Install GIMP 2.8.14 In Ubuntu Or Linux Mint Via PPA

Changes in GIMP 2.8.14 since 2.8.10:

• Core:
• OSX: Fix migration code for old GIMP directories;
• Fix brush sizes when used from plug-ins;
• Windows: Allow to Explorer-open files with UTF-8 characters in the filename;
• Make XCF loading more robust against broken files;
• GUI:
• Make sure the widget direction matches the GUI language;
• Remove the option to disable the warning when closing a modified image;
• Fix canvas overlay widgets (like the text options) for tablets;
• Make DND work between images in one dockable;
• Libgimp:
• Make gimp_image_get_name() return the string used for the image title;
• Plug-ins:
• Make script-fu-server more secure by listening to 127.0.0.1 by default and add a warning about changing that IP. This breaks the procedure's API, but for security reasons;
• Bring back proper script-fu translations;
• General:
• Massively clean up and fix the OSX build and bundle;
• Add Jenkins tutorial;
• Documentation updates;
• Bug fixes;
• Translation updates.

The next major GIMP release - 2.10 (release date not known yet) -, should bring a complete port to GEGL / high bit depths, support layer masks on layer groups, new warp tool, seamless cloning, unified transform tool and more. Most of these features are work in progress and already available in the latest GIMP development builds - if you want to give it a try under Ubuntu, you can use a PPA to install the latest GIMP 2.10 development builds.
