- Magic Tool Improvememnts:
- Added "_switchin()" and "_switchout()" functions to Magic tool API, to tell Magic tools when they are selected or deselected, or when their mode changes..
- Added "_modes()" function to Magic tool API, so Magic tool plugins can tell Tux Paint what modes it accepts, 'paint' or 'fullscreen'.
- "_click()" function is now given a 'mode' value, corresponding to the mode the current tool is in.
- "_get_description()" function is now given a 'mode' value, and is called once for each mode a particular tool claims to support. (e.g., "which=0,mode=MODE_PAINT", then "which=1,mode=MODE_PAINT", then "which=1,mode=MODE_FULLSCREEN")
- "Paint" and "Fullscreen" control buttons added to Magic tool selector UI. Can be disabled with "--nomagiccontrols".
- "Negative", "Tint", "Glass Tile", "Darken" and "Lighten" tools can all now affect the entire image.
- System-Related Improvements:
- 'savedir' and 'datadir' paths given in configuration files (e.g., ~/.tuxpaintrc) now have any environment variables and tildes (e.g., "~" for $HOME, or "~username" for 'username's home directory) expanded. NOTE: Environment variable expansion via 'wordexp()' -- currently Linux-only. NOTE: 'printcommand' and 'altprintcommand' options not currently parsed for env. vars.
- On systems that use postscript_print (Linux and other Unix-likes), errors when attempting to issue a print command (e.g., trying to use "lpr", but that command is not available) should appear in Tux Paint. (SourceForge bug #2205528)
- Build System Improvements:
- Adhering to Debian & FreeDesktop.org standards regarding .desktop file.
- Documentation Improvements:
- Corrected location of config files for Mac OS X in OPTIONS docs.
- HTML documentation files for the various Magic tools are now generated using a PHP script. Tool details are stored in a PHP array (which is easier-to-edit than individual HTML files).
- Other Improvements:
- Starter images no longer need to be created with alpha transparency. Any solid white will be removed automatically by Tux Paint.
- White always appears as the first color in the "New" dialog, regardless of its position (or even existence) in the color palette.
- Text tool uses FriBidi to determine when right-to-left characters have been typed (e.g., Hebrew) so that they are drawn in the right direction. (Mixing RtoL and LtoR works (e.g., Hebrew with numerals))
- Updated to the latest version (2.27) of DejaVu Sans Regular for UI font.
- Only loads locale-specific fonts (e.g., Tibetan's "bo.ttf", which is unusable with any language _except_ Tibetan) when Tux Paint is running in that locale. (Use "--alllocalefonts" command-line option or "alllocalefonts=yes" config. file option, to load all of those fonts, regardless of locale setting -- the old behavior.)
- Font scoring system improved, so that fonts that support the current locale (based on special translation strings -- many of which have been submitted or improved) 'bubble up' to the top of the Fonts list when using the Text tool. Pere Pujal i Carabantes

- Bug Fixes
- Was inadvertently calling "magic_switchin()" on Quit. Fixed. Dan Shields
- [Ctrl]+[P] keyboard shortcut for printing was not complying with option to disable printing capability (e.g., "--noprint")! Fixed.
- Preventing Tux Paint from dropping out of Fullscreen mode when pressing either left or right [Windows] keys Note: Works on Windows XP, 2000 and Vista only. (If Tux Paint is deliberately switched to the background, e.g. using [Alt]+[Tab], the [Windows] keys function as normal until Tux Paint is the active application again.) John Popplewell
- Directional brushes used to always begin with middle image; now this only happens if you click and release, with dragging. Jason Ward
- Corrected bug in postscript printing: images scaled up onto a large canvas printed small, compared to when they're printed at the size they were drawn. Pere Pujal i Carabantes
- Corrected 'oval' brush shape so that colors came out right. (Thanks to Andrei Skoogarev)
- Improved support for localized Stamp sound effects (e.g., "en_GB" for British English now works; only "en" would have worked before).
- Fixed minor bug that caused Tux Paint to crash when loading many fonts (i.e., with the 'sysfonts' option). Pere Pujal i Carabantes
- 'tuxpaint-import' script didn't support files with spaces. Fixed. James Le Cuirot
- Fixed display bugs and icon positioning in pop-up dialogs when using right-to-left languages (like Hebrew or Arabic).
