Hi,

	I have to say there were too many replies on this Subject, instead of
just... Putting Upstream the new Version on ubuntu-updates, or whichever
makes more sense for whoever decides this.

Someone wants a bug to give this update a reason? Well, there is a
reason why this is a release candidate and not the Final. But here's the
list. :) While arguing on moving from 2.4.0RC3, you can move at once to
2.4.1, pretty much Bug Fixed.

------------------------------ 
                   GNU Image Manipulation Program
                         2.4  Stable Branch
                   ------------------------------

This is the stable branch of GIMP. No new features are being added
here, just bug-fixes.
