For any of you who work with image editing on Linux for any reason, you've probably used the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) at some point, well it's getting really close to the long-awaited 3.0 release now. It's a tool I use every day for GamingOnLinux.
Announced in a development update blog post the team noted they're about 96% of the way there towards the first Release Candidate, after development slowed over the summer due to a few developers falling ill after the Libre Graphics Meeting conference.

Quite a lot to look forward to from this upcoming release including expanded non-destructive editing, upgrades to the API for plug-ins, work towards enabling letting you easily export an image into several different sizes leaving the original untouched, colour space work, darktable integration improvements for RAW images, upgrading the documentation, lots of bug fixes and so on.
