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.

[ZWard117]

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.

[Rod]

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

[Rod]

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. :\

[PhotoComix]

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

[Rod]

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

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.

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)
{
}

Thanks Max that worked perfectly.

Gimpuser.com sure jumped the gun!
This is right from the horses mouth:

I hope when it's finally released the sluggishness caused by color management will be gone.

I have partha's version of GIMP 2.7.6 (GIMP 2.8?) for a while. I am not sure if I should expect anything new in the just announced GIMP 2.8.

Kindly advise.

[PhotoComix]

yes but is not yet ready

and personally i will wait for a correspondent version of Partha (i hope he will do) because i prefer have python directly included and a portable architecture

[abraess]

Hallo,
wait for the Windows form Jernej Simončič. As Rod say I wished even the announce it after a windows installer is compiled.

I'm trying to compile it on ubuntu right now...

[josephbupe]

Besides, Partha's version of Gimp 2.7.6 includes G'MIC etc; hopefully he will also include GAP in his latest release.

I am praying for him as he contemplates.

Cheers.

[PhotoComix]

If it will not i will include in mine, same for Mathmap
But no promises i build on Partha (or Samj) builds so i need his (or her in case of Samj) build to be ready

Anyway on my site you may already found GAP 2.7 (doesn't exist yet a 2.8 version) at 32 bit, and on samj blog Gimp 2.6 (that is still compatible with 2.8...well i didn't test everything but all what i tried works ) for 64 bit

PS all merit to compile GAP 2.7 goes to JamesH, i only hosted in a (hopefully) more easy place to find

[josephbupe]

Thanx PhotoComix for the information. I am now going for GAP 2.7 on your site.

Stay well.
