Hi all, The next release in the development series of the GIMP, version 1.3.19, is now available for download from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.19/ or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html We think this is good enough for daily use. We are now very close to a 2.0 prerelease, so we particularly appreciate testing efforts. New bugs can be reported to us at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ We at the GIMP would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors for GIMPCon, which completed a couple of weeks ago. Special thanks go to the Free Software Foundation (http://fsf.org), who funded the majority of the costs incurred for the event. Thanks are also due to our other sponsors, O'Reilly and Associates, Germany (http://oreilly.de), MacGimp (http://macgimp.org) and FlamingText (http://ftgimp.com).
