GIMP 3.0 - a preview:

GIMP 3.0 (Development branch roadmap)
https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/

The focus of this version is to complete the GTK+3 port and reduce technical debt in used technologies.

Benefits:
Better maintained version of GTK
Better graphics tablet support
Better handling of HiPPI displays
Wayland support on Linux
Refactored code, easier to build new features upon

Post-GIMP 3.0.0
After GIMP 3.0.0, we have several projects which we may focus on, in separate releases. These may happen either on minor (e.g. 3.2.0) or micro releases (e.g. 3.0.2) as our release policy change since 2.10.0 allows us to release new features on micro versions.
What we ultimately want is to make smaller and faster release points. We gathered features we want to work on in separate roadmaps, though they may be spread through several releases, or oppositely released in a single GIMP version.

Actual release numbers will be refined as we progress.
Non-destructive layer types
Some work has been started already around other types of layers. This might even end up in new “shape” abilities (something requested for a long time, which we wanted to make right, the non-destructive way).
Since some good code advancement already exist for several pieces of this plan, it may be included in a release soon after GIMP 3.0. Right now we are hoping it could be part of the first micro point after GIMP 3.0.0, i.e. that it could be available in GIMP 3.0.2.
