Just re-downloaded the file Mattia; like the icon.

I have made the Knotter font of some time ago into a plugin (and added lowercase letters)

I make sure that a new release is visible in:
* sourceforge - The first to be updated as it's there where I upload the binaries
* Freecode - From there you can get an atom feed of the releases. It usually takes a while before the update is visible as it's moderated.
* Knotter website
* Qt-apps
* Softpedia - It may take some time as I can only notify that there's an update, not actually edit the page.
* Launchpad
* CNet - Moderated, may take a while.

Got some errors building Knotter-0.9.4

Fixed. Now compiles fine with Qt 5.

There are a lot of font aficionados here Mattia and you just made there day. lol

Not so much me but I've played with your text font create before and look forward to doing so now that you made it a cool plugin.

Plugins work excellent. :bigthup

Those are great looking dingbats. Next you will be making an actual knotter alphabet!

I might some day, but I barely have enough play-time to work with gimp as it is. I need to learn a lot more about gimp and gmic before I go off on another tangent, lol.

I've compiled a test build for Windows 64 bit.
Can anyone confirm that it works fine?
I've tested it on Wine and it appears to work.

It works great Mattia; thanks a heap. Nice to have a native 64-bit version now.

That was just a test to see if I could make a 64 bit binary. The official release is not yet planned, I'm still working on it.

Maybe in the future I'll set up a CI environment that builds nightlies so you can always have the latest bleeding edge version.

If i knew how to package the installer with QT i would make one for 32 bit.

Hi Mattia.
You will teach us - writing scripts and plug-ins?
Builds nightlies - please!

I think i saw a new plugin named "Plugin Tutorial".
I activated it but it doesn't do anything.

The new version should be out soon anyways, I've already completed all the major planned features for 0.9.4.

Right now 0.9.4 does not have many visible new features as I worked mainly on the plugin facilities.
Does anyone have any request for some simple new feature?

I've already written a tutorial for version 0.9.3. I'm going to revise it for 0.9.4 since it makes creating plugins super-fast. Maybe I'll make a video tutorial as well.

For the nighlies I'll need to set up a proper continuous integration system and connect the heavy-duty computer I use to compile the binaries to the internet. So it will have to wait a significant amount of time.

LOL I copied the wikicode in the plugin sources so it gave syntax error. I've fixed it now.

I've already planned that feature but I have no idea on how to implement it, so it's postponed to the far future right now
