Packagers for linux distributions should update the recipes for babl and GEGL, and new releases of GIMP 2.10.6 for flatpak/snap/OSX/windows with the new babl and GEGL is desirable. Before in the 2.10 releases we have synchronized the releases of babl, GEGL and GIMP. This synchronization has been a by-product of work on finishing the GIMP release have resulted in additional commits to GEGL; and thus coordinating the releases have been neccessary also to have a properly building GIMP. As the 2.10 series stabilizes and releases become less frequent we can expect having babl and GEGL releases also in-between future stable GIMP releases. babl-0.1.58 and GEGL-0.4.10 have already been released this month Building the previous release of GIMP-2.10 with the new babl will fix regressions the 2.10 series of GIMP has had over 2.8 in workflows involving first transforming or deforming a layer. These operations now maintain the color of fully transparent pixels, thus making anti-erase mode of the paint tools and the alpha channel mode of the curves tool. GEGL has an important display fix for OSX, where severe display glitches on some zoom levels now are gone. These changes come In addition to performance improvements, in particular babl is now doing (most) reference computations in 32bit floating point rather than 64bit floating point speeding up initial and some runtime pixel format conversions, for more complete release note for babl-0.1.58 and GEGL-0.4.10 including internal refactoring and new features, see their respective NEWS files.
