It's more or less unusable. It turns out that independent of the used distro GIMP 2.10.x is broken and users tend to downgrade to 2.8.x. So did I, but when I tried to open a graphic with 2.8.22, that was saved with 2.10.6, I got "XCF error: unsupported XCF file version 11 encountered". I didn't test, if switching all layers from "default" to "legacy" mode or another workaround and than saving the file with 2.10.6, allows to open it with GIMP 2.8. However, weather GIMP 2.10 is or is not broken, I would add a note to the the release notes, since backwards compatibility could be important, even if GIMP 2.10 should be stable. Users might work on a project and share files between different graphic apps or at least different GIMP releases, on different Linux distros, different operating systems or just different Ubuntu releases.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Cosmic Release Notes
Hi Ross, Thanks for writing the release notes. My suggestion would be to reformat the Ubuntu Studio Controls text into a list, so it's easier to find what changed: --- • Ubuntu Studio Controls upgraded to version 1.6: • Added option to set the CPU governor to performance mode for $IMPROVED_RECORDING_CHARACTERISTIC. (May need BIOS settings changes). • Can now start & stop Jack $ON_THE_FLY • Can now update audio settings $ON_THE_FLY • Improved default settings for audio --- $IMPROVED_RECORDING_CHARACTERISTIC: (Just guessing: improved recording throughput / fewer interrupts while recording / etc.) $ON_THE_FLY: without (rebooting / logging out / restarting the app / etc.)? (Again, just guesses). Cheers, Josh On Oct 17, 2018, at 4:34 PM, Ross Gammon wrote: Hi All, I have drafted some release notes for the release tomorrow.

Is this deliberate, or should I file a bug? It is not serious. Maybe it is time for us to re-write the "Post Installation" ISO testcase to use controls instead of Qjackctl? We would need to use something else to view the connections for the Jack sink/source.

Then We should delete the supported seed branches to avoid accidental updates to the old repositories.
