Hello GIMPers, due to the summer and everyone being busy doing other things not too much did happen in the GIMP CVS tree lately. Nevertheless a couple of changes accumulated over time and I felt that a new developers release was due. So here's GIMP-1.3.8 for you: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.8/ Please consider to use one of the mirrors: http://www.gimp.org/download.html Here's the usual disclaimer: This is a development version that might crash any second, so please save often and don't use it for real work. However we believe that stability and useability improved a lot so you might want to give this version a try. This release depends on the following libraries (or newer versions): glib 2.0.0 pango 1.0.0 (with FT2 support) atk 1.0.0 gtk+ 2.0.0 libart 2.3.8 And here's the list of changes: - Lots of plug-ins cleaned up and improved [Maurits] - More work on the help browser [Sven] - Core code cleanup [Mitch, Sven] - Improved icons [Jimmac] - Fixed permissions of shared memory segments. - Build fixes [Yosh, Sven] - Bug fixes Other contributors: Dave Neary, Zbigniew Chyla, Simon Budig Happy GIMPing, Sven
