What's new

We've just released 7.18, a fancy new version, so for now there's not much different in SVN trunk.

Ideas for the next six months:

• move nip2 plotting away from GtkExtra and towards GOffice
• add operator sections and function argument pattern matching to nip2
• make the Python binding dynamic so it can do plugins as well
• fix Python binding and plugin linking issue
• break nip2's programming language out to a separate package
• add documentation tags to use something like Doxygen

Any more ideas very welcome.

SVN

The development tree is held in SVN on Sourceforge. The VIPS SVN HOWTO has a step-by-step guide to getting access. Anyone can browse the repository.

Building

Now you have the source, you have to build it. For most *nix systems it's just:

cd vips-7.x.x
./bootstrap.sh
./configure ...

Check the output of configure and add packages until it configures cleanly. Then:

make
make install

There are separate HOWTO guides for Build on windows and Build on OS X.
