Wow, great. Maybe we’ll have a stable 3.0 version by 2027.
The cynicism is well deserved. They have been on 2.99 for years.
That said, I have been using 3.0RC1 for a bit. It ships packaged with my current distro and has worked well for me. This release should be quite usable even though 3.0 has not officially shipped.
Can’t wait to update gimp from terribly out-dated to somewhat out-dated.
Inb4 GIMP 4 comes out in time for GTK 7
Can you finally draw a circle?
You mean an infinite polyhedron? Are you out of your mind?
Isn’t this what the included gfig or whatever plugin is called?
Circles aren’t even real, man. Its just a state of mind.
They have shape tools on the roadmap for this free image manipulation app, until then we’ll have to use the two-step method of stroking a circular selection or use a more dedicated drawing app.
In any case GIMP 3.0 is a huge rewrite under the hood and seems to be attracting more contributors now, which is a good sign.
More contributors is great. Whilst I think sticking to C will always limit its outreach somewhat I think the reliance on GTK2 was probably even worse for anyone brave enough to dive into that spaghetti mess.
So we’ll see a release in November this year?
I will forever associate the first initial pre release beta whatever you want to call it GIMP 3.0 to the second time Turnip was elected.
The day of that announcement was the first day that GIMP 3.0 was mentioned for release
Was it vegetable of the year?
