So it's even improving. :-) As for G'MIC, it is available for GIMP 2.99 too, though maybe not on all platforms, and it probably "breaks" at nearly every dev release (as we progressively change the API here and there). So there is indeed often a short span of time where it's non-available. Of course, not advising you to use 2.99 either as it's still marked as "unstable" releases (so to be used carefully), but just saying that these 2 points are not hugely broken and there is no doubt to me that they will will be available with GIMP 3.0 (and no API break for a long time then!). :-) Jehan > ĸen > -- > Greater love hath no woman for the premiership than to lay down the > life of her bosom friend in an attempt to save her own skin. > -- Andrew Rawnsley > -- ZeMarmot open animation film http://film.zemarmot.net Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/ZeMarmot/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/zemarmot Tipeee: https://www.tipeee.com/zemarmot _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
