ANNOUNCE: GIMP 1.3.15

[Sven Neumann]

Hi GIMPers,

there's a new development snapshot of The GIMP for you to play
with. Grab a copy from

 ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.15/

or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html.

I suggest you also upgrade to Pango 1.2.3 and GTK+ 2.2.2 which have
just been released since there are some important bug-fixes in these
releases which also affect The GIMP.

Here's a short summary of changes. For a more complete coverage,
please consult the ChangeLog:
