+
+Last weekend, we released a new version of [GEGL](http://gegl.org/), graph based image processing framework 
used by GIMP and other free/libre graphics applications. Here are some of the most important changes.
+
+The new version features copy-on-write handling for the gegl_buffer_clear function. This should make 
clearing of buffers an initially cheaper and faster operation, with the actual allocation of tile memory 
(copying) amortised over subsequent pixel data writes to the buffer.
+
+There are two new operations: Saturation (works in both CIE LAB and CIE LCH color spaces) and the port of 
GIMP's Selective Gaussian Blur filter. The operations for loading and saving video frames have been updated 
to work with FFmpeg 3.0. We also disabled the dcraw-based operation for loading raw images by default: the 
[LibRaw](http://www.libraw.org/)-based operation does the job just as well and provides a better API.
+
+Additionally, there have been some improvements in the 'gegl' binary: now you can change graph composition 
(namely, connect buffers to aux and other input pads) via the command line, and when a project is loaded for 
viewing, you can zoom in/out at cursor position on scroll wheel events.
+
+GEGL 0.3.6 is available at [download.gimp.org](http://download.gimp.org/pub/gegl/0.3/).
+
+There are still many GIMP filters to be [rewritten as GEGL 
operations](http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Porting_filters_to_GEGL). Contributions are welcome!
