+- Update to version 0.4.40:
+  + Operations:
+   - newsprint: do not drop alpha channel in RGB modes.
+  + Core:
+   - fixes for legacy build, still supporting building latest GEGL for
+    stable GIMP with old babl (not recommended if distros can have
+    recent enough meson.).
+   - avoiding possible multi thread race in babl garbage collection
