------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 7 01:06:50 UTC 2025 - Marcus Rueckert - switch from pkgconfig(appstream-glib) to pkgconfig(appstream) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 7 00:56:55 UTC 2025 - Marcus Rueckert - Update to 3.0.6 - Security: - During development, we received reports from the Zero Day Initiative of potential security issues with some of our file import plug-ins. While these issues are very unlikely to occur with real files, developers like Jacob Boerema and Alx Sa proactively improved security for those imports. The resolved reports are: - ZDI-CAN-27793 - ZDI-CAN-27823 - ZDI-CAN-27836 - ZDI-CAN-27878 - ZDI-CAN-27863 - ZDI-CAN-27684 - Core: - Many false-positive build warnings have been cleaned out (and proper issues fixed). - Various crashes fixed. - When creating a layer mask from the layer's alpha, but the layer has no alpha, simply fill the mask with complete opacity instead of a completely transparent layer. - Various core infrastructure code reviewed, cleaned up, refactored and improved, in drawable, layer and filter handling code, tree view code, and more. - GIMP_ICONS_LIKE_A_BOSS environment variable is not working anymore (because "gtk-menu-images" and "gtk-button-images" have been deprecated in GTK3 and removed in GTK4) and was therefore removed. - Lock Content now shows as an undo step. - Add alpha channel for certain transforms. - Add alpha channel on filter merge, when necessary. - Filters can now be applied non-destructively on channels. - Improved Photoshop brush support. - After deleting a palette entry, the next entry is automatically selected. This allows easily deleting several entries in a row, among other usage. - Resize image to layers irrespective to selections. - Improved in-GUI release notes' demo script language: - We can now set a button value to click it: "toolbox:text, tool-options:outline=1, tool-options:outline-direction" - Color selector's module names can be used as identifiers: "color-editor,color-editor:CMYK=1,color-editor:total-ink-coverage" - Fixed Alpha to Selection on single layers with no transparency. - Various code is slowly ported to newer code, preparing for GTK4 port (in an unplanned future step): - Using g_set_str() (optionally redefining it in our core code to avoid bumping the GLib minimum requirement). - Start using GListModel in various pieces of code, in particular getting rid of more and more usage of GtkTreeView when possible (as it will be deprecated with GTK4). - New GimpRow class for all future row widgets. - Use more of G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE where relevant. - New GimpContainerListView using a GtkListBox. - New GimpRowSeparator, GimpRowSettings, GimpRowFilter and GimpRowDrawableFilter widgets. - (Experimental) GEX Format was updated. - Palette import: - Set alpha value for image palette imports. - Fix Lab & CMYK ACB palette import. - Add palette format filters to import dialog, making it more apparent what palette formats are supported, and giving the ability to hide irrelevant files. - Improved filter actions' sensitivity to make sure they are set insensitive when relevant. In particular filters which cannot be run non-destructively (e.g. filters with aux inputs, non-interactive filters and GEGL Graph) must be insensitive when trying to run them on group layers. - Fix bad axis centering on zoom out. - Export better SVG when exporting paths. - Tools: - Text tool: make sure the default color is only changed when the user confirms the color change. - Foreground Selection tool: do not create a selection when no strokes has been made. In particular this removes the unnecessary delay which happened when switching to another tool without actually stroking anything. - All Transform tools: transform boundaries for preview is now multi-layers aware. - (Experimental) Seamless Clone tool: made to work again, though it is still too slow to get out of Playground. - Graphical User Interface: - Various improvements to window management: - Keep-Above windows are set with the Utility hint. - Utility windows are not made transient to a parent. - Transient factory dialogs follow the active display, ensuring that new image windows would not hide your toolbox and dock windows. - Various CSS improvements for styling of the interface. Some theme leaks were also fixed. - New toggle button in Brushes and Fonts dockable, allowing brush and font previews to optionally follow the color theme. For instance, when using a dark theme, the brush and font previews could be drawn on the theme background, using the theme foreground colors. By default, these data previews are still drawn as black on white. - Palette grid is now drawn with the theme's background color. - Consistent naming patterns on human-facing options (first word only capitalized). - About dialog: - We will now display the date and time of the last check in a "Up to date as of at
