This new setting, "Simplify geometries to reduce output file size", is exposed in the SVG or PDF export settings dialogs shown when exporting a layout/atlas/report to PDF or SVG. If checked (the new default), geometries will be simplified while exporting layouts in order to remove any redundant vertices which are not discernably different at the export DPI. (e.g. if export DPI is 300 dpi, vertices less then 1/600 inch different from each other will be removed). This avoids exporting ALL geometry vertices during PDF/SVG export, which can result in a ridiculously complex and large export file size. Aside from the file size issues, it also causes problems when trying to load these outputs into other applications, e.g. Inkscape, which chokes on the huge number of vertices and grinds to a crawl.
