   - GExiv2 dependency bumped to 0.12.2 (fixing bothersome warnings on
     some unknown metadata domains).
   - libjxl dependency bumped to 0.6.1.
+  - New meson option -Dcan-crosscompile-gir=true to force
+    GObject-Introspection generation even when cross-compiling (some
+    people manage to do it, e.g. with Yocto).
+  - Added .clang-format file and new CI pipeline to verify coding-style
+    issues in merge requests.
+  - New tool `flatpak-releases` to easily list and install specific
+    versions of our flatpak builds, which can be a great help when
+    debugging or trying to bisect with released binaries.
+  - Important refactoring of icon builds:
+    * Whether using meson or autotools, and whether installing vector
+      icons or raster ones (with --disable-vector-icons), the same lists
+      are always used and no icons are missing. The new custom tool
+      tools/generate-icon-makefiles.py makes sure the Makefile list is
+      in sync with the meson one.
+      The lists are committed in icons/icon-lists/ with a "usage
+      grouping" logics when possible.
+    * PNG versions for Color and Symbolic icon themes should not be
+      committed anymore. The Symbolic PNG version are generated with
+      GTK tool gtk-encode-symbolic-svg and the Color PNG version are
+      rendered with a new custom tool tools/colorsvg2png.c.
+    * New weekly CI to build with raster icons on meson and autotools
+      and making sure the build systems are well synced.
+    * Meson's -Dvec-icons option renamed to -Dvector-icons.
