GIMP 2.99.8 is here but what’s happened to 3.0? If only stuff would not break all the time

GIMP 2.99.8, a development version with many new features, has been released, but 3.0 is taking its time due to system changes that break things. The GNU Image Manipulation Program is a full-featured bitmap image editor with a long history, the first public release being January 1996. Version 1.0 came in June 1998.
