GIMP 2.10.38 Released with Much-Requested Backports of GTK3 Features
Coming six months after GIMP 2.10.36, the GIMP 2.10.38 release is here to backport several other features from GTK3 to GTK2, including updating the Print Dialog’s size so that the buttons aren’t cut off anymore, fixing issues with the pop-up dialogs appearing behind the previous ones, as well as fixing several keyboard input bugs.
GIMP 2.10.38 also improves support for indexed PNG images with transparency to allow them to be exported with the correct colors, adds support for UTF-8 characters to the titlebar customization field, and prevents existing image comments from “leaking” into newly created images.

GIMP 2.10.38: The Last Stable Update before the 3.0 Release
The GIMP team just announced the release of GIMP 2.10.38, which may be the final stable release in the 2.X series. This latest version introduces important improvements, including enhanced support for tablets on Windows and a series of backports from GTK3, addressing long-standing user requests.

GIMP 2.10.38 Released - GIMP
Before this release, GIMP only supported connecting tablets on Windows through WinTab drivers rather than the newer Windows Ink drivers. Because of this, we received a number of reports about tablets having issues with unresponsive buttons, incorrect pressure sensitivity, lagging brush movement, and mid-stroke position changes.
These problems were due to a limitation of GTK2, as support for Windows Ink was implemented in GTK3 by long-time contributor Luca Bacci. For this release, Luca was gracious enough to backport this support to GTK2. You can now switch between WinTab and Windows Ink drivers (if supported by your computer) in the Preferences dialog under the Input Device settings.
