This means that images' ownership is not given to caller in particular.
libgimp will now keep a reference of all GimpImage-s it creates and
return this same reference if called again. It also means that you can
now compare images by pointer comparison (as 2 GimpImage objects
representing the same image ID will be equal).
Obviously as a side effect, gimp_image_list() is changed to (transfer
container) as you must only free the container now, not the elements.
Also various other functions creating new images are now (transfer none)
too.
Long-time plug-ins will have to be taken in consideration in a further
step (we currently never free GimpImage for destroyed images in
particular).
Same as previous commit: by default the new API will be used. But if a
plug-in builds with GIMP_DEPRECATED_REPLACE_NEW_API macro, then the same
function names will call the old API with ids.
it used to be a typedef to gpointer and actually was a cmsHPROFILE.
Change its API to be more "standard", remove the public close()
function. The object caches both the cmsHPROFILE and the data/length
ICC blob, so conversions between the two become obsolete (simply call
get_lcms_profile() or get_icc_profile()).
Adapt everything to the new API, but port it in a naive way for now,
the code doesn't take advantage of the new possibilities yet (like
refcounting).
Which will have proper API to deal with an image's color profile (no
parasites, no ICC blobs). So far contains gimp_image_get_color_profile()
and gimp_image_set_color_profile().
