As an open source project, synfig is relatively young. As a result, it has lots of creases that need to be ironed out. The copyright is sorted, the code compiles fine, but there are warts when running the code. To smooth out those warts, we need people do investigate and fix the following. We cannot do everything ourselves, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

synfig 0.61.05

must be fixed

• create better builds for Windows and MacOS X.
  Bugs: 1377974, 1384799, 1391866, 1448282, 1449869, 1475303, 1478305, ...
  Solution:
  • make synfig relocatable
  • come up with a solution for the gtk stuff.
• fix synfigstudio crashes on Linux amd64.
  Bugs: DEB365102
  Solution:
  • Run synfigstudio under a debugger on an amd64 machine and investigate and fix the crashes.
• fix synfig crashes when rendering the synfigstudio images on Linux ppc, m68k, alpha & mipsel.
  Bugs: DEB367048
  Solution:
  • Render the synfigstudio images with synfig running under a debugger. The most common platform here would be Linux on a Mac (not an intel one)
• fix the synfig rendering targets that crash (gif, dv, ffmpeg, imagemagick).
  Bugs: 1346746, 1480722, ...
  Solution:
  • Try to render the buggy targets, investigating crashes using a debugger.

also accepted

• fix make check in etl, synfig, synfigstudio.
• fix the rest of the crashes, freezes and compile errors.
  Bugs: 1356376, 1356449, 1380227, 1383736, 1389954, 1420091, 1425155, ...
  Solution:
  • more debugging
• fix synfigstudio so that the toolbox window is shown on the taskbar/panel when no image is open.
  Bugs: DEB366731
  Solution:
  • change the window manager hint between normal and utility when the number of open images goes from 0 -> 1 and vice versa
• fixes for any of the open bugs.
• embedded source code documentation

Ideas for future releases

• Fix the rest of the crashes
• UI overhaul
• new import/export formats (mng, svg, swf, etc)
• sif format documentation

For more information about future goals, please see the Roadmap page on the wiki. In future, each release will be accompanied with things to do for the next release.
