Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.28 to GIMP 2.10.30
=====================================================
Core:
- Do not follow subpixel font rendering choice from system settings
for text layer rendering. These systems are useful for GUI
rendering on a screen of a specific type and pixel order. Yet when
rendering an image which can be zoomed in or out, showed on various
screens or even printed, subpixel font rendering doesn't make sense.
- Rewrite the core selection drawing logics so that it works on macOS
Big Sur and over. This is a backport (adapted to GTK+2) of the fix
brought in GIMP 2.99.8 for Wayland and macOS.
- Ignore MakerNote metadata tag at export and only store the tags that
go in it, hence avoiding partial invalid metadata.
- Color picking from Colors dockable can now use the Freedesktop
portal.
- On Windows, move from GetICMProfile() to WcsGetDefaultColorProfile()
because the former is broken in Windows 11.
Plug-ins:
- metadata-viewer: improve how XMP tags with multiple values are
handled and shown (now each value on a separate line for better
readability).
- metadata-editor:
* XMP array tags of type BAG and SEQ are now on separate lines.
* Comparing XMP tags with equivalent IPTC tags with multiple values,
each value is compared individually, instead of comparing the list
as a whole.
- Many robustness improvements and other fixes to the metadata
plug-ins.
- AVIF: prefer AOM encoder for export.
- PSD:
* Skip sanity check for mask of rendered layers as some layer mask
have invalid dimensions in such cases. They will now be loaded
correctly.
* Fixed loading of CMYK PSD files without alpha.
* Fixed loading of CMYK images without layers.
* Fixed loading of merged image of a 16 bit per channel RGBA PSD
file with the alpha channel opaque.
- PBM: large file export now always works and does not depend anymore
on the platform's long int size.
- Screenshot:
* GNOME shell implementation dropped because the D-Bus API has been
restricted to core components for security reasons, thus our
plug-in was failing.
* KDE portal moved as last fallback after the X implementation
(when running on X) and Freedesktop portal, because KDE is also
starting to block API calls for security reasons.
Installer:
- Extension .avif now associated to GIMP.
- Drop codepage conversion, use UTF-8 for language files.
Build:
- macOS support officially bumped to macOS 10.12 (Sierra). We would
usually try to avoid doing this within a stable release but the
conditions (lack of contributors) is such that it is hard to avoid.
