USING THIS REPO WILL BREAK ALL CURRENT GIMP PLUGINS OF MINEDEAR FUTURE READERS FROM 2025+ IF MY GEGL PLUGINS BROKE DOWNLOAD NEW BINARIES FOR THE FIXhttps://github.com/LinuxBeaver/LinuxBea ... and_up.zip -- original post from feb 2024--
Pippin (GEGL's lead dev) told me it is not any time soon but the break of many plugins of mine will happen because they use a deprecated feature that just left in July 2023. I was ignorant of it till today.
Right now I am doing nothing about this on main repos, but I am making a future proof code only archive of all my plugins that will be found no where but a special page on my Github
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/LinuxBeaver/releases/ newgegl_source_code_of_all_plugin.zip
The cause of the breakage, this lineCurrent command (which will break in 2025-2026)
Future Command
A quick search and replace fixed everything. But these plugins will only work on Linux distros using GEGL 4.46 and beyond (mine doesn't) so they don't even compile on my distro without special settings.

They will not work on earlier verisons of GEGL including the one that Fedora 38 (my distro) ships with.
