There haven't ever been any announcements about when 2.8 is due. It's just that people find the project schedule from time to time and tell everyone, without noticing that it's stuck on predicting the release 42 days from whatever the current date is. So currently the prediction is 8th March 2012.

They should just slap a Gimp-2.8 on Gimp-2.7.5 and call it good. :lol
About the same anyways.Except for the new brush pack, it's pretty much Gimp-2.8 anyways.

I am counting on Feb. 17th.That would be a nice B-Day present. ;)

I visit this site daily.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/
They are still finding and repairing bugs.
Then there's a lot of translation updates in many languages.

I am pretty fed up with these guys.I have asked them about my CP and they figure because i paid a one time 68 dollar fee to have premium service i don't count as a customer.Bunch of bone heads. :)

I probably will move my website to my new server soon.

AFAIK brushes will work ok in 2.8.
And 2.8 has the possibility of rotating brushes,which I like a lot.
I have copied 2.6 brushes to 2.7.x and all them worked ok.
Now scripts and plugins are another story.
Most of them will need rewriting because the syntax in 2.8 is different.
Gerard.
