GIMP is getting text strokes
This has been a very long time in the making. The patch adding text stroke support was originally created by Massimo Valentini in 2011 to handle a feature request filed in 2003 (retribution is inevitable).

I recently retired from GIMP. The sole reason I became active in the project years ago was because it wasn’t great at communication with users. The GIMP team are now active in the social media, they show what they do, and they write good release notes without my intervention. And while there are other things I could do, my job is pretty much done. I am confident that they will carry on doing great work on all fronts.

GCC 13.0.0 Status Report (2022-10-20), Stage 1 ends Nov 13th
The GCC development branch which will become GCC 13 is open for general development (Stage 1). Stage 1 will end at the end of November 13th after which we will accept no new features that have not yet been submitted. Starting with Novemer 14th we are in a two month general bugfixing period (Stage 3).
I have gone over the set of unpriorized regression bugs that are in confirmed state, please help updating regressions that are still UNCONFIRMED and consider fixing bugs that are in your area of interest. Please make sure to finish and submit features you want to see included into GCC 13 timely and actively look for reviewers.
