[Gimp-developer] Tiny-Fu version 1.1.0 has been released!

[Kevin Cozens]

Greetings, all.

Five days ago version 1.1.0 of Tiny-Fu was released for use with the 2.3/CVS 
versions of GIMP. Work on the 1.1 version of Tiny-Fu began just over a year 
ago. Tiny-Fu 1.1 has been stable enough in use with the 2.3/CVS version of 
GIMP for a few months but other projects (Google SoC and the major update to 
my web site) delayed the creation of the release and its announcement.

With the release of version 1.1.0, there are two main versions of Tiny-Fu. The 
1.0 versions are for use with the 2.2 versions of GIMP. The 1.1 versions are 
for use with the 2.2 (and current CVS) versions of GIMP.

Although Tiny-Fu 1.0 versions may work with the 2.3/CVS GIMP when linked with 
a 2.3/CVS version of libgimp I have not tested this combination of Tiny-Fu and 
GIMP and do not plan to support it. If you want to use Tiny-Fu with 2.3/CVS 
versions of GIMP I suggest you stick to using 1.1 versions. You will get the 
additional benefit of some new features and bug fixes compared to the 1.0 
versions.

A tarball of version 1.1.0 of Tiny-Fu is available at:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
All versions of Tiny-Fu up to and including 1.1.0 have been able to co-exist 
with Script-Fu. This has facilitated testing and debugging of Tiny-Fu until 
now. Current plans for the next release will mean that Tiny-Fu and Script-Fu 
can no longer be installed and available at the same time. This change is 
being made in the interest of simplifying the transition to Tiny-Fu from 
Script-Fu.


Highlights of the changes since the 1.0.x release:

- Updated to use version 1.37 of the TinyScheme interpreter.

     * Build requires GIMP version 2.3.10 or higher.

       constants for use in Tiny-Fu

- Numerous changes and bug fixes.

       called GimpProcBrowserDialog. Fixes bug #165009.
