+Our new macOS contributor, Alex Samorukov, has been very hard at work
+improving the macOS/OSX package, debugging and patching both GIMP, GEGL,
+and the [gtk-osx project](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/merge_requests/1).
+
+Some of the macOS specific bugs he fixed are artifacts while zooming,
+the windows focus bug in plug-ins, and a non-functional support for some
+non-Wacom tablets. Jehan, Ell, and Øyvind actively participated in fixing these
+and other macOS issues.
+
+We also thank CircleCI for providing their infrastructure to us free of charge.
+This helps us automatically building GIMP for macOS.
+
+That said, please keep in mind that we have very few developers for macOS and
+Windows. If you want GIMP to be well supported on your operating system of
+choice, we do welcome new contributors!

+## What's next
+
+We've been running late with this release, so we haven't included some of the
+improvements available in the main development branch of GIMP. And there are
+even more changes coming!
+
+Here is what you can expect in GIMP 2.10.10 when it's out.
+
+* ACES RRT display filter that can be used in scene-referred imaging workflows.
+Technically, it's a luminance-only approximation of the ACES filmic HDR-to-SDR
+proofing mapping [originally written][] in The Baking Lab project.
+* Space invasion: essentially you can now take an image that's originally
+in e.g. ProPhotoRGB, process it in the CIE LAB color space, and the resulted
+image will be in ProPhotoRGB again, wth all color data correctly mapped to
+the original space / ICC profile. This is a complicated topic, we'll talk more
+about it when it's time to release 2.10.10.
+
+[originally written]: https://github.com/TheRealMJP/BakingLab/blob/master/BakingLab/ACES.hlsl
+
+Another new feature we expect to merge to a public branch soon is smart
+colorization based on the original implementation in the ever-popular GMIC
+filter.

+
+Given quickly approaching winter holidays and all the busy time that comes with it,
+we can't 100% guarantee another stable release this year, but we'll do our best
+to keep'em coming regularly!

 ## Conclusion
 
 We wish you a lot of fun with GIMP, as it becomes more stable every day!
