Reading between the lines in that warning should tell you the most important thing you should know about the latest GIMP 2.99.6 development release: GIMP 3.0 is nowhere near finished, and there is a long way to go before it is. We figured it’s better to do this now rather than ending up stuck with a bad interface for the years to come (as stability will be ensured once GIMP 3 will be out).
We apologize for this, though this is the price of making plug-ins for a program in-development. However, if the automatic detection is not successful, ensure you get the correct one for your architecture.įor more details, you can refer to the official announcement.Warning: Many of the third-party plug-ins already ported for GIMP 2.99.2 or 2.99.4 will end up broken, and there is a high chance they will break again in further development releases until we stabilize the API.
