This is the unstable development branch of GIMP. Here we are working
towards the next stable release, which will be GIMP 2.8.

directly in the Windows menu
- Support selecting and tagging multiple objects in resource lists
- Improve on-canvas text editing and text attribute setting
- Add GimpContainerTreeStore and use it in all GtkTreeStore based views
- Add a new default "automatic" tab style that makes sure dockable tabs
always show as much detail as possible
- Remove the dockable title bar and add the menu arrow button next to the
notebook tabs
- Add an icon for the desaturate tool
- Add 'Rule of fifths' crop guide overlay
- Make Alt+Click on layers not affecting active layer
Core:
- Make all GimpItems lockable so their contents can't be changed
- Make more sense when naming imported layers
- Make group layers work except for layer masks and save them in
the XCF
- Change GimpProjectable::update to GimpProjectable:invalidate
- Make sure we don't mix font backends (and crash) by explicitely
asking for FT/Fontconfig backends
- Move members of GimpObject to a private struct
- gimp_object_get_name() takes a gconstpointer now, remove casts
from all callers
- Let drawables connect to their floating selection's "update" signal
instead of letting the image do this job
- Fix brush rotation artifacts at even 90 degree rotation
- Don't leak shared tile memory on Solaris
- Add a PDB procedure to access a text layer's markup
- Remove legacy cruft from pdbgen and make sure number ranges are correct
- Move all image creation functions to a common file
- Add translation context to all undo descriptions
GEGL:
- Make sure all nodes are added to their resp. graphs
- Use GEGL for layer scaling if use-gegl is TRUE
Plug-ins:
- Updated script-fu's scheme to latest upstream fixes
- Don't store image-specific print settings globally
- Add fundamental OpenRaster (.ora) import and export support
- Add RGB565 support to the csource plug-in
Data:
- Add texture/grunge brushes made by Johannes Engelhardt
Developer documentation:
- Explain GimpContext
- Add SVG graphic with GIMP application core module dependencies
- Add a schedule for 2.8 development
Source and build system:
- Add more code documentation
- Clean up subsystem linking dependencies in app/
- Add unit testing framework in app/tests/ and some basic tests,
including basic UI tests and XCF tests
- Tentatively introduce usage of using Glade + GtkBuilder
- Depend on GLib 2.24.0 and GTK+ 2.20.0
- Add git commit hash in --verbose --version output
- Don't version control gtk-doc.m4, get it from gtkdocize
- Add GimpObject tracking code
- Plug memory leaks
- Lots of bug fixes and cleanup
- Lots of translation updates
Changes in GIMP 2.7.0
=====================
UI:
- Change the Text Tool to perform text editing on-canvas (GSoC 2008)
and add the ability to mix different text styles in the same layer
- Add support for tagging GIMP resources such as brushes and allow
filtering based on these tags (GSoC 2008)
- Separate the activies of saving an image and exporting it, there is
now an 'File->Export...' for example
- Port file plug-ins to new export API which gets rid of many
annoying export dialogs
- Add a simple parser to size entry widgets, images can be scaled
to e.g. "50%" or "2 * 37px + 10in"
- Arrange layer modes into more logical and useful groups
- Added support for rotation of brushes
- Make the Pointer dockable show information about selection position
and size
- Get rid of the Tools dockable and move toolbox configuration to
Preferences
- Allow closing the toolbox without closing the whole application
- Add status bar feedback for keyboard changes to brush paramaters
- Add diagonal guides to the Crop Tool
- New docks are created at the pointer position
- Add support for printing crop marks for images
- Move 'Text along path' from tool options to text context menu
- Change default shortcuts for "Shrink Wrap" and "Fit in Window" to
Ctrl+R and Ctrl+Shift+R respectively since the previous shortcuts
are now used for the save+export feature
- Make Alt+Click on layers in Layers dockable create a selection from
the layer
- Allow to specify written language in the Text Tool
- Support custom mapping curves for input device properties like "Pressure"
- New desktop launcher icon
- Use Ctrl+J and Ctrl+Shift+J for 'Shrink Wrap' and 'Fit Image in
Window' to avoid conflict with Ctrl+Shift+R for 'Show Rulers'
- Add 'Windows→Hide docks' menu item that does what 'Tab' does and also displays
it's state. Make the state persistent across sessions, too.
- Make dock window title separators translatable
-
Plug-ins:

layer mode in GIMP
- Add JPEG2000 load plug-in

- Add 'active_vectors' getsetter to Python 'gimp.Image'
Data:
- Add large variants of round brushes and remove duplicate and
useless brushes

GEGL:
- Port the projection code, the code that composes a single image
from a stack of layers, to GEGL
- Port layer modes to GEGL
- Port the floating selection code to GEGL
- Refactor the layer stack code to prepare for layer groups later
- Prepare better and more intuitive handling of the floating
selection
- Add File->Debug->Show Image Graph that show the GEGL graph of an
image

File->Debug->Benchmark Projection
- When using GEGL for the projection, use CIELCH instead of HSV/HSL
for color based layer modes
Core:
- Make painting strokes Catmull-Rom Spline interpolated
- Add support for arbitrary affine transforms of brushes
- Add support for brush dynamics to depend on tilt
- Add aspect ratio to brush dynamics
- Add infrastructure to soon support vector layers (GSoC 2006)
- Rearrange legacy layer mode code to increase maintainability
- Drop support for the obsolete GnomeVFS file-uri backend
- Allow to dump keyboard shortucts ith File->Debug->Dump Keyboard
Shortcuts
- Prepare data structures for layer groups
- Remove gimprc setting "menu-mnemonics",
"GtkSettings:gtk-enable-mnemonics" shall be used instead
- Remove "transient-docks" gimprc setting, the 'Utility window' hint
and a sane window manager does a better job
