Synfig http://www.synfig.com/ High-Quality 2D Vector Animation Tue, 04 Dec 2007 05:09:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Gtk+ Native MacOS X darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/10/06/gtk-native-macos-x/ Finally some brave soul has taken on the task that so many have abandoned... Gtk+ has now been natively ported to MacOS X! This means that you can expect a native MacOS X version of Synfig Studio at some point soon after I release it.

Speaking of releases, expect Synfig to be released next week by the end of the month*. It may be a little bit of time before the native MacOS X version is ready, but it will happen.

(*) I've changed my moving schedule around so this makes things a bit more uncertain.

While I'm not quite fully settled down here in Menlo Park yet, I am starting to try to get back in sync with my responsibilities outside of work and such—that being my clients and those who are looking forward to Synfig.

]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2005 14:47:29 +0000 Updated Site darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/11/12/updated-site/ As you can tell, I'm working on setting up a decent developer and user website for Synfig. Expect things to be a bit iffy with it over the weekend.

update: Argh, I didn't quite get everything I wanted set up over the weekend (such as the Wiki, and the Subversion repository). I'll see if I can't put all that together over the next few evenings.

]]> Sat, 12 Nov 2005 12:26:30 +0000 Swamped darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/11/18/swamped/ I've been kinda swamped with stuff to get done lately, so Synfig has taken a temporary back-seat for the past week. Hopefully that'll change this weekend. I just wanted to let everyone know that this project is still in the queue.

UPDATE: Argh! This weekend was a bit of a loss as far as Synfig is concerned. I spent the weekend sick and putting together Ikea furniture. I think I'm just going to tar up what I have on Subversion right now, as I believe it should work with GCC 4.0 on linux but I have been unable to test it. (I only have GCC 4.0 on my Macintosh computers) I'll update later today about this.

]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 19:51:25 +0000 Synfig Wiki darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/11/30/synfig-wiki/ I have set up a wiki for Synfig, which you can find at wiki.synfig.com. It's a bit sparse at the moment, but hopefully that'll change soon!

]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2005 12:14:35 +0000 Synfig 0.61.03 darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/12/08/synfig-0-61-03/ Page moved to the wiki: Releases/0.61.03

This time I have confirmed that this version will build with GCC 4 on Debian. I can only assume that if there are issues on other distributions or platforms, that it is not related to GCC 4. Other than that, there isn't too much new in this build. I figured I was sitting on the GCC 4 fix in subversion long enough. Grab it from the download page. Win32 and MacOSX binaries are also available.

]]> Thu, 08 Dec 2005 16:58:31 +0000 A lot of attention darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/12/12/a-lot-of-attention/ Synfig has recently been getting a lot of attention over the past three days—55k+ hits, 6k+ from unique IPs. With all of that attention, I feel that I at least owe everyone an update as to what direction I plan to take things.

]]> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 09:16:49 +0000 Subversion Server Down darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/12/12/subversion-server-down/ Please consider the subversion repository to be down. I'm having some server issues at the moment, and I won't be in a good position to fix it until later this evening.

UPDATE: I'm also taking the wiki down for a bit as well. Everything just had to break at once right when things were getting busy... But that's how it always works, right?

]]> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 15:01:20 +0000 Subversion Server Back Up darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/12/27/subversion-server-back-up/ The subversion server is back up. Sorry it took so long. Read how to use it here. The wiki is still down though at the moment.

]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2005 13:10:18 +0000 Wiki back online darco http://www.synfig.com/2005/12/27/wiki-back-online/ The Synfig Wiki is now back online. Now everyone can help me with writing up documentation for this thing! :D

]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2006 09:57:28 +0000 A bit busy... darco http://www.synfig.com/2006/01/13/a-bit-busy/ I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been very busy lately with work and other things, so some of my personal projects and tasks (Like going through my inbox) are getting a bit neglected. My hope is to sort all of that out over the weekend. I haven't forgotten.

]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 09:50:37 +0000 New developer pabs http://www.synfig.com/2006/01/26/new-developer/ Since darco has been a bit busy as of late, he as given me access to add news postings here, the subversion repository and the SourceForge project for closing bugs and stuff. My role will be to filter, fix and feed bug fixes and patches from the user community into the subversion repository. Since I am a newbie when it comes to animation, your feedback is important for me. I also only use Linux/Windows, so I'll rely on others to test the MacOS builds. I should be able to find OSX build machines though. Jump onto the wiki, irc channel and bug tracker and get contributing!!

For those who don't know me, I've been involved in Synfig since I started packaging it for debian. Mainly I helped work out some compilation and copyright issues.
