ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.6.0

Finally we have done it and released version 2.6.0 of the GNU Image
Manipulation Program. The changes from version 2.4 are best described in
the release notes on

http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html

If you want to compile GIMP 2.6 yourself, you can grab the tarball from
ftp.gimp.org or one of its mirrors:

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.6/

Please note that there was a glitch in the 2.6.0 tarball on the FTP
server that was corrected after a few hours. If in doubt, you can use
the following information to check that you have the fixed tarball:

filename: gimp-2.6.0.tar.bz2
size: 15897821 bytes
MD5 sum: e5ac955fee8b376d431e4693027d7640

Binary packages for the various supported platforms are expected to
become available over the next couple of days. The new gimp.org website
will help you to locate the packages for your system:

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped to improve GIMP.

GIMP 2.6.1 is a bug-fix release in the stable GIMP 2.6 series. The
source can be downloaded from ftp.gimp.org or one of the mirrors listed
at http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors

Binary packages for the various supported platforms should become
available soon; please check the Downloads section on www.gimp.org.
Rumours are that the 2.6.1 installer for Windows will include a version
of GTK+ that has the utility window hint implemented, keeping the GIMP
toolbox and docks above the image window and out of the taskbar.
