Re: [Gimp-user] What happened to Gimp?

[Shlomi Fish <shlomif shlomifish org>]

Hi Belleo,

do you remember which version of GIMP you used on the previous systems you had?
The latest stable GIMP has been in version 2.8.x since 2.8.0 was released around
2012
- three years ago (see https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/commits/master/NEWS ), and
not too much changed in the UI there.

Regards,
