Today we released a third release candidate for GIMP 3.2; we are moving towards a final GIMP 3.2 release, so if you find any problems, please report them! There’s a link to Gimp Bugs near the bottom of www.gimp.org.

NOTE this is not yet the final stable 3.2 for production use, it’s for testing & early adopters.

@GIMP Haiku build so far good. Thanks on the update!

@begasus @GIMP happy to see gtk running in Haiku! Wondering if latest gtk versions are also maintained for this OS 🤔

@pancake @begasus as with most software for Haiku, i think gtk and gimp ports are done by patching the upstream sources, not maintained upstream. So you’ll have to look maybe on the Haiku OS wiki or forum.

@GIMP @pancake Patches are indeed not sent upstream (not mine although I try to keep them on par with new releases so far) but can be found at:

https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports

For GTK, we do have GTK4, but it's not used by much at the moment, needs more testing. Mostly things that need libadwaita conflict a bit with the UI in Haiku.

@begasus @pancake don’t worry, we’re still on gtk3 for GIMP 🙂

Patches are usually welcome if they don’t hurt other platforms (!) & e.g. not too haiku-specific, so we can maintain the code.

@GIMP @pancake I did check presence of GTK4 in the source before building it :)

I could have a look at upstreaming the ones for GIMP, some are Haiku specific so don't harm other OS's, some need some more work to ifdef some places instead of disabling them atm. Still have to give credits to the original patcher though.
Some of the patch parts are obvious to me, some are not that clear (no developer here), so a review is still required. 😇

@begasus @pancake probably we'd need someone who understood the puprpose of each change and what it did and how and why :) to look at the patches first - we have limited resources. I don’t think we’d want #ifdef HAIKU_OS in the code, but e.g. a feature test for a working vfork() and a patch to work round problems with alternatives sounds promising to me.

@GIMP @pancake To be continued :) (just not enough time in one day) 🤣

@begasus this white border around the window is also another thing that anoys me with qt on wayland. I wish i could just write gtk4 everywhere

@pancake it's the biggest deal-breaker atm for Haiku (libadwaita), for the most parts Qt is pretty good (mainstream Qt in Haiku is still 6.7.2, but experimenting with 6.10.2 here), so far with pretty good results, and respects the UI in Haiku. (Kudos to the writer of the Qt plugin for Haiku) :)
