Hey,
Good news for a release 1.1.0 . I will propose soon an update for my brush
preset set#2 , just polishing it.
As I'm not familiar with Git ( and I tried to commit but definitely not my
cup of tea ) I will propose the *.zip here to replace #set2, on this
mailing list. ( I wont take the risk to post it on my blog ; all Windows
user would try with 1.0 and have *.myb reading problem with the newer
format )
On antoher topic ; if someone have time around for a bit of appearance love
, feel free to insert/use vectors icons I made for Mypaint :

do anywork to make the interface looks better. I don't know how to
insert them , so i can't work on it more. ( Actual top tool bar is messy in
my opinion , ref :
http://www.davidrevoy.com/data/images/blog/2012/08/mockup-mypaint_before.jpeg)
, ( oh, I also can imagine very well having new Gimp 2.8 slider down
the
brushes panel ; they are easier to use with a tablet pen ) .
2 minor bug I encounters the most in master, to help you on the list of 158
bug :
- The one of brush icon/group-label not clickable ( or drag and drop ) ; I
have to click one or two times around on other group for the icons to be
actives. It sound like it depend of GTK theme. It happen on Greybird ( Xfce
default ), Oxygen-gtk ( on KDE ) but not on Mint-X ( of LinuxMint 13
Cinamon ) ( minor but annoying )
- Space bar and drag canvas while 'moving a layer' ( minor )
New Features list of 1.1.0 :
- Geometry tools : Line , Series of Lines and Circles
- Control of pressure for geometric line
- Curve straight lines on canvas
- Lines constrained to angles ; 45° , 90° ...
- Frame around document , with color setup and not rounded anymore to 16px
- Move and resize frame on canvas
- 'Colorize' blending mode for layer and brush (HSY)
- Symmetric drawing mode
- New color dialog : palette, gamut mapping
- Washed color dialog on canvas back from 0.6
- On canvas notifications feedback ( used for zoom level for the moment )
- Move layer mode
- Tools to pan / continuous zoom / rotate canvas on toolbar
( sorry if I forget , please add to it, I will do screenshot per feature
for Mypaint blog post ) :

Possible regression :

On old color selector docker, there was features not anymore reachable via
a docker :
- Color history
- And color infos for triad/complimentary/etc...
( I personnaly wont complain ; I didn't use them this way. )

It's that time of the year again... time for a release, I guess. No heavy
development seems to be going on right now in master, but there has been a
lot of work done since 1.0.0 (about 11 months ago).
What's everyone's status? Any objection to declare a string freeze soon,
say, in one week, and release in about a month? Anyone working on
something
that we should wait for? Are there any forgotten patches lying around that
are ready, just waiting to be pushed? Any brushset or background updates
that we should include (or remove)?
There are 158 bug reports open that aren't marked as fixed. It frustrates
me
that I didn't contribute more time to fix more of them. But there is no
reason to hold back all the good work that has been done.
It would be good to have no major regressions. The main problem seems to
be (as usual) a GTK Windows bug: https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?19948
Which means that we won't have a working Windows release. Reminder for
non-artists: MyPaint without pressure support is completely useless.
Maybe I will find the time and motivation to do a Windows debugging
session,
or maybe not. Either way, help would be appreciated. It's a critical bug
for many users. But if nobody is working on it, there is no point to delay
the release because of it.
Do we have any other important regressions?
