<p>
- 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.
