Moin,

this night the GIMP 2.3.9 release appeared on the FTP server:

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.3

Version 2.3.9 is an unstable development snapshot of the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is however not quite as unstable as one might think, and rumours are that it is one of the last development releases before the long awaited GIMP 2.4. So please give this release extensive testing and make sure that all problems are reported in our bug-tracker.

Over the next weeks, we will try to add the remaining missing features and to iron out all the bugs that are blocking the 2.4 release. Any help with that is very much appreciated.

There are also a couple of tasks to be done for the 2.4 release that don't require any programming skills. Would be nice if we had some kind of a press release for GIMP 2.4. We will also want to update the screenshots on developer.gimp.org. And the About dialog still needs a new logo...

Is the plan to have SoC code in 2.4?

The plan that I prefer at the moment is to work hard on getting 2.4 out of the door soon. That means that no SoC code will go into the tree, simply because we will feature freeze before the students start to commit things. It will probably be a good idea to create a branch for gimp-2.4 in a few weeks so that the HEAD branch can be used for SoC commits. We just have to make sure that any changes to the 2.4 branch are merged into the HEAD branch.
