Hi,
The most recent installment from the GIMP production line, version
2.0pre2, is available now for perusal, downloading, evaluation, testing
and use from
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.0/testing/
or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html
Since the last release, nearly 40 known bugs have been killed, and many
other small changes have been made during code reviews.
Given the relatively small number of bugs reported against our past
pre-release, we expect this to be the final pre-release before 2.0, so
we extra-appreciate the time you spend testing and breaking it.
Happy GIMPing,
Dave.
