The problem is not that 2.0 == Gegl was stated 3 years ago, but that everyone (ie: magazines, websites) stated it since these 3 last years. As a Gimp user I am particullary enthusiastic with the changes introduced in the 1.3 branch, but I think in this scope it would make much more harm to call it 2.0 than 1.4, even if it is based on GTK+2. But don't be affraid, whatever your decision will be, ppl here will support you. And ppl are confident in you, and the way you have (will) managed the Gimp since all this time. If you (and the other main gimp developpers) finaly decide to call it 2.0, I think you should really insist, in your press release, on the fact that this realase was so good that you finally decided to call it 2.0 instead of 1.4. And that 2.0 will be 3.0. This would be a really positive and understable way to explain the change. Thanks, -- Dam
