** The image commands have changed key bindings.

In previous Emacs versions, the '+', '-' and 'r' keys were bound when
point was over an image. In Emacs 29.1, additional commands have been
added, and this made it more likely that users would trigger the image
commands by mistake. To avoid this, all image commands have been
moved to the 'i' prefix keymap, so '+' is now 'i +', '-' is now 'i -',
and 'r' is now 'i r'. In addition, these commands are now repeating,
so, for example, you can rotate an image twice by typing 'i r r'.
