Both files should always be synchronized (as development branch will one
day continue on the 2.10 series). Best practice would be that any change
to the AppData is first done on `master`, then cherry-picked to
`gimp-2-10` (even for stable release metadata).
It just says "The GIMP team" so it's kind of redundant/useless, but I
noticed that Flathub would just display an empty "Developer" section
because the tag is absent. Well at least it emphasizes the
community-developed side of GIMP.
I wrote down the wrong option name (based on some Gaussian Blur specific
option). My mistake was to make a quick check in GIMP itself instead of
properly looking at the relevant commit message and code change.
Thanks to Sabri Ünal for raising this issue.
Before each release, we prepare now a <release> tag. Unfortunately some
details are not always well known for sure in advance, in particular the
date of release (plans are made to be broken!), and also the release
news URL (since the date is in the URL). So I usually leave them as TODO
and until now, I never forgot to update them just before release. But
there is always the risk of forgetting.
Now the test for the appdata files will also look for remaining "TODO"
in the file if and only if the micro version is even (which means it's a
release). So we won't ever forget to update the file as long as we run
`make check` on the last commit (which we always do obviously).
It got disabled in commit 0492157dd2 because of a bug in appstream-util,
which has been fixed for monthes now. Let's just reenable it and assume
anyone who wants to run a `make check` on GIMP uses a recent
distribution with up-to-date system tools.
Please everyone, feel free to update the list of upcoming
changes/features, if you feel some particular change should be more
prominently exposed in this list (or at the opposite that some change is
not worth mentionning), or for rewording, etc.
Also remove '.' at end of some <li>. `appstream-util` does not like full
stops in item lists, when in `validate-strict` mode (we don't test in
this mode, but it is worth improving the warning list a bit).
And uncommenting the <release> tag for translators to be able to work on
it. Also using short list items without finale points to agree with
`appstream-util` rules.
The 2 major changes seem to be the much-awaited font loading in
background, and this new "Auto straighten" option on Measurement tool.
Please everyone, feel free to tweak the release description while it is
still commented out. Once we remove the comment tags, it will be
submitted for translation.
