- Windows: standard output and error output are now properly
redirected to the parent console in native shells, just like on
Linux or macOS. As a consequence build option -Dwin32-debug-console
has been removed.
has been removed. Ctrl-C is properly handled too, and output
contains colors.
- Paths attached to a vector layer cannot be deleted anymore.
- Text layer rendering has been made much more robust, even when with
very big dimensions.

* Double clicking a vector layer would activate the Path tool on it.
The setting to change the path is moved to the layer options
dialog.
- Transform tools are not initialized anymore when they are selected
after an automatic tool swap (when a filter tool is committed or
canceled; cf. Core section).
Graphical User Interface:

custom icon size.
- Color history colors can now be dragged and dropped, to fill or set
colors as expected, as any other color area widgets.
- It is now possible to select different objects with the same name
when listed in a GimpContainerEntry (typically, 2 fonts named the
same, when you are trying to select one of them in the font entry of
Text tool options or of the on-canvas GUI; this was already working
in the Fonts dockable, but not in the container entries).
- We can now properly blink paths in the Paths dockable too (it used
to only work for layers and channels). This will be used for
actions, to raise awareness to reasons why an action cannot be
executed.

- Removed libgimp functions:
* gimp_vector_layer_discard (since 3.1.4, but never in a stable
release).
- New libgimp class: GimpLinkLayer
- New libgimpbase enum types:
* GimpTextOutline
* GimpTextOutlineDirection
- New libgimpwidgets macros:
* GIMP_ICON_LAYER_LINK_LAYER
* GIMP_ICON_LAYER_VECTOR_LAYER
- libgimpwidgets: GimpBrowser search entry ported to GtkSearchEntry.
- New libgimp interface: GimpRasterizable. GimpLinkLayer,
GimpTextLayer and GimpVectorLayer now implement this interface.
- gimp_item_is_is_text_layer() will now always return TRUE for a layer
which is a text layer in backend, even if it has been rasterized. It
used not to, probably because the "Discard Text Information" was not
reversible (except by undoing), whereas now we can "Revert
Rasterize". Instead you should use gimp_rasterizable_is_rasterized()
to determine whether to consider a GimpTextLayer as a raster layer
or as a text layer.
- GimpLabelEntry (libgimpwidgets) accepts a NULL value and will
convert it to empty string.
- gimp_file_load() as well as the image returned by a
GimpLoadProcedure are now always returned as "clean" and with empty
undo stack.
- gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail_data() and
gimp_drawable_get_sub_thumbnail_data() implementations updated to
always return sRGB(A) 8-bit.
- gimp_widget_free_native_handle() implementation improved and docs
updated with important information on how to use it (disregarding
the new information, crashes on Wayland may happen).

+ New enum types:
* GimpTextOutline
