Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.0 to GIMP 2.10.2
===================================================
Core:
- Discard fonts which fail to load and popup an info dialog to allow
people debug their fonts.
- New API to suppress updates in UI until plug-ins are done
introducing changes.
- New API to calculate histograms in separate threads, with possible further
extension to handle similar cases elsewhere in GIMP.
- Tool options are now properly saved and reloaded per-device at
startup.
Plug-ins:
- New plug-in for importing and exporting HEIF images.
- Enable visibility of rasterized vector layer from PSD.
- Single-window screenshots in Windows fixed to correctly snap a
window even when it is partly off-screen or covered by another
window or when display scaling is not set to 100%.
Filters:
- New Spherize filter to wrap an image around a spherical cap
- New Recursive Transform filter to create Droste effect.
Usability:
- Warn users, when alpha-only painting has no effect. E.g. when target
drawable doesn't have an alpha channel, or the alpha channel is locked.
- Make the splash texts dynamic, so they are larger on larger splashes.
- Mention pressing Enter to complete Foreground selection in the status bar.
- Make sure that clicking outside any selection prevents Rectangle Select
and Ellipse Select tools from creating empty selections.
- Improve mouse wheel zooming behavior to keep the same point
centered under the pointer even if the image is completely visible
in the canvas.
- Add "View -> Center Image in Window" (Shift+J) as a quick way to
center the image at any zoom level.
Translations:
- Updated translations: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Russian, Spanish,
Swedish, Ukrainian.
- New translation of Windows installer: Chinese (Taiwan)
Build:
- Add a --with-bug-report-url configure option allowing packagers to
set the address of their own bug tracker. This address will be the
one opened by the debug dialog for reporting bugs.
- Add a flatpak manifest for the gtk3-port branch.
- Remove the possibility to disable script-fu.
- Add a --with-icc-directory configure option to customize the color
profile directory. By default, it is set to the common path
/usr/share/color/icc.
Documentation:
- Updating the description of the XCF format "devel-docs/xcf.txt", for
third-party readers wishing to support GIMP 2.10 XCF files.
- Add documentation skeletons for all enums in libgimpbase/, there is
much room for improvement.
