Pre-release

Description:

This is a pacman repository of custom built MINGW packages used to build Natron and its plugins. It is built by the "Build pacman repo" GitHub action on this repository.

Note: Everytime you want to use a new version of the package repository, you should completely uninstall the previous one before installing the new one.

Install:

  1. Create a directory for the repository.
    mkdir ~/natron_pacman_repo
  2. Unzip the repo in that directory.
    cd ~/natron_pacman_repo
    wget https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/releases/download/windows-mingw-package-repo/natron_package_repo.zip
    unzip natron_package_repo.zip
  3. Add the repository to /etc/pacman.conf.
    echo -e "#NATRON_REPO_START\n[natron]\nSigLevel = Optional TrustAll\nServer = file://$HOME/natron_pacman_repo/\n#NATRON_REPO_END" >> /etc/pacman.conf
  4. Update the repositories and make the Natron packages available in the local repository cache.
    pacman -Sy
  5. Verify you can see the new Natron packages.
    pacman -Sl natron
  6. Install the top level package that will install everything you need to build Natron and the plugins included in its installer.
    pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-natron-build-deps-qt5

Uninstall:

  1. Remove all the Natron packages and their dependencies.
    pacman -Rs mingw-w64-x86_64-natron-build-deps-qt5 to remove all the Natron packages and their dependencies.
  2. Remove natron repo from /etc/pacman.conf.
    sed -i -e '/^#NATRON_REPO_START/,/^#NATRON_REPO_END/{d}' /etc/pacman.conf
  3. Update the repositories and purge the Natron packages from the local repository cache. pacman -Sy
  4. Delete the repository directory. rm -rf ~/natron_pacman_repo

Natron 2.6-pre builds (with Apple Silicon support)

This is a test snapshot based on Natron 2.6, which uses Qt5.

It has the same bugs as the Qt5 version, see #827

It doesn't have the Qt4-specific mac bug, where no windows could be closed without crashing Natron.

Please test and report in #607 if it is working or not.

  • Does it start yes/no?
  • Can you do basic work with this version yes/no?
  • If you get a crash, please report with the crash details.

There is a weird issue in the SeExpr test on arm64 only, which may be due to a SeExpr 2 bug on arm?

Known Bugs

Known issues

  • Rendering sometimes silently stalls after X frames. #248
  • Some image formats may have issues (PCX, PSB). #602
  • MTS video files are sometimes not read correctly. #186

Changes (compared to 2.4.4)

  • Use Python 3 rather than Python 2 (which is not maintained anymore). This will require very few changes to the Python code (mainly print statements), and most code can be easily adapted to be 2-3 compatible. #686
  • Use QtPy==1.11.2 rather than PySide. QtPy is an abstraction layer for PyQt5/PyQt4/PySide2/PySide (newer versions support PyQt6/PySide6). QtPy uses the Qt5 layout (where the QtGui module has been split into QtGui and QtWidgets). Using QtPy guarantees a higher level of forward-compatibility with future versions of Natron, which may use Qt5 or Qt6. PySide can still be imported explicitly, if required, but the resulting code will not be forward-compatible. Note that 2.4.4 binaries include qtpy, but still import PySide by default. #687
