- 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-27684
- fix dicom plug-in:
Adds more safety checks and sets actual GError's instead of just
calling gimp_quit. Fix GIMP DCM File Parsing Heap-based Buffer
Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
(CVE-2025-10922, ZDI-CAN-27863, bsc#1250497)
- 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 <date> at <time>" string, differing
from the "Last checked on <date> at <time>" string. The
former will be used to indicate that GIMP is indeed
up-to-date whereas the latter when a new version was
released and that you should update.
- We now respect the system time/date format on macOS and
Windows.
- The search popup won't pop up without an image.
- Better zoom step algorithm for data previews in container
popup (e.g. the brush popup in paint Tool Options).
- Disable animation in the Input Controller, Preferences and
Welcome dialogs for stack transition when animation are
disabled in system settings.
- Fixed crosshair hotspot on Windows (crosshair cursor for
brushes was offset with a non-100% display scale factor).
- Debug/CRITICAL dialog:
- Make sure it is non-modal.
- Follow the theme mode under Windows.
- While loading images, all widgets in the file dialog are made
insensitive, except for the Cancel button and the progress
bar.
- Both grid and list views can now zoom via scroll and zoom
gestures (it used to only work in list views).
- Pop an error message up on startup when GIO modules to read
HTTPS links are not found and that we therefore fail to load
the remote gimp_versions.json file. With the AppImage package
in particular, we depend on an environment daemon which
cannot be shipped in the package. So the next best thing is
to warn people and tell them what they should install to get
version checks.
- Welcome dialog:
- The "Community Tutorials" link is now shown after the
"Documentation" link.
- The "Learn more" link in Release Notes tab leads to the
actual release news for this version.
- Plug-ins:
- PDF export: do not draw disabled layer masks.
- Jigsaw: the plug-in can now draw on transparent layers.
- Various file format fixes and improvements: JPEG 2000 import,
TIFF import, DDS import, SVG import, PSP import, FITS export,
ICNS import, Dicom import, WBMP import, Farbfeld import, XWD
import, ILBM import.
- Sphere Designer: use spin scale instead of spin entries (the
latter is unusable with little horizontal space).
- Animation Play: frames are shown again in the playback
progress bar.
- Vala Goat Exercise: ignoring C warning in this Vala plug-in
as it is generated code and we cannot control it.
- file-gih: brush pipe selection modes now have nice,
translatable names.
- Metadata viewer: port from GtkTreeView to GtkListBox.
- File Raw Data: reduce Raw Data load dialogue height by moving
to a 2-column layout.
- SVG import: it is now possible to break aspect ratio with
specific width/height arguments, when calling the PDB
procedure non-interactively (from other plug-ins).
- Print: when run through a portal print dialog, the "Image
Settings" will be exposed as a secondary dialog, outputted
after the portal dialog, instead of a tab on the main print
dialog (because it is not possible to tweak the print dialog
when it is created by a portal). This will bring back usable
workflow of printing with GIMP when run in a sandbox (e.g.
Flatpak or Snap).
- Recompose: fixed for YCbCr decomposed images.
- Fixed vulnerabilities: ZDI-CAN-27684, ZDI-CAN-27863,
ZDI-CAN-27878, ZDI-CAN-27836, ZDI-CAN-27823, ZDI-CAN-27793.
- C Source and HTML export can now be run non-interactively too
(e.g. from other plug-ins).
- Map Object: fix missing spin boxes.
- Small Tiles: fix display lag.
- drop patches included in release:

FF files. (CVE-2025-10924, bsc#1250499)
Version: 2.10.12-bp152.1.5
* Sat Jun 15 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 2.10.12:
+ Core:
- Add an "Incremental" option to the Dodge/Burn tool, which,
similarly to the Paintbrush, Pencil, and Eraser tools,
applies the effect incrementally as the pointer moves.
- Curves now have a concept of smooth vs corner points: smooth
points produce a smooth curve, while corner points produce a
sharp curve (previously, all points were smooth).
- Search the user font directory path on Windows (since Windows
10, non-admin users have the ability to install fonts). This
is only a temporary hack until fontconfig adds proper
upstream support.
