Unfortunately updating gimp to 2.10 breaks mypaint. Until mypaint is updated to a version that uses the newer version of libmypaint, we will be unable to include gimp at this time as it will cause workflow difficulties with some of our userbase. Releasing gimp 2.10 as an SRU (so long as mypaint can be updated to 1.3 after its release) would be the best route. Another option is to encourage the snap version of gimp 2.10 once released for those who want/need it.
At this time, on behalf of the Ubuntu Studio team, we recommend no FFe for this case as it will break mypaint. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu.

The new series has years of work porting gimp to use gegl more completely, an integrated crash report tool, and many more improvements. The Gimp development team is so small that I do not expect there to be much support at all for gimp 2.8 any more. Future ====== If the final gimp 2.10 is not released before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, then we should do an SRU to update it then. The Gimp developers have announced that they will add features to future 2.10 releases so that users won't have to wait several years like this again. Gimp 3.0 will switch to gtk3 (or gtk4). Affected Flavors ================ Ubuntu Studio is the only flavor to include gimp by default. Changes ======= This entire file! https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/NEWS Features are described in several blog posts documenting the 2.9 development releases at https://www.gimp.org/news/ Changes in the new Debian version ================================= Uploaded to experimental on request of the Debian maintainer Ari Pollack. gimp (2.10.0~RC1-1) experimental; urgency=medium . * New upstream release candidate (LP: #1759625) - Fixes screenshots in GNOME and KDE on Wayland (Closes: #880186) (LP: #1739684) * Bump dependencies per configure.ac * Add new Build-Depends: gegl, glib-networking, libgexiv2-dev, libmypaint-dev, libopenjp2-7-dev (Closes: #827083), libopenexr-dev, libwebp-dev, mypaint-brushes, python-cairo-dev * Depend on xdg-utils for email feature * Update debian/libgimp2.0.symbols * Drop all patches (except 01_hurd_ftbfs.patch) since they are obsolete with the new release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1759625/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : ubuntustudio-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
