2004.September.28 (0.9.14) * New Features: ------------- * Added support for immutable "starter" images, which are installed globally with Tux Paint, and provide a starting canvas for images. A PNG file with alpha is continuously drawn over whatever changes are made to the current drawing. For example, a black outline of a cartoon character could be made, to simulate a coloring book. (See 'jetplane.png') A second PNG file can be supplied which will be drawn on the normal part of the canvas (where a new picture would normally be all-white), allowing for simulated depth. Drawing and magic tools all mutilate the background, as it's part of the normal canvas. However, when editing a picture based on a 'starter' with a background layer, the eraser will bring back the background image. In a sense, it's like having a photo on the bottom, a clear sheet to draw on in the middle, and a clear sheet with some more photo (which you can't draw on) on top. (See 'reef.png' and 'reef-back.jpg') * Added lockfile support, to prevent Tux Paint from being launched more than once every 30 seconds. (Disable with "--nolockfile" command-line argument.) Thanks to Darci Lindgren for suggestion the feature, and Mark K. Kim for suggesting it be time-based. (Lockfile is "lockfile.dat" in "~/.tuxpaint/" on Linux/Unix, and "userdata\" on Windows.) * Added "--nosave" option (suggested by Adam Moore). * Updated Features: ----------------- * Added some more brushes. Jeremie Zimmermann <txptdv@tofz.org> * Multiple sizes of erasers are present. (Compile-time #defines can be used to determine how many sizes are available, and their minimum and (approx.) maximum sizes.) Note: Erasers are still square. Sorry! * Fixed tinting of low-saturation stamps. Addded 'notintgray' option. Karl Ove Hufthammer <karl@huftis.org> * Made sure shape tool never made a tiny shape. (Should hint users that they should click-and-drag.) * Made some colors more unique, so that they affected stamps better. (e.g., purple and magenta used to look the same when used to tint a stamp) Karl Ove Hufthammer <karl@huftis.org> * Made current image the selected image on Open screen, if applicable. * Now prompts to confirm before printing. * New translations: ----------------- * Afrikaans translation created. Petri Jooste <rkwjpj@puk.ac.za> * Belarusian translation created. Eugene Zelenko <greendeath@mail.ru> * Breton translation created.
