Hi all,
GIMP 2.2 has been released
http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.2.html
Major changes
* Previews for transform tools
* Previews for many plugins that didn't have them, and improved
previews for many that did.
Preview now can resize and contain a navigation popup just like
the main image window.
* Many user interface changes to improve layout of dialogs, and
comply more closely with Human Interface Guidelines.
* Greatly improved drag-and-drop between GIMP and other
applications.
* Improved ability to copy and paste between GIMP and other
applications, including OpenOffice and Abiword.
* New file open/save dialogs. The open dialog does automatic
thumbnailing, using embedded EXIF thumbnails if available.
* Much content covered by the help.
* A new script interpreter, Tiny-fu, which will eventually replace
Script-fu. Shipped separately
* A new keyboard shortcut editor, allowing shortcuts to be defined
for many more things than before, including many actions that
don't have menu entries.
* Interface for controlling various parameters with a variety of
devices. Allow keyboard, mouse wheel, MIDI controller, etc to be
used as a GIMP controller.
* New plugins: neon, cartoon, photocopy, softglow, dog, retinex,
glob.
Gnumeric 1.4 is out
http://gnomedesktop.org/node/2090
Changes:
Improved Microsoft Excel(tm) compatibility:
Charts and images can now be exported, and objects (even Forms)
are handled more smoothly. There is full support for all types
of 'array' formulas and operators.
Better Charting:
Several new types of charts have been added, and many features,
such as error bars, and non-linear plots, have been added.
Improved accuracy:
While Gnumeric 1.2 was already the best available source for
accuracy in statistical calculations, Gnumeric 1.4 is even
better. We are cooperating with The R Project to make this
happen.
Win32 and small device portability:
It is now possible to run Gnumeric on Microsoft Windows. The
port is not quite production ready, but is maturing rapidly.
With a small loss of functionality Gnumeric can also build with
only the Gtk+ library stack dropping the remainder of the GNOME
library set for small devices.
Network transparency:
Gnumeric can now access spreadsheets stored on web servers
directly.
Even more sheet functions:
We have added even more sheet functions to Gnumeric, for example
a set of functions for telecommunications engineering. Gnumeric
now has 470 sheet functions including all sheet functions in the
North American version of Microsoft Exceltm XP, and more than
100 beyond that.
Rich and Rotated Text:
Multiple formats and fonts within strings, and in 1.4.2 rotated
text is supported too. (This requires recent versions of Pango
and the Gnome Print libraries.)
Improved printing:
Printing has been improved and is now using the same layout
mechanism as on-screen. This should greatly reduce printing
surprises. (This requires recent versions of Pango and the Gnome
Print libraries.)
GTK+ 2.4/2.6 integration:
Gnumeric takes advantage of, for example, GTK+'s highly improved
file selector.
-thanks-
