Additionally, the update introduces improvements to non-destructive filters, including the ability to track individual filter edits and the inclusion of filter names in the undo history, alongside fixes for crashes. Other minor adjustments have been made, such as resolving a Help button issue on the About Dialog, fixing a bug related to .ICO file imports, and correcting a space bar functionality issue in Canvas Interactions. The Difference Cloud filter now includes a graphical user interface for easier configuration, and the Plug-in Browser will display all available plug-ins again. The Screenshot plug-in has been updated to use radio buttons for options, reducing the number of clicks needed to adjust settings.
This release comes just two months after GIMP 3.0, marking the second micro-release in the series. The focus remains on fixing bugs and incorporating user feedback, with no major new features introduced in this update. However, the development team continues to work on enhancements for future versions, specifically GIMP 3.2, which will include new features on separate branches.
In summary, GIMP 3.0.4 enhances functionality and user experience while addressing critical issues, demonstrating the developers’ commitment to improving the software based on user input and ongoing development efforts
GIMP 3.0.4 released
The minor update, GIMP 3.0.4, addresses bugs and regressions. The release encompasses corrections for various bugs, addresses regressions, and enhances the UI/UX, build, AppImage, and Windows installer. The update also resolves multiple issues associated with changing or disabling the primary monitor. Font specialists Idriss Fekir and Liam Quin have enhanced text systems, resulting in faster font loading speeds during start-up. Non-destructive filters have undergone updates and enhancements, featuring the inclusion of the filter name in the undo history upon application to an image, the ability to track individual filter edits, and the resolution of crashes. Additional minor adjustments consist of resolving an issue with the Help button on the About Dialog, addressing the ZDI-CAN-26752 bug related to .ICO imports, and correcting a bug concerning the space bar's adherence to the action setting in Canvas Interactions. The Difference Cloud filter now features a graphical user interface for configuration, and the Plug-in Browser will once again display all available plug-ins. The Screenshot plug-in employs radio buttons rather than a drop-down menu for its options, thereby minimizing the number of clicks required to adjust settings.
