Development version available for testing - GNU Image Manipulation Program 3.1.2 gimp.org/news/2025/06/2… Report problems, but it’s not 3.2 yet ;) so it’s for early adopters. You can install it alongside 3.0.4. #GIMP #Gimp_3

GIMP 3.0 is out, and while you are probably already aware of all the changes in the release, there's much more to discuss: what's coming next, what's up with its funding, and whether the name will ever change. librearts.org/2025/03/gimp-3…
It’s here! GIMP 3.0 has been released - gimp.org/news/2025/03/1… A big thank you to everyone who helped: bug reports, translation, documentation, programming, designing - everyone, thank you!
.@GTKToolkit 3.24.49 has been released as a next step towards an awesome @GIMP_Official 3 release! We encourage packagers of FLOSS distributions to update their GTK package as it fixes annoying bugs. Thank you very much to GTK developers for their awesome work, as always! 💌

Great #FOSDEM presentation @zemarmot! I did sketch notes and posted them on Mastodon mastodon.social/@jeroenheijman… (Your website is missing a link to your Mastodon handle by the way, only found it here on Twitter just now 😅)
A release of @GTKtoolkit 3 happened with fixes for issues we reported/contributed patch for: crashes on Wayland (in both @kdecommunity and @gnome) + an annoying bug in Right-to-Left languages. 🥳 Dear packagers: please use GTK 3.24.48 for our RC3 (stability++ / usability++)!
For those interested in using batch commands in @GIMP_Official 3.0 I came across this plug-in, mentioned on Discord: github.com/kamilburda/bat…
#GIMP 3.0.0 RC3 is now at 83% with only 10 issues to fix! You'll notice how we are now at 49 already closed reports now, while we were at 14 to close with 38 closed reports a few days ago! 😉 Things are getting exciting again!
After careful consideration, @ZeMarmot decided to publish a third release candidate for #GIMP 3.0.0, because some fixes made changed core logic. So we'll want a bit more testing. ~14 more reports to close (of course, this number fluctuates as we progress but rhythm is good!). 🧑💻
We finally released the macOS packages of GIMP 3.0.0 RC2 (both for Intel and Apple Silicon hardware): gimp.org/downloads/deve… 🥳 Big thanks to @lukasco who has been maintaining these packages for macOS all these years! 👍 And again a very happy new year to everyone! 🎆
#GIMP 3.0.0 RC2 (second #release candidate) is released! 🎄🎁 Enjoy everyone and have a very happy holiday season! 🥳🥂 gimp.org/news/2024/12/2…
