From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a mostly bug fix version of the prior release candidate. So there is not much new stuff to talk about. The only thing I want to mention is, that GIMP 3 makes me believe in Half-Life 3 again.
The non destructive filter/styling stuff seems like a massive improvement imo. For people making complex scenes with effects applied to each layer this makes it so you can easily modify individual aspects of a layer after the fact.

The non destructive filter was already implemented and is not new in RC2. So I assume whats new is the GEGL filters new API.
