This is a short development update on our progress towards the first release candidate for GIMP 3.0. We recently reached the string freeze milestone. What this means is that there will be no more changes in user-facing text (like GUI labels and messages) so that translators can work on the final translations for the 3.0 release.

I hope Gimp 3.0 stable will happen before the heat-death of the universe.

I hope too, because there are plans post v3.0: https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/

Full CMYK support? Maybe . . . ? 🙏

It's still not full CMYK. Only import and export gets true CMYK support, and editing is still RGB (but with CMYK print preview). They said full support is planned for the future, as they have too much to worry about at the moment. With 3.0 they lay the ground for future features.

Well, at least there's Krita . . .

Full interface overhaul? Maybe . . . ? 🙏
