it's GEGL actually, which is the graphics library gimp used/uses, and also a 5 legged goat.

But 2.7.2 exists and isn't listed.

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

it is, just for the development version tho

The 2.7.x series is comprised entirely of development versions. In GIMP, odd feature versions are developmental and even feature versions are stable

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

oh, didn't know that

janNatan ,

Do the development versions have a history of having more risqué splash screens? Is there a list of them somewhere?

According to this archival screen recording, it is, in fact, real.

Oh my god this is awesome

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

did some digging and found the original artists and it turns out this was the splash for the development version specifically hence why it's not in the splash archive

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The header literally says "Development Version Splash History", and as I've said, the entire 2.7 series is made of development versions.

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

then i dont know why it's not included, i found some 2011 forums showing how to compile the release with this splash screen so it was used at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Occam's razor: it's the most obvious reason 🥴
