Ovind Kolas (aka pippin) gave a demo of The GIMP's upcoming new core image processing library, GEGL, at the Piksel 06 festival in Norway.
http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/10/16/1342216 More info about GEGL is here: http://pippin.gimp.org/gegl/ I've been helping pippin by running gegl in OSDL's test harness (alongside our cairo testing); you can see the results via the 'tests' link on the above URL. This testing has uncovered and led to solution of a number of bugs, and pippin is now working on making use of the resources for doing performance tracking. Gegl is not yet as mature as Cairo, but could be equally as important to making the Linux desktop graphically rich. Since Gegl is LGPL'd, it is also potentially of interest for ISV's and open source projects who may wish to provide advanced photo manipulation type functionality in their applications. I'm hoping through our testing, we can assist in accelerating Gegl's maturity, stability, and performance.
