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.

okay I’ll bite, what does “string freeze” mean here?
They’ve committed to not changing any displayed text (“strings”), so that translators have time to translate everything.

Place your bets, are we getting GIMP 3 before 2025?
If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.
I’m on Slackware so I won’t be getting it this decade 😅
Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)
Isn’t this the version where they pinky promised there will be CMYK support?
<ducks, runs>
Fuck yeah! Go GIMP! Also announced on Mastodon fwiw:

I’m super excited about 3.0 🪇
Will there be a big party where we can be baked
There will be grilled bell peppers.
can they unfreeze the name?
Gimp 4.0 is on schedule for a 2040 release at this point
I’m so excited! Will it not suck completely? Maybe!
