Title:
FFe: Sync gimp 2.10.0~RC2-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)
Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Feature Freeze Justification
============================
gimp's last new stable series, 2.8, was released 6 years ago. The new series
has years of work porting gimp to use gegl more completely, an integrated crash
report tool, and many more improvements.
The Gimp development team is so small that I do not expect there to be
much support at all for gimp 2.8 any more.
Future
======
If the final gimp 2.10 is not released before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, then we
should do an SRU to update it then.
The Gimp developers have announced that they will add features to
future 2.10 releases so that users won't have to wait several years
like this again.
Gimp 3.0 will switch to gtk3 (or gtk4).
Affected Flavors
================
Ubuntu Studio is the only flavor to include gimp by default.
