Improved skin creation workflow for users who use a ton of skins in their projects.

Now GIMP remembers the last type of mask initialization, and you can use key + mouse click modifiers in layer previews to create, apply, or remove masks.

Another new feature that we hope to further develop is GUM a metadata language simple that helps to automatically create a more sensible user interface for GEGL filters.

PSD plug-in now supports a wider range of blending modes for layers, both for import and export: Linear Burn, Linear Light, Vivid Light, Pin Light and Hard Mix mixing modes. It also finally supports the export of layer groups and read / write the way to pass through them.
