If I understand correctly... You don't want to apply patch with serious functionality, because stable release is coming and there is no time for that. At the same time I noticed incorrect behaviour of UI (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643155) which happeneded month ago, and which will affect anyone who uses color picker in curves with different WM than the one which was tested by default. Am I right that stable Gimp release will contain this regression, because there will be no time to fix it? (this is just an example, because I found this bug, but I suspect there are more noticed by other people) So... patch with new funtionality will not be commited to trunk, but patch which broken basic functionality was commited month ago. I know nothing about politics and fights between Gimp developers, I just want to understand the development process (I use Gimp almost everyday, so it's very important to me). I am also willing to donate my free time to this project (as a developer), but reading this forum (complexity of development process, not fights) holds me back. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
