  The new version features several new themes by Benoit Touchette in various shades of grey: Lighter, Light, 
Gray, Dark, Darker. System theme has been preserved for users who prefer completely consistent look of user 
interfaces across all desktop applications.
  
 +(FIXME SCREENSHOT)

  Note that we still consider this feature a work in progress, as dark themes still need some fine-tuning 
(especially regarding the color of inactive menu items).
  
- The new UI themes are accompanied by symbolic icons created by Barbara Muraus, Benoit Touchette, and Klaus 
Staedtler. The existing icon theme from past releases of GIMP has also been preserved, and users can freely 
switch between available icon themes and easily add their own ones.
+ The new UI themes are accompanied by symbolic icons originally created by Barbara Muraus, Jakub Steiner, 
and heavily updated and completed by Klaus Staedtler. The existing icon theme from past releases of GIMP has 
also been preserved, and users can freely switch between available icon themes and easily add their own ones.
  
- Klaus Staedtler is also working on vector (SVG) icons for HiDPI displays (also commonly known as Retina). 
It's an experimental feature, available after using '--enable-vector-icons' build configure option.
+ Note that themes and icon themes are now separate: you can easily mix your favorite UI with various icon 
sets. Also since most 2.8 themes would end up broken in 2.9.x, themes are not migrated anymore. Users who 
want custom themes will have to install ones specifically made for GIMP 2.9.x/2.10.
  
- (FIXME SCREENSHOT)
+ All work on icons by Klaus Staedtler is made on vector (SVG) images, which should allow better support for 
HiDPI displays (also commonly known as Retina) soon. Vector icons are an experimental feature, available 
after using '--enable-vector-icons' build configure option. Note that this option does not allow HiDPI 
support at this time.
  
- We cleaned the Preferences dialog a little and reordered option in a more logical manner. The Color 
Management page was redesigned following both internal and user-visible changes in relevant parts of GIMP 
(see below), and _Snap Distance_ options have been moved to a dedicated _Snapping_ page.

 -Additionally, it is now possible to configure the size of undo step previews in the Undo dialog via the 
Preferences dialog, which was only possible by manually editing GIMP's configuration file before, by a 
complete oversight on our part.

- The startup spalsh screen now features a pulsing progress bar to indicate that GIMP is not frozen. This, as 
well as initializing fontconfig in the background (also a new feature in 2.9.4), is meant to address a common 
issue where rebuilding fonts cache (or building it for the first time) can take a lot of time hence making an 
impression that GIMP freezes at startup. We acknowledge that this is a workaround. Fixing the actual reason 
involves hacking on fontconfig. If you are interested, there is a [bug 
report](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64766) on that.

+ ## Batch processing on command line
+ 
+ A new macro `with-files` is now available in order to easily process multiple files through GIMP, on 
command line, which was a much awaited feature.
+ 
+ For instance, if you wanted to invert colors of all PNG images from the current folder, then save them as 
JPEG, you could run from the command line:
+ 
+ ```bash
+ gimp -i -b '(with-files "*.png" (gimp-invert layer) \
+              (gimp-file-save 1 image layer \
+               (string-append basename ".jpg") \
+               (string-append basename ".jpg") ))'
+ ```
+ 
+ ## Email plugin back from the dead
+ 
+ The `File > Send by email…` dialog will open your default email client with an attached copy of your 
current image, to share your work-in-progress in a single click. This is available only on operating systems 
with `xdg-email` (likely GNU/Linux, BSD only).
+ 
+ The original implementation using `sendmail` is also available, yet since it requires a properly configured 
sendmail, which is not common on desktop machines, the explicit `--with-sendmail` option has to be set at 
build time to replace the `xdg-email` implementation.
+ 
+ ## Debugging Facilities for Windows
+ 
+ Windows builds can now generate backtrace logs upon a crash with Dr.MinGW's ExcHndl library, which must be 
available at build time. The logs will be available in `%APPDATA%\GIMP\2.9\CrashLog\`.
