Latest Version of GIMP

I am learning the layers tutorial in GIMP and downloaded GIMP 2.8.4.

I have noticed that this version does not have "merge visible layers" under the Layer menu and also does not have the "wavelet-denoise" under the Filters-enhance menu.

Are these separate plug ins I have to install or do I need to install the latest version of GIMP, which I think is 2.8.10 is that right?

My computer is windows 7

Thank you

Why not download the update and see? http://www.gimp.org/downloads

From http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-merge-layers.html

6.19. Merge Visible Layers

The Merge Visible Layers command merges the layers which are visible into a single layer. Visible layers are those which are indicated on the Layers dialog with an “eye” icon.

[Note] Note
With this command, the original visible layers disappear. With the New From Visible command, a new layer is created at top of the stack and original visible layers persist.

Windows 7? I thought GIMP is primarily for the Linux OS.

Thanks will try that. It just seemed strange how those settings where not on the menu.
