by NASA Jeff 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

from what's bewen said it seems like the canvas has some performance issues. I have quite a bit of background in relation to tuning rendering engines for performance. help i used to do 3d animated graphics on a 386 with a few mewg of ram. even sqeuuzed a simple cad package onto as bbc computer with 32k of memory. basically, if i get time i'll take a look at it and tyry to identify what the performance bottle knecks are and how to improve them.

Mario Voigt - about perspective
by Andrew Kurn 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

This is first to say 'thanks' to Mario Voigt for updating the Clonesp extension. I'm busy these days, so I'm not keeping up with what I should be doing for Inks. However, it seems to me that the fact that there are now two developers on this project means that it should go to Gitlab (or a similar). I hardly know anything about Gitlab, so I don't know where to start. If someone would like to give me a pointer or two, I could try to get that going. Or if someone can simply do it for me (and Mario) that would be welcome. Andrew

unless there are any objections
by NASA Jeff 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

I'm going to raise a bug for a developers meeting to discuss animation and a couple of other related topics I have on the backlog. I've already had a chat with a few developers and got some feed back from other interested parties as well as having long discussions with a-l-e from the Scribus team so I can pretty much fill out an agenda, but I'm open to suggestions.
