Development Branch
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the unstable development branch of GIMP. Here we are working
|
|
towards the next stable release, which will be GIMP 2.10.
|
|
|
|
Generally, all bug fixes that are applied on the stable GIMP 2.8
|
|
branch are also applied here, but they are usually not mentioned
|
|
in NEWS.
