标题:GIMP 2.8 及后续开发计划

2011年01月14日 星期五 08:43

著名开源图像编辑器GIMP最近颇受人关注,在开发上它正面临困境,人手严重不足。根据Ohloh的统计,GIMP的活跃开发者为四人,而其中一人过去一年鲜有贡献;新一代非破坏性图像处理核心GEGL项目的活跃开发者为两人。两者合起来,GIMP项目只有5到6名活跃开发者。

1月11日,官网公布了 GIMP 2.8及后续开发计划 ,以澄清流言。开发者称,v2.8稳定版的开发即将完成,他们正在完善功能如层组,改进动态刷,可选的单窗口编辑模式。目前遇到的两大障碍是用户界面的改动不规范,GTK+的绘图板支持有问题。在2.8版完成开发之后,他们将转移到GEGL和GIMP的深度整合上,这项工作将会带来许多重要的新功能。开发者邀请更多人参与开发。

PLANS FOR 2.8 AND BEYOND 2011-01-11

In the face of all sorts of rumours and interpretations about the future of the project there is a call for clarification regarding development of GIMP.

Currently GIMP team is working on finalizing the new stable v2.8 with many improvements such as layer groups, improved brush dynamics, a new unique transformation tool, optional single-window mode and more. There are two big obstacles in our way right now: missing specification on the last change in user interface and broken graphic tablets support in GTK+.

We have already invested a lot of time into UI changes and brush dynamics, we treasure your continuous support for the project and thus we are determined to release v2.8 only when it's working out of box as expected for everybody.

After releasing v2.8 the focus of development will shift to deep integration of GEGL — our new non-destructive image processing core. Results of this work will enable many features considered critical for use of GIMP in professional environment which is part of GIMP's product vision. It's a lot of work, and currently we don't have enough developers to make this change happen very fast. If you want to help us to get there faster, we encourage you to join gimp-developer mailing list  and/or the  IRC channel  to discuss how you could contribute.
