This is to announce gimp-print 3.1.3. This is still a development release. The following are the release notes for this version: 1) Completely revamped dithering algorithms. These algorithms should be faster and easier to maintain in addition to better, particularly on more advanced printers. There are additional choices for dithering algorithms: an ordered dither, and two kinds of Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion. There are also adaptive error diffusion algorithms, in which ordered dithering is used in certain circumstances. 2) The user interface has been heavily revamped. There are currently two options, one based on the Gimp native toolkit and one based on GTK. Depending upon user feedback, one will be withdrawn at some point. 4) Support for additional Hewlett-Packard printers and media. 3) Bug fixes for Epson printers, the GhostScript driver, and many other things. Since his name won't appear in the change logs, special thanks to Thomas Tonino for much productive discussion about dithering algorithms.
