Hi,
we are releasing GIMP 2.8.22 with various bug fixes.
All platforms will benefit from a change to the image window hierarchy
in single window mode, which improves painting performance when certain
GTK+ themes are used.
This version fixes an ancient CVE bug, CVE-2007-3126. Due to this bug,
the ICO file import plug-in could be crashed by specially crafted image
files. Our attempts to reproduce the bug failed with 2.8 and thus the
impact had likely been minimal for years, but now it is gone for good.
Users on the Apple macOS platforms will benefit from fixes for crashes
during drag and copy operations. On the Microsoft Windows
platforms, crashes encountered when using the color picker with special
multi-screen setups are gone, and picking the actual color instead of
black from anywhere on the screen should finally be possible.
For a complete list of changes since 2.8.20 please see the "Changes"
section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at

Happy GIMPing,
