Bugs fixed in GAP 2.2.2: ------------------------ - corrected handling of GimpDrawable to fix crashes with GIMP 2.3 (bug #451350) - don't call gimp-image-get-filename on a closed image (bug #452080) - fixed bug that caused menu items to appear as garbabe (bug #427487) - respect the 'show-help-button' gimprc option (bug #463074) - added missing calls to gimp-plugin-domain-register - fixed sel-to-anim-img script to work properly with Tiny-Fu Here is a short overview whats new in GIMP-GAP-2.2.1: ----------------------------------------------------- (compared to gimp-gap release 2.2.0) - Storyboard dialog support to edit transition attributes. The new popup dialog allows creation and changes of the storyboard file attributes FIT_SIZE MOVE X/Y ZOOM X/Y and OPACITY creation is invoked via menu "create transition" in the story board edit dialog, changes are made via right mouse button click on the thumbnail of the transition attribute. - drag&drop support in the storyboard dialog. accept drop of images, frameranges and videoclips. drag&drop copy and move is now possible to arrange existing clips in the storyboard and/or cliplist. - Modifiy Frames support of additional functions: - set selection from alphachannel - invert existing layermask - apply filter on layermask - set layermodes (normal, dissolve, multiply, divide, screen, overlay, difference, addition, subtract, darken only, lighten only, dodge, burn, hardlight, softlight, color erase, grain extract, grain merge, hue, saturation, color, value) - new plug-in to reverse frame sequence. - wheel mouse scroll support for VCR naviagtor and playback dialogs. Here is a short overview whats new in GIMP-GAP-2.2.0: ----------------------------------------------------- (compared to gimp-gap release 2.0.2) - support upto 8 framenumber digits for frame images (mplayer style) (older support was limited to 6 digits) - Videoapi (GVA) for read access in videofiles (.mpg, .avi ....) (frames and audio) - Videoextract Plug-In extract frames and/or audio samples from a videofile, based on the GAP Video API (GVA)) - Videoextract Plug-In based on external program MPlayer - Storyboard dialog to create and edit Videocliplists (Storyboard text files) usable for Encoding Videofiles with the new Master Videoencoder plug-in. - Player can run in as widget in the storyboard dialog and the videoextract plug-in. - The Player can trace the displayed frames in a multilayer image. - Storyboard and Player can optional use the GAP Video API (GVA) to access frames in videofiles (.mpg, .avi ....) - Master Videoencoder plug-in This is a Common GUI to encode GAP framesequences or STORYBOARD files to one videofile, including audio. The user can select all registered Video Encoder plug-ins. - Videoencoder Plug-ins AVI Encoder (based on avilib, codecs: RAW, JPG, XVID) FFMPEG Encoder (based on ffmpeg, handles many MPEG based videoformats and codecs, see ffmpeg docs for detailed information) SINGLEFRAME Encoder (generate GIMP-GAP typical frame sequences as output. This may be useful to convert STORYBAORD Files to frame sequences) - Morph Plug-in generate tween layers with metamorphose transformations from source layer to destination layer The user can set controlpoints for the warp part of the transformation to track details. - Extended Onionskin Configuration allows now bidirectional references. (refer to frames +n and -n in the same frame) - Added new functions to modify frames plug-in "Copy layermask from layer above" "Copy layermask from layer below" - Active layer tracking by name or stackposition. This feature tries to set the active layer at framechanges in the new loaded frame by matching layername (or stackposition) to the active layer of the previously displayed frame. - Move-Path Plug-in: Additional methode for converting gimp-bezier paths to GIMP-GAP contolpoints in the MovePath tool. (SHIFT Grab Path allows smoother match to the bezier curve depending on the number of handled frames) Multiple functions of the "Reset All Points" button. SHIFT: copy settings of the 1.st controlpoint to all other controlpoints CTRL: mix settings of 1.st and last controlpoint into the other controlpoints inbetween. ------------------------------- old news ------------------------------- Here is a short overview whats new in GIMP-GAP-2.0.2: (compared to the gap version that once was part of gimp-1.2.x release) - new bluebox plug-in makes selected color transparent. - new features for the "MovePath" plug-in - animated perspective transformations - optional respect selected areas of the moving source object (with animated adjustable feather_radius) - integrated bluebox filter can be applied to the moving source object - tracelayer creation collects all scenes from start to current frame in one tracelayer. - tween processing for fast moving objects. collects scenes between 2 frames in the tweenlayer. - grab controlpoints from current GIMP-path - dynamic resize of the preview to follow current windowsize. - optional instant apply for the preview - playback for video frames to give a motionpreview in thumbnail quality. On linux the playback has audiosupport to play a wavefile synchron with the videoframes - the onionskin plug-ins are now integrated to gimp-gap. onionskin layer(s) usually do show previous (or next) frame(s) of the video in the current frame. - new features in "frames to multilayer image" plug-in optional respect selection(s) in the sourceframes - new features in "frames modify" plug-in - new functions to set/delete/invert selection in all handled frames - renumber plug-in for renaming frames (on disk) you can set a new starting number for the first frame and define how much digits (leading zeroes) to use for the framenumber part. - change framedensity useful for changing the framerate without changing the playback speed. duplicates frames to get higher density or deletes frames to reduce density. - render filename (or just the number part) to layer - support of the open thumbnail standard (thumbnailfiles in png fileformat in $HOME/.thumbnails that allows better quality than the old .xvpics thumbnail standard) - filtermacro scriptfiles assemble filtermacro scriptfiles by picking filtercalls from the current session and execute them later all together at one drawable. - gimp-gap now uses the preferences value save always/only on changes (gimprc keyword "trust-dirty-flag") for unconditional/conditional implicite save operations when stepping from frame to frame. - vcr-navigator internal changes (now handles unlimited number of frames) - some minor layout changes. - internal reorganisations/cleanup of the sourcecode including porting to new GIMP-2.0 and GTK+2.2 api.
