ChangeLog

MyPaint v1.2.0-beta.1.168 (2015-10-13)

Note: There is no Windows build of this yet. I'm waiting on a couple of upstream showstoppers to be fixed or rebuilt in MSYS2's GTK, which has just turned 3.18.x. These are: upstream GTK bug 756160 "Crash/segfault when dragging tabs (after 2nd/3rd/4th+ drag)", and msys2/MINGW-packages#818 (fixed, but needs rebuild as of the time of writing).

Ubuntu users can find binaries in the usual place when they're built: https://launchpad.net/~achadwick/+archive/ubuntu/mypaint-testing
