    content: fix GIMP 2.10.30 news.
    
    - Imbricated lists were broken, and anyway rendered ugly (even after
      fixing it), so I made some section titles instead.
    - Reword and highlight some text better.
    - Alphabetical order for contributor lists.
    - Use definition lists to stylize the contributor lists.

 GIMP 2.10.30 is once again a bugfix release, with many fixes and
 incremental improvements, not so much on the "new feature" side.
 
-# In brief
+# Improved file formats support
+
+Several file format supports were updated with fixes or improvements:
+AVIF, HEIF, PSD, DDS, RGBE and PBM.
+
+Let's highlight in particular:
+
+* **PSD** support received various types of improvements allowing it
+  to load more sub-cases of PSD (layer masks tagged with invalid
+  dimensions, CMYK without alpha, CMYK without layers, merged image of a
+  16 bit per channel RGBA which had opaque alpha channel…).
+* **AVIF** export now favors AOM encoder.
+
+# OS evolutions
+
+Some backends got reworked to follow OS evolutions:
+
+* Backport of selection outline drawing reimplementation from GIMP
+  2.99.8 for **macOS Big Sur** and over ([already discussed
+  
patch](https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/12/06/gimp-2-99-8-for-macos/#fixed-regressions-in-recent-macos-versions-selection-outlines-and-slowness),
+  itself exceptionnaly backported to the 2.10.28 DMG package so that
+  macOS users enjoyed visible selections earlier).
+* On Windows, we moved from `GetICMProfile()` to the
+  `WcsGetDefaultColorProfile()` API because the former is broken in
+  **Windows 11**. Thus we were failing to get monitor profiles.
+* On Linux and other OSes which might use Freedesktop portals, we
+  implemented color picking on display (`Colors` dockable) with the
+  Freedesktop API when available, keeping old implementations as
+  fallbacks.
+  Screenshot plug-in now also uses in priority the Freedesktop API
+  rather than specific KDE or GNOME API (which are getting restricted
+  for security reasons since **KDE Plasma 5.20** and **GNOME Shell
+  41**).
+
+# Other improvements
+
+Various improvements were made on metadata support, be it on core code
+as well as in the metadata plug-ins (viewer and editor).
+
+A noteworthy fix is that the text tool won't follow anymore the subpixel
+font rendering choice from system settings. Subpixel rendering is for
+GUI on a screen of a specific type and pixel order and is not suitable
+for image contents which can be zoomed in or out, showed on various
+screens or even printed. This change also depends on a patch we
+contributed to Cairo which will be available in their next release (we
+include the patched version in our flatpak).
