One month back I had written about a content aware image rescaling technology. And I hoped that this technology will be incorporated in Gimp in the future. Well we didn't have to wait that long.
A liquid rescale GIMP plugin has already been released and you can download the source as well as binaries for a variety of Linux distributions and for Windows at the following location. The download link of the Windows version of the GIMP plugin does not seem to work so I found an alternate location here.
You can download and install this plugin and take it for a run.
Once you install the plugin, you can access it in GIMP by navigating to layer -> liquid rescale.
