 </ul>

 <li>Added "Transparency Mode" to the Gradient tool</li>
 <li>The selection move handles and shape control point handles are now much easier to use when working on zoomed in or small images (#211, #223, #1173756, #1958924, #1958920)</li>
 <li>The File -&gt; New Screenshot command now uses the XDG screenshot portal if available. This fixes issues with taking screenshots under Wayland (#218, #1955841)</li>

 <li>Hidden layers are now round-tripped correctly for <code>.ora</code> files (#1377566)</li>
 <li>When saving a <code>.ora</code> file, a flattened image (<code>mergedimage.png</code>) is now included in the archive. This is required by the spec to accommodate viewer software (#1377566)</li>
 <li>Image or palette files that have an unknown extension but have valid contents can now be loaded (#1679570). The file dialog also now uses MIME types on Linux and macOS, allowing valid image files with unknown extensions to be included in the image file filter (#216)</li>
