[Gimp-user] FYI: Gimp 2.9.1 - Git version - Ubuntu packages for Raring and Saucy are available

Thorsten:
I was able to install on my 13.0 Ubuntu, and it worked great for a couple of
hours, was quite snappy, too!
However, shortly thereafter, Gimp began refusing to open newly created 16 bit
tiff files (see my post earlier re: Gimp 2.9.1 Plug-in crashed: "file-tiff-load"

Are you able to offer any clues behind this error message?  Why would it have
worked for a while, then stop working, and why do those files with which I had
success continue to open, but new files not?  Curious.

Great work though, thanks.  Loved it while I had it.