- In gimp_brush_core_get_paint_buffer(), when allocating a new
paint buffer, clear the old buffer *before* allocating the
new one, to reduce the amount of simultaneously allocated
memory.
- In GimpPaintbrush, avoid refilling the paint buffer at each
dab if the paint color/pixmap hasn't changed, hence allowing
faster painting in some specific cases.
- Add hygon cpu detection and enable MMX/SSE support.
- Add a GimpSymmetry::get_transform() virtual function and a
corresponding gimp_symmetry_get_transform() function which
return the brush transform corresponding to a given symmetry
stroke in terms of the rotation angle and reflection flag (in
contrast to gimp_symmetry_get_operation() which returns the
same transforation in terms of a GeglNode). This allows us to
simplify, fix (artifact bugs, etc.), and improve the
painting-code performance for several symmetry painting
cases.
- New gimp-brush-pipe-spacing parasite set by core code to
preserve GIH brush's spacing across reloads.
- Add a new Offset filter tool, as a front-end to gimp:offset.
The tool replaces, and provides the same interface as the
drawable-offset dialog while also providing live preview and
on-canvas interaction.
+ Plug-ins:
- Exported profile and data format strategy updated in several
file plug-ins.
- When not saving a profile, we always export as sRGB data, as
most viewers would not display the image properly otherwise.
- When saving a profile:
. If a profile was manually assigned, we always export to the
assigned format, hence pixel data is converted accordingly,
whatever the work format.
- If no profile was assigned:
. If the export format support high-bit depth, we export the
work format as-is.
. If the export format is 8-bit max, we convert the work
format to sRGB, except if the work format is 8-bit linear.
+ The following plug-ins were updated: JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP.
+ Tools:
- Add input/output spin-buttons to the Curves tool, which allow
setting the selected point's coordinates numerically. When
the image precision is greater than 8-bpc, use a 0.00-100.00
range for the point-coordinate spin-buttons instead of a
0-255 range.
- In the Curves tool, allow changing the curve's point types
(cf. new curve corner points in Core section). Corner points
are displayed with a diamond shape instead of a circle.
- Free Select tool now creates a selection as soon as the
polygon is closed. This selection is updated when the
polygon, or the relevant tool-options, change, similarly to
GimpRectangleSelectTool.
- Derive GimpEraser from GimpPaintbrush, instead of directly
from GimpBrushCore. This allows GimpEraser to reuse the
paint-buffer content across dabs, improving performance.
- Allow moving an intersecting pair of guides with the Move tool.
+ User interface:
- In GimpCurveView, when dragging an existing curve point,
don't immediately move the point to the cursor position upon
button press, but rather move it relative to its current
position as the cursor moves. This allows selecting a point
without moving it, and adjusting its position more easily.
- When the cursor hovers above a point in GimpCurveView, or
when dragging a point, have the coordinate indicator show the
point's position, rather than the cursor's.
- In GimpCurveView, when holding down Ctrl while
adding/dragging a point, snap the y-coordinate to the
original curve (at the start of the drag). This is
particularly useful for adding points along the curve.
- In GimpDashboard, don't show legend for groups with no meter.
- Add a tile-alloc-total variable to the dashboard's memory and
misc groups, showing the total amount of memory used by the
tile allocator.
- Add a "Save Keyboard Shortcuts Now" button to the Configure
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
+ Updated translations.
* Sun May 05 2019 ecsos@opensuse.org
- No more need pkgconfig(glib-2.0) >= 2.56.0 for build.
pkgconfig(glib-2.0) >= 2.54.2 is enough.
* Sun Apr 07 2019 Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to version 2.10.10:
- Core:
- Add gimp-scratch allocator, a fast memory allocator (on the
order of magnitude of alloca()), suitable for small (up to a
few megabytes), short-lived (usually, bound to the current
stack-frame) allocations. Unlike alloca(), gimp-scratch
doesn't use the stack, and is therefore safer, and will also
serve bigger requests, by falling-back to malloc().
- In gimp_drawable_transform_buffer_affine(), avoid modifying
the clipping mode when transforming layer masks, since this
function is used (among other things) to transform layer
masks together with their layer, in which case they should
use the same clipping mode as the layer. This fixes a
regression introduced by commit 2ae823ba, causing layer masks
to be transformed with a mismatched clipping mode during
layer transforms, leading to discrepencies between the
transformed layer and the transformed mask.
