-## GUI and usability
-
-  - Easily add or remove layer masks by clicking either the layer
-    preview or a new button in the Layers dialog.
-  - Enhance the Layer Attributes dialog to provide the single UI for
-    setting layer's name, blending mode, opacity, and offset,
-    toggling visibility, link status, various locks, color tags.
-  - Add a Save As button to the “Quit GIMP” dialog and raise images
-    on click for easy checks.
-  - Allow to choose fill color when resizing layers and images.
-  - Quick Mask and Channel Attributes dialogs use the new spinscale
-    widget for the  mask opacity slider.
-  - Enable grid views of dynamics and tool presets.
-  - Allow to zoom with middle mouse button + control + drag up/down.
-  - For all paint tools, when switching to the color picker mode,
-    don't rely on the exact modifier being pressed or released. Instead,
-    check if only the right modifier is pressed after *each* modifier
-    change, and switch to color picking if it is.
-  - On startup, GIMP checks for duplicate accelerators in menus, and
-    removes duplicates.
-  - Standard (Freedesktop) and GTK+ icons can now be set by the icon
-    theme for a fully consistent style.
-  - Many new icons.
-  - Toolbox buttons do not grab focus anymore, which used to break
-    usage of the Tab key and other canvas-related shortcuts after
-    changing tools with a pointing device click.
-  - Delete Layer/Channel/Path are consistently the last option in
-    respective dialogs now.
-  - Extend the text along the tangent of the last path stroke, when
-    the length of the path is shorter than the width of the text to be
-    warped.
-  - Allow to toggle the histogram dialog between gamma and linear.
-  - New 'Colors -> Linear Invert' command to provide radiometrically
-    correct color inversion.
-  - Quit dialog now exits when all the images in the list have been
-    saved.
-  - The built-in error dialog now displays errors outputted by GEGL.
+## GUI, Usability, and Configurability
+
+Benoit Touchette improved mask creation workflow for users who use a ton of
+masks in their projects. Now GIMP remembers the last type of mask
+initialization, and you can use key modifiers + mouse click on layer previews
+to create, apply, or remove masks. There’s a new button in the *Layers*
+dockable dialog for that as well.
+
+To make that feature possible, Michael Natterer introduced saving of last
+dialogs' settings across sessions and made these defaults configurable via the
+new *Interface / Dialog Defaults* page in the *Preferences* dialog.
+

+
+Additionally, the *Preferences* dialog got a vertical scrollbar where
+applicable to keep its height more sensible, and settings on individual pages
+of the dialog can be reset separately now.
+
+The *Quit* dialog got a few updates: automatically exiting when all the images
+in the list have been saved, and a *Save As* button for every opened image
+(clicking an image in the list will raise it easy checks).
