A new version (2.99.16) of gimp was just pushed to the 2.99-openvino/candidate channel in the snap store. The following revisions are available.

CPU Architecture	Revision
amd64	461
arm64	460

Automated testing

If configured, the snap will be installed in a VM, and any test results or screenshots will be posted to this issue as a comment shortly.

How to test it manually

1. Stop the application if it was already running
2. Upgrade to this version by running

snap refresh gimp --channel 2.99-openvino/candidate

3. Start the app and test it out.
4. Finally, add a comment below explaining whether this app is working, and include the output of the following command.

snap version; lscpu | grep Architecture; snap info gimp | grep installed

How to release it

Maintainers can promote this to stable by commenting /promote <rev>[,<rev>] 2.99-openvino/stable [done].

For example

• To promote a single revision, run /promote <rev> 2.99-openvino/stable

Heck yes! I'll also share with the plugin developers so they can run all of their official test cases.

Just need someone with a fancy arm64 machine to try this out. Maybe @popey? 😃

I will need to enable the arm64 builds on the various content producer snaps before we can test in earnest, but OpenVINO does have good support coverage for ARM. :)

Also notice that hardware acceleration is limited to Intel devices (Intel discreet GPU, Intel integrated GPU, Intel NPU)....

Superseded by #312

I'll close this 😃
