so far we've only considered that for gimp-1.3, but the more I think
about it the more I have to agree that we should do it for gimp-1.2.4.
The only problem I see is that we will force packagers to change the
package dependencies. I've opened a bug report for this issue
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80941). If you'd like to
comment on this subject, please attach your comment there.

I'd like to comment on bug #79754. Some time ago I built a GIMP 1.2.2
RPM for SUSE. There was a gimp-fontset.patch included:

The problem was: It did not work. If I entered umlauts into the
(dynamic) text tool, the text got truncated there (although they showed
up fine in the preview). (I used the C locale, not de_DE or
something).

I talked a bit with Daniel Egger but we didn't come to a clear solution.
If I find the time, I'll check out CVS today and give check whether the
problem persists.

I tracked down the problem to gdk_measure_text which called
XmbTextExtens which in turn returned the wrong width (truncated at first
umlaut).

I'm just telling that story to point out that fontset support might be a
hairy issue and hard to get right.

Bye, Tino.

Do you want to do anything about the print software for 1.2.4?  We've
just released our 4.2.1 release, which is much better than the 4.0.5
that you're using.

   actually we wanted to integrate gimp-print-4.2 into gimp-1.3 first.
   Then, with some experience, do the same change for 1.2. Until now
   we haven't come around to do so. Perhaps we should indeed consider
   to update gimp-print in the stable branch.

   How do you suggest should we proceed? Should we depend on
   libgimpprint or would it be a good idea to ship gimp-1.2.4 with the
   whole thing?

I'd much rather you link to libgimpprint, and I thought that that's
what we had decided.  The 4.2.1 version of the plugin, which is
presumably what you'd use, had no changes whatsoever over 4.2.0; that
code base is rock stable.  4.2.2 will offer a useful quality upgrade
(a new dither algorithm) for people printing photos, but that will be
a library-only upgrade.  4.2.3 may require a plugin upgrade to get
some new functionality that we're discussing, but the 4.2.0 plugin
will work with 4.2.3, it just won't have that new functionality.

One option might be to distribute Gimp-print as an extra (mirror the
distribution of the latest 4.2 release).

[Gimp-developer] Preparing the 1.2.4 release

2002-05-03 Thread Sven Neumann 

Hi,

we'd like to do a 1.2.4 release soon. There are a few things you can
do to help us with this task:

 - Checkout the gimp-1-2 branch from CVS, use it and report bugs if
   you have problems. Have a look at the ChangeLog to see where
   changes occured and test those areas.

 - Look through the list of open bugs for the 1.2.4 milestone (a quick
   way to get there is http://bugs.gimp.org/stable-milestone/). Some
   of these bugs need comments. Of course patches to fix them are
   highly appreciated.

 - Look through the list of bugs for reported for 1.2 and let us know
   if you think there are more bugs that could and should be targetted
   for 1.2.4.

 - If you are a translator or would like to help with translations,
   check http://sven.gimp.org/1.2/i18n.html to see if your language
   needs work.


Salut, Sven

 as soon as possible. Actually Yosh wanted to it a while ago but the
 number of bugs I've put on the 1.2.4 milestone delayed it until now.

Ah, OK. I cannot squeeze the translation work I was planning to do 
(planning to ask someone else to do, to be precise) in 'as soon as 
possible'. That's why I asked. :-)

I didn't say how soon it will be possible. This depends on a lot of
things, mostly http://bugs.gimp.org/stable-milestone/.

#77283 was actually fixed for 1.2.x already, but I've just done the extra
stuff to mark it FIXED in both trees. Six to go :)

Thanks for the fix!

I'd appreciate if you could always include the bug number (if you are
aware of it) in the ChangeLog and in the commit log.  Makes it easier
to track bugs and enables tools like Bonsai to create links to
bugzilla.