- Moved swap/cache and temporary files out the GIMP user config
dir and added new config file substitutions ${gimp_cache_dir}
and ${gimp_temp_dir}.
- Pass the GEGL tile-cache size, swap path, and thread-count to
plug-ins as part of their config, and have libgimp set the
plug-in's GeglConfig accordingly upon initialization.
- Layer groups are now rendered in bigger chunks rather than
tile-by-tile (which used to pretty much eliminate
multithreading for groups), which improves the rendering
speed.
- Make saving/exporting files more robust to errors. In
particular if an error occurs during the process (be it a
bug, a memory error, or anything else), GIMP won't overwrite
anymore any existing file with incomplete contents, so that
you won't end up with no valid files at all.
- Fix a regression on support of various graphics tablet.
- Remove the "Edit -> Fade..." feature: it makes GIMP use two
buffers instead of one (east into system resources), it's
broken in 2.10, and we can make the UX better for filters.
- New generic canvas modifier 'Alt + middle click' allowing to
pick layers by clicking on pixels. The available layers will
be looped through (starting from the upper one) while Alt key
is hold and the picked layer name will be temporarily
displayed in the status bar.
- When clearing a channel, do nothing if the channel is already
empty; otherwise, align the cleared rectangle to the channel
buffer's tile grid, so that all affected tiles are dropped,
rather than zeroed. Furthermore, only update the affected
region of the channel.
- Brush and pattern saving logics has been moved to core code
(instead of plug-in).
- Clipboard brushes and pattern can now be duplicated.
- Parametric brushes are now 32-bit float to avoid
posterization on large brushes. Note: raster brushes are
still 8-bit and plug-ins only have access to 8-bit versions
of high-precision brushes/patterns. New API will be required
to handle high-precision data.
- On-canvas preview while editing a color in the colormap of an
indexed image.
- User interface:
- Enabled HiDPI/Retina support for the GTK2/OSX build, fixes
blurry icons.
- Add a tooltip to the "better compression" checkbox in save
dialog to make it clearer it does not mean that the file size
is necessarily smaller in every cases. In particular some
best/worst case are possible when an algorithm less efficient
in general may end up better on a particular image.
- Add basic support for cursors with a scale factor of 2 for
HiDPI (artwork to be updated).
- Foreground and background color icons, as well as color
history will now display out-of-gamut warning on indexed
images for colors outside of the palette, as well as on
grayscale images, for non-gray colors.
- Pack color picker and hexadecimal entry on same line in Color
dock.
- Add an "Open as Image" button to the brushes dialog.
- Usability:
- Attempting to transform locked layers or paint on them now
results in blinking around the status bar (where the warning
message is displayed) and around the toolbar where lock
toggles are. The same applies to attempting to move a
selection where there is none ? GIMP will blink around the
toolbar where the moving target (layer, selection, path) is
chosen.
- GIMP now allows selecting default export file type for new
projects. The choice is limited to PNG, JPEG, WebP, PSD,
ORA, TIFF, BMP.
- GimpSpinScale widget now has an optional feature to constrain
the value to integer when dragging with a pointer (even if
the scale allows for fractional numbers), set with new
function gimp_spin_scale_set_constrain_drag(). This is
useful for settings where fractional numbers are technically
possible, yet most common use case are with integers (such as
pixel sizes, angles in degrees, etc.) so you want the easy
interface to be constrained. Fractional numbers are still
settable, for instance by keyboard edit; and arrow
incrementation won't drop fraction parts. This is currently
only activated for brush options in paint tools.
- Tools:
- In scale tool, scale around center even when using numeric
input.
- New algorithm in the Bucket Fill tool when selecting the
affected area "Fill by line art detection", based off the
G'Mic algorithm for "smart colorization":
https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01891876 In a few words,
it identifies painted pixels (either based on grayscale or
opacity values) and tries to close line arts to allow filling
even with not perfectly closed zones; the second step of the
algorithm will flood the colors under line art pixels to
prevent "holes" in the filling. It is possible to control a
max size (in pixels) for the flooding, as well as max length
of closing segments and splines.
