    Description:
    After a year's worth of development since GIMP 3.0 was released ,
    the team behind the open-source image editor has released
    GIMP 3.2 . It comes as part of the plan to release GIMP more frequently, rather than wait six or seven years
    between releases. The release comes with lots of new features (as can
    be seen in more detail in the release notes ),
    including 20 new brushes for the MyPaint Brush tool, an "overwrite" paint
    mode, new and upgraded file formats, UI improvements in a variety of
    places, such as the on-canvas text editor, and new non-destructive layers:
    You can now use Link Layers to incorporate external image as
    part of your compositions, easily scaling, rotating, and transforming them without losing quality or sharpness. The link layer's content is updated
    when the source file is modified The Path tool can now create Vector Layers , which lets you draw
    shapes with adjustable fill and stroke settings.
