 # What's next
 
-TODO
+You might have noticed that a lot of effort has been done to improve the
+infrastructure these last few months (whether for continuous
+integration, testing, automating releases,
+[mirrors](https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/10/06/official-mirror-policy/)…)
+and more has to be done as this was highly needed for the long run. This
+release is nonetheless a big one with more than 50 reports closed, 25
+merge requests accepted and over 500 commits.
+
+We are still working hard to finalize the GTK3 port as well as the new
+plug-in API. Taking care of technology changes (Wayland on Linux and
+macOS in particular) these days is also taking quite a toll in our
+development efficiency as we spend a lot of time fixing things which
+just get broken because the underlining systems change. Nevertheless we
+are quite happy of how things evolve as future GIMP 3 is looking more
+and more awesome every day, right? 🤗
