PS, 5-stars for the excellent work by developers once this was reported, to fix the problem in a little over 24 hours. If you don't or can't get the newer build with the '-1' suffix from MacUpdate, go direct here and download:

Also, note that 'About GIMP' from menu will report same 2.10.8 version number for either build, so don't go by that. Not sure when or if MacUpdate will recognize or pull the newer build, as both are still 2.10.8. The original build that crashed is named 'gimp-2.10.8-x86_64.dmg' without the '-1' suffix. Initial release of GIMP 2.10.8 on Nov 9 crashed on earlier versions of macOS (10.9, 10.10, 10.11) at startup. We would usually try to avoid doing this within a stable release but the conditions (lack of contributors) is such that it is hard to avoid. macOS support officially bumped to macOS 10.12 (Sierra).Drop codepage conversion, use UTF-8 for language files.KDE portal moved as last fallback after the X implementation (when running on X) and Freedesktop portal, because KDE is also starting to block API calls for security reasons.GNOME shell implementation dropped because the D-Bus API has been restricted to core components for security reasons, thus our plug-in was failing.PBM: large file export now always works and does not depend anymore on the platform's long int size.Fixed loading of merged image of a 16 bit per channel RGBA PSD file with the alpha channel opaque.Fixed loading of CMYK images without layers.Fixed loading of CMYK PSD files without alpha.Skip sanity check for mask of rendered layers as some layer mask have invalid dimensions in such cases.Many robustness improvements and other fixes to the metadata plug-ins.Comparing XMP tags with equivalent IPTC tags with multiple values, each value is compared individually, instead of comparing the list as a whole.XMP array tags of type BAG and SEQ are now on separate lines.metadata-viewer: improve how XMP tags with multiple values are handled and shown (now each value on a separate line for better readability).
