processing and compositing on large images. GEGL is suitable for projects
ranging from small one-off projects to interactive applications.

The internal API has stabilized a bit more since the last release as
well as gotten
a couple of new capabilities. This release has focused on narrowing
down and documenting
the public API. A HTML API reference can be found at

Some of the other improvements in this release:

- Internal caches for rendering (internal floating point projection)
