+ <title>gimp</title>
+ <para>
+ <package>gimp</package> has been upgraded to 2.7.4. There are
+ many changes, some very significant. Among the highlights:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <package>gimp</package> 2.7 introduces an optional
+ single-window mode. You can toggle between the default
+ multi-window mode and the new single-window mode through
+ the Single-window mode checkbox in the Windows menu.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <package>gimp</package> now allows dockable dialogs in a
+ dock window to be placed in multiple columns.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The docking bars have been removed and replaced with
+ overlaid highlights. The dockable drag handle has been
+ removed and the dockable menu button has been moved up to
+ the tabs. A new Automatic tab style has been added which
+ makes dockable tabs use the available space.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A rather big conceptual change is that saving and
+ exporting images now are clearly separated
+ activities. Saving an image can only be done in the XCF
+ format which is GIMP's native file format, able to save
+ all kinds of information necessary for works in progress.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ For complex compositions, a flat layer structure is very
+ limiting. GIMP 2.7 lets users organize their compositions
+ better through the introduction of layer groups which
+ allow layers to be organized in tree-like
+ structures. Layer groups are fully scriptable through the
+ GIMP plug-in API.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Text editing with the Text Tool is now performed on-canvas
+ instead of in a separate window.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Enhancements have also been made to the size entry widget,
+ which is used for inputting most of the x, y, width,
+ height parameters. For example, in the scale dialog it is
+ now possible to write '50%' in the Width field to scale
+ the image to 50% of the width. Expressions such as '30in +
+ 40px' and '4 * 5.4in' work, too.
