We were using GIMP_UNSTABLE extensively to differentiate development from stable code. But there is actually another level of development code. Basically GIMP_UNSTABLE tells you are on the development branch, e.g. for current branches, that you are on 2.99.* versions (vs. 2.10). This depends on the minor version oddness. GIMP_RELEASE will tell you if it's a release or a in-between-releases code. This works with the micro version which must be even on release. Any odd number means you are basically using random git code. There can be any combination of GIMP_RELEASE and GIMP_UNSTABLE. For instance 2.99.12 is a release of the unstable branch, whereas 2.10.33 is development code of the stable branch. I use this first in the update code as we were using GIMP_UNSTABLE for both concepts but it made it harder to test. Now: * GIMP_DEV_VERSIONS_JSON environment variable is only available on development code, not on release (whether stable or unstable). * The weekly check limitation is also only for releases (dev code just check at every startup to quickly detect issues and regressions). * Whether to look on testing website or public website json file depends on the code being a release or not. * Finally only whether to check "DEVELOPMENT" or "STABLE" sections in the json file depends on whether we are on stable or unstable branches. |

------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3.0. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do
what you expect. 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 make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
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/
2. 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
Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer-list is oriented
to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop
GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to
subscribe.
Other discussion channels can be listed on this page when they are
moderated by a team member, such as forums.
Finally, for the real junkies, there are IRC channels devoted to GIMP.
On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is #gimp.
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
3. 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/menurc`.
Have fun,
