GIMP 2.3.17 is a snapshot of current development towards GIMP 2.4. The source code can be downloaded from the usual places.

Unfortunately a rather bad bug has sneaked into this release. We encourage you to give it a try nevertheless, but you should expect frequent crashes. The 2.3.18 release will follow soon.
