Adding to the open-source Christmas excitement this year was the release of GIMP 2.99.4 that puts this image editor one step closer to the long-awaited GIMP 3.0...

GIMP ToolKit 4.0 is out ! GIMP 3.0 is close…

I could get used to these 2.99.xx releases being a regular thing.

The way I heard it explained the jump from GTK3 to GTK4 is much less a jump than to GTK3 because all the legacy when GIMP had its old toolkit built in.

Time to cut the fat. I hope to see more more a Client + Server / Client + Lib relationship with the Interface and GEGL/Engine being as separate and simple as possible. Cut that fat out. The GTK3 is BEAUTIFUL compared to v2.

Flathub beta should help here. I think they will also have regular pre-releases now as they plan to be read for a final release before end of next year.

This is great work.
GTK 3 suits GIMP very nicely.
I have noticed several performance improvements in the daily builds.

I look forward to GIMP Nukem 4, someday.

Still waiting for non destructive editing.

Picture me puzzled as hell. What fat do you expect the developers to cut, exactly?

GIMP Forever.

GIMP Forever.

Going by that reference, GIMP Forever means it takes forever to be released. Nah, I'll stay with my good old GIMP 3D.
