Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com January 30 news, GIMP is the abbreviation of GNU Image processing Program (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It includes almost all the functions needed for image processing, known as PhotoShop under Linux.

CTOnews.com learned that GIMP 3.0 will revolutionize UI and the migration from GTK2 to GTK3, and after a decade of discussion, a number of other changes have been made, and this year we can finally see the release of a stable version of GIMP 3.0.

It has been a development version of GIMP 2.99 for some time, but this year we will see a candidate version of GIMP 3.0 and expect to see a stable version of GIMP 3.0.0.

GIMP developer Jehan Pag è s released the project's 2022 annual report. The report highlights this year's goals, such as completing the migration to the Meson build system, migrating from intltool to gettext, and completing multi-tier selection. At the same time, the migration of GTK3 tools has almost been completed, Wayland support continues to improve, and progress has been made in GIMP 3.0 API work.

Developers say they are planning to release GIMP 3.0.0 in 2023, or at least the first candidate version. But developers also warn that this is not an absolute commitment. This is still within the acceptable development cycle (GIMP 2.8to 2.10 took six years; the team is still in the fifth year since 2.10), and developers say they hope to achieve version 3.0 release and speed up the update cycle.
