The next generation of the GNU Image Manipulation Program has been released in development form. This release is unstable and is targeting bug hunters and such. The stable release will be 2.6 since it follows the Linux way of releases (even being stable).
This is excellent news since GIMP couldn't do 16-bit images (per channel).

The most notable change in GIMP 2.5 happened under the hood. The color tools in GIMP have been ported to GEGL. This does not yet have much impact on the user experience but it is a first and important step forward. With full GEGL integration GIMP will finally get support for higher color depths, more colorspaces and eventually non-destructive editing.
This is excellent news since GIMP couldn't do 16-bit images (per channel).

Released with no CYMK support or 16-bit color support. While the 2.4 release is welcomed, more needs to be done to make the program usable for professionals.

Developers, artists and user interface designers from all over the world worked together to make GIMP more powerful and easier to use than ever. The changes from version 2.2 are too numerous to list here, please check the Release Notes to get an overview. If you want to compile GIMP 2.4 yourself, you can grab the tarball from ftp.gimp.org or one of its mirrors. Binary packages for the various supported platforms are becoming available as we speak. Our Downloads section should help you to locate the package for your system.
