Ca dort un peu sur ce forum on dirait, donc je vais tenter de réveiller du monde avec une annonce en quasi exclu : Il n’y aura pas de GIMP 1.4, le prochain GIMP sera le 2.0… Voila j’en aurait bien fait une news mais le problème… C’est que je m’en fous presque à 99 %
Voila le message en question :
[quote]Lately the course has been changed; it was decided that our journey
will not go past version 1.4 as was avised in the infamous “The Future
of The GIMP” document. Instead the next stop will be 2.0. This doesn’t
mean that we will miss our rendezvous with GEGL, only the coordinates
were changed.
The reason for this change is the fact that although there are some
expectations for GIMP version 2.0 that will not be met, GIMP has
improved a lot over the last three years and is certainly past the
state that was imagined as version 1.4. People got used to refer to
GIMP-1.4 as the next stable version and used to think of GIMP-2.0 as
the all-singing-all-dancing wonder tool that would rule the world hand
in hand with GEGL. This is still our goal but we feel that so much
work has gone into the code base since version 1.2, that the time has
come for a major version number increment. The application core has
been completely restructured and large parts of it have been
rewritten. Along with the port to GTK±2.0, we continued the revamp of
the user interface code that was started after GIMP 1.0 was
released. The current code base gives us lots of room for further
improvements and it should allow a smooth transition to GEGL. But I
don’t want to talk more on details of future development. We will be
discussing this topic on the GIMP Developers Conference that is going
to happen in about two weeks (see
http://developer.gimp.org/gimpcon.html).
The plan is to go into feature freeze during the heat of the camp. We
will then start to make pre-releases for 2.0 in regular intervals
asking a larger audience to test our code. Hopefully we can get enough
testers for all platforms including Mac OS and Win32 to be able to
release version 2.0 with support for as many platforms as possible.[/quote]
