Hi,

we are releasing GIMP 2.8.20 with a number of bug fixes, including the official fix for the weird language choices on macOS (this was already fixed in an update to the most recent 2.8.18 package).

Users on the Microsoft Windows platform will notice a fix to end the crazy oscillating between different input devices, for example a tablet stylus and the mouse.

This is a bugfix release in the stable 2.8 series, no new features were added.

For a complete list of changes since 2.8.18 please see the "Changes" section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing, --Michael

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.18 to GIMP 2.8.20 ===================================================

Core:

- Avoid D-Bus error message when built without D-Bus support - fix OS X min required conditional in gimpimagewindow.c - Saving to existing .xcf.bz and .xcf.gz files didn't truncate them and could lead to unnecessarily large files - Text layer created by gimp-text-fontname doesn't respect border when resized
- Avoid seeking when saving XCF files to prevent corruption with file network shares (fixed since 2014, but not mentioned in NEWS yet)

GUI:

- Flow on Paint Dynamics editor dialog: the 'y' axis is indicating 'Rate' instead 'Flow'
- Vertical ruler shows artifacts if the status bar isn't showing - Tablet stylus misbehaves when crossing the edge of a dock in multi-window-mode
- Disable the new "automatic window tabbing" feature introduced on macOS Sierra
- Improve the visibility of slider handles with dark themes - Make it harder to switch to renaming if selecting already selected items in resource lists

Tools:

- Make toggling to color picker mode of paint tools more robust

Libgimp:

- Call gimp_file_entry_set_filename() with filename encoding

Windows Installer:

- Reduce the memory requirement when running the installer (has already been shipped in a 2.8.18 installer-only update) - Ship an updated libcairo to fix GTK+ UI rendering problems, like missing palette border/bevel and shadows under tab labels

macOS DMG:

- Ship the Tango icon theme with the DMG for a complete set of icons - Fix the way mime data is copied into the bundle - No longer copy Pango modules into the bundle - Prevent a crash caused by drag&drop on OSX by patching the included GTK+
- Ship a patch for gettext to make sure the preferred UI language will be used

Plug-ins:

- Prevent the Python console from closing by the Escape key - Help browser does not launch on OS X - Filter 'Edge Detect/Difference of Gaussians' returns empty image - Only use -xobjective-c for compile commands - mkgen.pl: fix calls to write_file() routine to write to current directory
- When printing, the images are composed onto a white background to prevent printing a black box instead of a transparent image - Fix color vision deficiency display filters to apply gamma correction directly

Does anyone know of a Windows installer for 2.8.20?

Hi,

In Windows 10, These errors occurred after installation of 2.8.20 and starting up GIMP for the first time and subsequent times.

Been using Gimp for past 5 years.

Just reporting the errors for now. Thanks.
