We have a problem with GIMP on the Big Sur release of the Apple
operating system. We do not have a timeline for a fix - we have a
volunteer who dropped by and said he might look at it less than a month
ago, but i odon't think we've heard back since; none of the core GIMP
developers are Mac programmers and we rely on volunteers.
