1.201 Thu Aug 24 23:44:43 CEST 2000

        ** LAST VERSION THAT WORKS WITH 1.0 **
        - s/gimp_plugin_domain_add/gimp_plugin_domain_register/
        - really moved sethspin into <Image>/Filters (neo) 
        - moved sethspin back to Filters/Animation (sjb)
        - fixed problem in Net.pm/try_connect (AF_LOCAL vs. PF_UNIX, or
          "sysv rules the world, but sun shines everyhwere".
        - added ... to hopefully all plug-ins that open a dialog.
        - make clean wrongly deleted po/Makefile.
        - po/Makefile.PL left temporary files around.
        - trimmed examples/logulator down by two thirds.
        - installing map_to_gradient again, as it is needed by firetext,
          until fire has been re-written.
        - applied patch by Ar't <artie@kmfms.com> that fixes a lot of
          perl5.004 compatibility issues and even identifies the
          buggy perl version that causes pxgettext to not work!
        - do yet another compile/link flags rotation.
        - replaced find -path by grep 'Cause -path seems to be a gnu extension.

1.2 Thu May 11 18:55:13 CEST 2000

• image types updated to reflect gimp's reality.
• updated perlotine.
• fixed logulator (bugs are actually in the script-fu parts).
• moved gimp_drawable_bounds from Gimp::Util to Gimp.
• applied patch to logulator by <mikem@enet.it>.
• added examples/giflogo.
• do not install examples/gap-vcr.
• added new sethspin, with slight changes.
• do not install "feedback".
• updated examples/xachlego.
• added examples/blended2, examples/translogo.
• removed examples/giflogo.
• applied libintl fix by yasuhiro@awa.tohoku.ac.jp.
• applied save_image/PNG-noextra switch patch by pkaempf@box.echo.ch.
• applied Perl-Server reuseaddress fix by gphan@webjuice.com.
• corrected the libintl fix to really work.
• added fr and ru translations.
• experimental 5.6 thread compatibility improvements.
• corrected menu hiliting problem in firetext and glowing_steel.
• add a call to gimp_plugin_add_domain to Lib.xs.
• fix some of the bugs Raphael "reported" (missing Gtk makde Gimp::UI crash).
• fix pxgettext call in po/update.sh to use the correct "perl".
• fix po/Makefile.PL to not barf on multiply defined "translation" target.
• do not install scripts depending on Gtk.
• do not register menus when Gtk is needed for dialogs.
• updated examples/burst.
• fixed various old-syntax leftovers in Gimp::Util.
• modernized examples/example-fu.
• added examples/dust.
• updated po/Makefile.PL to find the scripts again.
• applied edit_fill change. Boy we need default agruments soon!
• pxgettext exits with success instead of error on version check, so the build doesn't completely die. (Yosh)
• fixed examples/image_tile to use die instead of exit.
• improved croak behaviour.
• new plug-in: clear alpha.
• fix the "manpages installed twice under different names" bug that nobody had noticed.
• do no longer install roundrectsel and map_to_gradient plug-ins, since (almost) equivalent c versions exist. If you need these plug-ins you have to install them manually.
• changed logulator to use an imagetype of "RGBA,GRAYA,INDEXEDA" for all script-fu's.
• added warning when using known-to-be-broken experimental threading feature. Maybe gimp-perl should refuse to build instead?
• added examples/warp-sharp.
• more $(CC) != perl's $(CC) fixes in configure.frag.
• Makefile.PL now uses $bindir to install programs. This is not optimal for standalone installations, but gimp has priority ;)

1.19 Thu Jan 6 00:21:58 CET 2000

• used N_ to mark all the menu paths, since gimp now tries to do the translation.
• patch by Frank Loemker <floemker@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> to fix many missing :auto tags.
• I removed the "old prefix" check that I was almost forced to implement. This was not a good idea, is not a good idea, and completely breaks on many occasions. Just do not do that. If only people would trust me sometimes :(
• enabled gdrawable_id caching again.
• some minor Gimp::UI streamlining & bugfixes.
• more (undocumented) on_xxx hooks.
• got rid of the old & crufty callback system (who uses it anyways?).
• added Gimp::basewidget "pragma" and made Gimp::UI use it. Also sent a bugreport to the Gtk maintainer who will hopefully make a gtk-perl release soon.
• the :auto import tag is no longer the default. neither with nor without warning.
• sdf'ified pod documentation. more to come.
• move perl-intl.h include below the other includes. William Sebok finally came up with a nice problem analysis.
• try to get rid of -Wall, if possible.
• shield more sections against -w dumbness.

