Version 3.08 is a so-called service release and contains only bug fixes:

Fixed:

• Pasting an image from Office 2003 applications now works (eg Excel 2003 graphs).
• Some dialogs were not indicating which command button was the default. These buttons now have a highlight to indicate which one will be activated if the user presses Enter or Space.
• Some minor keyboard navigation issues with task dialogs
• Performance issue with the File->Acquire submenu taking a long time to appear
• Window activation issue when the Print wizard was finished / closed
• Crash when there was 1 image open and the user pressed Ctrl+Q and then Ctrl+W
• Minor performance issue if the user had 1 modified image open and then canceled the “Save changes?” dialog
• Misbehaving filetype factory implementations (plugins) will no longer cause a crash
