Recommendations to backport for 2.10.36? - CmykStudent - 10-19-2023

Hi!

The 2.10.36 release is tentatively planned for the end of the month. I believe it's mainly a security update, prompted by recent issues such as the libwebp exploit. Still, there's time to backport some bugfixes/updates/small features from 2.99. I can't make any promises, but I wanted to ask if there were any recommendations? The bug tracker is here if you're not familiar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

Ideally suggestions would either already be in 2.99 or only affect 2.10, since everything has to be implemented in 2.99 first to prevent regressions. Thanks!

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/4807 appears fixed in 2.99 but not backported?

Is there a query that reports bugs closed with some code changes (ie, not "duplicate" or "won't fix" or else)?

Otherwise some of my own:

Thanks! I'll ask about updating the default resolution in 2.10 to 300 to match 2.99. It's a easy fix, but since it's the stable version there may be issues with changing how the import works.

I actually worked on the pixel-locked layer source request a while back and have a patch for it. I can't remember why I didn't submit - I'll dig it out and see if there were any bugs I don't remember. I'll look into the other two as well - thanks!

As an update, 2.10's default PDF import resolution will now be 300DPI starting with 2.10.36!

I have code for the pixel-locked layer source option that seems to work well also. I doubt it'll make it into 2.10.36 since it has to be reviewed for 2.99 first, but we'll see.
