Hi, Robert L Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'd much rather you link to libgimpprint, and I thought that that's what we had decided. 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).

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). -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works. --Eric Crampton ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Preparing the 1.2.4 release
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.
