GIMP 2.0 pre3
Hi all,
The latest pre-release of the upcoming 2.0 GIMP is hot off the
presses and available for download now at
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.0/testing/
or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html
Screenshots of some of the features available in the shiny new
GIMP are at http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots.html
We fixed a bunch of bugs, and we have another bunch to fix, and
we’re sure we haven’t found them all yet. If you find any for us,
please report them to http://bugzilla.gnome.org, against
the GIMP product. We really do appreciate it.
A special mention goes out to the GIMP Animation Package from
Wolfgang Hofer, available here
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.0/gap/testing/
The plug-in has recently had a 2.0 pre-release of its own. This
plug-in is the best thing sinced sliced cheese. Screenshots are
available (in French) at http://gimp-fr.org/html/mongimpfr/gap/gap2.html
Happy GIMPing,
Dave.