- The Bucket Fill tool got new interaction allowing to hold the
click and move the mouse to fill based on several seed zones
(for "Fill by line art detection" as well as "Fill similar
colors"). You can now cancel the fill in progress with right
click as in other tools.
- The Bucket Fill tool now allows color picking with
ctrl-click, same as every painting tool. It will pick either
the foreground or background color depending on the selected
Fill Type. The ctrl-alt modifier combination is also possible
to pick the non-Fill Type color.
- In the Bucket Fill tool, the Alt modifier will now switch to
"FG color fill" when "Pattern fill" was set (instead of doing
nothing).
- In the Unified Transform tool, default to preserving aspect
ratio when scaling up or down.
- In the Healing tool, "Sample merged" now also work for the
target pixels, allowing to draw in empty layers.
- Selection by color is now parallelized, hence improving speed
of the Select by Color tool (and any other processing which
may share this piece of code now or in the future).
- Add "Constrain handles" and "Around center" options to the
perspective-transform tool's GUI, which are similar to the
corresponding options of the unified-transform tool.
- Improve color picking on indexed image to always select an
indexed color corresponding to the picked pixel in the
colormap.
- Plug-ins:
- file-pdf-save GUI now clearly indicates the order the layers
will be used to make multi-page PDFs.
- Add DDS loading/exporting plug-in originally developed by
Shawn Kirst and Arne Reuter.
- Rename the Guillotine plug-in to Slice Using Guides.
- Add a new option saving a color profile when exporting PNG,
JPEG, TIFF. Always save it when exporting to PSD.
- Remove the "Advanced" expanders from the PNG and TIFF export
dialogs.
- Full rewrite of the Spyrogimp plug-in with much more options
and better interaction.
- Indexed TIFF with alpha channel now supported.
- Filters:
- Add on-canvas GUI (simple lines) for circular, linear, and
zoom motion blur.
- Help:
- Link to the bugtracker directly from the Help menu, also link
to the wiki and the roadmap. Remove the link to currently
disabled registry.gimp.org.

- Czech, Danish, French, Italian, Japanese, Marathi, Polish,
Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian.

* Fri Nov 09 2018 sean@suspend.net
- Update to vesion 2.10.8:
+Core:
- Use adaptive chunk size in GimpProjectio nwhen rendering the
projection asynchronously, rather than using a fixed chunk size.
This provides a better trade-off between throughput and
responsiveness dynamically, based on how fast the processing is.
+Tools:
- In all selection tools, show error on attempt to
subtract-from/intersect-with empty selection.
- Fix text along path not working with vertical text.
- Fix Text tool's frame position when undoing a move operation.
- Streamline Text tool's drawing blocking/unblocking logic.
- When moving a text layer using the text tool (through alt-drag),
don't change the layer's box mode to "fixed", which is unnecessary,
since the layer's size isn't affected.
- Transform and deformation operations now maintain color for fully
transparent pixels, making unerase and curves manipulation of alpha
channel more reliable.
- All transform tools now apply changes when you asve or export/overwrite
an image without pressing Enter first to confirm changes.
- Heal, Dodge/Burn, Smudge and Convovle tools now adjust the processed
buffer and mask_buffer regions according to the changes made to the
application region, as calculated by intersecting it with the
drawable and mask extents. This fixes wrong application position
when painting on a drawable whose origin is above/to the left of the
image's origin, and there's a selection active.
+Plug-ins:
- Port all plug-ins to the new iterator API in GEGL.
- Improve automatic detection of HEIC/HEIF files.
- Improve RawTherapee discovery by looking up registry key (should
become useful with RawTherapee 5.5 and more).
+Usability:
- Compatibility information in the Save dialog is now more understandable.
The minimum GIMP version for the XCD file is always written down when it
is GIMP 2.8 or over. The list of features warranting the minimum version
is now listed in an expander container rather than as tooltip, which
makes it more discoverable. The warning on compression is now displayed
as its own text under the checkbox and not as additional text to the minimum GIMP version label.
+CLI:
- New self-explanatory --enable-win32-debug-console CLI option
+Translations:

- Update to version 2.10.6:
+ Core:
- Render drawable previews asynchronously.