• skip t/run when no DISPLAY set.
• modernize parasite-editor to use Gimp::basewidget.
• modified all custom widgets to work with the next Gtk release.
• added examples/gap-vcr

• use XSLoader instead of DynaLoader where available.
• use perl_require_pv instead of perl_eval_pv.
• updated COPYING.GNU to version 2.
• removed .pl suffix from all examples.
• deprecate use of included scripts with gimp-1.0 in configure.in.

1.17 Wed Nov 24 21:25:19 CET 1999

• re-fitted i18n translation for most plug-ins.
• intllibs linking bugfix.
• half-hearted attempt to i18nize logulator.

• removed sethspin.pl & billboard, they are no longer maintained :(
• sigh removed some debugging code.
• new save-filter "dataurl" (more a joke, but it does work).

• updated enums.pl.

1.15 Fri Nov 19 19:12:16 CET 1999

• realclean now also removes the Makefile (just to be sure)
• only install pdl plug-ins when pdl is available.
• gimp_directory is 1.1-only.
• more warnings on people insisting on using broken perls.
• renamed init_gtk to gtk_init, asdded gtk_init_hook function to work around the horrible initialization problems in Gtk.
• goto &name is horribly broken somewhere. going back to eval again.

1.14 Mon Oct 11 03:23:13 CEST 1999

• set the version of all modules explicitly (for the benefit of CPAN).
• added examples/avi (avi load/save plug-in, uncompressed 24 bit).
• possible fix for another installation horror problem.
• fixed a longstanding bug (?): not every class had a DESTROY, so the AUTOLOAD tried to resolve DESTROY after gimp_close had been called.
• did the DESTROY catch differently...
• fixed the testsuite.
• started to revamp the extra argument handling.
• updated PDB Explorer a bit, still broken.
• almost full i18n of gimp-perl. A de translation is available.

• examples/glowing_steel was missing from the MANIFEST!!
• data types for RADIO, SPINNER etc.. are guessed better now.
• added examples/guides_to_selection.
• added examples/burst, without even looking at it ;)

• always leave a dummy dimension of 1 into the pdl, for gray and indexed drawables. down the other road lies madness.
• implemented & added examples/map_to_gradient, needed for my next plug-in ;)

• removed register_magic_load_handler from Lib.xs (is in PDB).
• preliminary <Load> and <Save> support (arguments are automatically supplied).
• enabled limited pixel access functions even when PDL was not found, just enough to re-enable magick and implement miff.
• implemented and added examples/miff (a load/save filter for miff images).
• close DATA in Gimp unconditionally, saves one open filehandle.
• fixed the longstanding preview bug in Gimp::UI by reversing the order of calls to draw_row. => something in gtk+ is really broken.
• fixed a longstanding (but never seen ;) bug in old_pdl: pdls that were not sever'ed created garbage.

• improved gimpdoc & pixelmap.
• removed debugging code from gouge. ouch!
• bug fixed: PDL::Core was not automatically required when not already loaded.

• use much saner defaults for the Scale types in Gimp::Fu.
• Gimp::Fu's optionmenus didn't work in net()-mode.

1.053 Mon Feb 15 01:35:04 CET 1999

• more errornous argument types are detected now, without just calling abort().
• fixed a MAJOR namespace-leak: for example, if one used gimp_parasite_list once, Gimp::Image->parasite_list would call gimp_parasite_list and NOT gimp_image_parasite_list, as would be correct.
• Gimp::Net now works correctly with parasites.
• added examples/parasite_editor

• added view3d.pl to examples (untested)
• Gimp::Util is reborn (give it a try and contribute!)
• more Gtk changes (tested with Gtk-0.5 and gtk-1.1.x, uh-oh)
• faster startup by not loading Gtk by default ;)

