Mosfet wanted me to post this:

For people worried about stability since it is new code I'm doing *a
lot* of testing. More than I ever did before on anything I've written.
Each effect is being tested individually with an 8bit, 32bitRGB(A), and
premultiplied image. I spent all morning doing this. Next I am going to
test with MMX disabled so the C/C++ versions are all tested.
KImageEffect OTOH really needs to go. Someone just ran the porting
script over it and it does all sorts of stupid things like treating
QImage::colorTable() like it's a reference and not a deep copy. It's all
sorts of new bugs over old bugs.
As for people suggesting developers just using their own copies of
KImageEffect, two problems with that: First of all, like I said most
stuff in KImageEffect doesn't work anymore. Apps using their own copy
doesn't fix that. Second of all there are also local copies of
post-KImageEffect algorithms I've done scattered all over the place.
Blitz fixes and integrates all this.
So anyways, my vote now is for kdesupport.

Obviously Mosfet would need to speak to that. (Can someone please
un-moderate him so he can contribute reasonably to these discussions?)
