Documentation is now maintained in a separate source repository,
'tuxpaint-docs', which allows for easier and more consisten
translation of the documentation. Pulling in initial version of
these docs, which contain a variety of minor updates (and also a
few which had previously only been available as plain TXT are now
available as HTML).
Pulling in the English stuff.
Tux Paint's export features will fail if the parent
of the export directory didn't exist. e.g., using the
default (either via XDG or hard-coded fallback) of
"~/Pictures/TuxPaint/", Tux Paint could not export if
"~/Pictures/" didn't exist yet. It will now try to
mkdir it as well. h/t Tim Dickson
Updated OPTIONS documents to explain this.
Also, documenting --exportdir in manpage (was missing!)
Suitable for simple 'pixel art'. Draws 8x8 pixel rectangles on
a grid across the canvas.
Sound effect created via a small Atari BASIC program sampled in
the open source 'Atari800' emulator (emulating the POKEY sound
chip), and trimmed in Audacity.
* Add linked table of contents
* <cite> some terms
* <code> some paths
* Replace with CSS
* Brushes no longer limited to max 40x40 pixels in size
* Mac OS X is now macOS
* Other misc improvements
Adding control buttons to the Shapes tool, allowing for shapes
to be drawn from the center (as before) or from a corner
(more like other paint packages). The controls do nothing
at this time, but are visible and can be clicked. This is a
work in progress.
The controls may be removed using a configuration option.
See "RELEASE.txt" for the invocation. Mended a few things prior
to final run of `tidy`, based on HTML Tidy's output.
Updated any affected TXT files via Makefile.
From "Open" dialog, select an image (single click, or use
arrow keys / etc., to highlight the image), then select the
"Export" button at the lower right.
The image will be saved in the export directory. By default
this will be based on the config found via the XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable, which is scanned for a "XDG_PICTURES_DIR"
setting. If none is found, "Pictures" in the directory specified
by the HOME env. var. will be used. In both cases, a new
"TuxPaint" subdirectory will be created, and exports will be placed
there.
The export location may be overridden using the "--exportdir"
command-line option or "exportdir" config file option
(e.g., "--exportdir /path/to/dir" or "exportdir=/path/to/dir",
respectively). In this case, the directory is assumed to preexist,
and no "TuxPaint" subdirectory will be made.
There's currently no way to disable the export feature altogether.
If there's demand, we can add it as a simplification option.
Finally, this feature simply copies the PNG file (but no extra
data files) from Tux Paint's "saved" directory to the export dir.

Using XDG's user dir settings to determine where pictures are
stored for a user (e.g., "~/Pictures" -- used as a fallback).
May be overridden using "--exportdir".
Also, while I was updating some docs, replace references to
"Mac OS X" with "macOS", the new name of that OS these days.
TOYAMA Shin-ichi noticed that when building for Win32 under mingw/msys,
an #include of "librsvg-cairo.h" was also necessary.
He also bumped the version # in win32/resources.rc
(and I put his credit in there).
I updated docs/RELEASE.txt to mention that .rc file also needing
updated when preparing a new release.
Ability to disable stereo panning effect (e.g., paint brush, UI
elements sound effect feedback, etc.), useful for users with
hearing impairment in one ear, or situations where one speaker or
headphone is being used. Use "--nostereo" command-line option
or "nostereo=yes" config. file option.
Replace the somewhat-recently-added "nothing" item in the tool bar
with the "Fill" tool, which has been converted back from a Magic tool
to a regular tool.
Also, change bash "==" to sh "=" in "if [ ... ]" tests in Makefile.
Also, link to math library (via "-lm") to make sure "max()" is available to
magic tools.
Also, add missing mention of "--newcolorslast" and "--newcolorsfirst" to manpage.
Respond to a SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2 signal by configuring itself
for autosave, saving a new file, or overwriting the current,
respectively, and sending itself a SIGTERM (which _generally_
causes Tux Paint to quit, depending on where you are in the UI).
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/188/
New option to place color palette items at the end of the "New"
dialog, rather than at the beginning. Useful for when users
would want to pick from a set of Starters and/or Templates,
e.g., in a school or museum environment.
Available via command-line option "--newcolorslast", and
config file setting "newcolorslast=yes". (And anti-option to
override config file settings, "--newcolorsfirst" and "...=no",
which represents the original behavior, which continues to be
the default).
Suggested by Bernard Verhaeghe.
Bumping to 0.9.24; going to add a new feature momentarily.
Improved usage output (e.g., that of "tuxpaint --help"); broke
the options into groups that match the tabs in Tux Paint Config.,
added some missing options.
Documenting Mark Kim's recent changes:
* Less CPU-hungry progress bar (during Stamp loading)
* Verbose debugging options
* (Also, mentioned debugging _at all_, in INSTALL.txt)
Bumping version to 0.9.23a, to match the test build he's working
on for macOS.
