On **Linux**, GIMP is now capable of using [darktable](http://www.darktable.org/) for pre-processing raw
images from DSLRs (Canon CR2, Nikon NEF etc.). darktable is an amazing project whose developers stick around
at our IRC channel and even contribute to GIMP (most recently, they added reading various metadata from EXR
files).

The new MyPaint Brush tool is now enabled by default. Daniel Sabo and Michael Natterer improved its
performance and made MyPaint brushes available via an aready familiar dockable dialog interface, with
previews and tagging.
Jehan Pagès collaborated with the MyPaint team: he ported libmypaint to autotools, allowing in particular
standard builds on all platforms, and work is being done to turn default brushes into a separately shipped
package.

Another major new feature is symmetric painting mode, also developed by Jehan Pagès with financial support

-* Bug 109161 * Improve Histogram with Luminance Channel
+When GIMP occasionally crashes, we need as much information as possible to find out the actual bug. Raw
crash log is one of such sources of information about an issue. **Windows** builds can now generate backtrace
logs upon a crash with [Dr.MinGW's ExcHndl](https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw) library, which must be
available at build time. The logs will be stored in `%APPDATA%\GIMP\2.9\CrashLog\`.
## What's Left To Do for GIMP 2.10
-(FIXME ADD CONTENT)
+Since the release of v2.9.2 we have been mostly fixing bugs and completing the work we had started earlier.
We are not planning to add any major new features in v2.10. If you are interested to help us release v2.10
earlier, you can find the list of bugs reports in the
[bugtracker](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&classification=Other&list_id=137406&order=Importance&product=GIMP&query_format=advanced&target_milestone=2.10).
## Downloads
-(FIXME ADD CONTENT)
+Source code and Windows installer of GIMP 2.9.4 are available from the
[Downloads](http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) page. A build for Mac is not available at this time.
