I really wish they would announce after a windows installer is compiled.Now i must wait for a setup. :\
I see they used the Gimp splash from Richard! That's cool.

Awesome! I am not anxiously awaiting a mac version.

Thanks for the heads up; hope of the weird issues with rc1 get's patched too. Hope all my GIMP plugins still work as well. No Windows builds yet; maybe will be done by this weekend but not holding my breath.

I think they did.

Not a release until we say so.

Truly yours, GIMP developers

P.S. And please don't make us think of evil things like banning your IP for FTP access. Spreading the news is great. Doing it before an official announcement is evil. It's our right to reserve a certain level of surprise. Have some respect.

Actually the src tarball is available if you can compile it.
I am compiling for windows now.

Well i need pixbuf-2.24.1 and i can not find the version for windows 32 bit.
I tried to compile the src but ran into more errors.
Guess i will wait for the developers version after all. :\

i will wait for Parha, i want it with Python included and if possible with a portable architepture

Anyway from the messages is not really ready yet so i would not rush to compile that but wait at least for the official announcement

That's okay though it gave me a chance to update my compile environment.
I hadn't updated some libraries since 2011.

I was able to compile 2.24.1 by adding this definition into io-gdip-animation.c (line 166):

static void
gdk_pixbuf_gdip_anim_iter_init (GdkPixbufGdipAnimIter *iter)
{
}
