                   ------------------------------

                   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/



We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:



        https://docs.gimp.org/



2. Contributing

===============



GIMP source code can be found at:



	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/



Resources for contributors:



        https://developer.gimp.org/



In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some

articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:



* Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/

* GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/

* Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/



3. 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



For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)

devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).

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



More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above

"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.

Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are

also included in that page.



4. 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/shortcutsrc`.



Have fun,
