GIMP 3.0.2 fixed the crash for macOS and Linux Flatpak users, when selecting a brush with the view set to Icon Grid. It also fixed missing Python plug-ins, non-working auto-update check in Windows, missing display filters and color selectors on macOS.<\/p>\n

The release also fixed theming issue that caused UI glitches or odd coloring, reverted a patch, which was added to improve tablet support, as it caused a different issue with pressure sensivity on other tablets.<\/p>\n

And for Windows users, the official installer now sets up a Restore Point for system-wide installs, and prompt about removing configurations during uninstalling process for a truly clean uninstall.<\/p>\n
