Release tentatively scheduled for Friday 22nd November 2019 As the subtitle suggests we are “penciling in” a release date before the Thanksgiving holiday season in the United States. That is intended to assist our American contributors and ensure the release is not delayed because of winter festivities held around the world.

Instead of providing a weekly reminder of our social media and project links across the web, check out our all-new Contribute page! Another release schedule update Unfortunately we are going to miss our target of releasing in October 2019. We made that estimate before beta testing had started and also when our packaging efforts were still in their very early stages, so this was not unexpected. We know that will be disappointing to hear for many of you reading this, but as with any new free software project setbacks and “blockers” like this are to be expected.

Instead of providing a weekly reminder of our social media and project links across the web, check out our all-new Contribute page! Another release schedule update The target date for Glimpse 0.1 to be “officially” released is some time this month (October 2019). However, you do not need to wait much longer to try the software out for yourself as we now have some beta testing builds for Windows and Linux!

Instead of providing a weekly reminder of our social media and project links across the web, check out our all-new Contribute page! Updated release schedule We have been working hard over the last two weeks, and we aim to provide beta test releases for Windows and Linux before the end of September 2019. With the help of our supporters trying them out when they are made available and reporting bugs they find we can expect to officially release Glimpse 0.

Instead of providing a weekly reminder of our social media and project links across the web, check out our all-new Contribute page! We are still on schedule to release Glimpse 0.1 some time in September 2019. The application is mostly code-complete, so the outstanding work items primarily relate to artwork, packaging and automated builds. Minor patches may also still be applied for code cleanup and documentation. Glimpse project adopts Open Collective After feedback from the community asking us to support more donation methods, we have now setup an account on Open Collective.

It has been a busy couple of weeks! Thank you for bearing with us while we continue to work hard on producing the first Glimpse release. We now expect it to arrive some time in September 2019. Our developers are still puzzling out how to package the built code for different operating systems, and the artwork for the rebrand is not quite ready yet. Despite this, you can expect there to be a code freeze before the end of August 2019 so we can focus our energies on solving both of those problems.

As we approach the end of this project’s first month we would like to thank everyone that has gotten involved, contributed to and supported this project so far. The wider community’s enthusiasm for Glimpse has been amazing to see, and we hope we can keep that energy going through August and produce our first stable release very soon. Let us proceed with the latest updates from week 4! Code changes We changed the name of our current development branch based on the GNU Image Manipulation Project 2.

IRC Channel Deprecated We stated last week that we would be deprecating the #glimpse IRC channel soon. After discussing that with the community we believe the switch to Matrix is now complete, so we can safely proceed with deprecating that communication method. To confirm: we no longer track, administer, support or own the #glimpse channel on Freenode. If you spot anyone abusing the IRC channel we have vacated, please report the incident to Freenode’s own staff moderators.
