+  * Mac packaging:
+    * The distribution is now "universal" (Apple Silicon + Intel cpu), to conform with future Apple requirements and avoid current warning messages.
+  * User interface:
+    * Initial size for retouching brush is increased to 100 pixels.
+    * If source file is not found, open search navigator in parent folder of project.
+    * Added "Copy All" in context menu for text fields such as console log window.
+    * jdk.accessibility is now supported (including Java Access Bridge on Windows).
+  * Launch configuration:
+    * Added -showjavaconsole debug option for Windows launch programs.
+    * Display system accelerations are now disabled by default on all platforms, for improved resistance to computer quirks.
+    * Added Options > Preferences > Look & Feel > "Use operating system display accelerations" to override the new default.
+    * Added zerenstk.cfg tag "LaunchConfiguration.JVM.PersistentArgs" to allow custom configurations without altering installation files.
+  * Bug fixes:
+    * Image orientation specified by EXIF tag was not honored.
+    * EXIFPropagator would occasionally fail with special characters in Windows username.
