MyPaint

Hello everyone. I’m really happy to announce the first proper pre-release of MyPaint 1.2.0 for those brave early-bird testers out there. You can download it from https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/releases/tag/v1.2.0-beta.0. Windows and Ubuntu ... [More] binaries are available, all signed, and the traditional signed canonical source tarball is there too for good measure. Sorry about the size of the Windows […] [Less]

I’m hoping that MyPaint will be able to support Windows fully starting with the first v1.2.0-beta release. This is made possible by the efforts of our own Windows porters and testers, and the dedicated folks who keep MSYS2 working so well. Releases will start happening shortly (date TBA) on Github, and you’ll be able to […]

MyPaint badly needs your language skills to make the 1.2.0 release a reality. Please help us out by translating the program into your language. We literally cannot make v1.2.0 a good release of MyPaint without your help, so to help you out we’ve made it as easy as we can for you to get involved by […]

Quick note to say that MyPaint is now frozen for the upcoming 1.2.0 release. Expect announcements here about dates for specific betas, plus previews and screenshots of new features; however the most current project status can be seen on our Github milestones page.

MyPaint is well on its way to feature and string freeze, but its brush library is stable enough to be translated now. You can help! The developers of WebLate, a really nice online translation tool, have offered us hosting for translations. ...

It’s time to start putting the next release together, folks! I would like to announce a freeze of all translated strings on Sat 11th July 2015, and then begin working on the first beta release properly. New features raised as a Github Pull Request by the end of Sat 4th July stand a chance of […]

Check out our showcase blog on Tumblr, Made with MyPaint! It reblogs all the best new art on Tumblr where our little program was used. Go follow it now! It’s curated by one of our own, and we’d love suggestions for awesome SFW art you’d like to include: just ask via the blog.

The MyPaint wiki will be closed down shortly: our hosting provider will be closing down the server it runs on. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: it encourages us to migrate the content somewhere a little more central, and make hard-nosed decisions about what to keep and what to ignore that we’ve been putting off […]

In just under a week’s time, on Sunday 27th July 2014, I’ll be moving MyPaint’s old Gitorious git repositories over to the new GitHub ones fully, and closing down the old location. For a while now we’ve been maintaining the codelines in parallel to give people some time to switch over and get used to […]

The MyPaint brushlib is now maintained in a separate git repository. Its new home is also on Gitorious, at https://gitorious.org/mypaint/libmypaint/, so it hasn’t moved far! We’ve done this because there are more projects using this code, or wanting ... [More] to use it, than just MyPaint. The MyPaint project now includes brushlib as a git submodule. The practical […] [Less]
