For a complete list of changes since 2.8.10 please see the "Changes" section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing, --Mitch

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.10 to GIMP 2.8.12 ===================================================

Core:

- OSX: Fix migration code for old GIMP directories - Fix brush sizes when used from plug-ins - Windows: Allow to Explorer-open files with UTF-8 characters in the filename
- Make XCF loading more robust against broken files

GUI:

- Make sure the widget direction matches the GUI language - Remove the option to disable the warning when closing a modified image
- Fix canvas overlay widgets (like the text options) for tablets - Make DND work between images in one dockable

Libgimp:

- Make gimp_image_get_name() return the string used for the image title

Plug-ins:

- Make script-fu-server more secure by listening to 127.0.0.1 by default and add a warning about changing that IP. This breaks the procedure's API, but for security reasons. - Bring back proper script-fu translations

General:

- Massively clean up and fix the OSX build and bundle - Add Jenkins tutorial
- Documentation updates
- Bug fixes
- Translation updates

Strangely, the 2.8.12's configure fails with my python 2.6 (CentOS6, which is conform to the requirement: Python >= 2.5.0), whereas 2.8.10 finds it as expected.

See:
[snip]
checking for a Python 2 interpreter with version >= 2.5.0... none configure: error:
*** Could not find Python 2 (2.5.0 or newer). *** Please install it, or skip building the python scripting extension by *** passing --disable-python to configure (but then you will not be able *** to use scripts for GIMP that are written in Python).

whereas with 2.8.10: checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5.0... python checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking for python version... 2.6
checking for python platform... linux2 checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib64/python2.6/site-packages checking for headers required to compile python extensions... found checking for PYGTK... yes
checking for pygtk-codegen-2.0... /opt/gimp-2.8/bin/pygtk-codegen-2.0 checking for pygtk defs... /opt/gimp-2.8/share/pygtk/2.0/defs

Note that both python and python2.6 are on PATH. Setting PYTHON env. var. doesn't help, but I usually doesn't set it.

The following python line causes a wrong check when python version is 2.x:

sys.exit(sys.version_info.major != 2 or sys.hexversion < minverhex)

It ends up with a wrong logic, see:

ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.8.12 released

Hi,

nice to read that ;-)

GIMP up to version 2.8.10 could run on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later. I could provide an OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) build from the original sources (i.e. with no extra plug-ins and other patches), but I'm not able to provide support for OS X versions before that. Does anybody volunteer to build from the original, unmodified sources for OS X 10.6 again? If necessary I could support the OS X packager by answering arising questions by email. If nobody did, could we live with not supporting versions prior to OS X 10.9 in this release?

Kind regards

Sven

I was under the impression that you have access at least to a virtual machine running 10.6 or 10.7

well, since OS X is the only platform for which ready to use binary packages are officially provided by gimp.org, IMO there should be packages for every OS X version Apple supports. As of today that wold mean 10.7+

At least I will build packages for 10.7+ (but as you might know, with a lot of plugins and some small patches ;-) )
