After the first round of community feedback, we’re happy to share the second release candidate for GIMP 3.0! People gave us really helpful feedback from the first release candidate and we were able to fix a lot of bugs.
Weren’t they gonna change the name or something?
A few years ago there was some news about a fork called glimpse, but nobody cared so it died quickly.
It was more than just a name and brand change, such as a workflow and look similar to Photoshop. And they had plans to introduce new functionality.
Maybe they should have put that more into the focus, but everything that I had read about it back then was always only about the name change.
According to the roadmap at https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/ its not planned to change the name.
There was a separate project that changed the name to “Glimpse”, and then got too many other great ideas for the few people they had to actually get somewhere and it dissolved.
