Hopefully this helps update everyone who was wondering about @gimp_official 3.0 status - we're working hard on it. If you're interested in helping with updating the help manual or bug-testing, please let us know - the more the merrier!

So we now passed under the bar of 10 reports opened, to handle for GIMP 3.0 RC1 to go live! 🥳 The release is getting so close that we can feel it in the air… 💨

#GIMP gets all sorts of contributors: code, design, packaging, bug triaging… download mirrors too. 55 of them across the world (esp. in Europe and North America)! Thanks to all our mirrors! 💌 Map is generated by #MirrorBits, backend software handling download redirection.

98% till GIMP 3.0 RC1! 🥳 Yesterday in particular a huge milestone was passed with the last major API update (though I'm still looking at details in case of forgotten API issues)!

Currently working on a *very exciting* news post for GIMP...!

It turns out we *can* count to 3! :) Really happy that more people can try out all the cool features that have been added to the development version of GIMP, and looking forward to getting more feedback from users.

Happy 29th birthday, GIMP! 🎂🎉 On 1995-11-21, #GIMP was born as a General Image Manipulation Program 🖼️🎨, student project in the University of California 🧑‍🎓. 29 years later, it is more independent than ever as a worldwide Community, Free Software project!

Oh and if you wonder about the image behind my previous screencast: it's the next splash image for GIMP 3.0.0 RC2, still contributed by Sevenix 🧑‍🎨 in #CreativeCommons by 4.0. 😍 🌆

We have 2 talks at FOSDEM @[email protected] this year: one with our hat of GIMP maintainers; other is a WIP screening + live music (AMMD Coo[r]p) of ZeMarmot animation film + talk as a keynote talk! 😱 Both on Sunday morning (in main room: Janson). See you there! patreon.com/posts/gimp-and…

For those interested in using batch commands in GIMP 3.0 I came across this plug-in, mentioned on Discord: github.com/kamilburda/bat…

Great #FOSDEM presentation @[email protected]! I did sketch notes and posted them on Mastodon mastodon.social/@jeroenheijman… (Your website is missing a link to your Mastodon handle by the way, only found it here on Twitter just now 😅)
