-  Brush dynamics let you map different brush parameters, commonly at least 
-  size and opacity, to one or more of three input dynamics: pressure, 
-  velocity and random. Velocity and random are usable with a mouse. The Ink tool, 
-  that supported velocity before, has been overhauled and now handles 
-  velocity-dependent painting much better.

-  Brush dynamics have enabled a new feature in stroking paths. There 
-  is now a check box under the "paint tool" option, for emulating brush 
-  dynamics if you stroke using a paint tool. What this means is that when your 
-  stroke is being painted by GIMP, it tells the brush that its pressure and 
-  velocity are varying along the length of the stroke. Pressure 
-  starts with zero, ramps up to full pressure and then ramps down 
-  again to no pressure. Velocity starts from zero and ramps up to full 
-  speed by the end of the stroke.
