>Hi, > >we are releasing GIMP 2.8.22 with various bug fixes. > >All platforms will benefit from a change to the image window hierarchy >in single window mode, which improves painting performance when >certain >GTK+ themes are used. > >This version fixes an ancient CVE bug, CVE-2007-3126. Due to this bug, >the ICO file import plug-in could be crashed by specially crafted >image >files. Our attempts to reproduce the bug failed with 2.8 and thus the >impact had likely been minimal for years, but now it is gone for good. > >Users on the Apple macOS platforms will benefit from fixes for crashes >during drag&drop and copy&paste operations. On the Microsoft Windows >platforms, crashes encountered when using the color picker with >special >multi-screen setups are gone, and picking the actual color instead of >black from anywhere on the screen should finally be possible. > >For a complete list of changes since 2.8.20 please see the "Changes" >section below.
