This release features a lot of day-to-day workflow improvements. One of my favorites is that it is now possible to move selections of pixels without having to first duplicate these to a new layer. This speeds up pixel art and screen design work.
Other note-worthy additions:
- layer compositions: save multiple variations/states of your project in one file.
- export settings can be assigned to layers and pages, and multiple export targets can be set as well as multiple resolution.
- complete overhaul of the appearance and functionality of the document windows in MS Windows. It looks very nice now instead of the extremely clunky looking old-style windows.
- layer masks and clipping layers now fully support 16/32-bit colour depth
- GIMP files can be read and imported
