Posted by Michael Larabel on October 30, 2008

The GIMP community has today announced the release of GIMP 2.6.2, the second bug-fix release for GIMP 2.6, which brought a number of changes including GEGL (the Generic Graphics Library) and user interface improvements. Among the bugs fixed in GIMP 2.6.2 include improving the scaling speed, being unable to build GIMP on Solaris 2.8 with Sun CC, compatibility with GEGL newer than version 0.0.20, and other improvements. Several languages also have translation updates in GIMP 2.6.2. The change-log can be found in the GIMP news file and this latest release can be downloaded at GIMP.org.
