The new series has years of work porting gimp to use gegl more completely, an integrated crash report tool, and many more improvements. The Gimp development team is so small that I do not expect there to be much support at all for gimp 2.8 any more. Future ====== If the final gimp 2.10 is not released before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, then we should do an SRU to update it then. The Gimp developers have announced that they will add features to future 2.10 releases so that users won't have to wait several years like this again. Gimp 3.0 will switch to gtk3 (or gtk4). Affected Flavors ================ Ubuntu Studio is the only flavor to include gimp by default. Changes ======= This entire file! https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/NEWS Features are described in several blog posts documenting the 2.9 development releases at https://www.gimp.org/news/ Changes in the new Debian version ================================= Uploaded to experimental on request of the Debian maintainer Ari Pollack. gimp (2.10.0~RC1-1) experimental; urgency=medium . * New upstream release candidate (LP: #1759625) - Fixes screenshots in GNOME and KDE on Wayland (Closes: #880186) (LP: #1739684) * Bump dependencies per configure.ac * Add new Build-Depends: gegl, glib-networking, libgexiv2-dev, libmypaint-dev, libopenjp2-7-dev (Closes: #827083), libopenexr-dev, libwebp-dev, mypaint-brushes, python-cairo-dev * Depend on xdg-utils for email feature * Update debian/libgimp2.0.symbols * Drop all patches (except 01_hurd_ftbfs.patch) since they are obsolete with the new release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1759625/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
