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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1879688
-
- Fix: Inserting a new item into a list in animation mode caused
- unpredicatable renders before the time of
- insertion.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=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.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1695735
-
- Fix: Initialise the 'time_last_changed' when creating a Node.
- Previously it was being left at a random value.