- Merge the file view filter and file format lists in
GimpFileDialog. The presence of 2 lists was very confusing.
- DLL search priority is now updated before running a plug-in
on Windows, depending on the executable bitness. This gets
rid of one of the last remnant of DLL hell in GIMP, which was
when running 32-bit plug-ins from a 64-bit build of GIMP.
+ Filters:
- New "Little Planet" (gegl:stereographic-projection) filter.
- New "Long Shadow" (gegl:long-shadow) filter.
+ Tools:
- Halt the Measure tool after straightening.
- Add an "orientation" option to the measure tool,
corresponding to the "orientation" property of
GimpToolCompass (i.e., it controls the orientation against
which the angle is measured, when not in 3-point mode.) The
orientation is "auto" by default, so that the angle is always
<= 45 deg. Note that the "orientation" option affects the
tool's "straighten" function, so that the layer is rotated
toward the current orientation.
- Text layers can now represent vertical texts, with 4
variants: left-to-right and right-to-left lines, and forcing
all characters to be upright or following Unicode's vertical
orientation property. See also:
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr50/
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/VerticalOrientation.txt
+ User Interface:
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has an "async" field to the
dashboard's "misc" group, showing the number of async
operations currently in the "running" state.
- New Preferences option to enable/disable layer-group
previews, since these can get quite time-expensive.

- update to 2.10.4 bug fix release
Core:
- Remove gimp_display_shell_draw_background() and all clipping
hacks for drawing the canvas background. This optimizes away
one entire step of drawing of image size, for each expose.
- Font loading does not block startup anymore. Only consequence
is that the Text tool may not be usable immediately if fonts
are not fully loaded yet (and will output an appropriate error
if you do so). All non-text related activities can be performed
right away.
- Change of the URL from bugzilla to gitlab where appropriate.
- New tool option manager to better keep track of user context
and paint options in a consistent manner.
User Interface:
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has a 'Memory' group that
shows memory-usage information: the currently used memory size,
the available physical memory size, and the total physical
memory size. It can also show the tile-cache size, for
comparison against the other memory stats. Note that the
upper-bound of the meter is the physical memory size, so the
memory usage may be over 100% when GIMP uses the swap.
- The Dashboard dockable dialog now has "read" and "written"
fields in the dashboard swap group, which report the total
amount of data read-from/written-to the tile swap, respetively.
Additionally, the swap busy indicator (used as the meter's LED)
has been improved, so that it's active whenever data has been
read-from/written-to the swap during the last sampling
interval, rather than at the point of sampling.
- Fonts can now be tagged. The user interface is the same as for
brushes, patterns etc.
- Some icons fixed: larger spacing between broken chains and
gimp-tool-ellipse-select made symmetrical.
Usability:
- When a plug-in cannot be applied to an image because of
mismatch in image types (e.g. layer has no alpha or image is
greyscale), GIMP now displays a message listing supported image
types for this plug-in.
Tools:
- The Measurement tool now has an "Auto straighten" option
allowing to rotate the active drawable (layer, channel?) so
that the measurement line is used as horizon. As other
transform tools, the feature will work on linked drawables as
well.
- The Smudge tool now paints correctly on images with a color
profile other than the GIMP's built-in one.
Build:
- Installer: set compatibility options to run Python plugins in
HiDPI-aware mode.
- Put back compatibility DLLs for really old plugins.
- Install binary tool `gimp-test-clipboard` on the system to
allow people to help us debug clipboard bugs.
- --enable-bundled-mypaint-brushes renamed
- -enable-relocatable-bundle and also make WMF fonts looked up
on the runtime prefix of GIMP (instead of the build-time path)
when this build option was set.
Plug-ins:
- gimptool-2.0 binary now accepts source files with non-standard
extensions if it can try to guess appropriate language from the
compiler being used. It will also properly quote arguments for
shell usage.
- Run explicitly Python 2 as Python plug-in interpreter to
prevent breakage on systems where Python 3 is the default.
- raw_input()'s argument in Python console is now optional, and
input() support has been added.
