libgimpbase:
- Mew GimpFileChooserAction enum type: basically a near-mapping of
GtkFileChooserAction (GTK is not accessible from libgimpbase) with
an added GIMP_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_ANY.
- New GimpParamSpecFile param spec type: based off
GimpParamSpecObject, it has a default value, but also a none_ok and
action argument. This way, we can also know from the argument type
if this is a file argument meant for selecting a normal file or a
folder, or for saving into a file, or for creating a directory.
libgimp, plug-ins:
- All existing file arguments (until now using a standard
GParamSpecObject param with GFile value type) were moved to the new
GimpParamSpecFile.
- Script-Fu in particular will now generate the appropriate param type
depending on whether it is an SF-FILENAME or SF-DIRNAME.
- File arguments are now stored between runs as a URI rather than as a
path. As far as I can tell, a GFile always has a URI, but not always
a path (in particular remote file won't have a path).

3.0 Release Candidate
------------------------------
This is a release candidate for upcoming version 3.0.0 of GIMP.
This is not considered stable yet, unless testing tell us it is.
Therefore save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please report it! We are
at the verge of releasing the next major version of GIMP, so any report
helps.
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
1. Web Resources
================
GIMP's home page is at:
https://www.gimp.org/
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:
https://docs.gimp.org/
2. Contributing
===============
GIMP source code can be found at:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/
Resources for contributors:
https://developer.gimp.org/
In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some
articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:
* Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/
* GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/
* Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/
3. Discussion Channels
======================
We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
development discussion. There is more info at:
https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
also included in that page.
4. Customizing
==============
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/shortcutsrc`.
Have fun,
