Babygimp Changelog

(The version numbering is somewhat arbitrary.)

02.12.01: Version 0.41

Major Changes:

• More flexible flood fill tool (makes e.g. the removal of backgrounds much easier)
• More gradient options
• Spray tool allows randomization (makes it easier to create textures)
• Angles of straight lines can be restricted to multiples of 30 or 45 degrees.
• Primitive smoothing replaced by Gaussian blur
• Primitve filter to remove isolated pixels added

20.11.01: Version 0.4 pre

Changes:

• The palette can now be customized; it is also possible to have several palette files.
• Color selection mechanism changed.
• More flexible gradient tool
• GUI strongly improved
• Bugfixes

22.05.01: Final release of version 0.31

Changes:

• Primitive smoothing tool added
• Manual updated

13.05.01: Version 0.3.1 prereleased.

Major changes:

• Importing and exporting to other formats than xpm is simplified now. One may specify external conversion programs (like convert from ImageMagick) which will automatically be called based on the image file extension. This is much more comfortable than exporting/importing via plugins like in version 0.3.
• Warp tool added.
• Minor changes in the gui and some code cleanup.

6.5.01: Version 0.3 released.

I still resisted the temptation to split Babygimp in several modules. This would make the programming much easier but require Babygimp to be installed. But i still think that small applications should be standlone ready to run files.

Major changes:

• Plugin support (! :-)))
• Tk::Fileselect replaced by a homebrew file selector which supports bookmarks and wildcharts.
• Timout added for loading and saving images. (In version 0.2 loading unknown file formats or even some gifs sometimes caused hangups. Also saving gifs with many colors sometimes resulted in hangups. This is due to a bug in the Tk::Photo method.) This was a bit tricky since the methods of Tk::Photo may crash (die) or hang up.
• Undoing is now limited since unlitited undo could be extremely memory consuming.
• Some minor optimisations, but loading large pixmaps is still slow.
• Explode/implode function removed since such effects are better done by plugins.
• Saving images restricted to xpm since the photo->data method (which was used before for saving gifs) is too buggy. Moreover one may use now exporter plugins.
• Filled ellipses drawing improved.

25.4.01: Version 0.2 released

Changes:

• Some minor Bugfixes
• New feature: radial gradients
• Preferences dialog added
• The documentation is now written in HTML and the help function calls an external browser
• Babygimp logo created :-))

15.4. 01: Version 0.1 released
