    I’ve used Gimp for as long as I can remember, it’s one of those tools I always have installed in my workstation. It’s quirky, but I love it anyway.

    Glad to see 3.0 released. Valve, are you paying attention? Those is how it’s done.

    Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from “it’s tagged”?

    The commit shows that there was a longer with 3.0.0 tag before and now its just 3.0.0

    What does that tell us? :D

      Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from “it’s tagged”?

      Git is the most popular version control system, which lets developers track changes to software source code. A “tag” applies a name (or version number) to a specific point in the history.

      The commit shows that there was a longer with 3.0.0 tag before and now its just 3.0.0

      The link goes to a commit which is tagged GIMP_3_0_0, and shows the change made in this commit. This commit happens to change the version line in a file called meson.build - this file configures Meson, which is used to build GIMP. The version is being changed from 3.0.0-RC3+git to 3.0.0. The string “RC3” in the previous version number is short for “release candidate 3”, and “git” here means that there were additional changes since “release candidate 3” was released.

      What does that tell us? :D

      So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated, but the version being changed to 3.0.0 and this commit being tagged tells us that GIMP 3.0.0 is about to be released: official binaries and an announcement about it can be expected to appear very soon.

      The tag means no more changes will be included in 3.0.0; if some show-stopping bug were discovered now, the version number would be incremented to 3.0.1 rather than to include a fix in 3.0.0. (Technically, a tag can be updated/replaced, but by convention it is not.)

      TL;DR: GIMP 3 is out!

      It means that 3.0.0 is released. A git tag has also been made. Not sure why a release hasn’t been added to GitLab yet, as it has already been 8 hours.

      In practice, this means that GIMP version 3.0.0 (actual release, not a release candidate) has been released and can be built.

        Gimp devs will have to port it to Gtk 4 before rewriting it in Rust, because Rust Gtk 3 bindings are now obsolete lol.

    After seven years of active development

    I wonder where they got this from. The 2.x branch was first released 21 years ago.
