## New and Improved Tools
All tools in GIMP are now GEGL-based and fully functional in up to 32bit per color channel precision mode.
@@ -37,12 +39,16 @@ GIMP 2.9.2 also introduced two new tools that we consider mostly complete:
* **Unified Transform**, designed by Peter Sikking and implemented by Mikael Magnusson, combines rotation,
scaling, skewing, and adjusting perspective in a single tool.
* **Warp Transform**, implemented by Michael Muré, replaces the old iWarp plugin and provides its features
in a tool that works directly on images, without a preview window.
+<!-- FIXME: a screenshot with Unified Transform tool activated. Photo of a landscape would be best here -->

We have also improved several existing tools:
* **Blend** tool, worked on by Michael Henning, is now more interactive. After drawing with the tool to
define the beginning and the end of the gradient fill, you can adjust start/end positions and change colors.
* **Align** tool now features vertical and horizontal fill modes thanks to João S. O. Bueno.
* **Foreground** Select tool can finally make subpixel selections in complex cases such as strays of hair on
textured background. Two new masking methods for that were added by Jan Rüegg and Daniel Sabo, and the user
interface was updated by Michael Natterer.

There are still some parts of GIMP like color choosers that need to become color-managed. We expect to
complete this in time for v2.10.

thanks to GIMP users who supported his crowdfunding campaign. The code is mostly complete and will undergo
review in the coming weeks.

## Configurability
To help interested users test experimental features, we added a new _Playground_ page to the _Preferences_
dialog. In v2.9.2, it serves to enable experimental tools that we mentioned earlier in the news.
_Behaviour_, another new page in the _Preferences_ dialog, helps configuring default snapping in normal and
fullscreen modes.

Finally, the user interface to enable and disable Tools in the toolbox has moved to the _Toolbox_ page in
the _Preferences_ dialog.
