Gimp 2.8.14 Stable and Gimp 2.9.1 (Development) Available For Ubuntu/Linux Mint Via PPA

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. GIMP works on many operating systems and it is translated in many languages. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. Both stable and development version is available via 3rd party repositories.

Changes in GIMP 2.8.14:

• Fix libtool versioning (forgot to bump gimp_interface_age)
• Fix brush sizes when used from plug-ins
• Make XCF loading more robust against broken files
• Make sure the widget direction matches the GUI language
• Remove the option to disable the warning when closing a modified image
• Fix canvas overlay widgets (like the text options) for tablets
• Make DND work between images in one dockable
• Make gimp_image_get_name() return the string used for the image title
• Make script-fu-server more secure by listening to 127.0.0.1 by default and add a warning about changing that IP. This breaks the procedure's API, but for security reasons.
• Bring back proper script-fu translations
• Add Jenkins tutorial
• Documentation updates
• Bug fixes
• Translation updates

Gimp 2.9.1 Development version

What's in GIMP 2.9.1:

• the Lanczos 3 sampler (replaced by the new LoBlur samling method)

• Tile based computation and projection
• ICC v4 color profile conversion support
• GEGL based filters and plugins
• OpenCL-accelerated filters
• These filters do currently make use of the full power of your CPU/GPU hardware which results in accelerated computation: Gaussian Blur, Grey, Laplace, Motion Blur, Pixelize, Sobel, Threshold
• Multi-core CPU / GPU support
• More on-canvas previews: Gaussian and Motion Blur work on-canvas and also most of the Noise creation filters.
• Heavily improved scaling quality: No- and LoHalo-Samplers
• New tool: Unified transformation
• Lossless color space conversions
• A huge step for GIMP: 16/32 bit per channel support