1.05 Fri Dec 18 22:05:25 CET 1998

• some 5.006 compatibility fixes
• disabled some functionality for poor gtk-1.0 which is borken to no end
• fixed PARASITE_PERSISTENT typoe
• new functions: gimp_{major,minor,micro}version
• PFBRUSH, PATTERN and GRADIENT widgets are "emulated" in gimp-1.0

1.049 Mon Nov 23 20:54:41 CET 1998

• updated configure to require 1.0.2
• added some more scripts to the dist
• brushes are no longer shown inverted
• help button && logo for Gimp::Fu. the first doesn't work properly and the second is ugly. feel free to send me a better version.
• constants are no longer autoloaded (yeah!)
• bug in Gimp::Net::set_connection fixed as suggested by <alex@mediaconsult.com>

1.048 Fri Nov 13 20:39:52 CET 1998

• Gimp::Fu::save_image now correctly respects the quality setting
• allow layers/channels as drawables in typemap
• allow usage of Gimp::PDL via Gimp::Net (this is a hack!)
• added optional argument to gimp_init
• fixed some of the example scripts for the "mega-api-break-it-allpatch"
• added Gimp::Net::get_connection and set_connection functions
• the Perl-Server now respects GIMP_HOST and opens a socket according to its content.

1.047 Wed Nov 11 02:47:12 CET 1998

• passing arguments on the commandline works again (formerly all arguments were treated as integers)
• added the PDB extension to the distribution (alpha!)
• added tex-to-float and alpha2color.pl plug-ins
• fixed some memory leaks (the remaining ones are in the Gimp ;)

1.046 Thu Nov 5 01:53:34 CET 1998

• the syntax really gets tricky - references to INT32 and similar types are no longer accepted (was buggy anyway).
• added plug_in_ prefix to layer, drawable, image and channel. We can now write $layer->sharpen(50), and gimp infers function name, run_mode and image
• enhanced the testuite, it now checks much more features
• gimp_end() now correctly closes the connection
• implemented Gimp::lock and unlock functions, giving exclusive access to the Perl-Server

1.045 Sun Nov 1 23:40:20 CET 1998

• more configuration cleanups
• fixed Gimp::Fu to respect RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS again
• added more oo-prefixes to channels and layers (see Gimp::OO)
• added preliminary gimp_init/gimp_end functions, see Gimp(3).
• 'require 5.004_04' and added use base declarations
• improved future compatibility
• improved constant inlining
• fixed a serious bug in argument handling when not all arguments were given

1.0441 Sat Oct 24 22:52:05 CEST 1998

• t/run.t does much less when no tests are requested
• cleaned up Gimp::UI learned much about Gtk (but still not much)
• an occurence of PARAM_PARASITE wasn't wrapped into an #if-clause. this is just one of the countless braindead bugs being found by schinder@pobox.com and the cpan-testers! Thanks!

1.044 Sat Oct 24 03:54:47 CEST 1998

• allow PF_PATTERN etc. to be usable as commandline arguments
• added parasite support -> untested so far
• Gimp::Fu wasn't calling Gtk->init anymore
• Gimp/Lib.xs wasn't including config.h, and nobody ever noticed ;)
• we no longer link against ui-libraries, unless necessary.
• added <5.005 warning
• many, many configuration changes and hacks
• this is now part of the gimp cvs tree
• changed LIBS by LDLOADLIBS... hacky, but works
• Gimp::Fu will no longer be traced
• a run_mode argument at the beginning can now generally be left out
• re-enabled the testsuite

1.0431 Thu Oct 8 20:01:32 CEST 1998

1.043 Thu Oct 8 07:27:23 CEST 1998

• allow <None> as menupath
• added HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL
• implemented PF_BRUSH, PF_PATTERN and PF_GRADIENT
• examples/example-fu.pl shows all possible dialog widgets
• fixed Gimp::Fu::xlfd_size to correctly return the pointsize (rather than pointsize*10)
• added FG_IMAGE_FILL (and fixed the values of the other FILL constants, which were documented incorrectly)
• please note that you can upload your perl-scripts to the Gimp-registry now(!!!!). Visit http://registry.gimp.org/ and deposit your script ;)

1.042 Mon Oct 5 00:50:04 CEST 1998

• implemented PF_ADJUSTMENT to aid scm2perl's job, its undocumented and should not be used by new code.
• fixed a coredump problem when tracing.
• removed debugging code I accidently left in. Yuck Yuck!
• an array size parameter in argument lists is now accepted and silently ignored. This is for script-fu compatibility.
• better error handling (I'm on the right track!)
• added scm2perl (scheme to perl) to the distribution. Look at "perldoc scm2perl". Needs Parse::RecDescent from CPAN.

