@a1ba @alyx Maybe just too fast for the website part of the announcement to get pushed :D

@lanodan @alyx everybody probably getting their deserved rest.

@a1ba My point seems to be flying over your head in a Boeing 747 Max. The average user won't be using the links you posted. The average user will go to gimp.org and will see that Gimp 3 hasn't been released yet.

@alyx I'm not a GIMP developer and can't fix their website.

But the release has been tagged, builds has been published. I think people on fedi in general are capable of understanding that the website might lag behind a little bit.

@a1ba@suya.place @alyx@gameliberty.club i agree with both your points.
buuuut....
https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v3.0/windows/

windows is still on rc3. so i guess, unless all platforms are built and released, they wont update the website

@a1ba@suya.place @alyx@gameliberty.club same with the mac version btw

@kura @alyx who cares about inferior proprietary operating systems really

@kura @alyx (sarcasm)

but hey, I really didn't check other builds, found an AppImage there, it works.

@a1ba@suya.place @alyx@gameliberty.club i dont doubt you, no worries.
windows is still the biggest os (in terms of marketshare and used gigabytes), so i guess it is normal to wait for official release on the download server, before calling it a release.

(i personally would prefer if i could ditch work station windows installation for linux.... but alas, right now i cannot have that yet)

@a1ba If you need to track down a download link on some obscure testing site, or side platform, or anywhere else that isn't the main, public facing, website, then it isn't released. It does look like it will be released very soon. But right at this very moment, it is not released.

@alyx you remind me that I literally haven't made not a single release to my own software for years. But it's already much more stable, than anything we did before... just waiting on ports that lagging behind and not complete yet
