After it's been successfully compiled, the new GIMP update will be installed automatically when you update Fedora (unless you skip or block it).

Unfortunately, GIMP 2.8.12 failed to compile on koji (Fedora's build system). I'm not sure what the problem was but it failed to compile across all supported Fedora versions. See here. The red dash on the right column denotes a failed compile attempt.

I have not tried to compile myself but I'll give it a shot later on today.

Wow i just noticed there is an updated Perl build (fork) now.

Is this for Windows?

Thank you Tux, I am sure it will be fixed very soon knowing how perfect Fedora runs 99.99999999 percent of the time

There may be a glitch in this release so if you haven't updated yet then you might want to hold off for a little while.

If you've already installed 2.8.12 then you may as well leave it until the fix is released. As I understand the problem, it will only affect the compiling of plug-ins using gimptool; plug-ins that have already been compiled should be fine.

EDIT: 2.8.14 released. See first post by GNUtux.

Thank you Saul

Looks like GIMP 2.8.12 was broken and GIMP 2.8.14 has now been released.

See first post for details.

Early adopters always get burned. lol

Glad my inability to compile saved me from a lot of headaches then. lol

Molly, GIMP 2.8.14 compiled clean on my Fedora 20 install.



It also compiled across all current Fedora versions so it should appear in the update repos soon.

There were several changes made to the script-fu plug-in, so I suppose I'll need to create a new patch for the Script-fu scrolling interface. Version 1.0 of the scrolling interface works but it's missing the new code included GIMP 2.8.14.

Thank you , I will check.

now I wait for Windows Version. I hope get it tile tomorrow evening CET. But really wait Gimp 2.10 or is than Gimp 3.0
Thank you

I plan on downloading it once it's stable. I'm still learning Gimp2.8.10.

But fortunately there are always those brave pioneers. (not my case)

I think I'll get even with version 2.8.2 for a long time; satisfied with it.
But it's good to see that updates are coming to improve the gimp.

What I would like to see in Gimp is being able to convert all of Photoshop layer styles into Gimp. I downloaded some pretty awesome Photoshop layer styles they don't work in Gimp. I have Gimp extensions installed so I have layer styles guess I'll have to play around with them until they look like the ones I downloaded.

Hmmm!, Installed 2.8.14 on Win7x64 and the floating Text tool dialog is missing the icons. I tried uninstalling, removing my .gimp-2.8 folder, and re-installing but still no good. Re-installing 2.8.10.

It will not be more stable, than this. The official Version is compiled once and is untouched until the next Version.
The 2.8.14 is a bugfixed version with no functions added. So it looks and feels like 2.8.10.

Is 2.8.14 even worth downloading? I have windows 7 64bit.

It does work now,

I have just been updated. Lots of updates in PCLOS recently, always a concern with a rolling release but so far so good.

For those unsure of the drag-n-drop layers, no need to go out of single window mode or detach the layers dialog anymore, works like this (1 min 30 secs)

I am sure this worked in a pre-release Gimp 2.7 I once compiled, so it has taken some time to fix.
