Hi all,

As those of you who read kde-core-devel know, I've been on hiatus for a
 couple years and no longer work in the computer industry, but have been
 coding in my spare time and have improved effects I've been working on.

Most of my work hasn't been on QImage but on a similiar toolkit-independent
image library that's half finished called MImage. The API is very similiar,
tho, so I'd like to backport the improvements to KDE. I started MImage
basically so I wouldn't have to use ImageMagick or Imlib when doing command
line utilities, but use a QImage like API all the time, so porting code back
and forth is pretty much just replacing M's with Q's ;-)

I've prepared a description of effects currently in KImageEffect that I have
rewritten and will post that next. As for porting them, I won't be able to do
that until after Christmas, (my disks are at 96 and 97% right now but I'm
getting a 120G one). But I am not adverse to posting the MImage-based code
right now and porting it in a few weeks if you all want to see what it's
like.

Either way we have to decide what to do with KImageEffect. I know Zack
mentioned he wants to start a new image library. I dont' know if that's
needed but if not we will need a new branch for adding binary incompatible
stuff.

The descriptions of changes I made will follow.

I decided to just try to finish up the first alpha of libmimage instead of
doing a bunch of backporting. That way people can test the code I actually
use then I can backport to KDE once. Seems to make more sense.

For people who are wondering, this is what I want to work on in order of
release:

1) libmimage
2) The MIMS photo browser, (the successor to PixiePlus). Chris Howells is
currently maintaining the old version of PixiePlus in kdenonbeta and knows
about the new one.
3) libmultilayer (64bit tiled, layered image library)
4) MIMS Paint

I got a new hard drive for Christmas and am currently downloading software
 for rebuilding my system. I'll be offline for a day or two, but if anyone
 wants to send me email I'll still get it. I just may not reply right away.
