 Another increasingly active contributor in the GEGL project is Debarshi Ray who uses the library for his 
project, GNOME Photos. Debarshi focused mostly on GEGL operations useful for digital photography such as 
exposure and shadows-highlights, and did quite a lot of bugfixing. We also got a fair share of contributions 
from Thomas Manni who added some interesting experimental filters like SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative 
Clustering) and improved existing filters.
 
-At least some of the work done by Øyvind Kolås on both GEGL and GIMP this year was sponsored by you, the 
GIMP community, via [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/pippin) and [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/pippin) 
platforms. Please see his [post on 2017 crowdfunding 
results](https://www.patreon.com/posts/first-year-on-15787128) for details and consider supporting him. 
Improving GEGL is crucial for GIMP to become a state-of-the art professional image editing program. Over the 
course of 2017, programming activity in GEGL increased by 120% in terms of commits, and we'd love to see the 
dynamics keep up in 2018 and onwards.
+Changes in GEGL and babl in 2017 included (but are not limited to) 15 new filters, improvements in mipmap 
processing and multi-threading computations, a video editing engine called _gcut_, more fast paths to convert 
pixel data between various color spaces, support for custom RGB primaries and TRC, ICC color profiles parsing 
and generation, and numerous bugfixes.

 Even though the focus of another crowdfunded effort by Jehan Pagès and Aryeom Han is to create an [animated 
short movie](https://film.zemarmot.net/), Jehan Pagès contributed roughly 1/5 of code changes this year, 
fixing bugs, improving painting-related features, maintaining GIMP official Flatpak, and these statistics 
don't even count the work on a much more sophisticated animation plug-in currently available in a [dedicated 
Git branch](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/?h=wip/animation). Hence supporting this project results in 
better user experience for GIMP users. You can help fund Jehan and Aryeom on 
[Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/ZeMarmot), [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot) or

-We also want to thank Julien Hardelin who has been a great help in updating the user manual for upcoming 
v2.10, as well as all the translators and people who contributed patches. They don't get nearly as much 
praise as they deserve.

further work on the new website, and Michael Schumacher for tireless bug triaging. They all don't get nearly 
as much praise as they deserve.
 
 Happy 2018!
