GEGL and Babl are both fairly stable right now, and much more stable than the last official versions that Gimp 2.8 is getting built against were. If there are no objections I am planning to make release of both of these some time next week so we can move future Gimp 2.8 releases to GEGL 0.3.

Hi Daniel,
new releases of GEGL+Babl would be nice.

However, distributions will likely not be happy with a bumped major versions of libraries for a patch change of GIMP (2.8.x) Do we really use GEGL in GIMP 2.8? I thought mitch disabled all the GEGL powered functionality in 2.8 series.

The Babl release will be 0.2.0 because we have made some non-backwards-compatible changes to color definitions that cause GEGL 0.2's make check to fail.

Agreed completely that backporting is not worth it. Disabling this feature if broken is also a possibility. If we want people playing with GEGL in GIMP, a 2.10 prerelease would probably be more useful for both devs and users..

But up to mitch though what to go for in GIMP 2.8, I think.

Daniel - there is that bug in gobject about GParamSpecs segfaulting I mentioned in the gimp-devel thread - I don know if it is listed in bugzilla - but if you are talking about a release "right now", I think it'd be worth taking a look at.
