Now we are at 129 bugs, 9 major and 18 crashes. I took a look at the major
bugs that I thought should be fixed before the release:

No idea about that. Lukas were you looking at that?

This is a problem with the tile compression, which takes way to long. Using
the legacy mode helps, but then the file size explodes. I tried rle
compression which keeps the size down, but that wasn't better than the
current performance.

Can't reproduce this one.

Can't reproduce this either.

There is a problem with all the filter that don't support threading. These
don't support filter mask, so the preview is broken. For now I suggest that
we turn off the preview for all non-threadable filters.

Not sure if that's a regression or if that bug existed for some time.
Couldn't find any signal for that.

Either fix or turn off filterop.

Once a shape selection is made all the tools will be locked.

Text shape is still there, but at a completely different place. Needs
someone that know flake.


Beside that there are a few filter that are not working:
-Bumpmap/Phong Bumpmap
-Emboss
-Oilpaint is so slow that pratically not useable

Unless someone comes up with a fix, I suggest to disable these filter for
the release.
