thanks,

All that was released today was the source code. Binaries for various platforms will come later.

You might want to watch Aarons activities at http://gimp-app.sf.net closely, where at least a 2.4 RC3 is available.

Version 2.4 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program is finally out.

Developers, artists and user interface designers from all over the world
worked together to make GIMP more powerful and easier to use than ever.
The changes from version 2.2 are described in the release notes on

http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.4.html

For a more detailed list of changes, please have a look at the NEWS file
at http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS-2.4

If you want to compile GIMP 2.4 yourself, you can grab the tarball from
ftp.gimp.org or one of its mirrors:

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.4/

Binary packages for the various supported platforms are expected to become available over the next couple of days. The new gimp.org website
will help you to locate the packages for your system:

http://gimp.org/downloads/

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped to improve GIMP.

The roadmap for GIMP 2.6 will be discussed over the next weeks on the gimp-developer mailing-list. We can only tell you so much now: It is going to rock and it shouldn't take as long to get it done as it took to
finish GIMP 2.4. If you want to join the effort, your help is much appreciated.

Happy GIMPing,
Sven

I use 2.4rc3 on my slackware Linux system. Is this the same as the final release? It seems to work fine.

Not sure. The developers lurking here can answer that better than I can.

2.4rc3 is not the same as 2.4.0. There were quite a few changes to the source tree between those two releases.

I tried 2.4-for-real for Win32 the other day & nothing leaped out to say "I'm different!" when compared with 2.4-rc3 on Ubuntu Gutsy -- but that doesn't necessarily say very much about changes under the hood, which may be extensive.
