Activity Earlier In The Year
- data: make the "Structure" brush obsolete
Jehan: Start obsoleting the most terrible brushes of GIMP. - pdb: make all item-transform procedures honor the "linked" flag
Michael Natterer: and improve their documentation. - data: move the Pepper brush to a "Fun" category
Jehan: This brush is not to be considered seriously and is mostly a "troll". - Bug 795410 - Deleting a layer group and then undoing the deletion ...
Ell - app: make --show-playground visible in --help
Jehan: After Alexandre Prokoudine's insistent demand! :-) I am still not sure how wise this is, since this should be really considered a "developer-only" option. - app: make the sample point dockable work with more than 4 sample points
Michael Natterer: Keep the color frames in a scrolled list of two columns, show a label if the image has no sample points, show an icon if there is no image. - app: refactor gimppaintcore-loops to coalesce iteration
Ell: The gimppaintcore-loops functions perform very little actual computational work (in case of do_layer_blend(), at least for simple blend modes), which makes the cost of buffer iteration, and memory bandwidth, nonnegligible factors. - app: make the airbrush tool thread-safe w.r.t. paint thread
Ell: GimpAirbrush currently performs painting and flushes the image on its own during the airbrush timeout. - pdb: add procedures to set the built-in gradients
Michael Natterer - data: re-add 3 brushes of very questionable origin, but as "obsolete".
Jehan: So I discover the concept of obsolete data in GIMP where some data can be apparently unavailable in the GUI, but still selectable by script.

Most Popular This Year
- icons: new symbolic icons gimp-attach and gimp-detach
Aryeom Han: These are simple on purpose since the smaller size they are displayed at is 12 px (in overlay dialogs) so it needs to be simple shapes. Note by Jehan: gimpicons.h and Makefile.am not updated yet. - app: add support for brush reflection
Ell: Add support for reflecting brushes as part of their transformation. - Add Exposure tool icon, remove erroneous stock entry for the colortemp icon
Alexandre Prokoudine - Bug 782676: require fontconfig 2.12.4 on Windows
Jehan: Fontconfig has a new slowness issue, this time apparently because of locked cache files, preventing a successful cache update. - app: add gimp:buffer-source-validate operation
Ell: gimp:buffer-source-validate is a drop-in replacement for gegl:buffer-source, however, if the attached buffer has a validating tile-handler, it makes sure the required region is validated during process(). - pdb: add procedures to set the built-in gradients
Michael Natterer - Bug 795230 - Rename Blend tool and provide PDB compatibility
Michael Natterer: Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the "edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste. The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode etc. - app: refactor gimppaintcore-loops to coalesce iteration
Ell: The gimppaintcore-loops functions perform very little actual computational work (in case of do_layer_blend(), at least for simple blend modes), which makes the cost of buffer iteration, and memory bandwidth, nonnegligible factors. - NEWS: add screenshot and color picker improvements
Jehan: Also move the Color Picker section from tools to core. - app: add --show-debug-menu command-line option
Ell: The debug menu is currently not included in stable versions. Include the menu unconditionally, but hide it, and its associated actions, by default in stable versions.
