What's new

Planned for this cycle:

• finish the move to gtk-doc and delete all the old manpages
• move IMAGE and maybe REGION over to VipsObject
• start experimenting with VipsOperation

Other ideas:

• 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

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.
