Just a silly question,
I notice that version 1.25

Just was wonder, was there a different is functionality ? or is gimp 2.0.x all of that and more?

The underlying library changed between 1.2 and the 2.0 series

And naturally other capabilities have been included

Ah,

Just a simpletons understanding that 1.2 used gtk 1.2 and this last one uses gtk 2.2

Ah. Not all Gimp users (as this list is called) are as knowledgeable of terminology as the Gimp creators.

Adding to this,
there should be two groups,
novice and expert. I know there allot of people whom would like to harness the full power of Gimp. without any flames.

Uh? Sorry if we appeared to be flaming but we weren't. I was only curious. My apologies if I stepped on anyone's feet.
