New stuff available

www.gimp.org/win32/downloads.html now has links to fresh builds
of GLib 2.0.6, GTK+ 2.0.6, GIMP 1.2.4.

Please check if I have made some glitches in the webpage or
packaging.

GLib 2.0.6 has had some bug fixes. Nothing terribly
important. GIMP 1.2.4 also has some bugs fixed, but no
earth-shattering ones. No new functionality as such.

GTK+ 2.0.6 has had quite many bugfixes. (But as you should now,
GTK+ 2.0 is not used by GIMP 1.2.x, so this is of interest only
to those of you who develop code for GTK+ 2.0.)

Note that I now no longer distribute own builds of libiconv,
zlib, libpng, libjpeg, libtiff or freetype. Instead, I use the
canonical Windows ports by the GnuWin32 project
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net). (Except libiconv, where I
happen to use another porting effort.) There really is no longer
any good reason for me to keep building own versions of these
libraries.

As the DLL names used by these ports of said libraries are
different from the ones I used in my versions, you will need to
download them from the links on the downloads.html page. The
"bin" packages are the runtime ones.

I already had for a long time considered stopping using own
builds of these libraries. (But being basically lazy I kept
postponing it.) The mailing list discussion that now prompted me
to finally do it also might have as an effect some change in the
DLL names used by the GnuWin32 project. Hopefully not, but be
prepared to have to download stuff anew in that case.

The GIMP plug-ins affected by the changed DLL names are png,
jpeg, tiff and freetype.

Note to Jernej: This means you will have to go through what DLLs
you include in the installer, and change to the ones required
now.
