The GNU Image Manipulation Program has got a new release – GIMP 2.8.2. This is a bug fix release only and doesn't include any new features. Some of the major changes in this release are:
- Mention that the image was exported in the close warning dialog
- Fix the visibility logic of the export/overwrite menu items
- Remove all "Use GEGL" menu items, they only add bugs and zero function
- Improve performance of display filters, especially color management
- Fix the image window title to comply with the save/export spec and use the same image name everywhere, not only in the title
- Fix positioning of pasted/dropped stuff to be more reasonable
- Fix remembering of JPEG load/save defaults
- Mac OSX / Windows fixes
The updates are not available in repositories yet, but you can install it by adding a PPA. Run the following commands in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
