does the current git master have 16/32-bit color channels and non-destructive editing?

I am new to gimp, and the website says that gimp 2.10 will use 16/32-bit channels. However does the current git master also have 16/32-bit channels? Also does the git master support non-destructive editing?

I have an important photo post-processing job, and I will use gimp for this job only if it uses 16/32-bit channels.

Thanks!

The git master version of gimp is not stable or feature complete - otherwise it would be a release.

Yes, it has floating-point colour and also 16-bit-per-channel colour; you may find someone has already packaged it as "gimp 2.9" for your Linux distribution, although the latest git master would be a more sensible choice.

If you do use it, make frequent backups and understand it's not a release but a development snapshot.
