-  GIMP now supports rotating brushes and has had additional
-  enhancements to the brush dynamics engine, for example allowing to
-  base dynamics on tilt and dynamically change the aspect ratio of
-  brushes. The Google Summer of Code 2009 Advanced GUI for Brush
-  Dynamics code has also been merged, enabling such things as brush
-  dynamics presets. <b>Developers:</b> TODO
+  Brush dynamics engine has been expanded considerably, making almost
+  all aspects of the brush engine drivable by a multitude of inputs,
+  all of them configurable with their own response curve.
+  Because of the expansion dynamics were separated from tool options
+  and converted into a resource in its own right. Google Summer
+  of Code 2009 Advanced GUI for Brush Dynamics project was the start
+  of it's development.
