We are happy to announce immediate availability of GIMP 2.8 — a new stable version of GNU Image Manipulation Program that culminates 3.5 years of exciting work.
With this version we are introducing some long-anticipated features such as layer groups, on-canvas text editing, advanced brush dynamics and the much desired optional single-window mode. We also started applying other important changes to the user interface that bring us closer to matching the product vision (http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/GIMP_UI_Redesign#product_vision).
For detailed information about changes since 2.6 please read the release notes (http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html). Source code is available for downloading (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) from a plethora of mirrors, a build for Windows will soon be available, and we hope to see a build for Mac OS X released as well.
We'd like to thank everyone who participated in development of GIMP 2.8: programmers, translators, documentation writers (updated user manual is a work in progress), and testers. We also thank our user community for the dedication and support — we needed it more than ever.
Now that this version is finally released, we are grasping the future with both hands. Stay tuned: some really exciting news will follow.
