+# Downloading GIMP 2.10.24
+
+As usual GIMP 2.10.24 is available on [GIMP official website
+(gimp.org)](https://www.gimp.org/downloads/):
+
+* The Linux flatpak has already been published so that anyone who
+  installed it previously should have an update proposed by their
+  software manager (or from terminal: `flatpak update org.gimp.GIMP`).
+
+  *Note: our flatpak now supports only `x86-64` and `AArch64` (i.e. the
+  64-bit variants of the x86 and ARM architectures). In particular `i386`
+  (32-bit x86) had been dropped quite some time ago by the Freedesktop
+  runtime we depend on. This is now the `ARM` (32-bit) support which has
+  been dropped (even though 32-bit hardware is still being released or
+  often 64-bit board computers are sold with a 32-bit OS). We tried to
+  hold back a bit, for more than 6 months even, but now that the older
+  runtime we used is unsupported, updating is the only sane choice.*
+
+  *For the record, our i386 flatpak is therefore stuck at GIMP 2.10.14
+  and our ARM flatpak is stuck at GIMP 2.10.22 with a few thousands
+  downloads for this last version of GIMP i386 and a bit more than 400
+  for the last version of GIMP ARM.*
+
+* The Windows installer is already available. Most mirrors have picked
+  it up, but some still haven't. So if the download fails, just try to
+  click the `Download` button again.
+
+* The macOS DMG package will be published in the next few days once our
+  packager can make the time.
