Greetings, all.

For those of you who would like to stay on the leading edge of the development of the Script-Fu replacement known as Tiny-Fu you may now do so using GNOME CVS. To retrieve the latest development version of Tiny-Fu from CVS you can use the following commands to get it from the anonymous CVS server:

$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gimp.org:/cvs/gnome' $ cvs login
(there is no password, just hit return) $ cvs -z3 checkout [-r ] gimp-tiny-fu

is there any documentation for developers about Tiny-Fu? Will Tiny-Fu be in Gimp 2.2?

There is no formal documentation for Tiny-Fu at the present time. The current "documentation" consists of the comments I have on the Tiny-Fu web page, the R5RS (the Scheme standards document), the contents of DB Browser in GIMP, and to a lesser extent, the web page on SIOD. A link to the most recent SIOD page can be found on the Tiny-Fu web page.

As for Tiny-Fu and GIMP 2.2, my understanding is that Script-Fu will still be part of GIMP until after 2.2 release. There has been some discussions about possibly making Script-Fu a separate module from the GIMP source tree. It would then be up to packagers to decide if they wanted to continue using Script-Fu with the GIMP or use Tiny-Fu.

just wondering how Tiny-fu is differentr to Script-fu?

There is little if any difference between the two to a person who is only using Tiny-Fu to run Scheme based scripts. The most visible difference between the two is the two extra buttons ("Clear Output" and "Save Output") in the console mode dialog.

Some of the other differences and advantages of Tiny-Fu over Script-Fu can be found on the Tiny-Fu FAQ page.
