Hey GIMPers,

there's a new development snapshot in the 1.3 series of The GIMP, version 1.3.22, now available for download from

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.22/

or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html

This release focuses on bug fixes and thus it should be the most stable development release we have had to date. There are also a few nice features which have been added since the last release. So please give this version a lot of testing and keep those bug reports coming in to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.

If you are upgrading from an earlier 1.3 release, please note that the gimprc and sessionrc file formats changed. We suggest you remove (or move away) your personal ~/.gimp-1.3 directory and do a fresh user installation.

Happy GIMPing, Sven
