GIMP 3.1.2 Released As First Step Toward GIMP 3.2

([Free Software] 3 Hours Ago GIMP 3.1.2)


GIMP 3.1.2 was just released as the first development version on the road toward GIMP 3.2 stable.

GIMP 3.2 is to be the next feature release following the long-in-development [1]GIMP 3.0 release that happened back in March after being a decade in development in porting to GTK3 and many other improvements to this open-source image editing program that is one of the few viable alternatives to Adobe Photoshop.

GIMP 3.1.2 brings theme colors for Brush / Font / Palette, support to match the Windows and Linux OS theme system colors, a new "overwrite" paint mode, a new text outline option, non-destructive editing enhancements, CMYK improvements, and various file format handling improvements. Among the file format work is initial support for exporting to PSB Photoshop Large Format files. Complementing the existing JPEG 2000 import support is also GIMP support for exporting to JPEG 2000 image files.

"Oh, he [a big dog] hunts with papa," she said. "He says Don Carlos [the
dog] is good for almost every kind of game. He went duck hunting one time
and did real well at it. Then Papa bought some ducks, not wild ducks but,
you know, farm ducks. And it got Don Carlos all mixed up. Since the
ducks were always around the yard with nobody shooting at them he knew he
wasn't supposed to kill them, but he had to do something. So one morning
last spring, when the ground was still soft, he took all the ducks and
buried them." "What do you mean, buried them?" "Oh, he didn't hurt them.
He dug little holes all over the yard and picked up the ducks in his mouth
and put them in the holes. Then he covered them up with mud except for
their heads. He did thirteen ducks that way and was digging a hole for
another one when Tony found him. We talked about it for a long time. Papa
said Don Carlos was afraid the ducks might run away, and since he didn't
know how to build a cage he put them in holes. He's a smart dog."
