+	  Enhancements have also been made to the size entry widget,

+	  parameters. For example, in the scale dialog it is now
+	  possible to write <quote>50%</quote> in the Width field to
+	  scale the image to 50% of the width. Expressions such as
+	  <quote>30in + 40px</quote> and <quote>4 * 5.4in</quote>
+	  work, too.
