GIMP 3.2.4 Released With A Fix For Its XCF Code That Has Existed Since 1999

([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.

With this cross-platform image manipulation program, some of the GIMP 3.2.4 changes/fixes include:

- 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.

David Brinkley: The daily astrological charts are precisely where, in my
judgment, they belong, and that is on the comic page.
George Will: I don't think astrology belongs even on the comic pages.
The comics are making no truth claim.
Brinkley: Where would you put it?
Will: I wouldn't put it in the newspaper. I think it's transparent rubbish.
It's a reflection of an idea that we expelled from Western thought in the
sixteenth century, that we are in the center of a caring universe. We are
not the center of the universe, and it doesn't care. The star's alignment
at the time of our birth -- that is absolute rubbish. It is not funny to
have it intruded among people who have nuclear weapons.
Sam Donaldson: This isn't something new. Governor Ronald Reagan was sworn
in just after midnight in his first term in Sacramento because the stars
said it was a propitious time.
Will: They [horoscopes] are utter crashing banalities. They could apply to
anyone and anything.
Brinkley: When is the exact moment [of birth]? I don't think the nurse is
standing there with a stopwatch and a notepad.
Donaldson: If we're making decisions based on the stars -- that's a cockamamie
thing. People want to know.
