-- 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 line

Current command (which will break in 2025-2026)

Code:

gegl_node_connect_from

Future Command

Code:

gegl_node_connect

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.

If the 2025 GEGL plugin breakage happens go here to fix it. This includes source code of all filters and precompiled windows binaries of 50+ plugins.

These Windows binaries will not work on Gimp with versions of GEGL before GEGL-0.4.46 and up. GEGL-0.4.46 can compile both old and new plugin types but it warns that node_connect_from will be deprecated.

The fix is in a simple repo here
