> On the negative side, the notes say that tablet support (such as wacom) might be broken in 2.8.
I have a Wacom tablet, which I use intensively in GIMP-2.8, and have not found any issue so far; perhaps some models work, and mine is one of them, or perhaps there is some missing feature that I never tried to use.

I did some searches now and I found people saying that pressure sensitivity is what's broken for tablets in 2.8.
Have you (or others here) encountered that problem?
(I use a Wacom Bamboo "CTH-460")

On my OpenSUSE 12.1 installation with 2.8rc1 from home:MargueriteSu:gimp-2.7, my intuos3 works fine. On Windows, it's broken.
(I should compile gimp, of course, just to track its progress but gimp always needs a newer glib or gtk than I have, so that's why I only checked the rc.)

From what I read, it seems the Windows issue is a driver problem, and the pressure sensitivity issue is a separate problem.
I also found a post saying that someone is working on packaging gimp 2.8 for Debian unstable, so I'll wait for that. I can live without pressure sensitivity anyway.

I own a "Wacom Pen & Touch" (medium size, don't know the exact model number) and can confirm that pressure sensitivity works flawlessly on Fedora 16.
