Hi, Finally, GIMP 2.7.4 has been released. This is an unstable development version on the way to 2.8, which we hope to release in January. 2.7.4 may, or may not be the last development release before 2.8. Please test it hard to help us find out. For a complete list of changes since 2.7.3 please see the "Changes" section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.7 series at http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.7.html Please note that the whole 2.7.x series of versions is considered unstable and is not recommended for use in production even though it might just work for you. Our intention is to make development versions available for passionate users who can provide useful feedback to help us fix bugs and streamline implementation of some of the new features. The upcoming v2.8 also introduces a huge amount of API deprecations and additions that have the potential to break existing 3rd party scripts and plug-ins. Please file bugs for all plug-ins and scripts that do work in v2.6, but don't work in 2.7.4. A migration guide for developers will be provided when v2.8 is out.
