ANNOUNCE: GIMP 1.3.19

[David Neary]

Hi all,

The next release in the development series of the GIMP, version
1.3.19, is now available for download from

  ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.19/

or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html

We think this is good enough for daily use. We are now very close
to a 2.0 prerelease, so we particularly appreciate testing
efforts. New bugs can be reported to us at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

We at the GIMP would like to take this opportunity to  thank all 
our sponsors for GIMPCon, which completed a couple of weeks ago. 
Special thanks go to the Free Software Foundation
(http://fsf.org), who funded the majority of the costs incurred
for the event. Thanks are also due to our other sponsors,
O'Reilly and Associates, Germany (http://oreilly.de), MacGimp
(http://macgimp.org) and FlamingText (http://ftgimp.com).
