GEGL-0.4.16 2019-05-07

Buffer

Swapped behavior of cubic interpolation from cubic to mithcell coefficients, leading to crisper results in all uses of the cubic sampler.

Use a custom allocator for tile data which aligns data and groups allocations in blocks - improving performance on windows by keeping more slack allocation memory in-process. On linux the opposite was needed and is achieved by using the GNU extension malloc_trim which permits forcing invokation of the glibc malloc/free allocators garbage collection function.

Permit tiles to be unreffed after GEGL shut-down without crash, which is likely when using bindings to dynamic languages.

Improved deadlock prevention in gegl_buffer_copy() when using copy on write.

Core

Platform specific build fixes for both win32 and OSX.

Avoid in-place processing for cached nodes.

Indentation consitency improvements.

Permit more detailed specifying/overriding of OpenCL device through the GEGL_USE_OPENCL environment variable.

New call gegl_update_anim_time for applying the animation curves of properties.

Build

Smaller required/invalided ROI for map-absolute/relative when using nearest neighbor.

tiff-save and jpg-save fixed dimensions when buffer saved has non-zero origin

Added missing descriptions of properties for cubism, mosaic, tile-paper, color, mantiuk06 and vignette operations.

ff-load fix some of the deprecation warnings.

ff-save avoid crashing if audio or video codec fails to initialize.

cache, parent class changed - it is no longer a point operations, also speed up processing and permit copy on write handling of tiles.

opacity and invert - crash for 8bpc buffers, reimplemented logic for (non-)associated alpha OpenCL kernel selection.

Tools

Drop direct dependency on exiv2 - we now only transiently depend on it through the gexiv2 abstraction.

commandline tool/gui

Store per image editing chains in .gegl folder instead of sidecars.

Set window title, permit interaction with opened .lui documents, fixed playback of audio for opened videos - it now works; if the video is decoding, scaling and display is fast enough to leave spare cycles.

Support for nearest neighbor scaling of imagry; aiding video playback without dropping audio frames.

Custom collection order and per-file key-value metadata.

GEGL-0.4.6 2018-07-23

Up until now GEGL has been using a color space corresponding to scRGB as an unbounded device independent/possibly scene-referred HDR color space - with a similar approach to to how ACEScg works but with a worse set of RGB primaries. babl formats, represented by a pointer and a corresponding encoding/format string have been used to specify the specific encoding of pixel values. The encoding including component order, data type and TRC encoding. Where "RGBA float" means 32bit float data and "R’G'B' u8" the ' indicates non-linear, and thus this is sRGB. "RaGaBaA half" gives premultiplied linear half data. Other encodings and conversions are also provided through these formats including "CIE Lab float" and "HSV float".

As a color management workflow for scene-referred imaging the above could be sufficient, but GIMP needs data in the 0.0-1.0 range for some display referred blending modes to work properly. As a consequence of this recognized short-coming GIMP has been passing the pixels of for instance ProPhoto "R’G'B’A float" off as "R’G'B’A float" and linear ProPhoto "RGBA float" as "RGBA float" this works for single operations, but falls apart when the colors are converted to CIE Lab. This is the good enough state where the other benefits of having a stable release powered by GEGL outweighed not being entirely correct.

Since babl 0.1.32 of october 2017, all babl formats have an associated unchangable space associated with them, and since then GeglBuffer has worked correctly with it - since GeglBuffers use of babl API did not change. GIMP is already using these parts of babl for ICC matrix based conversions since using babl for ICC profile transforms is an order of magnitude faster than using the lcms2 library. It took time to come up with the above scheme of integrating arbitrary primaries and curves for spaces with babl in a maintainable manner, and it has taken until the last month to come up with a full plan for the rest of GEGL to be aware of and handling arbirary parametric ICC v2/v4 based color spaces for operations; without limiting the ability to extend and use the code for a wide range of scenarios.

A space can be constructed from a preferenced name/specification, loaded/saved from ICC matrix profiles or constructed and serialized to whitepoint + rgb chromaticities / xyz matrix. More recently an additional trc mark has been added ~, giving this vocabulary for RGB formats, in addition to variants with alpha and pre-multiplied alpha variants of the same:

"RGB"     linear      primaries from space, linear data
"R'G'B'"  non-linear  primaries from space, TRCs from space
"R~G~B~"  perceptual  primaries from space, sRGB TRC

When creating device independent CIE based spaces they also get passed a space, this means that we can convert CIE Lab to RGB float, keeping track of which space / ICC profile the data correspond to.

