    Also adding my current focus in GIMP.
    
    These 2 focuses are the extension management as well as animation
    features which I am going to start merging soon.
    I am also working on some side stuff useful for work on canvas and
    hopefully I am going to start on better touch support for GIMP 3 soon
    (though I don't go into these details in the news yet, on purpose).
