GIMP - Windows installers

Their website is either broken or no longer updated. Well at least the project is not dead (which is what I thought for a long time).

What part of the site is broken exactly? I don't see anything wrong with it.

Well, for one thing the only announcement I see on the homepage is the release of 2.6.8 last year. No 2.6.9, and no announcement regarding the 2.7.0 dev branch that I remember seeing not too long ago. And then most of the pages on the dev website are missing.

2.6.11 is out now.

V2.7.1 is out on beta stage already, it can be downloaded.

Hmmmm... I see version 2.6.10

I would love a free version of Adobe Photoshop. But until the second return of Christ...(whenever)...... Gimp, version 2.6.10 might have to do...

Woah, guys, this topic has been dead for seven months (when I last posted).
