Hi,

Correction: the vector layer code is in its own branch and it is not going to be part of the 2.4 release. It will not be merged to HEAD until after the 2.4 release.

That is not correct, the code is in the soc2006-vector-layers branch in CVS and will not be merged with HEAD before 2.4, since this is such a drastic change, that needs way more user testing before we release it in the wild.

That having said, I am really glad about this project, it works quite nicely already, although there is of course a lot of room for polishing.

Thanks for the corrections.

Divyanshu's blog has no download links, registry.gimp.org knows nothing about "wavelet" and it's not clear if his code is going to make its way to 2.4 or after 2.4, or will be available as plug-ins at registry.gimp.org sometime later. Any updates on this please?

Plug-ins are typically developped outside CVS, so they're not in the repository. They didn't get put into the registry either, but, well, the registry sucks a bit and badly needs replacing.

Simon listed this tarball as the place to get the source code in the Google SoC report.

Considered he started well, is there some initial code for others to start from?

No idea. You could ask Andrey himself, or his mentor, Michael Schumacher.

Cheers, Dave.
