    Wow great! I hope that this Fedora COPR will be updated soon to 2.9.2. I am eager to test it...

      Until non-destructive editing is in, I'll use CS6 with Playonlinux.

        Finally, some public movement.

        The port to GEGL seems to have been a herculean effort which was not very visible.

        I hope the GIMP developers consider a time base release schedule in the future - at a minimum it shows momentum and potential new contributors could be encouraged to work on smaller features/clean ups.

        (After this one, GIMP 3.0 should be quicker as a lot of the work has been done in another branch. it just needs to be cleaned up and then any UI changes added).

          When 80% to 90% of code is written by one person in spare time...

            That's a failure in leadership on the project and has been for over a decade. Meanwhile dozens of other FOSS projects have legions of developers pitching in and getting paid to do so.

              I think its unfair to call it a failure in leadership - the one person can lead him/herself.

              But visibility can help attract atleast short term volunteers maybe even just for minor bug fixing help and time based release schedule may help in that.

                If you're a 'leader' and you look back and nobody's following your 'lead' you're just taking a walk.....

                    Krita had luck with crowdfunding. Maybe that's an idea for non-destructive editing etc. Else we might have to wait and get older...
