Package: release.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:babl
X-Debbugs-Cc: babl at packages.debian.org
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package babl

[ Reason ]
New bugfix release

[ Impact ]
NEWS has one change:
"Fix to broken TRC cache for formula based TRCs in ICC profiles.
BABL_ICC_INTENT_DEFAULT added. Some broken conversions removed."

gimp 3.0.4 requires babl >= 0.1.114

[ Tests ]
babl has some trivial autopkgtests which are passing.

I installed the babl 1:0.1.114-2 packages in Debian Testing and
verified that gimp from Debian Testing continues to work. I opened
copies of one file each of .jpg, a .png, and a .jxl (JPEG XL) file
from the gnome-backgrounds files in /usr/share/backgrounds/ and
verified that I was able to make basic changes and export to those
formats and to gimp's native .xcf format.

[ Risks ]
babl is not currently a key package, but gimp is a popular package.
babl is also used by the gnome-photos app (which was installed by
default by GNOME and Cinnamon for Debian 12 but not in Trixie because
the app is likely to be removed from Debian after the Trixie release
since the app is unmaintained upstream).

[ Checklist ]
  [✔️] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [✔️] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [✔️] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I expect to file an unblock for gimp 3.0.4 soon but I am waiting for
unblocks for babl and gegl before uploading gimp 3.0.4 to Unstable.

Thank you,
