It looks like the awesome development team behind the open-source GIMP image editor software has been working hard to prepare new features and improve existing ones in the widely used GNU application.

GMIP 2.8.18 improves Script-Fu modulo support for large numbers, repairs the export of the KISS CEL raster image file format, and adds proper Unicode support to Script-Fu regex.

GIMP will no longer crash when dragging and dropping sRGB JPEG images, and the file-compressor component now provides users with progress bars so that they can see what's going on all the time.

Another interesting change implemented in today's GIMP 2.8.18 release is that the installer now uses a different compression method, which automatically translates to the fact that its size is much smaller, by at least 20%, according to the devs.
