Verify time to time this directory for updates.

Verify everytime if there ins’t equal or newer version on Getdeb, it will generally be better packaged than mine.

Here is the Changelog:

- color history popup - merge layer down - layer solo - color changer can operate clickless (hold key down, release key to select) - can save flattened transparent PNG - recognize eraser end of the stylus - elliptical dabs are possible now (aspect ratio) - new brushes and background patterns - save/load improved - fixed bugs that caused overwrite without asking - made OpenRaster the default file format - made "save scrap" more consistent (always save to scrap directory) - faster saving and loading (about factor two) - do dithering when converting from 16bit to 8bit (only when saving with transparency) - fixed build problem with some distributions - many other GUI tweaks and bugfixes

Color history is certainly the preview of a future most sophisticated colour palette tool interface. The colour history is accessed by pressing quickly several time the secondary stylus button or the right mouse button. The actual colour four previous colours can be chosen. This help the work-flow with coherent colour palette.

The background interface allow to choose in a pre-existing patterns palette or to choose a plain colour (and add it). For now interface doesn’t allow to add own pattern, need to add them on the backgrounds directory using system tools:

~/.mypaint/backgrounds (thanks to Martin Renold for the advise)

Or more generally for a multiuser system:

/usr/share/mypaint/backgrounds/

Several predefined (64x64) backgrounds
