Hi, a new development snapshot of GIMP 2.1 is now available from ftp.gimp.org and it's mirrors: http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors This is an unstable development release. It certainly has bugs and there are a number of unfinished hacks. We are nevertheless interested in your feedback and would like you to file bug reports for crashes and non-obvious problems. Please note that you cannot install gimp-2.1 side-by-side with gimp-2.0 into the same prefix. A number of files will clash, so please use a separate prefix to install this development version! For details, please read the file INSTALL. Also, please do _not_ distribute binary packages of gimp-2.1. We are aiming for a gimp-2.2 release by the end of september, so please wait for gimp-2.2. Here's an overview of the changes since 2.1.2 was released: Overview of Changes in GIMP 2.1.3 ================================= - Cleanups to the MMX code and the composite subsystem in general - Cleanups and fixes to Gimpressionst plug-in (bug #148088) - Redone light settings GUI for Lighting plug-in. - Added keyboard shortcut editor to preferences dialog (bug #142922) - Implemented the callbacks for the various "Clear saved foobar now" buttons in the preferences dialog. - Added support for loading gradients from SVG files. This allows to share gradient definitions with Inkscape and Sodipodi (bug #148127) - Added parsers for the various ways to define a color in SVG to libgimpcolor. - Added GimpColorHexEntry widget to libgimpwidgets. It displays colors in hexadecimal represention and takes hex and SVG color names as input. - Added GimpCellRendererColor and GimpCellRendererToggle to libgimpwidgets. - Renamed GimpColor boxed type to GimpRGB and moved it to libgimpcolor. - Moved GIMP_TYPE_UNIT and GIMP_TYPE_MEMSIZE to libgimpbase. - Fixes to the BMP loader plug-in (bug #143682). - Fixes to the Decompose plug-in (bug #147603). - Added palette selector widgets to libgimpui. - Allow to disable mnemonics in menus (bug #120034). - Ported TWAIN plug-in to Mac OS X (bug #147962). - Support motion event history as provided by some input device drivers. - Let the undo system know more specifically what an undo step does.
