+
+GIMP 2.99.2 marks the first step towards GIMP 3 based on GTK3 user interface
+toolkit.
+
+Release highlights:
+
+- GTK3 based user interface, with native support for Wayland and HiDPI displays.
+- Major refactoring and cleanup
+- Space invasion FIXME
+- Render caching

+
+## GTK3 based UI
+
+## Refactoring
+
+## Space invasion
+
+## Render caching
+
+GIMP 3 now has a render cache that keeps the result of scaling, color
+management, display filters and shell mask (for tools like _Fuzzy Select_).
+This results in much snappier user experience in comparison to the GTK2 version
+of GIMP.
+
+There is now also a _Zoom Quality_ setting in _Preferences -> Display_. When set
+to _Fast_, GIMP will do a nearest neighbor inyterpolation from the next bigger
+mipmap level instead of linear or box filtering. This gives a slight and
+permanent boost to painting and all updates. We have a few ideas to improve this
+further (like reblitting in high quality after a timeout).
+
+## What's next
+
+Further refactoring. Further UI cleanup. Possibly a Python 3 port.
