Because that's the version of Gimp that's tested and built with that version of the operating system. If you want a newer version of Gimp, use a newer Ubuntu or a faster-moving Linux. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you could enable a PPA. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