GEGL operations now construct their desired encodings of formats by taking the space of buffers on input pads into account. By default, for composers "input" wins over "aux" to determine ops space. If an operation is not ported, data will be converted to sRGB on input and sRGB will come out of the node.

Buffer loaders PNG, JPG, TIFF and EXR generate custom spaces based on ICC profiles/primaries. The corresponding savers saves color space information. A new save handler for the .icc extension, acts like an image storer but only saves the ICC profile of the buffer it gets on input.

With no additional operations inserted, this now means that GEGL graphs operate on linear / non-linear variants of the color space used in the input images without conversion. The new operations gegl:cast-space and gegl:convert-space provide means of overriding this behavior, see the new section about color management in the gegl-chain syntax documentation at http://gegl.org/gegl-chain.html

Initial work has started on making GIMP also use of and propagate color space information along with encoding in babl formats, changes which also will be integrated in the 2.10 branch.

Other changes to operations:

vignette: fixes to gamma property

New operations:

cast-space: assign/override color space
convert-space: convert to a different color space
litte-planet: stereographic-mapping split out of the panorama-projection

GEGL-0.4.2 2018-05-15

Build

Abort early if autoreconf fails, remove unused bits, default to -Ofast as CFLAGS.

GeglBuffer

Improve concurrency for trimming and destruction of tile caches. Improve cache invalidation during partial mipmap regeneration.

Do new cheap clones of buffers with new internal gegl-buffer backed tile-backend.

Do not keep cached sampler in buffer it makes cache invalidation hard, and for performance/threading it is better to create ones own samplers anyways. The old API still exists, though parts of it is now deprecated. The single special case where gegl_buffer_sample remains somewhat performant is with the NEAREST sampler, for all other samplers creating a caching sampler is better.

Operations

operation: add GeglOperationAreaFilter::get_abyss_policy() vfunc Copyright notice improvements to spherize, color-overlay. ff-save: implement defines handling compilation with ffmpeg 2.3-2.7, 4.0 compat.

Added abyss-policy to base class for scale ops, making it possible to achieve hard edges on rescaled buffers.

GeglBuffer

Improved performance and correctness, avoid incorrectly gamma/ungamma correcting alpha in u8 formats, for a tiny 2-3% performance boost.

GEGL-0.3.30 2018-03-19

GeglBuffer:

gegl_buffer_get now treats the final argument, which used to control only abyss behavior as a bit-field that also can have interpolation method to use when scaling down from the next larger mipmap level, valid values are GEGL_BUFFER_FILTER_NEAREST, GEGL_BUFFER_FILTER_BILINEAR, GEGL_BUFFER_FILTER_BOXFILTER and GEGL_BUFFER_FILTER_AUTO.

All scaling is now done on linear data, making future results of mipmap computations more valid as well as providing correct results for scaled down thumbnails in user interfaces. Optimized code paths have been added for 8bit buffers (using 12bit linear as processing space) and other formats like 16bit float are now correctly handled by going through generic code paths.

The scaling code paths has also been instrumented and optimized for performance. Improvements to pixel data fetching and setting functions leads to performance boosts across many GEGL operations, as well as display code paths in GEGL using applications. For some performance critical display cases performance should have improved 2-3x over last release.

Improvements to logic switching to boxfiltering behavior and improve cubic samplers box filtering by using a linear sampler and a nearest sampler for the boxfiltering for the linear sampler. This slows down scaling down with the cubic sampler by half, but is less prone to aliasing, while keeping the faster code paths for the fast but not as bad as nearest - bilinear.

gegl_buffer_copy gegl_buffer_clear and gegl_buffer_set color now only emit a single changed signal on the buffer.

Operations:

c2g and stress have gained the ability to toggle the influence of the shadow neighborhood or not, the new default is to not improve shadow detail; yielding a bit more natural renditions.

color-to-alpha now contains improvements from experiment in workshop which is gone.

Fixed crahses in median-blur.

Transform ops:

Only rasterize inside the transformed polygon, saving cpu. The optimizations mentioned for GeglBuffer giving boosts and improved quality.

New ops:

Mean-curvature blur.

News ops in workshop:

color-overlay, enlarge, inpaint, domain-transform, recursive=transform.

Buffer

Many significant optimizations as well as a correctness improvement, mipmap scaling and rendering is now done correctly in linear space, thus GIMP will not only produce the right results but also avoid gamma errors in thumbnails and viewport.

Among the signifcant performance boosters are per buffer-instance tile queues, adaptive sampler pre-fetch caching and dedicated code paths for fetching columns of pixels. Along with many multi-threadedness improvements due to more significant testing.