1.041 Sat Oct 3 21:58:09 CEST 1998

• a 5.004 compatibility fix. Another one and I'll simply "require 5.005".
• Gimp::Fu doesn't display image and drawable widgets in commandline mode unless the script really is an <Image>-type script.
• Gimp::Net now passes colour values correctly (and also undefs, which makes it slower but perl doesn't warn anymore. argh.)
• constants now have empty prototypes (so "RGB_IMAGE ? ... : ..." parses as question operator rather than pattern match.
• Gimp::Fu/Cancel button works in commandline mode

1.04 Thu Oct 1 22:42:57 CEST 1998

• don't disallow drawable arguments as layer parameters.
• fixed error reporting again (it should work now but still compile with older perls ;)
• implemented PF_FONT, see also Gimp::Fu::xlfd_size
• implemented PF_SPINNER
• another "Attempt to free unreferenced scalar" warning fixed

1.035 Wed Sep 30 23:58:02 CEST 1998

• Gimp::ignore_functions can be used to ignore AUTOLOADING of some functions. This is mainly for the benefit of interface modules.
• Gimp::Net/spawn will ignore gimp_progress_init and other, similar gui dependent functions.
• changed lookup order again to ease overwriting functions.
• fixed the bug with not using the perl version of some functions (like gimp_list_images)

1.034 Wed Sep 16 21:21:42 CEST 1998

• various bugfixes in Gimp::Fu
• added slider type to Gimp::Fu (PF_SLIDER), see webify.pl for a demo.

1.033 Tue Sep 15 17:53:50 CEST 1998

• added mailing list info to the README
• compatibility fix for 5.004

1.032 Mon Sep 14 02:29:55 CEST 1998

• Gimp::Fu now has (some) support for return values. I told you to return undef ;)
• fixed memory problem in Gimp::Lib when param array was empty.
• removed bogus plug_in_ name prefix form the examples
• don't install border.pl by default, gimp is just too buggy ;)
• webify.pl now doesn't cut the layer away if the selection is empty.
• added FG/BG buttons to fetch colours to Gimp::Fu (try Filters/Misc/Webify)
• disabled intensive tests (batch mode now requires script-fu... bleeech)

1.031 Sun Sep 13 21:50:51 CEST 1998

• non-OO syntax works again (silly me) (and is no longer deprecated, but the default!)
• Gimp::function syntax officially does not work anymore. Use Gimp->function syntax now (or use :auto)
• made compatible with the newest gimp snapshit. wrote lamentation to gimp-developers. commited suicide.
• added examples/webify.pl
• first try to implement return values in Gimp. Gimp::Fu still lacks support.

1.03 Wed Sep 9 21:04:54 CEST 1998

• all files are now readable/exec'able by group owner
• updated some examples to the new syntax
• small documentation changes (still waaay to go..)
• Gimp::Fu now allows any string as colour specifier.
• the Perl-Server doesn't eat the string "Gimp" as first argument anymore, but still gimp_some_function("Gimp") is indistinguishable from Gimp->gimp_some_function().
• not use'ing Gimp from interface modules makes everything so much easier..
• fixed make clean
• added more tests, including starting and testing The Gimp itself
• passwords can now be used for the Perl-Server (and tcp is open by default)

1.02 Wed Sep 2 23:35:37 CEST 1998

• added Gimp::Patterns
• Gimp::Fu now doesn't gratitiously share LAST_VALS with other Gimp::Fu-plugins anymore ;)
• reworked AUTOLOAD again, no it even seems to work.
• fixed Fu::interact

1.01 Tue Sep 1 23:18:25 CEST 1998

• PARAM_IMAGEs (et al.) can now be passed into an INT32ARRAY (shudder)
• arrays as return value now work. if a single array is being returned, return it flat, else return it as reference (this does not include colours, though)
• INT8 values will now be returned UNSIGNED (!)
• totally reworked autoloading, I hope its cleaner that way:
  • Gimp is now a class like any other (Gimp::Layer, Palette)
  • flat calling syntax is now deprecated ("gimp_image_new"), OO-syntax should be used ("new Image" or "Gimp->image_new"), which allows better compatibility.

