Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.9.2 released

[C R]

Been using 2.9.3 in production all week. Let me first say that I am truly
astounded at the plethora of extra features that have been added, many many
of which will become staples in my workflow from now on. Everyone deserves
high praise for this release, it's been rock solid so far.

It seems the mesh transform tool is still freezing up GIMP (every time),
but apart from that, nothing has crashed, and it's like early x-mas times a
thousand to see all the features implemented and usable. So thanks again!

Sorry, that should be "cage transform" tool. That's the one that freezes
when the you draw the complete cage.

Thanks Elle. I may try again next weekend. In the mean time I can look
forward to using all the new features and improvements. Thanks for the
response!

I could not successfully get gegl to build from source. I spent ages trying.
Luckily someone updated the edge ppa and it now installs fine:

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/gimp-29-210-development-builds.html

I then had to run:
sudo apt-get build-dep gegl

then
sudo apt-get install gegl

and now it runs fine.

Hope that helps someone.

Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.9.2 released

[C R]

Thanks to the development team and everyone who has contributed to this
monumental step! I use GIMP every day and have processed over one hundred
thousand images with it already. So thanks so much for this tremendous
gift, I can't wait to test the new features!

One question, can someone put together a step-by-step for compiling it
(including babl and gegl) under Ubuntu? I've been trying, but can't seem to
get gegl installed correctly. It says it's not installed, when clearly it
is (even the latest version from git).

Thanks for any help.
