- glycin 3.0.0-alpha
- libglycin 2.0.0-alpha.2
- libglycin-gtk4 2.0.0-alpha.2
- glycin-heif 2.0.0-alpha.2
- glycin-jxl 2.0.0-alpha.2

### Added

- Added specific error for when requesting the next frame and there are no more
  frames left.
- Pooled loaders and editors. Pooled loaders will re-use existing loader
  processes, without having to go through the costly process of spawning a new
  loader. Using pooled loaders will drastically increase the speed for loading a
  lot of small images, like, for example, thumbnails. Loader and editor pools
  are now used by default. Loader processes are spawned on demand. The pools are
  not shared between processes or apps.
- Return `key_value` metadata from PNG's tEXt and zTXt chunks.
- glycin: Create loaders from bytes in memory or a `GInputStream` instead of a
  `GFile`.
- glycin: Support setting accepted memory formats. If a texture isn't using a
  specifieds memory format, it will be transformed into one specified as
  supported.

### Fixed

- Previously, loaders could exit early if the thread in which they were created
  was terminated.

### Changed

- Exposing the base directory is no longer enabled by default. For loading SVGs
  that include external images, `loader.use_expose_basedir(true)` has to be
  used.
- Use a new loader/editor D-Bus API version 2+ and simultanously bump libglycin
  to 2.0 and glycin (Rust API) to 3.0. This was required for supporting pooled
  loaders.
