Disclaimer
We are aware that there are lots of features missing in synfig. This software is under development and needs more polishing to become a mature program. Lots of bugs have been killed and now the stability of the program has increased considerably. There are some known issues than occasionally might make you frustrated. Despite this disclaimer there are proofs that the program is completely usable for professional work as demonstrated by some of the works in the Gallery. Please help us to make a better program in any of its aspects (artwork, translation, wiki improvement, tutorials, finding bugs, sending patches, etc.). We will embrace any of your proposals!.

Licence
ETL, synfig and synfigstudio are licensed under the GNU General Public Licence, version 2 or later.
Issues
MacOS X: Taken offline, please see bug 1686495. Patches and volunteers to create new packages are welcome. Until someone volunteers, you can build it yourself or install via fink.
Windows: There are security issues with the dv, imagemagick and ffmpeg targets, please avoid using them to import or render untrusted files.
Windows: Rendering issues may be encountered on Hyperthreaded or multi-core CPUs. Please see the FAQ for workaround details.
Packages
More than one package is available for each platform listed in the Releases section. Read here which packages are required or optional depending on your setup or needs. For some platforms the packages are downloadable and installable from within the package management for that platform. For these, the links only point to an information page rather than the package itself.
Synfig: (Sometime referred to as Synfig Core). This package contains the source code or binary of the command line version of Synfig, which is for rendering existing SIF or SIFZ files. It is also used by Synfig Studio for rendering final artwork.
Synfig Studio: This package contains the source code or binary of the GUI application of Synfig. Synfig Studio is the graphical interface program used to create artwork, SIF/SIFZ files.
ETL: This package contains the Extended Template Library. This library is used when compiling Synfig & Synfig Studio. It is not required at runtime (hence is not distributed for Windows).
gtk: This package contains the runtime binaries for GTK+, a cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Synfig Studio uses these widgets (via GTKmm) to create its GUI interface.
gtkmm: This package contains the runtime binaries for gtkmm, a C++ interface for the GUI library GTK+ (which is written in C). Synfig Studio is written in C++ and uses this library to access GTK+.
