Hi,

we are releasing GIMP 2.8.22 with various bug fixes.

All platforms will benefit from a change to the image window hierarchy in single window mode, which improves painting performance when certain
GTK+ themes are used.

This version fixes an ancient CVE bug, CVE-2007-3126. Due to this bug, the ICO file import plug-in could be crashed by specially crafted image
files. Our attempts to reproduce the bug failed with 2.8 and thus the impact had likely been minimal for years, but now it is gone for good.

Users on the Apple macOS platforms will benefit from fixes for crashes during drag&drop and copy&paste operations. On the Microsoft Windows platforms, crashes encountered when using the color picker with special
multi-screen setups are gone, and picking the actual color instead of black from anywhere on the screen should finally be possible.

For a complete list of changes since 2.8.20 please see the "Changes" section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing, --Michael

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.20 to GIMP 2.8.22 ===================================================

GUI:

- improve drawing performance in single window mode, especially with pixmap themes

macOS DMG:

- Make the launcher script also set BABL_PATH - Add patch for GTK+ Bug 743717 to the build which concerns crashes during clipboard operations with a clipboard manager active - Add patch for GTK+ Bug 767091 to the build which concerns crashes on some drag & drop operations
- generate OSX package metadata during build

Plug-ins:

- Fix for CVE-2007-3126, a bug in the ICO plug-in which allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an ICO file with an InfoHeader containing a Height of zero. We couldn't reproduce any crash in recent version, but fixed the error messages for good measure
- Avoid creating wrong layer group structure when importing PSD files (already fixed in 2.8.20, didn't make it to the NEWS) - Prevent a crash in PDF plug-in if images or resolution are large - stop parsing invalid PCX files early and prevent a segmentation fault

General:

- if NOCONFIGURE is set, autogen.sh won't run configure - VPATH builds for win32 targets have been fixed

Updated Translations:

- Basque - Brazilian Portuguese
- Catalan
- Chinese (PRC)
- Finnish
- Greek
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Kazakh
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Slovenian
- Spanish
- Swedish

Is it necessary to uninstall 2.8.20 in Windows 10 before installing 2.8.22?

Is it necessary to uninstall 2.8.20 in Windows 10 before installing 2.8.22?

No.

Points to remember. Whether you uninstall Gimp before installing a new version or not, your Gimp profile C:\Users\.gimp-2.8 remains. Sometimes, very infrequently, existing settings can conflict with the new version. In that case, disable the existing Gimp profile by re-naming it, and start Gimp to create a new default Gimp profile.

Thanks! I'm running an outdated version of Ubuntu (need a new PC) and Linux Mint is slow to update newer versions of software, like this.

I'll check out this PPA.

Hi, Tom,

if there are some issues let me know.

PS: Please give me some information about your system, e.g, the specific Mint version. It helps me because I'm not able to test every environment.

Hi! I wanted to let you know I've been running GIMP 2.8.22 on my Linux Mint 18.2 system for a while now and it's been working well! The only issue I have is I can't get the "Bevel and Emboss" plugin (part of the FX Foundry) to run. Each time I run it, it crashes. Not a huge problem as I can use another plugin for that.

On the positive side, I was able to design a business card and an envelope return label without any issues at all. :)

Sorry for the delayed feedback.

Thanks!

Peace...

Tom
