Really proud of all the work everyone put into this release! We hope you enjoy all the new features and fixes.

Finishing up the news post for the upcoming #GIMP 3.2 release!

Having reviewed a year of development, it's amazing to me all the new features we've implemented (some of which I'd forgotten aren't already in the current stable 3.0 release, like the Shift + X shortcut to swap back to your prior tool).

We're aiming to release 3.2 this weekend. Hope you all like the new update!

hey everyone,

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

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 has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.

We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the code they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.

Feel free to get in touch - see https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
