Can’t wait to update gimp from terribly out-dated to somewhat out-dated.
Inb4 GIMP 4 comes out in time for GTK 7
So we’ll see a release in November this year?
Wow, great. Maybe we’ll have a stable 3.0 version by 2027.
The cynicism is well deserved. They have been on 2.99 for years.
That said, I have been using 3.0RC1 for a bit. It ships packaged with my current distro and has worked well for me. This release should be quite usable even though 3.0 has not officially shipped.
I will forever associate the first initial pre release beta whatever you want to call it GIMP 3.0 to the second time Turnip was elected.
The day of that announcement was the first day that GIMP 3.0 was mentioned for release
Was it vegetable of the year?
The release notes refer to the “few remaining issues”.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/milestones/3#tab-issues
There seem to be 115 issues on there which is more than “a few”. However, only 3 are listed as blockers. But a dozen of them are crashes.
How many of these need to be fixed before the 3.0 release? Does anybody know?
@that_leaflet Great, does a PhD in graphics still needed to edit an image like a 15s work in Paint ? 😜
