 <p>
   A rather big conceptual change is that saving and exporting images
   now are clearly separated activities. Saving an image can only be
-  done in the XCF format. To export into other formats
-  <i>File->Export...</i> needs to be used. There are some
-  optimizations for alternative workflows such as opening a jpg,
-  polishing it, and quickly exporting back to the original file. This
-  conceptual change has also allowed us to get rid of the annoying
-  dialogs that warned about the flatting of images when saving to
-  non-layered formats. <b>Developer:</b> Martin Nordholts
