It is also possible to build GIMP without this feature by passing the--disable-check-update argument to the configure script.
Work on our continuous integration goes forward. We now implementedautomatic compilation of the main development branch both with thelegacy autotools build system and the new meson one. We also producean alternative build with the Clang compiler (additionally to the GNUcompiler gcc).
Moreover, for cross-platform development, we now produce Windows builds,both for 32-bit and 64-bit, cross-compiled with thecrossroad/Mingw-w64 tools.
All these automatic builds allow us to catch early on specific bugswhich may affect only certain configurations or platforms.
We hope it could also attract new developers wishing to dabble incontributing. Looking at compilation warnings and trying to fix them maybe a very good first step into GIMP code. It would be much lessoverwhelming than actually trying to dive into our huge code from scratch.
If you are interested, look into our CIpipelines and look atthe last ones (preferably the master branch), then into one of thevarious compilation jobs. We will be waiting for yourpatches!
Command to screenshot on windows. There have been several improvements in GEGL since the releasethat accompanied GIMP 2.10.14:
- Fixed potential data-corruption/crash in the tile-swap back-end on Windows(the fix has already been made available in an updated installer for 2.10.14),and improved tile-queuing speed.
- The GEGL core now avoids running more thread jobs than there arepixels to process.
- The teardown of buffer caches is now faster when bounding box shrinks.
- In-place processing now only happens if region of interest fits ininput abyss.
- Edge handling was improved for gegl:distance-transform operation
The babl library got build fixes, improved host CPU detection,macOS-specific fixes, and Clang warning squelches.

As usual, we thank lillolollo, nmat, and Michael Schumacher for triagingbug reports, and Julien Hardelin for keeping the user manual up to date.
Our main objective is still completing the GTK3 port and releasing GIMP 3.0.This will take a while.
One of the ideas we are also exploring is improving the defaultsingle-window layout and introducing named workspaces streamlinedfor common use cases such as general editing, web design, digitalphotography, painting etc.
Starbound best combat pet. If you customized your default GIMP layout, we encourage you to posta screenshot and tell us about your use cases for GIMP that affected thiscustomization. You can do that eitheron Twitter or in the mailing listfor users.
Once we have a representative amount of samples for each common use case,we will analyze the data and see if we can create default workspaces thatyou can further tweak to your liking.
For the time being, don't forget you can donate to the project and personallyfund several GIMP developers, as a way to giveback, and to accelerate the development of GIMP.
