Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.10.12 released

[Carmelo DrRaw via gimp-user-list]

Dear all,

AppImage packages for the 2.10.12 are also available from here: 
https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous 


They should work on most of the common Linux distributions.

Two versions of the AppImage are provided, one with only the GIMP application , 
and a second one also including various popular plug-ins.

Best regards, Andrea

Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] GIMP branched: new stable branch gimp-2-10

[Carmelo DrRaw]

What is the recommended branch for nightly development snapshots?

Should one provide snapshots for both master and gimp-2-10?
