Hi dear Synfig's users and developers!! ( [image: :?:] ) [image: ;)]
I plan to release Synfig 0.61.10 at the end of September this year. To do
that we need the effort from all the community. [image: :mrgreen:]
So I need help for:
1. Download and build install the latest git master code. I'll post here
a link to the source code and the build instructions based on the git repo
as soon as I apply the 'canvasview' and the 'reverse manipulation scale
ducks' to master branch.
2. The same as above but for Windows. Dear Pixelgeek: we need your help
on compile the source code and generate binaries for Windows. Any other
windows user help will be welcome.
3. If there is someone working on build Synfig in other OS (Mac, Solaris,
etc.) this is the moment to double efforts and raise your voice!!!.
4. Test the current bugs listed in the bug
tracker<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=144022&atid=757416>.
Report any new bug you find and/or deprecate non existing bigs. To find bugs
you need to work with the program not only start the application and go. Use
it for real work. I know that it is a bit risky due to unexpected crashes.
Just try to set the autosave frequency to something small and reasonable.
5. Complete the synfig-core and synfig-studio
translation<http://synfig.org/Translation>.
We need a complete system. Good translations make it better.
Patches<http://patches.synfig.org/groups/synfig/>are welcome
6. Update synfig.org <http://synfig.org/Main_Pagel>. There are several
missing pages. Also update the screens with the latest version should be
mandatory. To find what's missing it is very easy. Just start with the
Documentation page and explore it trying to find missing links. Anyway there
are some of new features that doesn't have any link even: i.e. Curve Warp
layer.
7. Participate on the Splash Screen Challenge! It will be during
September. Apart of improve your skills, your name will be in the Synfig
credits!. Help on manage the contest is welcome.
8. New icons are welcome! There are some icons that comes from the
standard buttons icons. Spread your imagination and submit new icons for
them!. For example: Seek next/previous keyframe, use low/hi resolution,
increase/decrease resolution.
Meanwhile I'll try to do the following:
- Solve as many bugs as I can.
- Implement some new small features. Suggestion are welcome! (and the
coders ( [image: :?:] ) keep their right to reject or accept the
suggestions [image: :lol:] ).
- Update the wiki on the areas related to source code and build
instructions.
- Post a release candidate #1 as soon as I freeze the code. That needs
more testing too.
- If bugs are found and release candidate #1 needs review then release
candidate #2.
- Perform the task of the previous list within my time, encouragement and
skills possibilities.
There are a thing that I need a lot of help. The patch from akagogo's (SVG
importer<http://synfig.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=synfig;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/genete_svg>)
would be nice to include in this version. But it doesn't want to work
properly. I'll try to fix it but I suspect that it is a big effort to
someone that doesn't have any idea on SVG format. I suspect that it can be
fixed if it is rebased to master with the fix of the Fedora problem.
If some of you can help on that it will be awesome!.
Thank you!
