   - Improve sample text logics for CJK fonts, showing different
     sample characters for Korean and Japanese, making detection
     at-a-glance of such fonts easier.
+  - With "Ask what to do" color profile policy, profile conversion at
+    image loading is not proposed anymore when the image's profile is
+    the preferred profile set in Preferences for the current image type
+    (currently it would only be discarded if the image's profile was the
+    built-in profile, now GIMP accounts for both cases).
+  - When file loading plug-ins are run, the file chooser dialog is now
+    hidden until the plug-in returns.
+  - GIMP tries to keep error dialogs above to raise awareness when they
+    arrive (not discovered later under other dialogs).

     * The widgets will work the same (no more "Comment" text view
       missing in one plug-in but present in another, or with an entry

+    * The metadata frame will show an "(edit)" link which will run the

+      some generic logics to the metadata editor (when it makes sense)
+      and to raise awareness for metadata edition and viewing abilities.
+      This is still a work-in-progress which requires much more
