+  All tools rendering on canvas has been ported to Cairo to provide 
+  smooth antialiased graphics and make GIMP's look and feel match 
+  modern users expectations. All but a few plug-ins have been ported over

   Text editing with the Text Tool is now performed on-canvas instead
   of in a separate window. The editing on-canvas is rather
-  sophisticated and tries to mimic text editing capabilities of
-  GtkTextView. There are still some polishing left to do here, but it
-  works rather nice already. This feature was developed during Google
-  Summer of Code 2008.
+  sophisticated: apart from the usual text formatting features like
+  font family, style and size selectors you get numeric control over
+  baseline offset and kerning, as well as ability to change text color
+  for a selection. You can also use a combination of Alt and arrow
+  keys to change baseline offset and kerning. This feature was
+  originally developed during Google Summer of Code 2008 and heavily
+  improved since.

+  A completely new Cage transform tool has been added thanks to excellent

+  polygonal frame.

+  You can now save existing state of any tool as a preset and give it 
+  a meaningful name. The presets are accessible from a new Tool Presets 
+  dockable dialog and additionally can be tagged so that you could easily

+  existing tool presets system to a new level of accessibility. A script

+  A new experimental widget was added to meet requirements of graphic
