GIMP 3.0 RC1 released and with it we get a new splash screen
The new splash screen was created by longtime contributor and artist Sevenix! You can see more of their work on their personal art page. https://www.deviantart.com/sevenics
Going forward, GIMP plans to change splash screens much more frequently to show off all the many kinds of art made with GIMP. GIMP has created a splash screen archive to highlight the work of current and previous splash screen artists.

A new version of Shotcut 24.10.29 was released on Oct 29, 2024 and is now available for download! Shotcut gets its first AI based on OpenAI’s Whisper, courtesy of the whisper.cpp project.
You can access this feature through the menu under "Subtitles > Speech to Text" or clicking on the icon button "Speech to Text."
If you are not a supporter of AI, you can just ignore the new features Shortcut has to offer. Most users probably do not use subtitles anyways.

Versatile Video Coding (VVC), also known as H.266, has the ability to stream from 4K all the way up to 16K. As the name suggests, the VVC video codec is very versatile. It can support everything from ultra-low to ultra-high resolution videos.
Support for VVC was added in FFmpeg 7.0. The lastest version of FFmpeg 7.1 has declared VVC decoding stable.
While some video streaming platforms like YouTube are currently testing out VVC support, VVC is still not officially supported.
