[Gimp-user] GEGL-0.3.2

[Øyvind Kolås <pippin gimp org>]

GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a graph based image processing framework.

GEGL provides a graph based API and framework to do demand driven, cached, non
destructive image editing of sparse storage of larger than RAM images - using
CPU or GPU processing. Through babl it provides support for a wide, and
extendable, range of color models and pixel storage formats for input and
output.

To build gegl-0.3.2 you will also need babl-0.1.14 and a recent version of glib,
follow see the output of the configure script for details and optional
dependencies.

Changes in this release:

 • Operations:
   • new operations: libraw based raw loading op, tiff-save and
tif-load, maze, sepia
   • ff-load and ff-save revived, with support from thegrid.io
   • apply-lens uses less memory, higher precision computation.
   • disable automatic threading on many ops where it fails
   • force more operations to prefer operating on linear RGB data for more
     accurate/physical processing.
 • Buffer:
   • implement abyss paremeter on gegl_buffer_copy and gegl_buffer_blit
 • Added start of a microraptor gui based image viewer/non destructive editor.
 • Optimizations to scaled blitting (speeds up most GEGL UIs a bit)
