GIMP 2.99.14 Released As Another Step Toward GIMP 3.0

[rmfx]

Congratulations for the GIMP developers. I'm proudly using it since 2000 for professional use, even remembering the 1.2 version release.

What type of professional use?
doing a company icon for their accountant’s pdf or doing art for known projects with it ?

I wonder what features specifically are still in need of porting.

I think the big one that is left is the menu system - they want to port it from the current one that is deprecated to the new one that AFAIK is also present in gtk4.

Other than that last I heard they still wanted to finish the new plugin API (there has been a big break due to not only gtk3 -> gtk4 but also python 2 -> python 3 and any other technologies that have been replaced over the past decade).

How can I make a selection and then nudge the contents of the selection?

I still maintain a personal copy of Gimp from around that era on OpenBSD. Fast and snappy! Excellent project; even back then.

(Plus all the newer features that have been released since are far beyond my "MS Paint-style" skillset)

I have a bunch of script-fu scripts from 1999 that I'm tempted to forward port to 3.0 once it comes out. Probably a big port. They've been generating startup warnings for ten years or so

You should read the linked release note which has their development dashboard and a summary of the details.

Congrats to the GIMP team, once again they have managed to add a myriad of new features and worthwhile improvements to both UI and various tools. I tried some test projects with it and it's ready for me to use in my work once the resynthesizer plugin is ported.

Only 50 more steps (development releases) to go!
