+The GNU Image Manipulation Program Version 2.2
+----------------------------------------------
+
+This is version 2.2 of The GIMP. Version 2.2 is an update on GIMP 2.0.
+GIMP 2.2 is fully backward compatible to GIMP 2.0. Plug-ins and
+scripts written for GIMP 2.0 will continue to work and don't need to
+be changed nor recompiled to be used with GIMP 2.2.  We do however
+hope that plug-in authors will update their plug-ins for GIMP 2.2 and
+adapt the GUI changes we did with this version.
+
+Please follow the installation instructions in INSTALL.
+
+
+Overview of Changes in GIMP 2.2.0 (since 2.2-pre2 was released)
+=================================
+
+- More work on GFig plug-in.
+
+- Build fixes for Win32 and IRIX.
+
+- Added --no-splash command-line option for gimp-remote.
+
+- More tweaks to the migration of user settings.
+
+- Improved input controller modules, added ALSA support to the MIDI module.
+
+- Allow to transform layers with masks.
+
+- Let the histogram respect the selection.
+
+- Added gimp_edit_copy_visible as a replacement for the "Copy Visible" script.
+
+- Improved color dithering routines.
+
+- Lots of bug fixes and some optimizations.

+

+
+- Further improvements to the new input controllers; added a keyboard
+  controller.
+
+- Show image preview in GFig plug-in, started a complete overhaul.
+
+- Added Difference of Gaussians edge detection plug-in.
+
+- Added more possibilities for drag'n'drop:
+   * layers dialog accepts URI, color and pattern drops
+   * path dialog takes and offers DND of SVG data
+

+  application that behaves like 'gimp --no-interface' and doesn't link
+  to GTK+ at all.
+
+- Deprecated GimpPixmap and ported almost all users to GtkImage.
+
+- Moved display projection code into a GimpProjection object. This means
+  there's finally only a single projection per image.

+  the cubic interpolation routine.
+
+- Show the brush outline while painting.
+
+- Added an interface that allows to add controller modules. Such a module
+  can dispatch events to The GIMP which are mapped to actions by a
+  user-configurable mapping table.  Added controller modules for mouse

+
+
+Overview of Changes in GIMP 2.1.0
+=================================
+
+GIMP 2.1.0 includes the following enhancements over GIMP 2.0:
+
+ - Major user interface improvements.
+
+   * Large parts of the GIMP user interface have been changed to 
+     comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. This is
+     an ongoing effort and the interface may still be inconsistent in
+     a few places.
+
+   * Users are now allowed to clear the undo history.
+
+   * The unit to be used for the rulers and the coordinates display is now
+     a display property and can be changed in the statusbar of the image
+     window.
+
+   * New widgets and frameworks provided by GTK+ 2.4 are used; this means
+
+     + uses the new GtkFileChooser dialog, vastly improving the file
+       dialogs.
+     + includes port of menus to GtkUIManager, which creates all core
+       menus from XML files at runtime. This means that menu items can
+       be rearranged by users simply by editing these files.
+     + uses a global accelerator table in all docks and image windows.
+       This means that a hotkey will do the same thing regardless of
+       which dock or image window you are using.
+     + adds replacement widgets based on GtkComboBox for most uses of
+       GtkOptionMenu (GimpUnitMenu remains to be ported)
+     + adds GimpContainerEntry, a GtkEntry with completion based on
+       the contents of a GimpContainer.
+     + makes the order and visibility of tools in the toolbox configurable
+     + allows keeping toolbox and dock windows above other windows (if
+       the WM supports this hint)
+
+   * The toolbox now has an optional preview of the active image.
+
+   * The image window now accepts file/uri drops.
+
+ - More internal cleanup and refactoring of the core object model.
+
+ - The brush rendering code has been separated from the generic paint
+   tool code. The ink tool is now a paint tool (it can do straight
+   lines) and the new infrastructure allows to implement new kinds of
+   paint methods like vector based painting.
+
+ - Gradients can now be created, deleted, renamed and edited through
+   the PDB.
+
+ - Some changes to plug-ins.
+
+   * Plug-ins can now register the same procedures in multiple places (the
+     API to register menu entries has been changed in a backward-compatible 
+     fashion).
+
+   * Plug-ins can now optionally register a menu icon.
+
+   * File plug-ins can now register a mime-type.
+
+   * All plug-in dialogs have been reviewed and changed to make them
+     comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
+
+   * All plug-ins that need to access files use the new GtkFileChooser
+     dialog.
+
+   * The obsolete AlienMap and GIcon plug-ins were removed.  AlienMap2
+     does everything than AlienMap did, and the GIMP-specific GIcon format
+     has not been used by anything for quite some time now.
+
+   * A plug-in to load and save windows icon files has been added.
