JimpCon

Jun 16 2004

One thing I wasn’t able to report due to my blog being broken was the cool weekend I had with the GIMP guys. Sven, Mitch & Simon came over for a bit of barbecue GIMP hacking action.

It was great fun and we managed to get quite some stuff done. We now have nice RGBA tool cursors (if your gtk was compiled against xcursor headers, which our xd-unstable gtk2 apparently hasn’t). Also stay tuned for faster gradients.

Also in HEAD, Philip Lafleur started implementing live previews for the transform tools. It’s pretty snappy as is, with some hard edges of course. Great to see this stuff happening though.
