Hi, we do support the Apple platform. The main reason to do the 2.2.15 release is that it contains a fix for a crash that occured only on the Apple platform.

We don't provide any binaries at all. Packaging GIMP for specific platforms is left to third-party packagers. If these packages are not uptodate for a particular platform, then the user community of said platform does obviously not work. It's sad to see that the Mac OS X community is even worse than the Windows one when it comes to misunderstanding the "free" in "Free Software. > Excuse me if this is a silly question, but it just that I really miss > that as a GIMP user, and maybe there are many other GIMP users like me > that would like to have the latest GIMP version shining in their Macs. > A friend of mine was not able to get GIMP working in a recent MacBook > Pro (Core 2 Duo).

All that is needed is a little bit of your time. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Ok, ok... :) Well, what I was meaning about support is something different. The latest GIMP binary (GIMP.app) available for Mac is version 2.2.11, wich is... hmmm... about 9 months old. There is a significant lag, I think. The available Windows binary is only 1 month old. Isn't it possible to make GIMP binaries available for several platforms, like those we can find in other opensource projects like OpenOffice.org, Mozilla/Firefox, Inkscape or Blender? Excuse me if this is a silly question, but it just that I really miss that as a GIMP user, and maybe there are many other GIMP users like me that would like to have the latest GIMP version shining in their Macs. A friend of mine was not able to get GIMP working in a recent MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo). Appearently the latest Gimp.app is getting too old and should be updated. However, please don't take my words as unthankfull critics. I am using Gimp.app and I am very happy to be able to use it. The people who made it available made a good job and I thank them for it.
