Currently only a Spanish - translation exists. - - * Build - ----- - Removed the 'bootstrap' script for building. Use autoreconf - instead. - - Fixed errors and warnings detected by a pre-release version of - g++ 4.3. - - * Layers - ------ - New layer, 'Duplicate'. This is an experimental feature, but - seems to work quite well. It can be used to clone the layers - under it multiple times. ( http://synfig.org/Duplicate_Layer ) - - * PasteCanvas - ----------- - Prevent a "bad_alloc" error in the 'PasteCanvas' layer - caused by the bounding boxes changing when the user - changes parameters while rendering. - - Allow zooming furter in to nested PasteCanvas - layers. (#1809480) - - * Plant Layer - ----------- - New parameter "reverse" in the Plant layer allows - plants to be rendered back-to-front. - - Fix: Use the 'width' of each blinepoint in the plant - layer to affect the velocities. Patch from - genete. (#1831897) - - Add the 'offset' parameter to the Plant layer. - - Don't let 'select all' select the green ducks of a - plant layer. - - Do some sanity checking on Plant layer parameters. - - * Stretch - ------- - Prevent a crash when rendering a 'Stretch' layer with - zero x or y amount. (#1823082) - - Make the 'Stretch' layer's "amount" duck be relative - to the center duck. - - * Text - ---- - Allow multibyte characters in the Text layer. Patch by - Niki W. Waibel. (#1852208) - - First step towards fixing the problem of distorted - 'Text' layers not rendering correctly at tile borders. - - * Misc - ---- - Shade: Make the quality of the 'Shade' layer worse at - quality 10 than it is at quality 9! - - Shape: Rename the 'Position' parameter to 'Offset' for - all the 'Shape' layers. - - Spherize: Fix clipping for tile-based rendering in - Spherize layer. - - Star: New parameter "regular polygon" in the 'Star' - layer allows regular polygons to be drawn. - - Time Loop: New version 0.2 of the 'Time Loop' - layer. It uses the same parameters as the newly added - Time Loop ValueNode. - - Warp: Fix a problem with the 'Warp' layer where some - tiles weren't being rendered. - - * ValueNodes - ---------- - Add new type: 'Cos', to calculate cosines. - ( http://wiki.synfig.com/Convert#Cos ) - - Add new type: 'Duplicate', only used by the Duplicate layer. - ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Duplicate ) - - Add new type: 'From Integer', to convert integers to other - types for linking to. Currently disabled. - ( http://synfig.org/Convert#From_Integer ) - - Add new type: 'Random', to generate pseudo-random values. - ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Random ) - - Add new type: 'Reciprocal', to calculate reciprocals. - ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Reciprocal ) - - Add new type: 'Reverse Tangent', to reverse the direction of - tangents. ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Reverse_Tangent ) - - Add new type: 'Switch', to switch between two alternative - values. ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Switch ) - - Add new type: 'Time Loop', to allow individual parameters to - be time looped, like the Time Loop layer, but for individual - parameters. ( http://synfig.org/Convert#Time_Loop ) - - Add new type: 'aTan2', to calculate inverse tangents. - ( http://synfig.org/Convert#aTan2 ) - - Extended types: 'Add' and 'Subtract' now work with gradients. - - * Targets - ------- - Fix one memory leak and one filehandle leak in target 'png'.. - - Fix the ffmpeg/dv/imagemagick targets/importers on Windows. - - Improved the 'imagemagick' target so it can create a series of - numbered images. - - Fixed the 'mng' and 'yuv420p' targets. - - Security fixes: arbitrary code execution when rendering - specially crafted .sif files. - - Show which output target is used if it has been chosen - automatically, not specified by the user. - - * Blend Methods - ------------- - Don't accept illegal values for 'blend_method'. Use - 'Composite' instead. - - Re-enable the 'alpha brighten' and 'alpha darken' blend - methods. - - Fix the 'straight', 'straight onto' and 'alpha brighten' blend - methods. Even completely transparent pixels in the top layer - should affect the result of these blends. Existing .sif files - which relied on the previously broken behavior should still - render correctly for the most part. - - * Canvases - -------- - Fix a crash that was happening if we had 2 exported canvases - in a .sif file where the 2nd contained a pastecanvas that used - the 1st as its canvas. The canvases are destructed in the - order in which they appear in the .sif file, so by the time - the 2nd is destroyed, the pastecanvas it contains no longer - has a valid canvas parameter. The fix is to clear the canvas - parameter of any pastecanvases using a canvas when the canvas - itself is destroyed. - - Encapsulations containing imported images fail to clone - properly (#1838132) - - * SIF Files - --------- - Refer the user to 'http://synfig.org/Convert#Compatibility' if - we try to load a .sif file that uses a not-yet-implemented - ValueNode type, or that tries using a ValueNode with a type - which it doesn't yet support. - - Changed the .sif file format. 'Composite' and 'Radial - Composite' ValueNodes used to be saved with obscure XML - element names , , etc. Now we use more readable names - , , etc. The old version is still accepted, and - can still be written by selecting the old version from the - "Save As..." dialog. The new format will not be accepted by - previous releases of Synfig. - - New Feature: Allow saving .sif files in formats that can be - read by versions 0.61.07 and older. - - Add information about which valuenode types were added in - which release. Don't save new types in old format files. - - Fix: Prevent a crash when loading a .sif file with 'use=""' in - it. - - Fix: Prevent studio crashing when loading a document that - contains an unknown valuenode type from a newer version of - synfig. Simply refuse to load the document instead. (#1811250) - - * Misc - ---- - Don't render feathering of circles or shapes (ie. outlines, - regions, stars, polygons, etc), or motion blur, blur, or - radial blur layers when the quality is 10. - - New feature: allow importing of lipsynced voice animations - from Papagayo (#1879688) - - Fix: Inserting a new item into a list in animation mode caused - unpredicatable renders before the time of - insertion. (#1841280) - - Fix: The hex color code parser is much more forgiving now. - Previously spaces before or after the color code would cause - it to fail. - - Fix: Don't treat the required values of command line flags as - flags themselves. (#1695735) - - Fix: Initialise the 'time_last_changed' when creating a Node. - Previously it was being left at a random value. +More detailed notes are available on the releases page: + +http://synfig.org/Releases + + 0.61.08 (SVN 1837) - March 3, 2008 - Bug fixes, features + + * Update the website URL to synfig.org instead of synfig.com + * Synfig is now translatable using gettext + * Removed the 'bootstrap' script for building.
