By Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org> * Icons for some new Magic Tools (Color and White, Fisheye, Mosaic, Picasso, Silhouette, TV and Wavelet) Donelle Cory <8bitonion@gmail.com> http://www.8bitonion.com/portfolio * Magic Tool Improvememnts: -------------------------- * Added "_switchin()" and "_switchout()" functions to Magic tool API, to tell Magic tools when they are selected or deselected, or when their mode changes.. * Added "_modes()" function to Magic tool API, so Magic tool plugins can tell Tux Paint what modes it accepts, 'paint' or 'fullscreen'. * "_click()" function is now given a 'mode' value, corresponding to the mode the current tool is in. * "_get_description()" function is now given a 'mode' value, and is called once for each mode a particular tool claims to support. (e.g., "which=0,mode=MODE_PAINT", then "which=1,mode=MODE_PAINT", then "which=1,mode=MODE_FULLSCREEN") * "Paint" and "Fullscreen" control buttons added to Magic tool selector UI. Can be disabled with "--nomagiccontrols". * "Negative", "Tint", "Glass Tile", "Darken" and "Lighten" tools can all now affect the entire image. * System-Related Improvements: ---------------------------- * 'savedir' and 'datadir' paths given in configuration files (e.g., ~/.tuxpaintrc) now have any environment variables and tildes (e.g., "~" for $HOME, or "~username" for 'username's home directory) expanded. NOTE: Environment variable expansion via 'wordexp()' -- currently Linux-only. NOTE: 'printcommand' and 'altprintcommand' options not currently parsed for env. vars. * On systems that use postscript_print (Linux and other Unix-likes), errors when attempting to issue a print command (e.g., trying to use "lpr", but that command is not available) should appear in Tux Paint. (SourceForge bug #2205528) * Build System Improvements: -------------------------- * Adhering to Debian & FreeDesktop.org standards regarding .desktop file. * Documentation Improvements: --------------------------- * Corrected location of config files for Mac OS X in OPTIONS docs. * HTML documentation files for the various Magic tools are now generated using a PHP script. Tool details are stored in a PHP array (which is easier-to-edit than individual HTML files). * Other Improvements: ------------------- * Starter images no longer need to be created with alpha transparency. Any solid white will be removed automatically by Tux Paint. * White always appears as the first color in the "New" dialog, regardless of its position (or even existence) in the color palette. * Text tool uses FriBidi to determine when right-to-left characters have been typed (e.g., Hebrew) so that they are drawn in the right direction. (Mixing RtoL and LtoR works (e.g., Hebrew with numerals)) * Updated to the latest version (2.27) of DejaVu Sans Regular for UI font. * Only loads locale-specific fonts (e.g., Tibetan's "bo.ttf", which is unusable with any language _except_ Tibetan) when Tux Paint is running in that locale. (Use "--alllocalefonts" command-line option or "alllocalefonts=yes" config. file option, to load all of those fonts, regardless of locale setting -- the old behavior.) * Font scoring system improved, so that fonts that support the current locale (based on special translation strings -- many of which have been submitted or improved) 'bubble up' to the top of the Fonts list when using the Text tool.

Fixed. Dan Shields <d4ndeveloper@gmail.com> * [Ctrl]+[P] keyboard shortcut for printing was not complying with option to disable printing capability (e.g., "--noprint")! Fixed. * Preventing Tux Paint from dropping out of Fullscreen mode when pressing either left or right [Windows] keys Note: Works on Windows XP, 2000 and Vista only. (If Tux Paint is deliberately switched to the background, e.g. using [Alt]+[Tab], the [Windows] keys function as normal until Tux Paint is the active application again.) John Popplewell <john@johnnypops.demon.co.uk> * Directional brushes used to always begin with middle image; now this only happens if you click and release, with dragging. Jason Ward <nyad55@gmail.com> Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org> * Corrected bug in postscript printing: images scaled up onto a large canvas printed small, compared to when they're printed at the size they were drawn. Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org> Thomas Kalka <thomas.kalka@googlemail.com> * Corrected 'oval' brush shape so that colors came out right. (Thanks to Andrei Skoogarev) * Improved support for localized Stamp sound effects (e.g., "en_GB" for British English now works; only "en" would have worked before). * Fixed minor bug that caused Tux Paint to crash when loading many fonts (i.e., with the 'sysfonts' option). Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org> and Albert Cahalan <albert@users.sf.net> * 'tuxpaint-import' script didn't support files with spaces. Fixed. James Le Cuirot <jerseychewi@users.sourceforge.net> * Fixed display bugs and icon positioning in pop-up dialogs when using right-to-left languages (like Hebrew or Arabic).
