Roadmap

Language:

English

This page contains a roadmap with defined goals for each release. See Software roadmap for things we want to do with synfig at some point.

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 0.61.06

must be fixed

• Fix the uninstall in the Windows packages, and also make a single download available - 1673269
• Fix the synfigstudio's icon finding and SYNFIG_ROOT stuff - 1568925
• Fix the touchpad/mouse/Input Devices issue; It's initially very off putting when you can't draw even a single circle - 1677510
