https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/compare/GIMP_2_10_34...GIMP_2_10_36

Changelog 
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.34 to GIMP 2.10.36
=====================================================

Core:

  - Disable Arbitrary Rotation menus (under both Image and Layer menus) if no
    image is active, for consistency.
  - New gradient available: FG to Transparent (Hardedge) gradient.
  - A change in linuxwacom made some graphics tablet crash GIMP. Though the
    issue is in the driver (downgrading it "fixes" the issue), it was bad enough
    that a workaround was also added in GIMP code so that we don't crash with
    the newer driver. A fix was also merged on linuxwacom itself:
    https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/issues/307
    https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/pull/309
  - New palette import supports:
    * Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE)
    * Adobe Color Book (ACB)
  - Generated Brush previews are now rotated clockwise with the brush angle,
    which goes against the documentation. Nevertheless this is how angles were
    used on canvas in the 2.10 branch until now, so to avoid breaking existing
    workflows while having consistent preview, we chose to follow actual
    on-canvas usage over documentation. It may be re-evaluated for GIMP 3.

Tool:

  - Text tool:
    * When replacing a selection, take and apply markup (if any) from
      the first character of the selection for the entered text. This fixes the
      case when you no longer can change the global layer text properties after
      replacing the text.
    * Set the blank font name for the standard font instead of 'Standard'
      to fix the issue when 'Standard' can be actual font from the list or a
      font which starts with (e.g. Standard Symbols PS).

User Interface:

  - Item tree view lock boxes:
    * now separately themable with gtkrc;
    * showing a white frame when hovering over lock buttons;
    * showing a small padlock next the lock icon when it's active.
  - Add Table of Contents to User Manual submenu (in Help menu).

Plug-ins:

  - Fixed vulnerabilities:
    * DDS: ZDI-CAN-22093
    * PSD: ZDI-CAN-22094
    * PSP: ZDI-CAN-22096 and ZDI-CAN-22097
  - JPEG-XL: support libjxl v0.9 decoding API.
  - Metadata editor: more DigitalSourceType values.
  - PDF are now loaded at 300PPI by default.
  - GIF:
    * Added support of non-square aspect ratio by setting different vertical and
      horizontal resolution when a loaded file has the PixelAspectRatio metadata
      set.
  - Various more file format fixes (at least GIF, PDF import, HEIF/AVIF, JPEG
    XL, XWD, DDS) and various fixes in non-file format related plug-ins too.
  - Image Map: HTTPS scheme now accepted in the URL field.

Libgimpbase:

  - Do not save Photoshop specific EXIF metadata when exporting images because
    they can contain sensitive data and we cannot update them.
  - We now update Exif.Photo.PixelX/YDimension Exif tags when resizing and
    exporting (but only if they were already present, as they are
    non-essential).

Translation:

  - 20 translations were updated: Belarusian, Catalan, Chinese (China), Danish,
    Dutch, Georgian, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian,
    Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,
    Ukrainian.

Build:

  - Added code in the Windows installer script for the ARM 64-bit build, bundled
    into the same universal installer (though the first experimental installer
    with Aarch64 support was for GIMP 2.10.34 revision 2).
