Hi! I have created an AppImage package for the 2.10.4 release, available here: https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/download/continuous/gimp-release-2.10.4.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage <https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/download/continuous/gimp-release-2.10.4.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage> regards, Andrea > On 04 Jul 2018, at 23:26, Michael Natterer <mitch@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > > We just released GIMP 2.10.4, the second bugfix release in > the stable 2.10 series. > > As announced before, stable GIMP 2.10.x is open for new > features that are not too invasive or change the API, > and we indeed included new stuff this time too. > > For a complete list of changes since 2.10.2 please see the > "Changes" section below. > > There is also a release announcement on www.gimp.org: > > https://www.gimp.org/news/2018/07/04/gimp-2-10-4-released/ > > (at least there will be soon enough) > > Happy GIMPing, > --Mitch > > > Download > ======== > > GIMP 2.10.4 is available from: > > https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.10/ > > and from the mirrors listed at: > > https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/#mirrors > > The sha256 and sha512 checksums of the tarball are: > > ffb0768de14a2631b3d7ed71f283731441a1b48461766c23f0574dce0706f192 gimp- > 2.10.4.tar.bz2 > > 9d0cc8d97b82423687b579907edaab6044f19a8207426edf4f7428de23fa82481112bb0 > a53b06bb7037b68d92336517b1eddef4600519707e7feedb64e5414f7 gimp- > 2.10.4.tar.bz2 > > > Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.2 to GIMP 2.10.4 > =================================================== > > Core: > > - Remove gimp_display_shell_draw_background() and all clipping hacks > for drawing the canvas background.
