 Core:
 
+  - Add gimp-scratch allocator, a fast memory allocator (on the order of
+    magnitude of alloca()), suitable for small (up to a few megabytes),
+    short-lived (usually, bound to the current stack-frame) allocations.
+    Unlike alloca(), gimp-scratch doesn't use the stack, and is therefore
+    safer, and will also serve bigger requests, by falling-back to malloc().
   - In gimp_drawable_transform_buffer_affine(), avoid modifying the
     clipping mode when transforming layer masks, since this function

   - Fix a regression on support of various graphics tablet.
+  - Remove the "Edit -> Fade..." feature: it makes GIMP use two buffers
+    instead of one (east into system resources), it's broken in 2.10, and
+    we can make the UX better for filters.

+  - Add basic support for cursors with a scale factor of 2 for HiDPI

+Usability:
+
+  - Attempting to transform locked layers or paint on them now results in
+    blinking around the status bar (where the warning message is displayed)
+    and around the toolbar where lock toggles are. The same applies to
+    attempting to move a selection where there is none — GIMP will blink
+    around the toolbar where the moving target (layer, selection, path)
+    is chosen.
+  - GIMP now allows selecting default export file type for new projects.
+    The choice is limited to PNG, JPEG, WebP, PSD, ORA, TIFF, BMP.

 Plug-ins:
 
   - file-pdf-save GUI now clearly indicates the order the layers will be
     used to make multi-page PDFs.
