[Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.1.5 Development Release

2004-09-20 Thread Sven Neumann
Hi,

a new development snapshot of GIMP 2.1 is now available from
ftp.gimp.org and it's mirrors:

   http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors

This is an unstable development release. It certainly has bugs and
there are a number of unfinished hacks. We are nevertheless interested
in your feedback and would like you to file bug reports for crashes
and non-obvious problems.

Please note that you cannot install gimp-2.1 side-by-side with
gimp-2.0 into the same prefix. A number of files will clash, so please
use a separate prefix to install this development version! For
details, please read the file INSTALL.


Here's an overview of the changes since 2.1.4 was released:

- Ask the user to save the image when closing the last display.

- Restored compatibility of the wire protocol that was accidentally
  broken in 2.1.4.

- Added layer and mask actions to allow to create keybindings for them.

- Preview widget improvements:
   * let the preview expand with the plug-in dialog
   * added a navigation popup similar to the one in the image window
   * respect the selection and show how it will affect the filter
   * added API to draw to a GimpDrawablePreview from a GimpPixelRgn

- Added preview to more plug-ins: Cartoon, Apply Canvas, Photocopy,
  Motion Blur,

- Ported the Bumpmap plug-in preview to GimpDrawablePreview.

- Removed -u linker hacks from all Makefiles.

[Gimp-developer] how layers actually get merged?

2004-09-20 Thread bear
hi,
Assume there are four layers, all of which are in Normal mode and grayscale.
for a specific pixel in each layer,
Their intensity and alpha values(mapped to [0,1]) are
i1,a1
i2,a2
i3,a3
i4(background)

the merged intensity is ((i1*a1+i2*(1-a1))*a2+i3*(1-a2))*a3+i4*(1-a3)
am I correct? Thanks!

[Gimp-developer] Tiny-Fu 0.9.2: second maintenance release

2004-09-20 Thread Kevin Cozens
Greetings, all.
A tarball of version 0.9.2 of Tiny-Fu is now available at:
http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/software/gimp/tiny-fu.html
This is the second maintenance release of Tiny-Fu. The most important 
change is a fix related to the handling of PDB *ARRAY data types. It 
also allows more data cells to be allocated by the built-in Scheme 
interpreter. These two changes (plus some other minor changes) means 
that Tiny-Fu now installs and runs with 92 of the original Script-Fu 
scripts.

The patch file which hooks the Tiny-Fu source in to the GIMP source tree 
has been updated to include the directory containing the language 
translation files as part of a build. I have created files for en_CA and 
en_GB with all strings translated.

I would appreciate help from anyone who can help with updating the 
translation files for other languages. I am not expecting any changes to 
strings used in the program or accompanying scripts in the near future 
to allow time for the language translation files to be brought up to date.

The next major tasks on the TODO list for Tiny-Fu are to bring some of 
the documentation up-to-date, and to take a closer look at including 
full UTF8 support in the embedded Scheme interpreter.

Changes since the 0.9.1release:
o Fixed cons-array definition which fixed the handling of the PDB *ARRAY 
data types.
o Changed the 'rand' routine for better compatability with the older 
SIOD version.
o Allow more data cells to be allocated. As a result, 93 scripts are now 
installed along with the Tiny-Fu plug-in.
o Added constant gimp-dir for use in scripts.
o Updated English language translation files.
