+**Performance and async jobs.** There are several attack vectors towards subpar
+performance of GIMP. Ell fixed some of the big issues by introducing async
+operations like lazy loading of fonts (which effectively fixed the long startup
+times for GIMP on Windows), and the moved all async logic over to GEGL. Both Ell
+and Øyvind Kolås contributed to improving performance of downscaling with
+bilinear and bicubic samplers and other aspects of GEGL.
+
+**Space invasion.** GIMP used to have the sRGB color space hardcoded into all
+processing. This couldn't work for everyone, and we introduced some changes to
+support any RGB color spaces in 2.10. Space invasion is the next step towards
+that goal. The 'master' git branch of GIMP now allows taking an image that’s
+originally in e.g. ProPhotoRGB, processing it in a different color space (e.g.
+CIE LAB), and the resulted image will be in ProPhotoRGB again, with all color
+data correctly mapped to the original space / ICC profile. This isn't yet
+polished and thus not read for prime-time use. Most of the work was done by
+Øyvind Kolås and Michael Natterer.
+
+**CMYK.** Øyvind also started working towards making CMYK a first-class citizen
+in GEGL, thus laying the foundation for respective changes in GIMP. GEGL now can
+e.g. open a CMYK JPEG file, composite an RGB PNG file with an alpha channel on
+top of it, then write a CMYK TIFF file to the output, tagged with a
+user-submitted CMYK ICC profile. This and other work can be sponsored by you
+[via Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/pippin/).
+
+**Bugfixing.** This is the boring part that is, however, absolutely crucial for
+making any software usable. Due to the switch to GNOME-hosted Gitlab instance,
+we cannot give the exact number, but there have been a few hundreds of bugfixes
+done by many contributors throughout the year.
