Hi all! We are considering doing the finale release of GIMP 3.0.0 on March 9, Sunday. This feels like we may be in the finale sprint towards the arrival line! 😊 So for all translators in particular, this is the time to push last-minute updates!
Just because it entered RC phase doesn’t mean it won’t take long to release. It’s not unlikely that a lot of bugs and problems could have been reported in the RC phase, specially for such a big changelog in a popular program that many people are likely to be interested to test during the RC phase.
To be honest, I expected it would take at least 4 months (specially given how it took them years to reach this far). I’m pleasantly surprised that it was this fast.
Wait… Was it not released yet? RC1 came out probably more than a month ago

Then came RC2 and RC3.
