Hi, so it looks like we should toss some ideas around here on the mailing-list to get an idea what could be our goals for 2.6. Let me just propose a few things for discussion: - Port internals to GEGL We are pretty sure that we want to do this but we need a more thorough proposal of what exactly should be done for 2.6 and how we want to proceed beyond that. As far as I know Mitch has some plans made for this, so I will let him lay out the details. - Port display drawing to Cairo We could have done this in the last development cycle already but postponed it in order to get 2.4 out of the door. This should be pretty much straightforward. The idea is to get away from using the GDK drawing routines to Cairo. This should allow us to get away from XOR drawing and it will open a lot of possibilities for tool improvements (half-transparent overlays for example). Again, this needs to be fleshed out in more details. - Add named parameters and default values to the PDB The idea is to introduce an alternative PDB API that has named parameters and default values. That would make scripting a lot easier and it would allow us to add parameters w/o breaking the API. Since we would have to maintain the old API as well, we wouldn't have to implement this all the way for 2.4. I am sure that we can also do a lot of user-visible changes and add smaller features here and there. Those do not absolutely need to be on the roadmap though.
