([Free Software] 5 Hours Ago GIMP 3.2.4)


Following last month's [1]GIMP 3.2 feature release that was followed by [2]the GIMP 3.2.2 point release at the end of March, out now is GIMP 3.2.4 to ship more fixes to users of this open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop and other imaging applications.

- Fixing more cases where tools would accidentally rasterize link, text, and vector layers.

- A fix for XCF as GIMP's native file format that has existed since 1999. See [3]this commit for those interested.

- Possible crash fixes.

- A Wayland fix for where the tool cursor icon might disappear when moving it.

- Various other bug fixes.
