The first unstable version of the graphics editor has been released GIMP based on GTK3.
Main changes:
- GTK3-based interface with built-in support for Wayland and High Density Displays (HiDPI).
- Hot plug support for graphics tablets: Plug in your Wacom and keep working, no restart needed.
- Multi-selection of layers: you can move, group, add masks, apply color labels, etc.
- Massive code refactoring.
- New Plugin API.
- Transition to GObject Introspection and the ability to write plugins in Python 3, JavaScript, Lua and Vala.
- Improved color management support: the original color space is no longer forgotten when using filters that work in other color spaces (LCH, LAB, etc.).
- Faster rendering by caching the projection with screen filters applied and selection box.
- Optional Meson support for assembly.
Several more releases are expected in the 2.99.x series, after which the team will release a stable version 3.0.
Note to builders from source: when packaging the tarball, the maintainer overlooked that a newer version of GEGL had not yet been released and left a dependency on the version from git master. You can safely use GEGL 0.4.26 after correcting the microversion number in configure.ac.
