GIMP's `master` branch string freeze
discourse.gnome.org
Hey all! This time, it really looks like we are gonna make it for the GIMP 3 release on Sunday (with 98% completion of the milestone and only 3 remaining reports in there), unless we really discover some very ugly last-second issue. This means that the next 3 days are the days where translators want to push updates if you want to see them available in our first release in the v3 series! 😄

    So if I understand non-destructive editing correctly GIMP will store a sequence of transformation instructions (basically 1 for each undo/redo operation) rather than overwriting the actual pixels each time? Ie no matter how much editing you do, the original input data is always preserved?

      For the stuff that supports non-destructive editing, yes. It also allows you to easily update the transformation.

      Unfortunately not everything supports it yet. Notably, resizing and rotating do not. Hopefully it will be added soon.
