+The existing microraptor-gui (immediate mode touch UI+CSS with cairo) image
+viewer that can be built as part of the gegl binary has been revisted, a
+graph/property editor has been added, and migration/extension to lua has begun
+for parts of the code.
+
+WARNING: many parts of the UI is of exploratory proof of concept/alpha quality
+but released since it is part of the GEGL repository and useful development
+tools both for creating and testing new GEGL operations as well as GEGL itself.
+
+Some screenshots showing some the process towards the state and capabilties of
+the UI in this release can be seen at https://www.patreon.com/posts/24123574
