synfig releases
+ 0.61.08 (SVN 1???) - February ??, 2008 - Bug fixes
+
+ * Synfig is now translatable using gettext. 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 <c1>, <c2>, etc. Now we use more readable names
+ <point>, <width>, 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.
+
