G'MIC has released version 3.4.0, marking its 16th anniversary with a focus on stability and long-term support. The update includes improvements to the G'MIC Online web service and the G'MIC-Qt plugin, which now offers over 40 new image processing filters. The gmic CLI tool has also been enhanced with an integrated image viewer and mathematical function viewer. Additionally, the mathematical expression evaluator has been enriched, and 3D mesh management commands have been improved. The update aims to stabilize key APIs and ensure backward compatibility, making version 3.4.0 a significant milestone in the project's history. New filters introduced in this version include tools for photo retouching, distortion effects, degradation filters, rendering, texture filters, and artistic effects. These filters offer a wide range of functionalities, such as color channel mixing, detail enhancement, spatial blending of images, map projections, and geometric distortions. The release showcases G'MIC's commitment to providing a comprehensive open-source framework for digital image processing.

Eight million pixels and counting: improving texture atlas allocation in Firefox (2021)
Improving texture atlas allocation in WebRender with the guillotiere crate reduces texture memory usage. The guillotine algorithm was replaced due to fragmentation issues, leading to a more efficient allocator. Visualizing the atlas in SVG aids debugging. Rust's simplicity and Cargo fuzz testing are praised for code development and robustness. Enhancements in draw call batching and texture upload aim to boost performance on low-end Intel GPUs by optimizing texture atlases.

5 commentsOn this occasion, we summarize the recent features added to our open-source framework for digital image processing.
The only problem I have is that I don't use it very much and if I do, I'm just overwhelmed by all the effects and parameters. I'm sure there's great value there... But, if you don't know exactly what you're looking for? Well, be prepared to click around for ages finding something cool. I have no idea how to improve that, but I find it annoying.
It would be also great for the effects to not be destructive. Like using it with filter layers. But unfortunately this seems not to be possible.
If you're a Gimp user you may already have this plugin.
