Hi, Here is the list of proposed changes in 2.6 that Sven asked for: Tools - IWarp as tool (Tor) - finishing rectangle tools (Enselic) - full use of cairo for the select/crop tools (?) - add support for color jitter in the paint tools (Adrian Likins) - paint tools should support "smudging" as they paint (Adrian Likins) - brush stroke panel for stroking with curves (Joao) - color-neutral toolbox icons that are quick to recognise and work with (?) GUI - arbitrary angle guidelines (Joao) - Cairo rendering (Sven) Metadata - migrate some parts of the metadata core to a library for the whole app (raphael) - convert EXIF to XMP, XMP to EXIF, IPTC to XMP, XMP to IPTC (raphael) - rewrite the XMP parser and the internal data model (raphael) - implement the "user-friendly" tabs in the metadata editor (raphael) - easy merging of XMP presets from a drop-down list or something similar (raphael) - implement history tracking for XMP Media Management (raphael) - allow creative editing of the embedded thumbnail (raphael) Plug-ins - simplify the user interface of jpeg plug-in (raphael) - all file plug-ins handle metadata correctly (raphael) - make sure that the last used settings are saved in a parasite attached to the image instead of using global "save_vals", etc (raphael) GEGL integration - write adapter/proxy functions/objects which enable a GEGL graphs to read/write from/to GIMP PixelRegions (?) - remove all color correction code from app/base and use GEGL operators instead (?) - if feasible in the time frame, abstract some common color correction base API out of the above step and implement a simple color correction paint tool (?) Layers - vector layers (Henk Boom?) PDB - new text tool API (Marcus Heese?) - cleaning up metadata related part of PDB (raphael) The ? character after a name means that exact intentions of that person are unknown. Let me know if I missed something.
