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!!

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

  • create better builds for Windows and MacOS X.
    Bugs: 1377974 1384799 1391866 1448282 1449869 1475303 1478305 ...
    Solution:
    • make synfig installation relocatable and more robust
    • come up with a solution for the gtk stuff.
  • fix miscompilation of synfig with g++ 4.1.x and g++ 4.2
    Bugs: 1509627 DEB375080
    Solution:
    • Compile different parts of synfig with g++ 4.1 and see which breaks rendering, then investigate differences between versions

    Bugs: 1497893 DEB369646
    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.
