I have just relased a new version 2.9 of GrafX2, "the ultimate 256-color painting program".
Binaries are available for Haiku, Gamepark Holdings GP2x, Nintendo Switch, Atari Mint and Windows (yes, our build automation somehow focuses only on the most ridiculous platforms). For Linux it should hopefully be updated in your favorite distribution soon.
Not a lot of changes in this version, many bugfixes and more fileformats supported (Apple IIgs, C64, CPC, Atari TT...)

The palette window in grafx2, it has several buttons at the top, 256 color swatches in a 16x16 grid, an area showing a gradient from currently selected colors, and 3 RGB sliders. The user interface uses a monospace 8x8 font and only 4 colors (black, white, and two grayscales)
Screenshot showing a picture by jok and the "copy to spare page" window with buttons allowing to copy the pixels, or the palette, or only some colors into another image
Screenshot of GrafX2 with a picture by Tomic (that you can barely see, as there is a window above it). The window shows the "smooth" effect configuration where several 3x3 blur matrices can be selected, or custom valaes can beentered manually

It seems my first commit on Grafx2 subversion repository was on the 14th of April 2007, so, let's celebrate 17 years of me maintaining this, I guess! 🎉

@pulkomandy thanks for this! In a world of corporate bullshit and AI garbage, GrafX is such a breath of fresh air for (retro-inclined) artists
