We are very happy to present you with GIMP 3.0.0 RC1!
This is our first release candidate for what will be GIMP 3.0.0. Now is the time for everyone to test!
It is the result of years of work. I'm sure it still has many bugs (and you should report!), but we hope you will still appreciate the new version.
@GIMP I'd like to test it but I don't use flatpack. Is there an appimage?

If you are interested in improving it further and hopefully making it available as a standard download, please get in touch! Bruno has also created flatpak build scripts to make the process of creating your own GIMP flatpak much easier.
It's not there yet since there are many things (continued from my quote) Bruno is tackling with AppImage being just one and this work isn't completely done yet, but can continue til release.