1.005 Mon Aug 24 23:09:17 CEST 1998
1.004 (internal release for debian)

• requires Gtk-0.3 now... since this version finally works, I can code again:
• added "Defaults" button to Gimp::Fu
• prototypes enabled for pixel/region/pdl functions
• various bugfixes to PDL functions

1.003 Sat Aug 15 21:06:41 CEST 1998

• gimp-1.1 removes some functions, so don't prototype them.
• a drawable first argument substitues for an image, i.e. you can omit the first IMAGE
• error reporting is now much better and reports the correct source position, I hope ;)

1.002 Mon Jul 27 12:44:46 CEST 1998

• Patch by Dov Grobgeld (default values for arguments, bugfixes)
• gimp_displays_flush called always after a Fu-script

1.001 Sat Jul 25 04:01:55 CEST 1998

• another fix by Aaron Sherman

1.0 Thu Jul 23 23:35:13 CEST 1998

• prefix wrongly defaulted to /usr/local
• other configuration changes
• fixed(?) mod. of read-only variable...

0.996 Wed Jul 22 14:39:23 CEST 1998

• greatly reduced code bloat, almost all functions can be traced now, at expense of speed and possible libgimp-bashing ;-<
• some plug-ins are installed by default now
• if this surives the test, it will be 1.0. really.

0.995 Tue Jul 21 20:08:32 CEST 1998

• do not depend on origargc and origargv anymore, as these do not exist in perl5.004_76 (due to a bug, but the new solution is better)
• this is the release 1.0 candidate

0.994 Tue Jul 21 04:57:28 CEST 1998

• check wether DIVIDE_MODE is available
• commented out gimp_channel_get_show_masked and gimp_channel_set_show_masked, since they are implemented in gimp-1.0
• implemented strings as colour specifiers, i.e. gimp_palette_set_foreground "slategrey" see Gimp::set_rgb_db

0.993 Tue Jul 21 04:38:01 CEST 1998

• incorporated Dov's patch to enable --output (man Gimp::Fu, save_image)

0.992 Thu Jul 16 17:10:46 CEST 1998

• added more constants (see DIVIDE_MODE, gimp_color_balance)
• Perl-Server now clears the trace result from the last command, in case the command doesn't set it.

0.991 Thu Jul 15 19:00:50 CEST 1998

• gimp_set/get_data now uses gimp_data_get_size when available (the test will fail with some cpp's, though ...)

0.99 Tue Jul 7 03:23:07 CEST 1998

• --info switch deleted from Fu
• implemented --interact switch, default is now NOT to interact when any script-arguments are given.
• switched to using vi, instead of joe, for editing
• killed configure, a Makefile.PL is now used (which calls configure ;-)
• got rid of the top-level configure, now use the Makefile.PL
• implemented RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS in Fu, with hopefully useful semantics. \0\0 is currently illegal in arguments, otherwise I had required Data::Dumper or Storable

0.98 (not correctly issued)

• 0.98 was wrongly issued to CPAN.

0.97 Tue Jun 30 19:36:23 CEST 1998

• bugfixes, changes for gimp-1.1

• Gimp::Fu now supports some of the switches

0.95 Fri May 29 13:47:48 CEST 1998

• thanks mr. libgimpui developer for this braindamaged "use static structures" attitude. I reimplemented the libgimpui in perl. not that it got worse...

0.94 Wed May 27 04:19:24 CEST 1998

• PixelRgn and Tile manpages merged.
• Gtk-0.2.2 required
• Lib.xs (and only Lib.xs!) now compiles & links against gtk-config --whatever, since we need widget support.

0.93 Tue May 26 03:09:59 CEST 1998

• documentation updates.
• bugfixes.
• added windy.pl plug-in.

