The review of GIL will begin in the next couple of months.  In the
mean time you can download the library at:

The Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++ library that abstracts
the image representation from operations on images. It allows
for writing the image processing algorithm once and having it
work for images in any color space, channel depth and pixel
organization, or even synthetic images, without compromising
the performance. GIL has an extension mechanism that allows
for adding extra functionality. Two extensions are currently
provided – one for image I/O and one for handling images
whose properties are specified at run-time.

you want to learn about it,  download the library
and give it a try.
