above item trees, and eye and lock icon switches in item tree cells.
- Symmetry dockable contents is now shown, yet deactivated, when no images are
opened, improving discoverability.
- Reworked the "Convert to * Working Space?" dialog into a "Keep the Embedded
Working Space?" one. Keeping an image working space is now the recommended
and default action. "Convert" became an explicit action requiring to click
(neither mapped to Enter nor Escape keys).
- "Floating Selection" renamed to "Floating Layer" or "Floating Mask"
depending on the type of item it applies to.
- "Floating Masks" are now drawn above the layer mask in the Layers dockable,
making the fact that they would anchor to the below layer mask (not the
layer) much more obvious.
- Pasting an image now creates a new layer by default (not a Floating Layer
anymore). The only 3 cases where we still have floating items are:
* when pasting into a layer mask;
* when doing quick copy/cut paste on-canvas with the Alt modifiers;
* when floating layers explicitly with the "Float" action.

* New option "Use extents of layer contents" to Align tool: this is similar
to first run "Crop to Content" on every layer to align or distribute
(without actually cropping the layers).
* Fine-grained align/distribute button sensitivity to make it more obvious
when an action would not make any change anyway.
* New anchor point setting (pivot widget) to choose which part of the target
items will be aligned or distributed.
* Get rid of various broken distribution actions.
* Distribution actions don't move the 2 extreme (top/bottom or left/right
depending on distribution direction) targets, but distribute all other
targets within their range. It is more consistent with how it works in
other software.
* Adding 2 "Distribute with evenly (horizontal|vertical) gaps" actions,
which distribute by keeping a common gap between objects instead of
between anchor points.
* Offset settings have been removed.

- TIFF:
* New toggle to optionally load reduced pages. We keep a heuristic to try
and guess whether these are thumbnails (single reduced image in the second
position), but it's only used to decide whether the option is checked by
default or not. It is now up to anyone to decide or not whether they want
to load these reduced images.

- The CI now generates a tarball containing the GIMP references,
generated by gi-docgen and g-ir-doc.
- Improved Clang 15.0.0 support.
- "win*-nightly" jobs were added back and are now more efficient with the
--output-dll-list option.
