Last year, GIMP 2.10 was released with an updated user interface, revamped color management, new transformation tools, and many more changes. Yesterday, the GIMP development team shared their further plans about GIMP 2.10.x and 3.0 releases. As per the announcement, GIMP 3.0 will support the latest GTK3 toolkit and have a much leaner code base. The GIMP 2.10.x releases will support HEIF images, simple horizon straightening, and new filters.
With the release of GIMP 2.10, the team also revised their release schedule. The new features will now be developed on feature branches separately and then merged to the main branch once they are ready. This essentially means that developers need not wait for a new release for years, as there will be a new release every 1-2 months.
Here is what we can expect in the GIMP 2.10.x and 3.0 releases:
GIMP 2.10.10 will be released in January/February, and we can expect further 2.10.x releases throughout the year. This version will feature faster layer groups rendering, smart colorization, and various usability improvements. They are also planning to release the first unstable version 2.99.2 once the space invasion feature is complete, eventually leading up to version 3.0.
