First preview of GIMP 2.2

A preview release of GIMP 2.2 is now available from ftp.gimp.org and from the mirrors. This pre-release has all the features that 2.2 will have. Since some of this code hasn't seen a lot of testing yet, there are certainly bugs. This is your chance to find them.

The GIMP Wiki has a comprehensive list of new features and developer.gimp.org has some screenshots.

If you are talking about MDI, I'd be interested to know how or why anyone would actually want to have such an ergonomically diseased design. One of the big plusses of not having to work with MS-Win or Macintosh is the absence of this "feature". One of the major irritants about Open/Staroffice is its presence there.
But then again, I've also noticed how people brought up on an exclusive diet on either MS or Apple tend to blow up any application window to fullscreen; so maybe Gates was right after all when he said years ago that people weren't asking for multi-tasking but for task-switching.
