Has GIMP Support For Windows XP Ended?

To Whom It May Concern:

I tried to install GIMP 2,10.0 on Windows XP, and the installer says, "This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running.". Is this a bug or is XP no longer supported? The GIMP website says nothing on the downloads page or release notes that XP is no longer supported. There are plenty of us who still use our legacy XP computers, mostly offline, too free up our more modern computers for web surfing.

Thanks, Tony

Windows XP is no longer supported unfortunately, please stick with Gimp 2.8 for these machines.

I am not too familiar with the reasoning, but IIRC it has to do with thread support that now is needed for Gimp 2.10.

Bye, Simon
