GIMP and GEGL in 2014

Two questions: will the new GIMP support high-resolution displays (e.g. Retina on Macs)? And how Mac users may contribute to the development, if Mac builds do not exist?

High resulution screens are just, high resolution screens. They does not need any special support. Or I have not understood the question.

Good point, Dev versions Mac builds are not ready made but Mac users can contribute to the development, just compiling and test by themselves.

Just compiling and report about compilation problems is a great help.

I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it.

On my Retina MacBook Pro 15", GIMP 2.8.14 (SKL's release) window shows all characters and graphics 'jagged'. AFAIK this is related to GTK.

Michael Natterer did at least some preliminary work there. I hope he can elaborate on that.

And how Mac users may contribute to the development, if Mac builds do not exist?

We tried to setup nightly Mac builds, but the person who was involved with this had to step down. I hope this will be done eventually.

@Marco Ciampa, HiDPI support does need extra support code.

But high resolution displays do require suitable themes and currently GIMP is slightly broken in that regard: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739469
