GIMP software development and releases

Overview

The GIMP project has announced significant architectural updates for the upcoming GIMP 3.4 release. Key changes include a transition from the binary XCF structure to a compressed XML-based project file format to support multi-page documents, animation, and faster saving speeds. The update also aims to enhance PSD compatibility through editable text layers and improved metadata export, alongside advancements in non-destructive editing.

In a separate development, GIMP Portable version 3.2.6 has been released. This version utilizes a PortableApps.com launcher, enabling users to run the open-source image editor from portable drives across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
