The branches of the repository

Lloyd Konneker edited this page Jan 23, 2025 · 3 revisions

The "master" branch

The stable version, works with the current stable version of the GIMP app.

As of 2025, that is version GIMP 2.10.x. This branch will be nearly frozen, with little maintenance. Consider using GIMP 3.0 and the "resynthesizer3" branch.

Builds with automake tools.

The "resynthesizer3" branch

The version to work with version 3 of the GIMP app.

Attributes:

- Builds with meson.
- Outer plugins are written in Scheme, i.e. using ScriptFu, courtesy itr-tert.
- No longer depends on Gtk2, since Control Panel plugin now written in Scheme
- Unstable, but working, until GIMP 3 is released and we finish porting plugins.
- The engine plugin in C is essentially unchanged, but that can change.

The "deprecations" branch

The development version. Most people would name it the "dev" branch.

It adds the feature: compatible with the future GIMP version 3. Eventually it will be merged into the "master" branch.

As of early 2021, it is working with GIMP 2.99, with some caveats. As of 2025, this branch is frozen. Instead, use the branch "resynthesizer3", which branched from this.

The "falseColorMatch" branch

For the feature "return the coords of the best match, without inpainting." See the Projects tab of the repository, and other pages of this wiki for more information. This branch is experimental, in development.
