The first release of the development branch of the GIMP is now available for download at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.1/ - please note that this should not be installed in the same prefix as your GIMP 2.0 since there are some conflicts.
Highlights of this release are migration of menus to GtkUIManager, use of the new file chooser, and improved HIG compliance of almost all dialogs.
Other new features are the ability to drag & drop files and URIs to the image window, adding a new layer, and the ability to use shortcuts regardless of which GIMP window is active.
The full NEWS entry follows:
Overview of Changes since 2.0
=============================
GIMP 2.1 includes the following enhancements:
- Major user interface improvements.
* Large parts of the GIMP user interface have been changed to
comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. This is
an ongoing effort and the interface may still be inconsistent in
a few places.
* Users are now allowed to clear the undo history.
* The unit to be used for the rulers and the coordinates display is now
a display property and can be changed in the statusbar of the image
window.
* New widgets and frameworks provided by GTK+ 2.4 are used; this means
+ uses the new GtkFileChooser dialog, vastly improving the file
dialogs.
+ includes port of menus to GtkUIManager, which creates all core
menus from XML files at runtime. This means that menu items can
be rearranged by users simply by editing these files.
+ uses a global accelerator table in all docks and image windows.
This means that a hotkey will do the same thing regardless of
which dock or image window you are using.
+ adds replacement widgets based on GtkComboBox for most uses of
GtkOptionMenu (GimpUnitMenu remains to be ported)
+ adds GimpContainerEntry, a GtkEntry with completion based on
the contents of a GimpContainer.
+ makes the order and visibility of tools in the toolbox configurable
+ allows keeping toolbox and dock windows above other windows (if
the WM supports this hint)
* The toolbox now has an optional preview of the active image.
* The image window now accepts file/uri drops.
- More internal cleanup and refactoring of the core object model.
- The brush rendering code has been separated from the generic paint
tool code. The ink tool is now a paint tool (it can do straight
lines) and the new infrastructure allows to implement new kinds of
paint methods like vector based painting.
- Gradients can now be created, deleted, renamed and edited through
the PDB.
- Some changes to plug-ins.
* Plug-ins can now register the same procedures in multiple places (the
API to register menu entries has been changed in a backward-compatible
fashion).
* Plug-ins can now optionally register a menu icon.
* File plug-ins can now register a mime-type.
* All plug-in dialogs have been reviewed and changed to make them
comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
* All plug-ins that need to access files use the new GtkFileChooser
dialog.
* The obsolete AlienMap and GIcon plug-ins were removed. AlienMap2
does everything than AlienMap did, and the GIMP-specific GIcon format
has not been used by anything for quite some time now.
* A plug-in to load and save windows icon files has been added.
