> Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.18 to GIMP 2.8.20
> ===================================================
>
>
> Core:
>
> - Avoid D-Bus error message when built without D-Bus support
> - fix OS X min required conditional in gimpimagewindow.c
> - Saving to existing .xcf.bz and .xcf.gz files didn't truncate them
>   and could lead to unnecessarily large files
> - Text layer created by gimp-text-fontname doesn't respect border
>   when resized
> - Avoid seeking when saving XCF files to prevent corruption with
> file network shares (fixed since 2014, but not mentioned in NEWS
> yet)
>
>
> GUI:
>
> - Flow on Paint Dynamics editor dialog: the 'y' axis is indicating
>   'Rate' instead 'Flow'
> - Vertical ruler shows artifacts if the status bar isn't showing
> - Tablet stylus misbehaves when crossing the edge of a dock in
>   multi-window-mode
> - Disable the new "automatic window tabbing" feature introduced on
>   macOS Sierra
> - Improve the visibility of slider handles with dark themes
> - Make it harder to switch to renaming if selecting already selected
>   items in resource lists
>
>
> Tools:
>
> - Make toggling to color picker mode of paint tools more robust
>
>
> Libgimp:
>
> - Call gimp_file_entry_set_filename() with filename encoding
>
>
> Windows Installer:
>
> - Reduce the memory requirement when running the installer (has
>   already been shipped in a 2.8.18 installer-only update)
> - Ship an updated libcairo to fix GTK+ UI rendering problems, like
>   missing palette border/bevel and shadows under tab labels
>
>
> macOS DMG:
>
> - Ship the Tango icon theme with the DMG for a complete set of icons
> - Fix the way mime data is copied into the bundle
> - No longer copy Pango modules into the bundle
> - Prevent a crash caused by drag&drop on OSX by patching the included
>   GTK+
> - Ship a patch for gettext to make sure the preferred UI language
>   will be used
>
>
> Plug-ins:
>
> - Prevent the Python console from closing by the Escape key
> - Help browser does not launch on OS X
> - Filter 'Edge Detect/Difference of Gaussians' returns empty image
> - Only use -xobjective-c for compile commands
> - mkgen.pl: fix calls to write_file() routine to write to current
>   directory
> - When printing, the images are composed onto a white background to
>   prevent printing a black box instead of a transparent image
> - Fix color vision deficiency display filters to apply gamma
>   correction directly
