      GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a
      freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching,
      image composition and image authoring.
    </_p>
    <_p>
      It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint
      program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online
      batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an
      image format converter, etc.
    </_p>
    <_p>
      GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be
      augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about
      anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything
      from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation
      procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is available for Linux,
      Microsoft Windows and OS X.

        In this second release candidate before GIMP 2.10.0, while
        debugging is still a prime target, a new focus has been put on
        speed and optimization in order to provide a smoother painting
        experience. Bigger changes are:
        </_p>
        <ul>
          <_li>Major core optimizations for painting and display,
          including parallelized painting code</_li>
          <_li>Symmetries are now preserved in XCF files (saved as image
          parasites)</_li>
          <_li>"Light" and "Dark" themes rewritten from scratch to get
          rid of various usability issues. "Lighter" and "Darker" themes
          removed.</_li>
          <_li> New GimpToolGyroscope on-canvas control, currently used
          for the Panorama Projection filter. The widget provides
          on-canvas interaction for 3D rotation (yaw, pitch, roll).</_li>
          <_li>Plug-in debugging improved to output stack traces from
          plug-ins with --stack-trace-mode command line option not only
          on receiving signals but also on warnings and critical errors
          when "fatal-warnings" debug key is set</_li>
        </ul>
