Hello there,

I'm happy to announce the release of a new version (numbered 1.7.5) of the G'MIC image processing framework (including the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP).
As always, I encourage upgrading to this new version as soon as possible :roll:

Note that due to important changes in the language parser, previous versions won't get filter updates anymore.
If someone wants to build a version of the plug-in for MacOSX, he is welcome !

What is G'MIC?

Quote:

G'MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for image processing. It provides several different user interfaces to convert/manipulate/filter/visualize generic image datasets, ranging from 1d scalar signals to 3d+t sequences of multi-spectral volumetric images, thus including 2d color images.

- G'MIC main project page : http://gmic.eu
- G'MIC plug-in for GIMP : http://gmic.eu/gimp.shtml
- G'MIC web service : https://gmicol.greyc.fr/

The following is the full Changelog of the version 1.7.5, as compared to the previous stable version 1.7.4.
Enjoy !

New features:

Improvements:

- [core] Using one,two or three dots to specify shortcuts for respectively [-1],[-2] and [-3] is now generalized to command arguments (those shortcuts were valid only for commands selections).
- [core] Libgmic can now be compiled to work with 16bits half-float images.
- [core] The core code has been slightly optimized : 1. by minimizing the number of internally thrown exceptions, 2. by improving the command instanciation code.
- [stdlib] Command -input_clut is more robust, and is able to load 1d clut files as well.
- [stdlib] Command -sort_list is now able to sort list of images according to the image titles (lexicographic order).
- [stdlib] Commands -average_files, -median_files, -average_video and -median_video now works with 16bits/channel images.
- [gimp] Slight redesign of the plug-in GUI, to minimize mouse motion when having to select an 'Input/Output' option.

Bug fixes:

- [stdlib] Fix serious bug in command -decompress_rle.
- [gimp] Fix tiny preview size issue when using plug-in with GIMP 2.9.x.

Downloaded and installed the WIN 64 bits zip in usual manner. Opened GIMP but GMIC appears to be missing all the 'Testing' filters, some 100 or so altogether.

For testing filters, push refresh button (when on internet):

That is right. You just need to update your filters with the update button.
This is due to the fact the core code of G'MIC and the rest of the filters have been split into two distinct repositories (mainly for legal reasons, to deal with dual licensing, etc..).

Thanks for the head's up, David. Dehaze looks promising.

Very nice, David. I'm playing with those filters already. :tyspin
