Updating gimp-win.sourceforge.net and Sourceforge old page as deprecated.

Hi,

1) Today while browsing random pages, I saw references to the Sourceforge page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/ I clicked and I see no warning message or anything there saying this is not anymore the place to get newer versions of GIMP for Windows. So I assume anyone who come to this page would think this is still the page where GIMP for Windows happen.

Could whoever has admin right on this Sourceforge project add like a big red message or something saying all these installers are old and this page deprecated and redirect them to the new installer page?

2) Also the page http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net has been updated with a link to gimp.org and a message. Nevertheless if you were to browse and go to the FAQ page, the "Download" button would be bad again and link to the old Sourceforge page, which is wrong: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Could the maintainer of this page (Ender, isn't it?) update it?

Thanks a lot all!

Jehan

Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done with the project pages.

I removed the Project page and Releases links from FAQ. The Download page already links to gimp.org.

If you're feeling good, don't worry. You'll get over it.
