Could you please explain WHAT you took over , Wolfgang Hofner left GAP development and you are continuing the project ?
A bit off topic maybe you may help me to find the most recent version (not build but the code for the last beta ) of GAP ? Found it seems no so easy as should
I took over the Transifex translation project, which is strictly unofficial, but some people like to use Transifex.
I still can't post links, but GIMP Chat has a thread called "Exact Align via 4-Point Path" and there on page 2 is this quote from the GIMP mailing list:

Most recently Wolfgang added GUI for the exact align

And this seems more true every day (that it is not abandoned):

3- fixed german menuname translations. Translated message must keep the prefix "<Image>"
4 (that must NOT be translated to "<Bild>")
5
6 fixes lots of translation warnings at Gimp startup with
7 in german setting (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8)
8 that look like this:
9
10 bad translation "<Bild>/Ebene/Transparanz/"
11 for menu path "<Image>/Layer/Transparency/"
12 (<Prefix> must not be translated)

20- Performance relevant changes for storyboard when rendering
21 large images.
22 o) gap_frame_fetcher supports caching of prescaled images.
23 o) storyboard render processor look ahead when processing
24 frame types GAP_FRN_IMAGE or GAP_FRN_ANIMIMAGE
25 and calculate the max prescale size.
26
27 look ahead as far as the same imagename is used.

31 - "gap-image-delete-workarond"
32
33 The workaround disables undo and scales the image down to miniumum size
34 before calling the gimp_image_delete procedure.
35 this way memory resources for big layers will be freed up immediate.
36
37 Note that this workaround implematation is already present in previous
38 GIMP-GAP versions but now can be turned off via gimprc configuration.
39
40 When using GIMP-GAP with gimp-2.6.x it is recommanded to enable this workaround
41 (otherwise encoding videos or stroryboard editing may quickly run out of memory
42 because lots of internally rendering is done by creating temporary images
43 and deletes them immediate after processing).
44
45 This workaround may not be required when GIMP-GAP is used with newer gimp
46 versions. (not yet tested)

56- Speed up for the BlendFill filter.
57 Use tile chache and write back only changed rows/columns
58 for performance reasons.
