 We are very happy to present you with GIMP 3.0.0 RC1! š„³ This is our first release candidate for what will be GIMP 3.0.0. Now is the time for everyone to test! It is the result of years of work. I'm sure it still has many bugs (and you should report!), but we hope you will still appreciate the new version. š¤ 24 comments
 @Ray_Of_Sunlight @GIMP      @jfaulken @georgebaily @GIMP Yes, it's long overdue. The least disruptive name change would be to call it GNU IMP. @not2b @jfaulken @georgebaily @GIMP šÆ this. When they change the name, I'll boost everything with that new name. (I've - I suspect like many - used this software for well over 2 decades and it is my goto image editing app - until I switched from CaptureOne to DarkTable, I used it to add the copyright to every one of my posted photos). Until then, they will only hear radio silence from this account. The ball is in their court. @techpengu @georgebaily @GIMP Notice the order. The most common meaning is listed first. I have a lot of respect for the project and the program, but the name is not the best. I suggested GNU IMP as it then still expands to GNU Image Manipulation Program. There are other possibilities. @not2b @georgebaily @GIMP The order is still biased on region, right? English these days becomes such a global language to the point each region makes it own rules and meaning. In English Asia, Singaporean English, or Malaysian English, gimp as a slur is simply irrelevant. Forcing American or British English as the default is racist. @techpengu @not2b @georgebaily @GIMP Forget the order, NONE of the definitions have anything relevant to the program. Also please watch the film Pulp Fiction, it was a major release in the 90s with viewers across the globe, and anyone who has seen it has a horrible horrible character brought to mind by this name. @techpengu maksudnya si George, Joe itu sama aja kaya pakai kata "lonte" terus itu dijadiin nama aplikasi š. Banyak native english-speaker gak suka nama "GIMP" karena itu emang culturally gak enak didengar dan bermakna negatif. Kalau kamu mikir "artiin suatu kata dalam english = rasis" itu gak benar. Rasis darimana? Toh kalau misalkan ada app buatan bule yang pakai nama "kont*l", kamu sebagai orang indo mungkin gak bakalan suka karena bagimu culturally itu bermakna jelek. @GIMP Great, can wait to test it. The first thing I will check: does it have a circle drawing tool, finally? š @GIMP Cool ! I am using GIMP since the beginning, something around 1998! Incredible tool. |

@GIMP I wish i could test it, but besides of not having a computer, i don't know how to properly test things
