GIMP-Print 3.1
Robert Krawitz announced the availability of gimp-print 3.1 on the gimp-developer mailing list. However, from checking the web page, I didn't actually see where it could be found. I assume the web page will catch up shortly; keep checking it.

3.1 is a development release of the plugin. Here's Robert's disclaimer:

If this software causes your print head to zoom off the end of your printer, spilling ink all over your 1000 year old Persian rug, don't blame us. Remember, you installed the software.

Stefan Kamphausen wrote in to let me know about his 3d Text Tutorial for GIMP.

GIMP 1.1.17 Available
Yosh just released GIMP 1.1.17. This version includes a cute Valentine's Day splash screen, featuring Wilber and his friend Wilma.

Grokking The GIMP
Carey Bunks recently mailed the gimp-developer mailing list with news that his book, Grokking the GIMP, will soon be available. What's more, the publisher will be sending free copies to everyone listed in about_dialog.c, and what's more, the book will be published under an open content license and available online, probably at the end of February.

The book has a beautiful cover, created by tigert.


GIMP Wins Slashdot Award
The readers of Slashdot have demonstrated their expertise in interface design by awarding GIMP an award for best GUI interface software. That means someone in the GIMP organization will get US$2000.

I can't find a link to the announcement of the awards, so you'll just have to take my word for it.


Net Toon Uses GIMP
It looks like the artist behind just breathe has started using GIMP for daily work.

GIMP 1.1.16 has been released. This version has some substantial plug-in code and interface cleanups by Michael Natterer, as well as various other changes. See the ChangeLog for details.

Translation Status Report
Sven Neumann has put up an automated translation status report that shows how well GIMP has been internationalized in various languages. If you're proficient in one of those languages, perhaps you could volunteer some effort and help finish the translation.
