Random but I had just assumed Gimp updated when I updated other packages, but it turns out I'm using some comically old version (2.1?) and have never seen the newer versions.
This update seems neat, maybe it'll finally be worth upgrading to.
The version of a program depends on where you got that program from.
If the latest version is old you might be using the Ubuntu or Debian package which prioritize stability over modernity.
