I guess it's obvious to some but I just recently learned about the single window mode even though I used gimp for years.

This really is an amazing milestone. Almost a decade of work getting up to here!

Well done Gimp devs, and everyone involved.

Finally catching up to Photoshop from 1992. Only 23 years behind!

but going a bit beyond that as well ;)

"Porting plugins to use GEGL buffers simply means that a filter can operate on whatever image data you throw it at, be it 8bit integer or 32bit per color channel floating point. Which is great, because e.g. Photoshop CS2 users who tried 32bit mode quickly learnt they couldn't do quite a lot, until at least CS4, released several years later." http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/gimp-2-9-2-released
