We have talentful contributors roaming our trackers all the time.
One of the very active contributor we have lately is balooii, who also ends up being a skilled software archeologist! 🤠
One of his last fun project was building #GIMP 0.54 from 1996 in a Flatpak package (making it runnable on a modern Linux system). This was the last version using the Motif toolkit (before the GIMP authors created #GTK).

In latest news in development code for the next minor point version (future #GIMP 3.4): gradients can now be applied non-destructively (i.e. as filters which can later be edited or even removed).

why not just `m` as it is now?

thank you for the picture - so, when you type on the keyboard, there is a delay before the letters appear on the screen?

Cosa intendi esattamente con "più lento"?

What are you saying is slower exactly?

For those who wondered, yes, the “news” about GIMP finally supporting EGA 16-colour mode was an April Fool joke, along with the new memory-efficient 0-bit coluor mode.

note that GIMP has adjustment layers out of the box now (GIMP 3.0) but you have to make an empty layer group and set its layer mode (in Layers) to Pass Through. It can have any filters in any order.

GIMP has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.
We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the cod they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.
Feel free to get in touch - see https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html

Our third release candidate for upcoming #GIMP 3.2 will feature a new splash image, made by astronomer @npub1wg6…p0eg (as were the first 2 RCs' splashes),
This #JWST image shows "a protostellar outflow complex called HH288, which we nicknamed The Dragon Jet some thirty years ago when we first discovered it using ground-based telescopes".
Enjoy!

What have you made with #Gimp3 so far? Or link to work others have done with it... or say what you use #GIMP for. We want to hear from you.

GIMP supports the C version of librsvg. We never bumped the minimum requirement on purpose so that it's still possible to build with the last version of librsvg (just before it started to use Rust).

Personally i do want to see change. We don’t today have consensus in the team to make that change, so posting as GIMP_Official i can’t say what will happen yet, but we’ve agreed last yearto discuss it further. It’s more work than it might at first appear. I should have said, some things that would be affected include... rather than change... we wouldn't be rewriting all the scripts you're right, sorry.

and also change the plug-in API, rewrite 10,000+ plug-ins and scripts, courses, documentation, 70+ language translations, find hosting for > 100K downloads/day...
Changing the name is a possibility for the future; for now we have what we have. A hostile fork is always possible, but you do need a team of developers.

Small reminder for anyone who doesn't read fully (or at all) release news yet is using our #nightly #flatpak for testing latest code: you need to uninstall then reinstall the nightly flatpak with the commands given in the RC2 news:
https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/12/27/gimp-3-0-RC2-released/#flatpak
If you don't do so, you will be stuck on an ancient build without ever getting an update since we changed the AppID (it allows to see both stable and nightly versions side by side in your desktop).

Revision 1 of the Windows installer for #GIMP 2.10.38 has been uploaded: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
It fixes a few issues some people encountered because of forgotten or problematic patches we applied on GTK+.
