Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.4 to GIMP 2.8.6
=================================================

Core:

 - Fix saving to URIs, it was broken to only allow exporting, and fix
   save/export of compressed files
 - Fix brush spacing for drawing in any direction
 - Increase the maximum size of clipboard brushes and patterns to 1024x1024
 - Make sure data objects are saved when only their name was changed

GUI:

 - Don't allow single-window docks to shrink smaller than their requisition
 - Make sure a single-window's right docks keep their size across sessions
 - Allow to change the spacing of non-generated brushes again
 - In single-window mode, make Escape move the focus to the canvas,
   and beep if the focus is already there
 - Be smarter about unavailable fonts, and don't crash
 - Make clicking the single-window's close button quit GIMP
 - Make view-close (Ctrl+W) only close image windows and tabs, not docks

Libgimp:

 - Add SIGNED_ROUND() which also rounds negative values correctly

Plug-ins:

 - Make GIMP_PLUGIN_DEBUG work again after GLib changed logging
 - Fix zealous crop for transparent borders

Installer:

 - Add Hungarian translation

Data:

 - Add a default "Color from Gradient" dynamics and tool preset

General:

 - Lots of bug fixes
