GIMP 2.0 pre1
Hi all,
The first pre-release for the upcoming 2.0 version of the GIMP
is now available for download from
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.0/testing/
or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html
Not everything is in its final state, but we think this is close
to a final 2.0 release. Your feedback will help make the 2.0
release even better, and we particularly appreciate testing
efforts. New bugs can be reported to us at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
Please note that the GIMP 2.0 installs side-by-side with the
GIMP 1.2, so there is no need to uninstall your older GIMP.
Happy GIMPing,
Dave.
