| Changes in GIMP 2.7.0
 | |
| =====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| UI:
 | |
|  - Change the Text Tool to perform text editing on-canvas (GSoC 2008)
 | |
|    and add the ability to mix different text styles in the same layer
 | |
|  - Add support for tagging GIMP resources such as brushes and allow
 | |
|    filtering based on these tags (GSoC 2008)
 | |
|  - Separate the activities of saving an image and exporting it, there is
 | |
|    now a 'File->Export...' for example
 | |
|  - Port file plug-ins to new export API which gets rid of many
 | |
|    annoying export dialogs
 | |
|  - Add a simple parser to size entry widgets, images can be scaled
 | |
|    to e.g. "50%" or "2 * 37px + 10in"
 | |
|  - Arrange layer modes into more logical and useful groups
 | |
|  - Added support for rotation of brushes
 | |
|  - Make the Pointer dockable show information about selection position
 | |
|    and size
 | |
|  - Get rid of the Tools dockable and move toolbox configuration to
 | |
|    Preferences
 | |
|  - Allow closing the toolbox without closing the whole application
 | |
|  - Add status bar feedback for keyboard changes to brush parameters
 | |
|  - Add diagonal guides to the Crop Tool
 | |
|  - New docks are created at the pointer position
 | |
|  - Add support for printing crop marks for images
 | |
|  - Move 'Text along path' from tool options to text context menu
 | |
|  - Change default shortcuts for "Shrink Wrap" and "Fit in Window" to
 | |
|    Ctrl+J and Ctrl+Shift+J respectively since the previous shortcuts
 | |
|    are now used for the save+export feature
 | |
|  - Make Alt+Click on layers in Layers dockable create a selection from
 | |
|    the layer
 | |
|  - Allow to specify written language in the Text Tool
 | |
|  - Support custom mapping curves for input device properties like "Pressure"
 | |
|  - New desktop launcher icon
 | |
|  - Add 'Windows→Hide docks' menu item that does what 'Tab' does and also displays
 | |
|    its state. Make the state persistent across sessions, too.
 | |
|  - Make dock window title separators translatable
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Plug-ins:

 | |
|    unified export dialog appearance
 | |
|  - Add an 'As Animation' toggle to the GIF export options
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| GEGL:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - Port the projection code, the code that composes a single image
 | |
|    from a stack of layers, to GEGL
 | |
|  - Port layer modes to GEGL
 | |
|  - Port the floating selection code to GEGL
 | |
|  - Refactor the layer stack code to prepare for layer groups later
 | |

 | |
|  - Prepare data structures for layer groups
 | |
|  - Remove gimprc setting "menu-mnemonics",
 | |
|    "GtkSettings:gtk-enable-mnemonics" shall be used instead
 | |
|  - Remove "transient-docks" gimprc setting, the 'Utility window' hint
 | |
|    and a sane window manager does a better job
 | |
|  - Remove "web-browser" gimprc setting and use gtk_show_uri() instead

| 
 | |
| General:
 | |
|
