 Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.99.12 to GIMP 2.99.14
 =====================================================
 
+Core:
+
+  - The download button in About dialog when a new version is available
+    will now show the development download page when running unstable
+    branch code.
+  - The update check on macOS now uses native HTTPS-able API, so that we
+    don't have to wait for GIO to have HTTPS modules for macOS.
+
+Plug-ins:
+
+  - PDF:
+    * Export code was ported to GimpProcedureDialog.
+    * New "root-layers-only" argument to "file-pdf-save", which comes
+      with a checkbox in the export dialog to allow exporting as pages
+      the root layers only. The main usage is to organize your pages'
+      contents in layer groups.
+
 Build:
 
   - meson requirement bump to meson 0.56.0.
+  - Many fixes to the meson build scripts, making it closer to be our
+    official build for GIMP 3.0.
+  - The CI now generates a tarball containing the GIMP references,
+    generated by gi-docgen and g-ir-doc.
