GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.
The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

What is string freeze?

The purpose of a String Freeze is to give translators enough time to translate all the strings in the application. During the String Freeze all user-visible strings are frozen and must not change; if they do change then some part of the translation work has been in vain.
