Libre Arts looks
forward to progress in a long list of creative-art projects this year.

2022 was a really busy year for the [GIMP]: late binding for CMYK,
text outlines, Align/Distribute revamp, floating selections gone,
linked layers replaced with layer sets, all the file format support
updates… Phew!

There is very little left to do before version 3.0 can be
released. The last major change is rewriting the menus code because
the old way was obsoleted in GTK3. The team also started saying no
to major new features. Most recently, they moved vector layers from
3.0 to 3.0.2. That would be one hell of a minor update!
