Our third release candidate for #GIMP 3.0.0 is now published: https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/02/10/gimp-3-0-RC3-released/
Enjoy everyone!
@GIMP I hope there will finally be a simple tool for creating shapes, but I don't see this on roadmap of the project
@whiteforest @GIMP Hi! In fact, we have a merge request for vector layers (which would enable a shape tool). It's been worked on by several people, and we're hoping to finish it for the next release after 3.0.

It **is** on the roadmap and have been for some time now. See: https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/#non-destructive-layer-types
There is just an order to things. Vector layers first (which is already well in progress), then a shape tool.
@GIMP and @CmykStudent , thank you for your answers, I didn't know about this, so I'm glad to hear that, I'll be waiting, very excited!
@gimp I see a lot of good things in this roadmap but no mention of AI, any interest in that topic?
