  1. ------------------------------
  2. GNU Image Manipulation Program
  3. 2.99 Development Branch
  4. ------------------------------
  5. This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
  6. way to the next stable release: GIMP 3.0. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do
  7. what you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
  8. version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
  9. If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
  10. hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
  11. still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
  12. If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
  13. For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
  14. 1. Web Resources
  15. ================
  16. GIMP's home page is at:
  17. https://www.gimp.org/
  18. Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
  19. tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
  20. The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
  21. https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
  22. We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:
  23. https://docs.gimp.org/
  24. 2. Contributing
  25. ===============
  26. GIMP source code can be found at:
  27. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/
  28. Resources for contributors:
  29. https://developer.gimp.org/
  30. In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some
  31. articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:
  32. * Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/
  33. * GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/
  34. * Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/
  35. 3. Discussion Channels
  36. ======================
  37. We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
  38. development discussion. There is more info at:
  39. https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
  40. For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
  41. devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
  42. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:
  43. irc.gimp.org:6667
  44. irc.us.gimp.org:6667
  45. irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
  46. More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
  47. "discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
  48. Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
  49. also included in that page.
  50. 4. Customizing
  51. ==============
  52. The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
  53. by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
  54. gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
  55. Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
  56. can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
  57. You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
  58. editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/shortcutsrc`.
  59. Have fun,
