    2.10.14: a few additions/fixes
    
    Clean up and uncomment the Free Select section.
    
    Move the Feather Selection changes to a separate section - they're
    not related to the out-of-canvas stuff.
    
    The image-transform functionality is not scriptable yet - was too
    lazy :P
    
    Add section about unclipped filters.

+example is Drop Shadow, which adds a shadow at an offset to the layer. Such
