MyPaint 2.0.2-alpha

MyPaint is a nimble, distraction-free, and easy tool for digital painters. It supports graphics tablets made by Wacom, and many similar devices. Its brush engine is versatile and configurable, and it provides useful, productive tools. The standard brushes can emulate traditional media like charcoal, pencils, ink, or paint. But you don’t have to limit yourself to just the standard ones. It’s easy to make expressive, artful new brushes that don’t respond like anything conventional. Fullscreen mode declutters the interface, leaving you with just your brush and your creativity. You can still reveal the tools you want, when you need them. This distraction-free approach means you can focus better on the art you make, not the tool you make it with. MyPaint has simplicity, yet it gives you all the tools you need to create great artwork. Many notable artists use MyPaint, including digital illustrator and concept artist David Revoy. You’ll find growing MyPaint user communities on DeviantArt and Tumblr. MyPaint comes from the Linux art world, but it has Mac OS X and Windows ports too. Now anyone can pick up MyPaint and draw to their heart’s content

2.0.2-alpha30 May 2020 07:25 minor feature: HSV/HCY brush dynamics in 2.x mode. Undo/Redo stack size made configurable and more efficient. Undo/Redo stack default size increased to 40. Rounding error when saving files in 2.x mode. Invalid l11n strings. Translated strings added/updated for several languages. Dependency on intltool removed (still required for libmypaint). Variables in l11n strings validated on build (xml tags are not validated yet, however). libmypaint translations are now bound, making them work properly in the appimages. OARS rating added to appdata (relevant for app-distribution software, but not much else). A number of Py3 compatibility were. Svg icons - some were previously considered invalid by librsvg = 2.48. Svg icon sizes reduced across the board. Windows build now uses openmp, which should improve performance on most systems. Size of Windows install bundle significantly reduced. (installed size by 50 , bundle size by 70 for installers). Size of AppImage files reduced by 9MB. AppImages now handle external editing better (no longer overrides the host environment for the launched programs). Typos in documentation (not user-facing typos). Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04. Fedora 30. Manjaro 20. CentOS 7. OpenSUSE Leap 15.1. Debian sid (for the day of the release). Slacko Puppy Linux 6.3.2.
2.0.1-rc.017 May 2020 15:05 minor feature: Linear compositing and spectral blending (pigment). Layer views. Brush strokes dependent on view rotation and view zoom. Additional symmetry modes: vertical, vertical+horizontal, rotational, snowflake. Expanded flood fill functionality: offset, feather, gap detection and more. New brush settings: offsets, gridmap, additional smudge settings, posterize, pigment. New brush inputs: barrel rotation, base radius, zoom level, gridmap x/y, direction 360, attack angle. Full Python3 support (Python2 still supported). Tons of style consistency updates (flake8). Switch to PyGI. New ability to simplify nodes in Inking tool. New ability to delete autosaves from recovery dialog. Improved user messages. Scratchpad no longer scrolls on size changes. Integrated reporting w. template. Use external libmypaint ( = 1.5). Most (possibly all) IO uses context managers. Layer manipulability dependent on visibility. Brush description shown in tooltip in quick choice dialog. AppImage builds added. Move build to setuptools/distutils. New keyboard shortcuts/defaults. New symmetry modes (vertical, vert+horz, rotational, snowflake). Flatpak support added (currently not functional?). Maximum input mapping curve points increased to 64. Curve editor points snaps on 0.5 increments. Input curve reset button clears the graph. New Import Layers feature. Zoom and view-rotation-dependent painting. New decommand: Vacuum Empty Tiles. Progress feedback for loading/saving. New Layer Properties dialog. New separate H/C/Y pickers. Per-document settings. New Layer Views. Layer rendering code reworked. New Remove Layer Backdrop command. New Refactor Layer Group commands. Linear compositing. Spectral mixing (pigment mode). Ability to emulate inputs with modifier keys. Support for barrel rotation input. Floodfill performance improved. Offset, feathering and gap detection added to Floodfill. Source, blend mode and opacity added to Floodfill. Erase / Lock Alpha / Colorize modes respected by Floodfill. Floodfill is no
