An overview

Geomorph is a height field generator and editor for the Linux operating system.

A height field is a kind of topographic map.  It is a 2D projection of a 3D landscape.

Geomorph generates square images and shows a 3D preview of the resulting landscape.  The resulting 2D image can be processed with a tool like Povray for rendering the landscape.

Version 0.31 (November the 25th, 2005)

   1. Some users with a Nvidia video card and the Nvidia proprietary driver were not able to display the preview at all. Version 0.31 uses the GtkGLExt library instead of GtkGLArea, which solves the problem. Special thanks to Vincent Le Prince for testing this change.

   2. With the "fill bucket":

    * Use of the "subtract" option does not crashes Geomorph anymore.
    * Filling up 10 areas or more (or subtracting them) does not exits Geomorph anymore.

   3. The installation scripts have been corrected. A new Geomorph user can be installed in one of 2 ways: from the uncompressed archive, or at the first launch of Geomorph. The second one was not working because of a typo. Furthermore, the "sed" command was used with a GNU extension which does not work on some systems. It is no more used.

   4. The cloning function ( save a copy as ) now works without errors with a new and unsaved document. Geomorph asks to save it before copying it.

   5. Output of comments in the geomorphrc file are now translated to the current locale. They were written in the UTF-8 format, a concern for French and German users.

we want an ebuild :)
