gimp-2.10.34

[ken@…]

Creating a separate ticket for this, the reinstated ticket re cairo breakage is for a newer cairo version. We have already updated babl and gegl, but gimp-2.10.32 now fails to configure because current babl installs babl-0.1.pc instead of babl.pc.

I assume 2.10.34 will build ok.

It built ok, but on a system which is not valid for making measurements, and at the moment I'm still in chroot so not tested.

I'll take this and hope to get a round tuit after this week's firefox updates - unless anyone wants this urgently, in which case feel free to take this from me.

No can do - I refuse to pollute my systems with python2, but some users of gimp-2.10 want python2 scripting. I was going to look at moving pygtk to 'optional (required for python2 scripting' but the way the book is organised pygtk is not mentioned (its a dep for the python2 xml module).

The figures I have are a follows: tarall size 30MB, md5sum 0dae3a42d261621d62a336ef2aee052a

Build and install using --without-python 1.6 SBU, space 871 MB (193 MB installed). Make check fails for me,

gimp_display_shell_keyboard_grab: gdk_keyboard_grab failed with status 1 ERROR:test-tools.c:418:crop_tool_can_crop: assertion failed (cropped_w == gimp_image_get_width (image)): (20 == 150) Bail out! ERROR:test-tools.c:418:crop_tool_can_crop: assertion failed (cropped_w == gimp_image_get_width (image)): (20 == 150) FAIL test-tools (exit status: 134)

That run of make -j4 check took 0.3 SBU and added 830MB of files.

Please note that the python-free build seems to work perfectly, and help using firefox works.

Giving back, sorry.

There has been a new version of the gimp-help released with 2.10.34, so I will update the book to that as well.

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.32 to GIMP 2.10.34
=====================================================

Core:

  - Check for updates now works on macOS (backported from 2.99.14).
  - Update help IDs for better integration with the documentation website.
  - Symmetry dockable contents is now shown, yet deactivated, when no images are
    opened, improving discoverability (backported from 2.99.14).
  - DBus fully disabled on macOS (in some case, it could even freeze GIMP
    process when dbus is present yet not responding). Open With feature (e.g.
    from file browsers) still work fine as it uses a different code path on
    macOS. Other features using dbus (opening files or running batch commands
    from a separate GIMP process) won't work, but they probably never did on
    macOS anyway.
  - "Canvas Size" dialog took too much vertical space and now better uses the
    horizontal space by moving the preview and offset fiels to the right side,
    and the "Center" button just below (backported from 2.99.8).
  - Template selector (backported from 2.99.6) in resize dialog.
  - Color scale preferences (0..255/0..100 and LCh/HSV settings in Colors
    selection dialogs) are now remembered across sessions.
  - Eye icon header added to the item tree views to make it more obvious where
    to click for item visibility and links (backported from 2.99.10)
  - Revert color proofing behavior changed in 2.10.32 which resulted in
    inconsistent past workflows.
  - "Lock path strokes" tooltip for the dockable icon was renamed "Lock path".

Plug-ins:

  - DDS: make GUI translatable.
  - file-raw: added high bit depth precision export (partial backport from
    2.99.12).
  - TIFF:
    * Various bug fixes;
    * better check for invalid resolutions on import;
    * do not generated warnings for incorrect RichTIFFIPTC tags produced by
      Adobe products (only output a message to stderr, for not completely
      ignoring these);
    * Loading "reduced" image or not is now an option. We use a heuristic for
      the default value of said option (trying to guess if it's a thumbnail by
      using common usage), but final decision is now up to one knowing the image
      you load (backported from 2.99.14);
    * Default TIFF export format is "normal" TIFF, not BigTIFF (making it
      default was definitely an error in 2.10.32).
  - PSD:
    * Various bug fixes;
    * Useless physical unit conversion removed;
    * Backported improvement (2.99.10) for importing layers with clipping set
      (leading to color bleeding);
    * Backported improvements (2.99.10) for importing clipping layers;
    * Paths are now exported (backported from 2.99.14).
  - WebP: more informative error messages in some cases.
  - Flame: various bug fixes.
  - JPEG-XL:
    * metadata import backported from 2.99.14 - (requires libjxl 0.7.0)
    * Partial backport (2.99.8) of JPEG-XL export; export is always in 8bit
      lossless.
  - HEIF: various bug fixes.
  - Dicom: various bug fixes.
  - help:
    * macOS: https support now working fine for help files (bypassing
      lack of support in GIO for macOS platform).
  - animation-play: fixed on macOS.
  - PDF:
    * Import: new option "Fill transparent areas with white" to fill the
      background in white (ON by default as most office PDF writers seem to rely
      on readers filling the background with white), allowing importing
      transparent PDF files.
    * Export: new option "Fill transparent areas with background color" allowing
      to decide whether to export a PDF with transparent background.
  - TGA:
    * Added a workaround to load wrongful TGA files exported by Krita (which
      they fixed on their side too now, see Krita bug 464484).
  - ICO and CUR:
    * Magics detection for these formats has been removed (now using only using
      filename extension) because it was interfering with the detection of
      certain types of TGA images (which are likely more common than ICO and CUR
      files, and extension for these should be reliable enough).

Libgimpbase:

  - GimpMetadata API (in particular the gimp_metadata_set_from_*() functions)
    are now much less memory-hungry (backported from the main dev branch) when
    using GExiv 0.12.2 or over. With some huge metadata, it could cause long
    freeze or even crashes of plug-ins.

Libgimpwidgets:

  - Color-picking with X11 is now the default when compiled with X11, even if a
    color-picking portal also exists, because it is always right, whereas
    portals return color in display space without the space information itself
    (i.e. without profiles).
  - New dedicated GimpPickButton implementation for Windows (backported from
    2.99.14).

Libgimp:

  - New wrapper functions around GEGL ops, which also map to items in our Color
    menu:
    * gimp_drawable_shadows_highlights()
    * gimp_drawable_extract_component()

Build:

  - Bumping minimum GEGL to version 0.4.38.
  - Bumping minimum libjxl to version 0.7.0.
  - New GIMP_RELEASE macro to tell if code is a release or in-between release
    (different from GIMP_UNSTABLE which was telling if we are in a stable or
    development branch).
  - Our stable CI now uses Debian stable where Python2 is still present.
