Upscaler 1.4.0 was just released! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale and enhance images, be it your photos, digital art, and more.
This release introduces scaling factors, allowing you to upscale between a factor of 2 and 4. The image loading system has been reworked to decrease overall memory consumption. The preview image now has a drop shadow to better make the image distinguishable. Lastly, it fixes a bug where small window sizes made the preview image disappear.
GNOME’s wiki was officially retired this week. Its functions have already been replaced by other sites and, if you do need information from the old wiki, a static archive of the site is still available at wiki.gnome.org.
The GNOME Foundation Board is looking for input on the future of GUADEC. Please comment on the Discourse thread with your opinions on where GUADEC should be located, and what its focus should be.
That’s all for this week!
See you next week, and be sure to stop by #thisweek:gnome.org with updates on your own projects!
