+Title: Google Summer of Code 2010 Results
+Date: 2010-10-04
+Category: News
+Authors: Alexandre Prokoudine
+
+This year GIMP participated in the annual Google Summer of Code program with three projects. Two out of 
three projects have been successful: Cage transform tool in GIMP and HDR and matting functions in GEGL.
+
+The new Cage transform tool allows doing shape-preserving deformations of objects. The tool is based on a 
[research 
paper](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~lipmanya/GC/gc_techrep.pdf) by 
Yaron Lipman, David Levin and Daniel Cohen-Or, and was implemented by Michael Muré. The tool is implemented 
on top of a GEGL operation that can be reused to create more transformation tools. For more information 
please refer to Michael's [blog](http://pellelatarte.fr/en/) or 
[description](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-gimp/wiki/CageTool)
 of the project's outcome. The code lives in 
[soc-2010-cage-2](http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/?h=soc-2010-cage-2) branch.
+
+A project by Danny Robson resulted in a number of new, mostly HDR related features in GEGL: a standalone HDR 
merge tool, RGBE loading and saving, three tone mapping operators and one matting operator. You can read 
about them in details on the [project's 
page](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-gimp/wiki/HdrMatting).
+
+The Cage transform tool is likely to be included in version 2.10, and features implemented by Danny Robson 
will be available in the next release of GEGL.

+Title: Plans for 2.8 and Beyond
+Date: 2011-01-11
+Category: News
+Authors: Alexandre Prokoudine
+
+In the face of all sorts of rumours and interpretations about the future of the project there is a call for 
clarification regarding development of GIMP.
+
+Currently GIMP team is working on finalizing the new stable v2.8 with many improvements such as layer 
groups, improved brush dynamics, a new unique transformation tool, optional single-window mode and more. 
There are two big obstacles in our way right now: missing specification on the last change in user interface 
and broken graphic tablets support in GTK+.
+
+We have already invested a lot of time into UI changes and brush dynamics, we treasure your continuous 
support for the project and thus we are determined to release v2.8 only when it's working out of box as 
expected for everybody.
+
+After releasing v2.8 the focus of development will shift to deep integration of GEGL — our new 
non-destructive image processing core. Results of this work will enable many features considered critical for 
use of GIMP in professional environment which is part of GIMP's product vision. It's a lot of work, and 
currently we don't have enough developers to make this change happen very fast. If you want to help us to get 
there faster, we encourage you to join 
[gimp-developer](https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list) mailing list and/or the [IRC 
channel](http://www.gimp.org/irc.html) to discuss how you could contribute.

+Title: Two Interns to Work on GIMP's Usability
+Date: 2011-02-02 
+Category: News
+Authors: Alexandre Prokoudine
+
+Since 2006 our project has been collaborating with Peter Sikking of [m+mi 
works](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://mmiworks.net/eng/aboutus/index.html) to improve 
GIMP's usability. Peter is behind many positive changes in GIMP's UI, such as new selection tools in v2.4 and 
v2.6, as well as some new features in upcoming v2.8.
+
+This year m+mi works is making a new step to further strengthen our partnership and is now looking for two 
interns to work on GIMP's interaction design for 3-6 months. You will work in Berlin and as contributor to 
the GIMP project you will travel to [Libre Graphics Meeting](http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011/) in May, 
in Montreal. Please read the [full 
announcement](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://mmiworks.net/eng/aboutus/jobs.html) for 
details and contacts.

+Title: GEGL 0.1.6 and babl 0.1.4
+Date: 2011-02-13
+Category: News
+Authors: Alexandre Prokoudine
+
+After a year of work new versions of GEGL, new non-destructive image processing core, and babl, a bitmap 
format conversion library, are out with several major changes.
+
+The new version of GEGL features code created during Google Summer of Code 2010 by Danny Robson and Michael 
Muré. Danny Robson created GEGL operations for loading and saving RGBE images (HDR), merging exposure 
brackets into HDR and three tonemapping operations, as well as a matting operation. You can read more about 
his project 
[here](https://web.archive.org/web/20110417075931/http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-gimp/wiki/HdrMatting).
 Michael Muré created a new map-absolute operations that provides pixel mapping render capability for new 
Cage transform tool, expected in upcoming GIMP 2.8.
+
+Another major change is support for pluggable buffers that will assist transition of GIMP to using GEGL 
buffers directly, as well as provide means of using arbitrary buffers (think Google Maps).
+
+JPEG2000 and PPM loaders and savers for GEGL were contributed by Mukund Sivaraman, and some existing GIMP 
filters were ported to GEGL operations by Alexia Death, Barak Itkin and Andy Gill.
+
+The babl library has less changes, but one of the important ones is support for n-component formats.
+
+There's still a lot of work to be done on GEGL. Øyvind Kolås created a [list of high priority 
tasks](ttp://gegl.org/contribute.html) that need solving. If you wish to contribute, don't hesitate to join 
[gegl-developer](https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gegl-developer-list) mailing list and/or 
[IRC](http://www.gimp.org/irc.html) (#gegl on irc.gimp.org) and ask around.
