Hight Quality Upscale" Plugin
Are included the Windows version of 4 plugins developed by Nicolas Robidoux and Adam Turcotte from Universite Laurentienn/Laurentian University and compiled for Windows by Francois Collard
once installed the plugin will be available in the Image/Hq Rescale/submenu with cryptic names as
1"EANBQH"
2 "EANBQHgamma"
3"IBFNBQ"
4"IBFNBQHgamma"
That names are the acronym of the algorithms used,
"EANBQH" correspond to " SMOOTH"
"IBFNBQ" to "SHARP"
postfix "gamma "indicate added gamma correction
The developer consider this plug-ins a preliminary version, more exactly were a proof of concept to demonstrate the quality of new Upscaling algorithms (when they were proposed to the gimp developers ,they should be included in GEGL in the future)
But ,as they are, already offer better results for upscaling,and this for me is the basic point and a good reason to package and mirror the Windows version,also because a simple hack to the original plugins registration paths was sufficient to improve usability
About how to install see "how_to_install.txt" included

Upsize Plugin
The code for this plugin was recently refined and released as Upsize (http://registry.gimp.org/node/19582). It is not currently available for Windows, but feel free to port it if you find it useful.
It combines IBFNBQH and EANBQH into a single plugin and is slightly faster than older versions. I hope you enjoy it.

toggle does not work in the updated Upsize plugins
Francois Collard, a while ago, noticed that the toggle in the new updated "single plugin" IBFNBQH and EANBQH plugins does not work and consequently that it is "stuck" in "smooth" (IBFNBQH) mode.
For this reason, I have returned the tgz archive of the original versions on my server

(Apologies to all for the bug and the code disappearance. Believe it or not I had forgotten what gimptests.tgz was!)

P.S.
As of March 25, both the linux (thank you Adam Turcotte) and Windows (thank you Sylvie Alexandre) versions of the newer Upsize plugin are fixed.

As now I don't know how to delete the older from the plugin list
anyway for sure i may edit the comment to point to the new version
Same for the page on DA , i will fix tomorrow
We should remove the old
We should remove the old plug-in then, at least from the Plugin Registry.
How ?
i see option for edit not for delete
where is ?
This may be a task for Ingo
I only see options to edit plug-ins and script entries, as well.
