+## XCF-reader developers: format is documented
+
+Since 2006, our work format, XCF, is
+[documented](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/devel-docs/xcf.txt)
+thanks to the initial contribution of Henning Makholm. We have recently
+updated this document to integrate all the changes in the format since
+GIMP 2.10.0 release.
+
+Any third-party application which wishes to be able to read XCF files is
+welcome to get information from this updated documentation. The [git log
+view](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/devel-docs/xcf.txt) may
+actually be more interesting since you can more easily spot the changes
+and new features which have been documented these last days.
+
+We remind though that XCF is not meant to be an interchange format
+(unlike for instance [OpenRaster](https://www.openraster.org/)) and
+this document is not a "specification". The XCF reference document is
+the code itself. Nevertheless we are happy to help third-party
+applications, and if you spot any error or issues within this document,
+feel free to [open a bug
+report](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP) so that
+we can fix it.
