gThumb is an Image Viewer and Browser.

gThumb 2.9.3 is now available for download at:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gthumb/2.9/gthumb-2.9.3.tar.gz
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gthumb/2.9/gthumb-2.9.3.tar.bz2

Why?
===

gThumb 2.9.3 is mostly a bug-fix release. Several long-standing bugs have been squashed, so upgrading is recommended. Also, audio and video clips are now launched more gracefully using the default external viewer, rather than hard-coding the use of totem.
