| The Arrival of GIMP 2.4 |
2007-10-24 |
October 24, 2007 Sven Neumann wrote:
Version 2.4 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program is finally out.
Developers, artists and user interface designers from all over the world
worked together to make GIMP more powerful and easier to use than ever.
The changes from version 2.2 are described in the release notes on
http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.4.html
For a more detailed list of changes, please have a look at the NEWS file
at http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS-2.4
If you want to compile GIMP 2.4 yourself, you can grab the tarball from
ftp.gimp.org or one of its mirrors:
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.4/
Binary packages for the various supported platforms are expected to
become available over the next couple of days. The new gimp.org website
will help you to locate the packages for your system:
http://gimp.org/downloads/
Thanks a lot to everyone who helped to improve GIMP.
The roadmap for GIMP 2.6 will be discussed over the next weeks on the
gimp-developer mailing-list. We can only tell you so much now: It is
going to rock and it shouldn't take as long to get it done as it took to
finish GIMP 2.4. If you want to join the effort, your help is much
appreciated.
Happy GIMPing,
Sven

| FoxNews Mentions GIMP as One of Eight Must-Have Apps |
2007-09-22 |
| FoxNews mentions the GIMP on a front-page linked piece. The focus of the article is Linux software, but here we all know how well WinGIMP works on the Windows flavor of your choice. It is nice to see Fox News recognize our software. |

| Liquid (Seam Carving) Image Rescale Plugin |
2007-09-10 |
| The GNOME project's Nicolas Trangez wrote an implementation of a liquid rescale algorithm in Python. This algorithm was in turn implemented as Python GIMP plugin by Carlo Baldassi. The plugin uses Python Imaging Library and SciPy/NumPy. A source archive is available from the GIMP plugin repository. |

John Marshall wrote a replacement plug-in for loading photoshop psd files. The source is attached to bug #448181 in bugzilla. The improvements over the existing version are:
Support for ICC colour profiles.

Load image data from duotone files (toning information not loaded).
Load saved paths.
Load XMP data as XMP parasite (as TIFF load).
Load exif data as parasite (as JPEG load).
Improved layer mask handling (this includes a complete fix for the panotools bug).
Load Unicode alpha-channel names where they exist.
Progress is ongoing. Not yet supported:
CMYK
Multi-channel
Lab color

2007-06-30 |
Robert Strohmeyer of MaximumPC wrote an article, apparently first in a series, about our favorite GIMP. Great to see some more mainstream news sources finally coming around to write about something other than the commercial alternatives.

Althought Inkscape received funding for seven projects, Wilber came up empty handed. Better luck next year?
