Hi there,

I'm happy to announce that the 1.5.7.0 version of G'MIC has been released yesterday.
I had some troubles with the PCs at our lab, so I was not able to release binaries along with the source archive (but they should be on their way).

The detailed changelog can be found here : http://www.flickr.com/groups/gmic/discu ... 579430119/

The main new feature of this release is about parallelization. G'MIC commands can now be run on several cores at the same time, and this may improve the speed of some filters (all the 'smoothing' and 'sharpening' filters have been already improved for instance).
There are also some bug fixes and new filters (but those were also available for 1.5.6.1 through the Internet update).

We are looking for Win64 packagers of course
I hope everything will run fine for you. Just let us know !

Cheers.

No, by default the parallelization is disabled, because it often requires some parameters related to how the parallelization is done (number of cores, and image overlapping). The scripts should be updated to make use of the parallelization.

Thanks for the update, Rono. The 64bit Linux binary runs great!

I'm already using G'MIC 1.5.7.0... been using it for a while and it runs great on windows 7/64 bit.

Like me, you've probably been using the beta version, mackenzieh. G'MIC 1.5.7.0 was officially released yesterday.

Yeah I have, but it still works the same, I bet.

Until we get a coder that can take over for samj, it will be beta for a while Mackenzieh. Still tired from working and also other responsibilities that I have but I did download samj's environment that she shared recently and will see if I can come close to figuring this stuff out but, I will admit this now. I did download and install cygwin a little more then a year ago, and after I couldn't figure out how to use it (on and off for a few weeks) just left it be. lol

Again, I'm not a coder so have little experience in the compilation process; doubt I have all the files required to come G'MIC either since I don't use a developer's version of GIMP so I'm sure I will get a lot of pop-up errors in the process of doing this. Oh well.

Well, I copied samj's environment for compiling GIMP plugins and followed her instructions and voila; compiled G'MIC 64-bit for the first time myself. I'm shareing just the exe for testing for those that already have 64-bit G'MIC installed (otherwise, you will need to download all the necessary dlls for G'MIC from old version of G'MIC 64-bit and that includes the curl.exe file in it's own directory of course). All I can say is, though I got a lot of err messages during the compile and it indeed took around 15 minutes to compile on my system, that it actually works for my GIMP. Hopefully it will work for other folks version of 64-bit GIMP for Windows too. Please let me know.

15 minutes sounds about right and there are usually lots of warning messages during compiles but if the compile didn't hit a critical error and/or abort, your executable should be fine.

Nice work, Lyle!

Does Work !

I try to refresh filters , fine
i tried to apply a few filters :
There IS something wrong with anisotropic smoothing (a middle vertical strip a few pixels large that remain unchanged, as if was unselected ) but may be a side effect of recent optimizations not sure if a problem of your build

Also because everything else i tried worked, only A smoothing has that malfunctioning

yeah; the line happens when you use the multi-cpu option PC. Can increase the spatial overlap to reduce this artifact. Thanks for the confirmation about the plugin too. Again, thanks a heap to you samj.

ahh i see, 2 core is now the default !
I will try spatial overlap ...still using gmic no other problems , now i'm going to try on 7

Bonjour,

Merci beaucoup, Lylejk

Congratulations to the successful compilation.

For those who want to try to compile 64-bit Windows, here's what to download :

The build environment
http://www.aljacom.com/~gmic/petit-msys ... -gimp28.7z

Makefile to replace those supplied with sources G'MIC
http://www.aljacom.com/~gmic/Makefile_G ... 64bits.zip

DLL for the plug-in
http://www.aljacom.com/~gmic/gmic_gimp_64bit.zip

Source files
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/fi ... z/download

I just used the default makefile that is part of the source download samj; wonder it that is the reason for some of the err messages. Still, the exe file works fine and it is the full version (no beta in the name). Move the exe in the test environment GIMP after the fact (just copied to my regular GIMP first; lol) and it works fine there too. Again, thanks a heap.

I added the other exe and dll

Gmic-Gimp-1.5.7.0-Win64

NOTE WELL : i zipped separately zlib.dll because is already included by default in some Gimp build (i.e. partha),more other third party plugin may already have added
and dll clones will cause errors.
Only if you get a error message complaining about " zlib.dll not found" download it for the link below

That's cool PC. What's really needed in a 64-bit complete compile like samj does and not just the GIMP plugin, but my only motivation is the GIMP plugin. Maybe you can go that extra mile to get the full G'MIC compiled. Wish you well should you pursue that effort.

Congratulations lylejk, your compile works perfectly. I tried to compile it myself but wasn't successful. I am including the compile output hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. Funny thing is that compiling the full program with "make windows" works.
