GIMP 3.0.8 was released nearly four months after 3.0.6, bringing faster font loading, improved Wayland input-device listing, and font handling fixes such as Skia special-casing. The update also refines tools—Symmetry stroke behavior, Move tool position jumps, Quick Mask handling—and improves export behavior. Users and distributions can adopt the release to gain smoother startup and better input and font reliability.