0.92 Sat May 23 23:46:33 CEST 1998

• Gimp::ColorSelectButton is no longer installed, Gtk-0.2.2 is required.
• commandline parameters supported
• gimp_image_get_layers, gimp_image_get_cmap, gimp_image_get_channels commented out, use pdb functions instead

• tracing works in Perl-Server (Oleg Bartunov)
• fixes for Gtk-0.2.1
• Gtk::ColorSelectButton renamed to Gimp::ColorSelectButton until Gtk is fixed.

• help option for Gimp::Fu
• added a whole bunch of --with-*= switches
• well.... still more bugfixes!

• fixed "script-fu-whatever-garbage"->(arguments...)
• renamed Net-Server to Perl-Server (why?)
• more (untested) configuration changes. Does it work at all now?
• removed Gimp::Util (it was not convincing)
• even more fixes
• Gimp::Fu! including some documentation ;)
• added Gtk/ColorSelectButton.pm

0.87 Mon Apr 27 15:38:23 CEST 1998

• mainly a bugfix release, none of the new features work yet!
• started to code Gimp::Fu for simple dialogs.
• added more autoflush for old perls sigh
• autoconf'd. not good, but its a start
• AUTOLOAD is no longer exported, instead, @ISA is used

0.86 Thu Apr 2 19:59:06 CEST 1998

• missing __STDC__VERSION__ only gives a warning now
• got rid of alloca
• added gimp_set_data & gimp_get_data
• new module Gimp::Data

0.85 Fri Mar 27 17:43:35 CET 1998

• compatibility autoflush added in Net-Server, better upgrade to 5.004_04
• better signal handling in Net-Server... why does libgimp need SIGPIPE?
• add -lglib to the libraries for Lib.xs, to cater for yet more broken systems

0.84 Fri Mar 13 21:23:07 CET 1998

• calling "new Object" now actually works the second time.

0.83 Tue Feb 24 17:29:34 CET 1998

• use strict always everywhere.
• more errors fixed (by compiling under solaris ;), thanks to dov@Orbotech.Co.IL for pointing it out!
• change to support gnuc, c9x, and old (none) varargs macro syntax could be done much easier, but I like the correct approach

0.82 Mon Feb 16 12:20:42 CET 1998

• array types implemented... the gimp pdb wasn't thoughtfully designed, or better: not too thoughtfully.
• network protocl changed (dunno why, not necessarily better.. also I was infected by versionitis (but Data::Dumper has the same problem ;)))
• floats are now displayed as such ;)

0.81 Sun Feb 15 20:57:53 CET 1998

• tracing now works for networked scripts.
• tcp supported in the server & client, but not enabled by default.
• simplified Gimp::OO.pm
• IO-syntax now support, i.e. new Image(..), which is still a hacky namespace game

0.80 Fri Feb 13 17:15:48 CET 1998

• version 1.0 is the first one generally usable.. we're getting close!
• Gimp::Net and Gimp::Lib are only internal modules, there is not much of a distinction between networked modules and modules using libgimp!
• Gimp::OO usable over the network.

0.07 Thu Feb 12 06:51:56 CET 1998

• some bugfixes, and the addition of Gimp::Net and an accompanying server. See example-net.pl for a demo.

0.06 Wed Feb 11 02:42:24 CET 1998

• the first user sent an example script ;)
• PARAM_STRING's are now correctly displayed in traces
• start of Gimp::Util, not very convincing
• pseudo-oo interface, see Gimp::OO

0.05 Sat Feb 7 23:31:08 CET 1998

• added set_trace and trace capabilities. helps to track down bugs in pdb calls

0.04 Sat Feb 7 21:43:56 CET 1998

• gimp_channel_set_color uses a d_color argument, like everybody else
• libgimp functions will be used instead of pdb calls wherever possible. libgimp functions using different calling conventions than equivalent pdb functions (gimp_layer_copy, etc..) are NOT exported.

0.03 Sat Feb 7 06:15:09 CET 1998

• even more usable. although only pdb calls are implemented, most gimp functions are available. dealing with tiles directly in perl is probably too slow anyway (ha-ha ;)
• the example plugin does slightly more now.

0.02 Sat Feb 7 04:18:17 CET 1998

• first working version

0.01 Fri Feb 6 17:51:56 CET 1998

• original version; created by h2xs 1.18
