Hi there,
I imagine this is a fairly common question so forgive me but can't
find anything definate on it. Does anyone know when / if there will
be a new version of GIMP released. Developing a complete course
(vid tutorials etc) for GIMP and don't want it to be obsolete
straight away.
If it is coming, where can I get hold of a copy?
Hi Simon,
there is a new version comming,a nd we hope to release it soon.
Meanwhile, the acheivements made since version 2.2 can be seen in the
2.3 branches.
The GIMP developers just sugest the usage of developemetn versions
(the ones with odd meinor version numbers) for people willing to
testa nd develop new features, as these versions are, sometimes,
quite unstable.
As you are preparign new material, and GIMP 2.4 should be out in a 2
month time frame, you should defintivelly be using it as a
reference - although, be warned that it is not meant to day to day
usage, and may crash.
Take a look at http://developer.gimp.org/ to get more information on
how to obtain a recent development build of the GIMP. If you do not
finsd your way straight from there to teh download binarys , read
some of the information there, and try searching at google with
keywords such as "gimp 2.3 download"
Pleae understand that the reason the developer version is not made
easier to find is exactly so that casual users do not pick an
unstable version instead of the one meant for daily usage.
