Nov 20, 2016Fixes are in the pipeline for GDK Wintab
I’ve been submitting a lot of patches to GDK recently,trying to get some of our Windows tablet bugs fixed up.The good news is that I think we’re turning the corner onreliability over there.Tilt should be working soon for fancy devices like the Intuos 5,and I’ve fixed a pair of really nasty crashers for non-Wacom devices.There was also a silly regression that causedpressure to be ignored depending onwhether your tablet had an odd ID or an even one(don’t ask, but I’m hoping we’ll be able to closea ton of our own bug reports before long).
Jun 16, 2016Bounty available for Surface Pro 3+4 pressure issues
People wanting to use MyPaint fully on newer versions of the Surface Pro tablet are willing to pay a bounty for an important bug to be fixed. It’s one where our core development team don’t have hardware available for testing, so not much progress has been made yet. It’s up on Bountysource right now, if you’re intersted in getting this one fixed. You can help by backing the campaign, or claim the bounty by fixing the bug!
May 20, 2016libMyPaint now uses autotools
MyPaint’s brush engine, libmypaint, now needs to be built with autotools. This reduces its dependencies on things like Python, which is good for projects like GIMP which build against libmypaint. If you used to build MyPaint from git with special scons flags just to make libmypaint as a dependency for some other project, you don’t need to do that any more!
