If you are still having trouble compiling the GIMP let us know. Drop us
a line describing the problem and, if possible, a solution.

Some of the other changes include:

  * Added gaussian blur effects filter
  * Added transfer modes for brushes (lighten only, darken only, etc.)
  * Improved configure script
  * Added standard Makefiles for people who have trouble using the
    configure script. ("Makefile.std", "app/Makefile.std",
    "plug-ins/Makefile.std", "config.h.std").
  * Changed plug-ins Makefile to reflect new version of zlib (which is
    used by png library). zlib is now referred to as `libz' instead of
    `libgz'.
  * Modified source to provide sunOS 4.1.x compatibility
  * Added "refresh" features to brush selection dialog.
  * Fixed a bug in the brush dialog when there are no brushes.
  * Fixed a selection transparency problem
  * Changed the way black and white colors are found for use in the
    marching ants. (Searches for either black and white or two
    contrasting colors).
  * Fixed a bug with text tool when in pixel size mode.
  * Changed the color select tool to allow either the creation of a
    new color or the modification of the existing
    foreground/background
    color.
  * Fixed a small bug in "gamma.c" that caused it to use only the red
    gamma value. (ph...@BayNetworks.com)
  * Fixed an even smaller bug in "invert.c" that caused it to crash
    when run on an indexed color image.
  * Fixed a bug in "pixelize.c" that caused it to pop up a message
    dialog incorrectly.

The GIMP: the General Image Manipulation Program
------------------------------------------------

The GIMP is designed to provide an intuitive graphical interface to a
variety of image editing operations. Here is a list of the GIMP's
major features:

 Image viewing
 -------------

   *  Supports 8, 15, 16 and 24 bit color.
   *  Ordered and Floyd-Steinberg dithering for 8 bit displays.
   *  View images as rgb color, grayscale or indexed color.
   *  Simultaneously edit multiple images.
   *  Zoom and pan in real-time.
   *  GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and XPM support.

 Image editing
 -------------

   *  Selection tools including rectangle, ellipse, free, fuzzy, bezier
      and intelligent.
   *  Transformation tools including rotate, scale, shear and flip.
   *  Painting tools including bucket, brush, airbrush, clone, convolve,
      blend and text.
   *  Effects filters (such as blur, edge detect).
   *  Channel & color operations (such as add, composite, decompose).
   *  Plug-ins which allow for the easy addition of new file formats and
      new effect filters.
   *  Multiple undo/redo.

Requirements
------------

 *  The operating system must support shared memory.
 *  X11 R5 or R6. (Actually, it may work on R4, but we have not had a
    chance to test it).
 *  The X-server must support the X shared memory extension. (The
    X-server does not actually need to support shared memory so this is
    only a temporary situation until we integrate the configure
    information with the source code).
 *  Motif 1.2 or above.

The GIMP has been tested (and developed) on the following operating
systems: Linux 1.2.13, Solaris 2.4, HPUX 9.05, SGI IRIX.

Currently, the biggest restriction to running the GIMP is the Motif
requirement. We will release a statically linked binary for several
systems soon (including Linux).
