The transition from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3.0 took two decades


The slow and steady climb to 3.0 culminates in the most modernized version of GIMP yet.

Per the original blog post, "If user feedback reveals only small and easy to fix bugs, we will solve those problems and issue the result as GIMP 3.0. However, [...] If larger bugs and regressions are uncovered that require more substantial code changes, we may need to publish a second release candidate for further testing." The new interface is still quite recognizable to classic GIMP users but has been considerably smoothed out and is far more scalable to high-resolution displays than it used to be.
