   PikoPixel is a free, open-source (AGPLv3) pixel-art editor for Mac  
OS X & GNUstep. A new version, 1.0 BETA8, is now available.

   New in 1.0 BETA8:
- Line Tool: Added color ramp mode (press Ctrl+Option to draw a  
gradient line)
- Layer blending: Added linear (gamma-correct) blending option
- Bugfixes & tweaks
- GNUstep: Various UI fixes (including better slider responsiveness,  
and workarounds for window issues on KWin & WindowMaker window managers)
