GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.
The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.
Fuck yeah! Go GIMP! Also announced on Mastodon fwiw:

I’m super excited about 3.0 🪇
port from GTK2 to GTK3
Migrating from an already rooten toolkit to a toolkit that is dead since a few years.
Nice.
Isn’t this the version where they pinky promised there will be CMYK support?
<ducks, runs>
okay I’ll bite, what does “string freeze” mean here?
They’ve committed to not changing any displayed text (“strings”), so that translators have time to translate everything.
can they unfreeze the name?
