GIMP 3.2.6 Released with UX Improvements, New Rotation Stylus Dynamics Input
Coming almost five months after GIMP 3.2.4, the GIMP 3.2.6 release introduces a new dynamic input for painting, which is used in the original Wacom Art Pen, as well as newer Wacom Art Pen 2 pens, allowing GIMP to react to how you have rotated the brush in your hand as you draw.
GIMP 3.2.6 also brings various UX improvements, including the ability to cut the same section of all layers in a group, support for the Color Picker tool to include any filters applied to a single layer when selecting colors, faster loading with large font libraries, and initial preparations for GTK4 porting.

We’re happy to announce the release of GIMP 3.2.6! This stable release contains several months worth of patches, bug fixes, security updates, and more from new and longtime contributors.

GIMP 3.2.6 released with faster font loading, Wacom barrel rotation - OMG! Ubuntu
You won’t find any major new features, but plenty of improvements – not least in font handling.
GIMP say font loading is faster, with start-up times, Text tool typing and closing large font lists all nippier when lots of fonts are installed. The team note “some lag remains”, and solving that would require a GTK4 port – for which some initial prep has begun.
On the editing side, Cut now works on layer groups; Color Picker can picks up filters applied to individual layers (it ignored them before) when Sample Merged is set; and Text tool tweaks allow selecting text for editing even if a layer mask covers it.
Stylus users will be pleased to hear GIMP 3.2.6 supports barrel rotation on early Wacom Art Pen and newer Wacom Art Pen 2 pens. It lets GIMP know how you rotate the brush in your hand as you draw.
