Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.10 to GIMP 2.8.12
===================================================

Core:

 - OSX: Fix migration code for old GIMP directories
 - Fix brush sizes when used from plug-ins
 - Windows: Allow to Explorer-open files with UTF-8 characters in the
filename
 - Make XCF loading more robust against broken files


GUI:

 - Make sure the widget direction matches the GUI language
 - Remove the option to disable the warning when closing a modified
image
 - Fix canvas overlay widgets (like the text options) for tablets
 - Make DND work between images in one dockable


Libgimp:

 - Make gimp_image_get_name() return the string used for the image title


Plug-ins:

 - Make script-fu-server more secure by listening to 127.0.0.1 by
   default and add a warning about changing that IP. This breaks the
   procedure's API, but for security reasons.
 - Bring back proper script-fu translations


General:

 - Massively clean up and fix the OSX build and bundle
 - Add Jenkins tutorial
 - Documentation updates
 - Bug fixes
 - Translation updates
