Re: [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.10.0 released

[Guy Stalnaker <jimmyg521 gmail com>]

Congratulations!

It is due to the dedication and ability of people like you and the many
GIMP developers, planners, etc. that we have software like GIMP which some
of us (me) rely on nearly everyday for real, productive work.

MUCH thanks!

Guy