File Formats:
- The PSD loader now provides an option to load "merged",
pre-composited version of the images that becomes available
when a PSD file was saved with "Maximize Compatibility" option
enabled in Photoshop. This is useful when loading PSD files
that use features that GIMP doesn't currently support, and
therefore can't render correctly, such as adjustment layers.
When loading the merged image version, we avoid loading certain
additional data from the file, such as channels, paths, and
guides, while still loading metadata. This option is currently
exposed as an additional file type ("Photoshop image
(merged)"), which has to be explicitly selected from the
file-type list when opening the image.
- Embedding GIMP's built-in sRGB color profile to exported files
is now optional. The default choice can be set in the
Preferences dialog.
Translations:
- Updated translations: Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish,
Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Romanian, Russian,
Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian.
* Mon May 21 2018 plinnell@opensuse.org
- update to 2.10.2 bugfix release
- drop gimp-Fix-reference-to-gegl-0.3.patch
+ Core:
- Discard fonts which fail to load and popup an info dialog to allow
people debug their fonts.
- New API to suppress updates in UI until plug-ins are done
introducing changes.
- New API to calculate histograms in separate threads, with possible further
extension to handle similar cases elsewhere in GIMP.
- Tool options are now properly saved and reloaded per-device at
startup.
+ Plug-ins:
- New plug-in for importing and exporting HEIF images.
- Enable visibility of rasterized vector layer from PSD.
- Single-window screenshots in Windows fixed to correctly snap a
window even when it is partly off-screen or covered by another
window or when display scaling is not set to 100%.
+ Filters:
- New Spherize filter to wrap an image around a spherical cap
- New Recursive Transform filter to create Droste effect.
+ Usability:
- Warn users, when alpha-only painting has no effect. E.g. when target
drawable doesn't have an alpha channel, or the alpha channel is locked.
- Make the splash texts dynamic, so they are larger on larger splashes.
- Mention pressing Enter to complete Foreground selection in the status bar.
- Make sure that clicking outside any selection prevents Rectangle Select
and Ellipse Select tools from creating empty selections.
- Improve mouse wheel zooming behavior to keep the same point
centered under the pointer even if the image is completely visible
in the canvas.
- Add "View -> Center Image in Window" (Shift+J) as a quick way to
center the image at any zoom level.
+ Translations:
- Updated translations: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Russian, Spanish,
Swedish, Ukrainian.
- New translation of Windows installer: Chinese (Taiwan)
+ Build:
- Add a --with-bug-report-url configure option allowing packagers to
set the address of their own bug tracker. This address will be the
one opened by the debug dialog for reporting bugs.
- Add a flatpak manifest for the gtk3-port branch.
- Remove the possibility to disable script-fu.
- Add a --with-icc-directory configure option to customize the color
profile directory. By default, it is set to the common path
/usr/share/color/icc.
+ Documentation:
- Updating the description of the XCF format "devel-docs/xcf.txt", for
third-party readers wishing to support GIMP 2.10 XCF files.
- Add documentation skeletons for all enums in libgimpbase/, there is
much room for improvement.

- Update to version 2.10.0:
+ Image processing nearly fully ported to GEGL, allowing high bit
depth processing, multi-threaded and hardware accelerated pixel
processing, and more.
+ Color management is a core feature now, most widgets and
preview areas are color-managed.
+ Many improved tools, and several new and exciting tools, such
as the Warp transform, the Unified transform and the Handle
transform tools.
+ On-canvas preview for all filters ported to GEGL.
+ Improved digital painting with canvas rotation and flipping,
symmetry painting, MyPaint brush support.
+ Support for several new image formats added (OpenEXR, RGBE,
WebP, HGT), as well as improved support for many existing
formats (in particular more robust PSD importing).
+ Metadata viewing and editing for Exif, XMP, IPTC, and DICOM.
+ Basic HiDPI support: automatic or user-selected icon size.
+ New themes for GIMP (Light, Gray, Dark, and System) and new
symbolic icons meant to somewhat dim the environment and shift
the focus towards content (former theme and color icons are
still available in Preferences).
+ And more, better, more, and even more awesome!

- Don't build with webkit1, as it is no longer maintained and has
plenty of security bugs. This disables the GIMP's built-in help
browser; it will use an external browser when configured this way.
This works around a number of security vulnerabilities in Webkit1:
