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

• 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
• fix synfig OOM when rendering the synfigstudio images on non-intel platforms.
  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.

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
• almost anything else
