GIMP 3.2.4 released
GIMP 3.2.4 finally squashes a stubborn XCF parsing bug that has been lurking since 1999 while fixing the text layer editing headaches introduced in recent updates.

The release also speeds up workflows on massive canvases by optimizing selection calculations and temporarily hiding marching ants during layer moves.
