single image from a stack of layers
- Change the Text Tool to perform text editing on-canvas (GSoC 2008)
- Add support for tagging GIMP resources such as brushes and allow
filtering based on these tags (GSoC 2008)
- Separate the activies of saving an image and exporting it, there is
now an 'File->Export...' for example
- 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
- Port layer modes to GEGL
- Rearrange leagcy layer mode code to increase maintainability
- New docks are created at the pointer position
- Allow to benchmark projectino performance with
File->Debug->Benchmark Projection
- Clean up and merge infrastructure code from the GSoC 2006 Vector
Layer branch
- Clean up and merge on-canvas text editing code from the GSoC 2008
On-Canvas Text Editing branch
- Move 'Text along path' from tool options to text context menu
- Refactor the layer stack code to more easily allow nesting of
layers aka layer groups later
- Show selection position and size in the Pointer dockable
- Merge support for tagging and tag-based selection of resources such
as brushes from the GSoC 2008 Tagging of Resources branch
- Add support for printing crop marks for images
- Smooth painting strokes with Catmull-Rom Spline based event
interpolation
- Port the floating selection code to GEGL
- Prepare better and more intuitive handling of the floating
selection
- Support rotation of brushes
- Allow brush dynamics to depend on tilt
- Add File->Debug->Show Image Graph that show the GEGL graph of an
image
- Add diagonal guides to the Crop Tool
- Drop support for the GnomeVFS file-uri backend
- Add aspect ratio to brush dynamics
- Allow to dump keyboard shortucts ith File->Debug->Dump Keyboard
Shortcuts
- Separate the activites of saving and exporting images
- Added support for rotation of brushes
- Make the Pointer dockable show information about selection position
and size
- Add status bar feedback for keyboard changes to brush paramaters
- Add a simple parser to size entry widgets
- 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+R and Ctrl+Shift+R respectively since the previous shortcuts
are now used for the save+export
are now used for the save+export feature
