We released GIMP<\/span> 2.7.4 with minor improvements and bugfixes. Most improvements are related to user interface and usability, see here<\/a> for detailed list of changes. Depending on amount of bugs we get reports on this could be the last version before 2.8 release candidates and 2.8 itself.<\/p>\n

The other good news is that between 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 Michael Natterer considerably improved GTK<\/span>+ for Mac, so GIMP<\/span> is finally going to be first class citizen on that platform.<\/p>\n

We also released new versions of GEGL<\/span> and babl. Changes in babl are mostly<\/a> improvements of the existing feature set, but GEGL<\/span> got operations ported from GIMP<\/span> filters by Robert Sasu during Google Summer of Code 2011, as well as some new operations written by the team.<\/p>\n

Resampling was improved in GEGL<\/span> thanks to Nicolas Robidoux and Adam Turcotte who added a lohalo resampler. There’s API<\/span> and infrastructure for doing non-affine resampling in place now as well.<\/p>\n

Finally, GeglView GTK<\/span> widget was separated from GEGL<\/span> into a new project called GEGL<\/span>–GTK<\/span> to simplify using GEGL<\/span> from GTK<\/span>+ applications. The work was done by Jon Nordby from MyPaint project. Jon started another project, GEGL<\/span>-Qt, to do the same for Qt. Please read his blog<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
