+  - Ignore MakerNote metadata tag at export and only store the tags that
+    go in it, hence avoiding partial invalid metadata.
+  - Color picking from Colors dockable can now use the Freedesktop

+  - On Windows, move from GetICMProfile() to WcsGetDefaultColorProfile()
+    because the former is broken in Windows 11.

     * Comparing XMP tags with equivalent IPTC tags with multiple values,

 Installer:
 
   - Extension .avif now associated to GIMP.
