   An updated version of PikoPixel, 1.0 BETA9c, is now available at:
http://twilightedge.com/mac/pikopixel/

   1.0 BETA9c has a couple fixes for the GNUstep version (no  
significant Mac changes):
- Fixed occasional crash while resizing a document window[1]
- Fixed window issues on KDE Plasma, MATE, & Xfce desktops[2]

   Packages and/or build scripts are available for: Arch, Debian,  
Fedora, FreeBSD, Gentoo, Raspbian, & Ubuntu.

   Please send questions, comments, or issues to pikopixel (at)  
twilightedge (dot) com.

Cheers,

Josh


[1] If the window was resized to within a few pixels of the canvas  
dimensions, it could get caught in an infinite loop of showing &  
hiding the scrollers. This appears to be PikoPixel-specific rather  
than a GNUstep issue, due to some custom layout changes PP makes to  
scrollviews during a resize.

[2] Maximizing a document window would leave transparent gaps along  
the edges of the maximized window.
