Adrien Destugues (aka 'PulkoMandy')[1], one of GrafX2's developers since 2007, told that v2.5 released[2] few hours ago, but he found one issue with "make install" script and fixed it on next commit[3]. So, all just now ready for package maintainers ;-)
On May 6, release was announced on GrafX2's thread on Pouet.net BBS.[4]
Version history[5] finally updated on May 7, 2018.
Packaging status on Repology[6] show current state of "grafx2" package in repositories of different OS (Linux-based, BSD-based, etc.).
Soon links to all known binary builds will be collected on official site on "Downloads"[7] page ;-)
There are many features for customizing[8]: keyboard shortcuts, skins, fonts, bookmarking folders, etc.
But AMAZING feature of GrafX2 is Lua-scripting and possibility to create addons![9]
One of most known free addons package is "DB's TOOLBOX"[10] produced by Richard Fhager (aka 'DawnBringer') - collection of many AWESOME Lua-scripts for different tasks. Latest version of package is "DB's TOOLBOX v1.4"[11] and was released on December of 2017!
