  Back from vacation (and after sick days after it! 🤒), we are back at: 1/ Working on #ZeMarmot production; 2/ Working on the next generation of file format for #GIMP (which will bring all kind of fancy features). More detailed news soon… 🤭 #devLog #productionLog

  These last few days, I've finally started to work on my big project for @GIMP@floss.social 3.4, which is our new format, which will trigger auto-update, very quick saves (even for big projects), more maintainable and extendable save/load code, but also much more. E.g. it will be a basis for our animation support too. This work has been very smooth so far, which is not surprising since the architecture choices are what make it easier. To be continued…

  I just merged a nice patch by Richard Allen for @GIMP@floss.social's JPEG import plug-in. With a recent enough libjpeg-turbo (most used JPEG lib), loading 8-bit JPEG through the 12-bit pipeline brings huge quality benefits. It comes at the expense of all JPEG being loaded as 16-bit per channel, which means bigger files. Yet the qualitative difference is making this change a no-brainer. Loading as 8bpc then converting to 16bpc, you already lost data (unlike loading directly as 16bpc). #GIM...

  RE: https://nutmeg.social/@chris/116680244100460649 What's happening here?! A police box in space? Could it… bigger on the inside?! 😱 And wait, what's this about Babl fishes? Is someone hitchhiking? I don't understand what's going on! 🤪

  RE: https://post.lurk.org/@lgm/116396857660090749 The @chaoswesttv teams have always impressed us, ever since we first met them at a #GUADEC quite a few years ago! And again last year at #LGM. The quality and skills they are showing is impressive and surpasses many professionals in the field of live video recording/editing/streaming… 🤩

  I finally published my report on Wilber Week 2023, @GIMP's contributor meeting, which we had at @Blender's HQ this year, together with some @inkscape contributors as well! Enjoy! https://www.gimp.org/news/2023/06/29/wilber-week-2023/

  🥳 Happy ㉊th birthday, @GIMP ! 🎂 In 1995, November 21, a young US student, Peter Mattis, announces a program on some Linux newsgroups, called "The GIMP: the General Image Manipulation Program". 2 years later, Spencer Kimball (other co-author) and Peter graduate and leave. Thanks to the #GPL license, the community take over development. 30 years later… The project is thriving, with contributors from all over the world, and maintainers from Germany, Norway, France, Korea, Nethe...

  The @GIMP project got a very cute fan mail through actual post 💌, with a donation. We would love to share a scan, but it's not cool to share private messages without consent, so we won't. It is though very heart-warming! 🥰 We have had some at #ZeMarmot too across the years, and actual fan mail, and even more when it's through physical letters, is always extremely cool to receive! 🤗

  RE: https://floss.social/@GIMP/116229009692048437 We released #GIMP 3.2.0 today! Quite an exhausting week with usual last-minute issues! E.g. the CI infra suddenly failed yesterday! Fortunately admins were prompt to fix as always (still I went to bed at 1AM)! Then issues in Windows packaging, which testers didn't notice with early test packages (of course, only noticed by someone just after the tagging! 😱). Yet all in all, first time I end the release around 7PM after having started th...

  Someone (thanks @CmykStudent for discovering it!) shared this meme… about #ZeMarmot's Jehan, as @GIMP maintainer "hero developer"! 😅😎😱🤣 We were unsure what to do of it. In the end, just sharing it… for the fun. I should say "Thank you", I guess? 🤷🤗 https://programmerhumor.io/linux-memes/this-is-jehan-pages-the-top-developer-behind-gimp-a-free-open-source-photo-editor-adobe-executives-hate-jehan-because-of-his-hard-work-adobe-lost-millions-of-dollars-...

  Quite last minute, yesterday evening, I (Jehan from #ZeMarmot and @GIMP maintainer) answered to the call for feedback by the @EUCommission on the "European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy". Here is my response: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems/F33370679_en
