GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.
The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.
GIMP 3.0 saw its last development release in February and had been hoping for a release in May but like their earlier release hopes they ultimately came and passed.
Here's to hoping GIMP 3.0 stable will finally be out in the coming months.
