Hi, new releases in the development series of glib, Pango, Atk and GTK+ have appeared on the FTP servers. I have just committed a bunch of changes for The GIMP so that the HEAD branch compiles against these releases. Actually it now requires these releases to build successfully. In particular you need glib-1.3.8 pango-0.19 atk-0.4 gtk+-1.3.8 You will also need to have libtiff, libpng, freetype2 and pkgconfig installed before installing the packages mentioned above. We will try our best to keep the HEAD branch of The GIMP compatible with these releases for a while (preferably at least until a new version of GTK+ is released). A lot of stuff in The GIMP is broken at the moment (most noteably the Text Tool), but it is nevertheless a good moment to give it a try. We consider doing a 1.3.0 release as soon as some of the outstanding issues are solved, but I do hereby encourage the brave and curious among you to install the packages mentioned above and check gimp HEAD out of CVS. Any feedback and especially any help is very much appreciated. Salut, Sven
