+<h2>Known Regressions</h2>
+<p>
+  GIMP 2.8 relies on a newer version of GTK+2 that unfortunately has partially 
+  broken support for graphics tablets such as Wacom. If your graphic tablet 
+  doesn't work in GIMP 2.8 as it should, we recommend downgrading to 2.6 until 
+  we release GIMP 3.0 that relies on GTK+3 which has fully functional support 
+  for advanced input devices.

+<p>
+  To address the needs to migrate from the old tools presets system to the new 
+  one we provide a <a href="http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Mindstorm:Preset_converter";>script</a> 
+  in Python. However, the old tools presets are not 100% convertible to the new 
+  tool presets. For instance, brush scale from 2.6 can't be converted to brush 
+  size in 2.8.
