GIMP 3.0 Is Hoping To Release In May

[ehansin]

Or above? We don't know anything about GTK5 yet, so for all we know, they could break some stuff. Only time will tell whether or not GTK5 will be a disruptive change or not.

Point taken - I could have left out the "or above" part, as that is sort of trying to read an as of yet undefined future. I thought I maybe read the idea was to make GTK versions upgrades easier going forward (for sure going from 3 to 4), but we don't know until we do know. But I do hope the rest of what I said is valid (including changes and cleanup unrelated to GTK itself), as should make future updates (when they even might happen) easier for GIMP.

I suspect they're going to skip that and go straight into GTK 5 or even GTK 6. Also, after Wayland deprecation, X12 might be their next reachable target.

X12? When???

Be that as it may, it's faster than the release of a stable implementation of Wayland.

Maybe you refer to a stable implementation of a Desktop Environment built on top of the Wayland protocol? Wayland being just a protocol seems to be stable.

You mean reasons and explanations. But if you mean reasons, then Wayland is just hard to implement. And that is clearly a credit to its complexity.

I didn't know GIMP 3.0 has a dependency on a game engine. Interesting. Could be a radical user interface. Perhaps we can look forward to happy days?

Gimp.org needs more funding. Even one promille from Adobe's earning should be enough to finish this task.
