   - The debug dialog only gets a backtrace of the main thread now,
     because of some bugs in GDB locking GIMP when trying to get a full
     backtrace for all threads.
+  - The line art data is now stored for a few additional minutes in the
+    user context after closing the bucket fill tool. This allows quick
+    switch between tools without forcing a recomputation of the line
+    art.
+  - Stroking a path with source tools (Clone, Heal…) is now possible
+    when the tool is active and a source was selected.
