Indeed, the XCF doc has not been much updated these last year.

I have just now updated a bit the docs for:
- zlib compression (which is now a possible internal tile compression);
- new layer modes;
- update in the header with the "precision" field.

See the recent log commits:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/devel-docs/xcf.txt

There is at least one more update relative to group mask. I will do this
tomorrow.
There are also some changes relative to endianness, but I'll have to dig
deeper (it looks like it was only a bug which would have touched some
development XCF format only).

I will complete the docs with these 2 more information tomorrow. Now I'll
go to bed!

Give them this link:

It's not that much change, format-wise (though it may be quite some work,
because of the many new layer modes). :-)
Thanks for reminding us.
