Hi Andreas, and first of all, bravo ! It's a very important goal ! I will not be able to help on code side... but as a Scribus user and teacher, my first question is : why not release Scribus in version 1.6 before to start such a big and complex integration project ? I'm afraid users will have to wait 3 more years for a Scribus stable release if we wait for this Harfbuzz integration... Not this is not useful and needed, but as we already discussed at Madrid (LGM2013 !) I'd personally hope for a more "release early/release often" politic in Scribus development. Maybe moving to git as ale advocated is another way. Thanks for you great work anyways ;) Camille Hi Camille, I'm afraid that won't work. Most of the stuff I like to do relies on large changes to the code base and it's just no fun to work with the old mess. Personally, I won't get involved with the properties palette rewrite -- that would be the other chunk of work that's on our todo list. This way I hope the CTL team and the other devs can work in parallel. In fact, in theory it would be possible to release 1.6 after any of the milestones I outlined, so we don't necessarily have to wait on the CTL stuff. BTW, a lot of the smaller bugs will be fixed in the 1.5.0 release, last not least the possibility to enter accented characters in canvas. /Andreas _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
