Hi all, The next release in the development series of the GIMP, version 1.3.21, is now available for download from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.21/ or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html This is an extra unstable release before we officially go into pre-release mode, because there are still some outstanding API changes to make for plug-in authors which we would like to set in stone for the 2.x series. This is the most stable development release we have had to date, and there are also a few very nice features which have been added since the last release. So tell your friends, get testing, and keep those bug reports coming in to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Happy GIMPing, Dave.
