Fading Memories

Done!

Krita is done! At least, the very first public release of Krita. Almost feature complete -- I had hoped to get the CMYK plugin done, but didn't make it in the end -- and pretty stable. I hope.

Bart even managed to salvage the convolver code -- it turns out I had made a couple of stupid coding mistakes, not even real mistakes in the algorithm.

Of course, coding never stops. David Faure has branched the KOffice svn repository (typed cvs here, fingers can't get used to that new-fangled svn nonsense. Harrumph.), and I'm going to re-enable everything that was disabled from compilation for the 1.4 release.

There's a lot to do: colorspace independence for all basic painter and filter functions. A better gui with hooks to enable things that are not useful with particular colorspaces. Draggable tabs for the dockers. And a host of other features -- from a bird's eye-view panning and zooming docker to a color variations dialog. Digikam integration is a big issue, too. After all, it'd be a complete waste of effort to duplicate all the hard work of Gilles and Renji.

And in the meantime a nasty cold has reduced my brains to gooey mush...
