I know my proposed patch for bug 335975<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335975>is probably very low priority, but I'd like to see it included soon. If there are issues, I'd like to get some feedback so that it can be fixed and included.
Please let me know if there is something I need to do differently to submit this :) Dominic Canare └ d...@domstyle.net On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 12:10, Michael Natterer <mi...@gimp.org> wrote: > Hi, > > We are pleased to announce the availability of a new development > version that brings us closer to GIMP 2.8.
