[Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 1.3.11

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

to bring this year to a happy end, here's another development release
of The GIMP:

  ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.11/

The gimprc file format changed with this release. Although the changes
are small, we don't provide backward compatibility with the old
format.  If you installed earlier versions of the 1.3 series, you are
advised to remove the /.gimp-1.3 directory and perform a fresh user
installation.  The system-wide gimprc in ${prefix}/etc/gimp/1.3/
documents the new file format.  The gimprc man-page has not yet been
updated.


Here's the list of changes for this release:
