We have just released new versions of GEGL<\/span><\/a> and babl<\/a>, the libraries that take all the heavy lifting for color space conversion and image processing in GIMP<\/span>. Both releases are considered a pre-requisite for doing a first 2.9 (development series) GIMP<\/span> release.<\/p>\n

The babl library got floating point conversions optimized. Additionally, HSV<\/span> and HSL<\/span> color models were added, CIE<\/span> LAB<\/span> conversions were fixed.<\/p>\n

Most exciting improvements, however, are in the new GEGL<\/span> release. A total of 71 new image processing operations were added: mostly these are ports of existing GIMP<\/span> filters. Some of the existing operations were improved, and some got OpenCL versions.<\/p>\n

Another focus of this release was performance: OpenCL support is now enabled by default when detected, there’s experimental multithreading support (use GEGL_THREADS= environment variable) and experimental mipmap rendering (use GEGL_MIPMAP_RENDERING=true environment variable). There’s also a new default tile backend that writes to disk in a separate thread.<\/p>\n

The Grid<\/a> project contributed several major improvements: support for using URIs in image loaders and the loading of meta-operations in JSON<\/span><\/a>, created with imgflo’s online graph editor.<\/p>\n

GEGL<\/span>’s website now features a gallery<\/a> of available operations and an API<\/span> browser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This release of GEGL<\/span> was brought to you through contributions from 92 people.
\nRespective source code downloads are available on gimp.org: babl 0.1.12<\/a>, GEGL<\/span> 0.3.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is still a lot of work to be done. If you are interested to contribute ports of GIMP<\/span> filters to GEGL<\/span> or entirely new GEGL<\/span> operations, please visit our wiki<\/a> and join #gegl on irc.gimp.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
