+- Update to version 0.4.4:
+  + Core:
+    - Point filters with need for format conversion of input are
+      now parallel.
+    - Added swap-reading, swap-writing, swap-read-total and
+      swap-write-total properties to GeglStats.
+  + Buffer:
+    - Trim tile-cache when shrinking.
+    - Added reading locks to tiles further improving concurrent
+      access tolerance of GeglBuffer.
+  + Operations:
+    - threshold: operating format changed from linear to
+      perceptual.
+    - unsharp-mask: add rename standard-deviation and scale
+      properties to 'Radius' and 'Amount', add 'Threshold'
+      property.
+    - recursive-transform now supports applying multiple
+      transformations simultanously.
+    - Fixed integer overflow due to logic error in pixelize.
+    - New operation: gegl:abs which negates negative values.
+    - New operation in workshop: selective-hue-saturation.
