GIMP.org:

We haven't had any updates for a few months but the wait is hopefully worth it! We've got many nice new features, optimizations, and stability fixes in this release!

Version 2.10.10 highlights include:

  • Line art detection in the Bucket Fill tool for comic artists
  • Various usability improvements in transformation tools
  • Sample Merged option added to the Heal tool and fixed in the Clone tool
  • Parametric brushes now have 32-bit per channel precision
  • Easier brush and pattern creation workflow
  • On-canvas layer selection
  • Faster saving/exporting and layer groups rendering
  • Initial DDS support
  • Many improvements in GEGL, the image processing engine

GIMP, the software that might have taken over the world if not for a fatal branding decision...

    Various parts of the file-writing code were made more robust by not overwriting the file when an error occured. In particular XCF saving and exporting to various image formats should be safer now.

    Wow, 23 years to save files without destroying previous data in case of the saving process going wrong. Better late than never.

    BTW, the name does not matter for non English speakers, and I haven't heard it is more used among them than among English speakers. The issue(s) about lack of traction must be in other things.
