[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.10.10 released
Hi,
We just released GIMP 2.10.10, the fifth bugfix release in
the stable 2.10 series.
As announced before, stable GIMP 2.10.x is open for new
features that are not too invasive or change the API,
and we got some good new stuff for you this time, too.
For a complete list of changes since 2.10.8 please see the
"Changes" section below.
There is also a release announcement on www.gimp.org:
https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/04/07/gimp-2-10-10-released/
Happy GIMPing,

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.8 to GIMP 2.10.10
Core:
- Add gimp-scratch allocator, a fast memory allocator (on the order
of magnitude of alloca()), suitable for small (up to a few
megabytes), short-lived (usually, bound to the current stack-
frame) allocations.
Unlike alloca(), gimp-scratch doesn't use the stack, and is
therefore safer, and will also serve bigger requests, by falling-
back to malloc().
- In gimp_drawable_transform_buffer_affine(), avoid modifying the
clipping mode when transforming layer masks, since this function
is used (among other things) to transform layer masks together with
their layer, in which case they should use the same clipping mode
as the layer. This fixes a regression introduced by commit
2ae823ba, causing layer masks to be transformed with a mismatched
clipping mode during layer transforms, leading to discrepencies
between the transformed layer and the transformed mask.
- Moved swap/cache and temporary files out the GIMP user config dir
and added new config file substitutions ${gimp_cache_dir} and
${gimp_temp_dir}.
- Pass the GEGL tile-cache size, swap path, and thread-count to plug-
ins as part of their config, and have libgimp set the plug-in's
GeglConfig accordingly upon initialization.
- Layer groups are now rendered in bigger chunks rather than tile-by-
tile (which used to pretty much eliminate multithreading for
groups), which improves the rendering speed.
- Make saving/exporting files more robust to errors. In particular if
an error occurs during the process (be it a bug, a memory error, or
anything else), GIMP won't overwrite anymore any existing file with
incomplete contents, so that you won't end up with no valid files
at all.
- Fix a regression on support of various graphics tablet.
- Remove the "Edit -> Fade..." feature: it makes GIMP use two buffers
instead of one (east into system resources), it's broken in 2.10,
and we can make the UX better for filters.
- New generic canvas modifier 'Alt + middle click' allowing to pick
layers by clicking on pixels. The available layers will be looped
through (starting from the upper one) while Alt key is hold and the
picked layer name will be temporarily displayed in the status bar.
- When clearing a channel, do nothing if the channel is already
empty; otherwise, align the cleared rectangle to the channel
buffer's tile grid, so that all affected tiles are dropped, rather
than zeroed.
Furthermore, only update the affected region of the channel.
- Brush and pattern saving logics has been moved to core code
(instead of plug-in).
- Clipboard brushes and pattern can now be duplicated.
- Parametric brushes are now 32-bit float to avoid posterization on
large brushes.
Note: raster brushes are still 8-bit and plug-ins only have access
to 8-bit versions of high-precision brushes/patterns. New API will
be required to handle high-precision data.
- On-canvas preview while editing a color in the colormap of an
indexed image.
User interface:
- Enabled HiDPI/Retina support for the GTK2/OSX build, fixes blurry
icons.
- Add a tooltip to the "better compression" checkbox in save dialog
to make it clearer it does not mean that the file size is
necessarily smaller in every cases. In particular some best/worst
case are possible when an algorithm less efficient in general may
end up better on a particular image.
- Add basic support for cursors with a scale factor of 2 for HiDPI
(artwork to be updated).
- Foreground and background color icons, as well as color history
will now display out-of-gamut warning on indexed images for colors
outside of the palette, as well as on grayscale images, for non-
gray colors.
- Pack color picker and hexadecimal entry on same line in Color dock.
- Add an "Open
