Often the release *is* the final release candidate, just with a version bump. This is because every time someone touches the code there's the opportunity for new problems - not necessarily bugs, not necessarily in your code, but problems nonetheless. *Fixing* bugs can cause such problems, where a plugin has been relying on the buggy behaviour.
All of this means that, yes, we'd like to see the bugs that are fixed in the new release over RC3, so we can weigh up the risk of breaking stuff against the benefits of the bug fixes. And the best way to notify the people who can do something about it is generally not on ubuntu-devel-discuss, but on launchpad in bug(s) against the gimp package. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
