On the OSX downloads for GIMP 2.8 page, I only found downloads for X86, not for Apple Silicon. I tried installing 2.8.22 for X86 on a virtual machine with Rosetta. It launches, but crashes whenever I do File, New, OK. Also tried (with a PNG image on the clipboard) File, Create, From Clipboard, again resulting in a crash.
I’m not going to file an issue against 2.8.22, of course. Would it be possible to add the Silicon versions to the download archive?
(update: I found a relevant issue that relieves my need to test whether there’s a regression from 2.8.22, so now it’s just a nice to have in case I need to test something in the future)
