+Status: draft
+
+GIMP 2.10.30 is once again a bugfix release, with many fixes and
+incremental improvements, not so much on the "new feature" side.
+
+# In brief
+
+- Many improvements were made on metadata support, be it on core code
+  and metadata plug-ins (viewer and editor).
+- Several file format supports were updated with fixes or improvements:
+  AVIF, HEIF, PSD, DDS, RGBE and PBM. Let's note in particular:
+  * PSD support received various types of improvements allowing it to
+    load more sub-cases of PSD (PSD with layer mask tagged with invalid
+    dimensions, CMYK PSD without alpha, CMYK PSD without layers, merged
+    image of a 16 bit per channel RGBA PSD which had opaque alpha
+    channel…).
+  * AVIF export now favors AOM encoder.
+- The text tool won't follow anymore the subpixel font rendering choice
+  from system settings which is good for GUI rendering on a screen of a
+  specific type and pixel order yet not for rendering an image which can
+  be zoomed in or out, showed on various screens or even printed.
+  This change also depends on a patch we contributed to Cairo which will
+  be available in their next release (we include the patched version in
+  our flatpak).
+- Some implementation backends got reworked to follow OS evolutions:
+  * The backport of the selection drawing from GIMP 2.99.8 to fix the
+    invisible selections on **macOS Big Sur** and over ([already widely
+    discussed
+    
patch](https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/12/06/gimp-2-99-8-for-macos/#fixed-regressions-in-recent-macos-versions-selection-outlines-and-slowness),
+    itself exceptionnaly backported to the 2.10.28 DMG package so that
+    macOS users enjoyed visible selections earlier).
+  * On Windows, port some profile code from `GetICMProfile()` to
+    `WcsGetDefaultColorProfile()` API because the former is broken in
+    **Windows 11** so we were failing to get monitor profiles.
+  * On Linux and other OSes which might use Freedesktop portals, we
+    implemented display color picking (button from `Colors` dockable)
+    from the Freedesktop API when available, then fallbacking to old
+    implementations. Screenshot plug-in now also uses in priority the
+    Freedesktop API rather than specific KDE or GNOME API (these API are
+    getting restricted for security reasons since **KDE Plasma 5.20**
+    and **GNOME Shell 41**).
+

+# Team news
+
+Luca Bacci is now a core developer with git access, acknowledging his
+very nice contributions so far.
+
+Lukas Oberhuber, our new macOS packager, was given "*reporter*" access
+on the main source repository which allows him to help triaging on the
+bugtracker: labelling, closing, reopening, and moving reports…
+
+# Translators
+
+Among the 82 languages for which GIMP is available, 14 translations were
+updated: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Catalan, Croatian,
+Finnish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian,
+Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian.
+
+The Windows installer now contains Portuguese localization (from
+Portugal, it already had Brazilian Portuguese), making it available in
+35 languages.
+Also some previously announced translations were missing in the
+installer. These should be fixed now.
+
+*Translators on GIMP 2.10.30*: Hugo Carvalho, Rūdolfs Mazurs, Anders
+Jonsson, Jordi Mas, Matej Urbančič, Piotr Drąg, Rodrigo Lledó, Yuri
+Chornoivan, Aurimas Černius, Milo Ivir, Bruce Cowan, Bruno Lopes da
+Silva, Daniel Mustieles, Jiri Grönroos and Marco Ciampa.
+
+# GEGL
+
+As usual, this release is supplemented with the release of
+[GEGL](https://gegl.org/) 0.4.34 the same day as GIMP 2.10.30.
+
+Some potentially bad bugs were fixed in operations and
+[ctx](https://ctx.graphics/) integration got cleaned up by moving it to
+the operations, in order not to pollute the GEGL library symbol table
+with the ctx symbols.
+
+**Contributors to this GEGL release**: Anders Jonsson, Asier Sarasua
+Garmendia, Boyuan Yang, dimspingos, Gavin Cui, Hugo Carvalho, Jehan,
+Jordi Mas, krzygorz, Lukas Oberhuber, Marco Ciampa, Matej Urbančič,
+Øyvind Kolås, Rodrigo Lledó, Rūdolfs Mazurs and Simon McVittie.
+
+# Downloading GIMP 2.10.30
+
+As usual GIMP 2.10.30 is available on [GIMP official website
+(gimp.org)](https://www.gimp.org/downloads/):
+
+The Linux flatpak, Windows installer and macOS DMG package are all
+already available and mirrors fully synced up, in less than a day from
+source release to binary release. This must be our new record of a
+perfectly timed release!
+
+# What's next
+
+While the development branch is getting a lot of activity, we don't
+forget the stable branch. This release may not look like much, yet it
+contains several fixes which we really wanted to get out there, so we
+recommend everyone to update.
+
+We are not sure we will be able to do a development release before the
+end of this year, so we wish you already a wonderful holiday season!
+🎄🎉
+
+Don't forget you can [donate to the project and personally fund several
+GIMP developers](https://www.gimp.org/donating/), as a way to give back
+and accelerate the development of GIMP. As you know, the [maintainers of
+GEGL and GIMP are crowdfunding to be able to work full-time on free
+software](https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/07/27/support-gimp-developers-sustainable-development/). 🥳
