GIMP 2.8.14 Released
Yesterday’s 2.8.12 release had broken library versioning, so we had to roll out GIMP 2.8.14 today.
The only change is the fixed libtool versioning.

Gimp-Perl release candidate ready for testing
It’s been possible to use various scripting languages to automate GIMP for a long time. But until recently Perl bindings for GIMP were considerably out of date due to lack of interest from contributors. Fortunately, a while ago Ed J started working on updating those, and now a release candidate is available for testing.
Gimp-Perl version 2.30_05 is on CPAN now. It supports GIMP 2.8 and provides the following features:
- An autosave script (not installed by default, examples/autosave2) will save in its own directory files that were opened and changed, then reopen them on GIMP startup; if installed, will start along with GIMP.
- A plugin registry viewer, installed by default to Filters/Browse Plug-in Registry.
- A Perl console, installed by default to Filters/Perl/Console.
The way to install the release candidate on Linux is:
perl -MCPAN -e "install 'ETJ/Gimp-2.30_05.tar.gz'"
If you encounter any bugs, please report them on bugzilla.gnome.org.

Tutorial: Structure based deformation (adaptive distortion)
This tutorial shows how you can distort a logo in a realistic way so that it seems to be lying directly on a surface. We’re using a distortion mask to create this effect which “tells” the image what is being distorted with the depth information.
