GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a
freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching,
image composition and image authoring.
</_p>
<_p>
It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint
program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online
batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an
image format converter, etc.
</_p>
<_p>
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be
augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about
anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything
from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation
procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is available for Linux,
Microsoft Windows and OS X.

<release version="2.10.2" date="2018-05-20">
<description>
<_p>
This second release in the GIMP 2.10 series, so soon after
2.10.0, is mostly the usual bug-fixing version after a major
release, with a few dozen bugs fixed.
</_p>
<_p>
It also features a new plug-in for the support of the HEIF
format, both for importing and exporting, as well as 2 new
filters: "Spherize" and "Recursive Transform". These are
nice examples of our relaxed feature policy in stable micro
releases.

<release version="2.10.0~rc2" date="2018-04-17" type="development">
<description>
<_p>
In this second release candidate before GIMP 2.10.0, while
debugging is still a prime target, a new focus has been put on
speed and optimization in order to provide a smoother painting
experience. Bigger changes are:
</_p>
<ul>
<_li>Major core optimizations for painting and display,
including parallelized painting code.</_li>
<_li>Symmetries are now preserved in XCF files (saved as image
parasites).</_li>
<_li>"Light" and "Dark" themes rewritten from scratch to get
rid of various usability issues. "Lighter" and "Darker" themes
removed.</_li>
<_li> New GimpToolGyroscope on-canvas control, currently used
for the Panorama Projection filter. The widget provides
on-canvas interaction for 3D rotation (yaw, pitch, roll).</_li>
<_li>Plug-in debugging improved to output stack traces from
plug-ins with --stack-trace-mode command line option not only
on receiving signals but also on warnings and critical errors
when "fatal-warnings" debug key is set.</_li>
</ul>
