This is version 2.2 of The GIMP. Version 2.2 is an update on GIMP 2.0.
5
GIMP 2.2 is fully backward compatible to GIMP 2.0. Plug-ins and
6
scripts written for GIMP 2.0 will continue to work and don't need to
7
be changed nor recompiled to be used with GIMP 2.2. We do however
8
hope that plug-in authors will update their plug-ins for GIMP 2.2 and
9
adapt the GUI changes we did with this version.
11
GIMP 2.2 replaces GIMP 2.0. It is advised that you uninstall GIMP 2.0
12
before installing GIMP 2.2. If you want to keep GIMP 2.0 installed in
13
parallel to GIMP 2.2, you have to choose a separate prefix which is
14
not in your default library search path.
16
This code has already seen quite some testing but a lot has changed
17
since version GIMP 2.0 and we could very well have introduced new
18
bugs. If you find any , make sure you report them at bugzilla.gnome.org
19
(after checking that it isn't reported already).
21
The GIMP 2.2 API is guaranteed to be backward compatible (source and
22
binary) with the GIMP 2.0 API. If you find that your 2.0 plug-in break
23
when used with the GIMP 2.2 libraries, or if you cannot compile a GIMP
24
2.0 plug-in against the GIMP 2.2 header files, please report that as a

If you want to hack on The GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For
4
This is an unstable development version of GIMP. Please realize that
5
this is in no way a final product. A lot of new features are
6
incomplete and some things may even be completely broken. If you need
7
to get work done, please use the stable version, GIMP 2.2.
9
GIMP 2.3 replaces earlier GIMP 2.x versions. It is advised that you
10
uninstall them before installing GIMP 2.3. If you want to keep your
11
older GIMP 2.x installation in parallel to GIMP 2.3, you have to
12
choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search
13
path. Otherwise your GIMP 2.2 or GIMP 2.0 installation will start to
14
use the new libraries. You have been warned.
16
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
17
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
18
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
