GEGL provides a node/graph based API and framework for cached, interactive non-destructive image processing. GEGLs data flow image processing graphs are used by GIMP and other software like gnome-photos, imgflo and iconographer.

Highlights of changes in this release:

Core: • less locale dependent serializations/parameters • fix local raw file detection of ARW and CR2 files • gegl_memset_pattern performance improvement • clean up the way we drop references and free memory • static caching of some frequently used babl formats/types. • mipmap preview render code fixes for the following subset of operations: point
operations (filter, and composer subclasses), integer translate, crop.

Operations: • new ops: edge-neon, image-gradient, slic, wavelet-blur, waterpixels, watershed • moved from workshop to common: color-warp, component-extract • text: remove now unneeded work-around, ability to control vertical positioning, permit s hard dependencies babl and glib can be fetched from:
