetrical.
|
|
|
|
Usability:
|
|
|
|
- When a plug-in cannot be applied to an image because of mismatch
|
|
in image types (e.g. layer has no alpha or image is greyscale),
|
|
GIMP now displays a message listing supported image types for this
|
|
plug-in.
|
|
|
|
Tools:
|
|
|
|
- The Measurement tool now has an "Auto straighten" option allowing
|
|
to rotate the active drawable (layer, channel…) so that the
|
|
measurement line is used as horizon. As other transform tools, the
|
|
feature will work on linked drawables as well.
|
|
- The Smudge tool now paints correctly on images with a color
|
|
profile other than the GIMP's built-in one.
|
|
|
|
Build:
|
|
|
|
- Installer: set compatibility options to run Python plugins in
|
|
HiDPI-aware mode.
|
|
- Put back compatibility DLLs for really old plugins.
|
|
- Install binary tool `gimp-test-clipboard` on the system to allow
|
|
people to help us debug clipboard bugs.
|
|
- --enable-bundled-mypaint-brushes renamed
|
|
--enable-relocatable-bundle and also make WMF fonts looked up on
|
|
the runtime prefix of GIMP (instead of the build-time path) when
|
|
this build option was set.
|
|
|
|
Plug-ins:
|
|
|
|
- gimptool-2.0 binary now accepts source files with non-standard
|
|
extensions if it can try to guess appropriate language from the
|
|
compiler being used. It will also properly quote arguments for
|
|
shell usage.
|
|
- Run explicitly Python 2 as Python plug-in interpreter to prevent
|
|
breakage on systems where Python 3 is the default.
|
|
- raw_input()'s argument in Python console is now optional, and
|
|
input() support has been added.
|
|
|
|
File Formats:
|
|
|
|
- The PSD loader now provides an option to load "merged",
|
|
pre-composited version of the images that becomes available when a
|
|
PSD file was saved with "Maximize Compatibility" option enabled in
|
|
Photoshop. This is useful when loading PSD files that use features
|
|
that GIMP doesn't currently support, and therefore can't render
|
|
correctly, such as adjustment layers. When loading the merged
|
|
image version, we avoid loading certain additional data from the
|
|
file, such as channels, paths, and guides, while still loading
|
|
metadata. This option is currently exposed as an additional file
|
|
type ("Photoshop image (merged)"), which has to be explicitly
|
|
selected from the file-type list when opening the image.
|
|
- Embedding GIMP's built-in sRGB color profile to exported files is
|
|
now optional. The default choice can be set in the Preferences
|
|
dialog.
|
|
|
|
Translations:
|
|
|
|
- Updated translations: Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish,
|
|
Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Romanian, Russian,
|
|
Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian.

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.0 to GIMP 2.10.2
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
Core:
|
|
|
|
- Discard fonts which fail to load and popup an info dialog to allow
|
|
people debug their fonts.
|
|
- New API to suppress updates in UI until plug-ins are done
|
|
introducing changes.
|
|
- New API to calculate histograms in separate threads, with possible further
|
|
extension to handle similar cases elsewhere in GIMP.
|
|
- Tool options are now properly saved and reloaded per-device at
|
|
startup.
|
|
|
|
Plug-ins:
|
|
|
|
- New plug-in for importing and exporting HEIF images.
|
|
- Enable visibility of rasterized vector layer from PSD.
|
|
- Single-window screenshots in Windows fixed to correctly snap a
|
|
window even when it is partly off-screen or covered by another
|
|
window or when display scaling is not set to 100%.
|
|
|
|
Filters:
|
|
|
|
- New Spherize filter to wrap an image around a spherical cap
|
|
- New Recursive Transform filter to create Droste effect.
|
|
|
|
Usability:
|
|
|
|
- Warn users, when alpha-only painting has no effect. E.g. when target
|
|
drawable doesn't have an alpha channel, or the alpha channel is locked.
|
|
- Make the splash texts dynamic, so they are larger on larger splashes.
|
|
- Mention pressing Enter to complete Foreground selection in the status bar.
|
|
- Make sure that clicking outside any selection prevents Rectangle Select
|
|
and Ellipse Select tools from creating empty selections.
|
|
- Improve mouse wheel zooming behavior to keep the same point
|
|
centered under the pointer even if the image is completely visible
|
|
in the canvas.
|
|
- Add "View -> Center Image in Window" (Shift+J) as a quick way to
|
|
center the image at any zoom level.
|
|
|
|
Translations:
|
|
|
|
- Updated translations: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek,
|
|
Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Russian, Spanish,
|
|
Swedish, Ukrainian.
|
|
- New translation of Windows installer: Chinese (Taiwan)
|
|
|
|
Build:
|
|
|
|
- Add a --with-bug-report-url configure option allowing packagers to
|
|
set the address of their own bug tracker. This address will be the
|
|
one opened by the debug dialog for reporting bugs.
|
|
- Add a flatpak manifest for the gtk3-port branch.
|
|
- Remove the possibility to disable script-fu.
|
|
- Add a --with-icc-directory configure option to customize the color
|
|
profile directory. By default, it is set to the common path
|
|
/usr/share/color/icc.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
|
|
- Updating the description of the XCF format "devel-docs/xcf.txt", for
|
|
third-party readers wishing to support GIMP 2.10 XCF files.
|
|
- Add documentation skeletons for all enums in libgimpbase/, there is
|
|
much room for improvement.
