Overview of Changes from GIMP 3.0.2 to GIMP 3.0.4
=================================================
Core:
- Make maximum radius for generated brushes consistent across
codebase.
- Use NDE filter name for undo history.
- Module loading improved to be better cross-platform (in particular
on macOS both .so and .dylib modules are supported).
- Code compliant with GCC 15 (C23).
- Filter size updated when its drawable is rotated.
- Font loading (at startup) optimized.
- Set the proper program name for KDE/Wayland to map the process to
the correct desktop file.
- "windows-display-*" are hidden from the Shortcuts dialog (they are
not meant to be remapped).
- Editing non-destructive effects now triggers undo steps.
- When migrating from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3, shortcuts for actions
"edit-paste-as-new-layer*" are now converted to "edit-paste-merged*"
(and not "edit-paste*" anymore which was confusing and
counter-productive).
Graphical User Interface:
- Highlight selected device in GimpDeviceStatus.
- Various theme leak fixes.
- UX improvement: GimpViewableDialog (e.g. Fill/Stroke path and more)
now has "OK" as default response.
- Icon size settings now also applying to Move and Transform icon
boxes.
- Commit hash is now shown in About dialog in all non-release builds
(i.e. even in stable series, when we are in-between releases).
- Hide Force slider for Pencil Tool (rather than just making it
insensitive).
- Define merged titlebar icon colors.
- Keep menubar color consistent when out of focus.
- We don't show Fx icon for tool-based filters.
- Updated splash without micro version in it.
- Removed size restrictions on Display Filters.
- Don't show hidden tools on toolbox tooltips.
- Fix "Keep above" Window Manager hint.
- Multi-Window mode on Windows: dock windows' title bars now adapt to
the Windows system theme colors too.
- Show palette name in Palette Color Selector.
Tools:
- MyPaint Brush: have consistent options layout compared to other
paint tools.
- Scissors Select Tool: close the curve on Enter, similar to the Path
tool.
- Path Tool: connect path on click in design mode.
Plug-ins:
- Restore GUI to Difference Clouds script. This had been lost since
GIMP 2.8!
- Fixes in various file format support, such as: DDS, SVG, TIFF, PSD,
BMP, ICO…
- Screenshot dropdowns replaced by radio buttons, as part of a new UX
decision that choice settings with 2 or 3 choices should be dropdown
(faster 1-click access), unless there are a lot more settings making
the dialog too crowded already.
PDB:
- Make "gimp-plug-ins-query" public again (yet still not available in
libgimp).
Build:
- Windows Installer:
- Make the installer aware of Install, Reinstall and Update modes.
- Add Repair mode to Windows installer: in particular we can now fix
installations when the previous install directory cannot be
accessed anymore.
- The feature to delete the config folder on Windows uninstall will
now make a backup on the Desktop first (allowing people to delete
it themselves, move it, or even restore it later if needed).
- Uninstalling while GIMP is running is made impossible (among other
issues, it was causing partial uninstallation).
- Downgrading is only possible by uninstalling first.
- Development warning is shown in dev build of stable series too.
- Add fractional scaling support to Installer welcome image.
- Restore points now have a timeout to prevent stuckness.
- Our AppImage won't ship debug symbols anymore. Better debugging can
be set with: export DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net"
- Windows builds:
- Ship babl/GEGL and libgimp headers, static libs and pkg-config
files for plug-in developers.
- Dedicated file icon for XCF files.
- Generate native .pdb CodeView symbols on Windows (smaller debug
data files, usable by MSIX and better debugging ability), except
on x86 (32-bit).
- Crossbuilds are dropped from CI.
- Shell scripts used in the meson build are ported to Python (more
portable and much faster on some platforms, in particular Windows).
- Some build scripts were moved around for reorganization.
- Depency requirement bumped:
- New "Inputs" feature for simpler Gitlab pipelines running.
- Some in-repository documentation was cleaned up.
