[Ipe-announce] Ipe 7.2.25 is out

[Otfried Cheong]

Ipe 7.2.25 is now available in source form, as a Windows binary, and as Linux packages on the Ipe homepage at http://ipe.otfried.org.

There are quite a number of smaller improvements and bug-fixes - I should have released this much earlier.

I cannot build MacOS binaries right now - they'll be provided in July.  

Enjoy,
  Otfried
