Isn't there gimp 2.8 by now? Or are there things that prevent that version from being ported?
Yes, there is 2.8 out, but currently I only have 2.6. It was hard work and needed a lot of time (months, if you add the development time of the dependencies).
For 2.8 some dependencies are missing. They are not too difficult to solve, but the main reason for releasing 2.6 first is, that I expect 2.8 will be too slow for current OS4 systems. It depends much on GEGL. In parts 2.6 has also support for that and it is dead slow.

Oh, and are you capable of fixing the problems with the canon canoscan lide 110/200 not working? Or are there newer versions of xsane backgroudn that fixes these issues?
Oh, waiting for next release.
There is a new version of the backends available (1.0.23). When I have some time, I will give it a try. Maybe it works with this version. But I'm afraid, I can't fix it without having a Lide 110/200 here.

An updated AmiCygnix is surely badly needed too!!
Go on then, and I will save a bit for donating something to such AmiCygnix update when it will be ready!
Uuh - did you have serious problems?
(donations are always welcome

Any chance to see some 2D hardware acceleration based on the new AmigaOS4 compositing functions?
The chances are low, sorry

p.s. I too would love Gimp 2.8 because of its ability to work in a single window mode. Sadly it relies on GTK 2.6 and I believe Edgar is going to release (from the AmiCygnix readme) "Support of programs compiled for GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x".
As said above, Gimp 2.8 is possible but maybe unusable. Gimp 2.6 will be released first.
