The latest gimp-perl module pre-release is available! This fixes problems with the 'make test', as well as running scripts from the commandline (without a Perl-Server running). It also adds licensing info to each plug-in in the examples/ directory, since these are licensed individually. If you are the author of any that I don't have info for yet (I've attempted to contact everybody), please contact me so I can add the correct information there. This release requires gimp-2.0. There's the predictable slew of bugfixes as well. See ChangeLog for details. I've finally made it through the plug-ins I can test, fixing things along the way. Several are currently non-functional (or very marginally useful from an example coding or usage standpoint), and will be removed by the final release if not made functional. These are: alpha_to_color avi border circular_text clear_alpha colourtoalpha Create_Images fire fit-text gap-vcr gimpmagick homepage-logo miff PDB perlcc logulator parasite-editor povray roundrectsel terral_text triangu visual Brief descriptions of the results of my testing are found in examples/examples.TODO. If you feel strongly that one of these should be included in the release, please let me know. I'm also accepting patches :) Many thanks to Dov Grobgeld for his fixes of several plug-ins. I'll be uploading to CPAN shortly. You can download it immediately from: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.0/perl/Gimp-2.0pre3.tar.gz Most stuff that you'd expect from a stable release is probably in here. If I don't get a lot of reports of problems, next release won't have a 'pre' attached to it. Happy GIMPing, Seth Burgess sjburges@xxxxxxxx
