I expect it would be straightforward to implement this without
breaking XCF (e.g. by keeping the existing mode as an option that's
hidden unless you are editing a legacy file), so it seems to be more
an issue of priorities and available resources. Note that
"straightforward" doesn't translate to "q
It's an unjustified escalation to think of improved rendering in a new version
as breaking the XCF file format. The file format would be the same. It's only
"broken" if you make it so, if you insist on handling the new rendering through
the file format. It's worth noting, however, that XCF is

There is no requirement to have back compatability, so trying to open an xcf
file with this new layer mode would fa
