8 Hello all,

10 For those of you who foam at the mouth to get your hands on the latest and
11 greatest copy of a certain software, specifically in this case Gimp, you might
12 have interest here.

14 I recently read a post on the Gimp website that said Gimp would finally be
15 moving to a single window with docks and away from it's flying free method
16 where your tools are in their own windows that can be put anywhere. That being
17 said, I am quite eager to get a look at 2.8. Sadly though, 2.8 is not available
18 yet(as far as I know at least). Version 2.7 is still in beta, but it IS in
19 beta. :)
