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 cod they write 😄 and write code that we can maintain.

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

Our third release candidate for upcoming #GIMP 3.2 will feature a new splash image, made by astronomer @markmccaughrean (as were the first 2 RCs' splashes),

This #JWST image shows "a protostellar outflow complex called HH288, which we nicknamed The Dragon Jet some thirty years ago when we first discovered it using ground-based telescopes".

Enjoy!

GIMP 3.0.8 released today.

A new version of the manual, including more translation work; fixes to bugs people have been kind enough to report.

Startup performance improved on many systems; colour profiles on Windows; SVG path import;
some minor UI improvements; security fixes; see link for more.

This might be the final 3.0 release before 3.2.
