54 identify the file type match reality.
55 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72475

58 based on the file header, to match read_multi().
59

110 it.
111
5efba0c6
TC
112 - add overloaded eq to Imager::Matrix2d, since older perls don't seem
113 to synthesize it from overloaded "".
114
73e3ff55
TC
115 - use T1_StrError() for error messages on modern libt1
116 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69879

120
121 - Imager::Font->new now produces better error messages for the T1
122 engine.
123
6e938c74
TC
124 - the font has_chars() method now returns perl's true and false
125 values in list context rather than integers, which should be more
126 efficient.

139 - make the APIRef synopsis ordering consistent, older versions of
140 perl could order it differently.
141 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71675
142
336ce474
TC
143 - we rely on Config.pm's d_vsnprintf as to whether we use
144 vsnprintf/snprintf, which is defined in the Win32 Config.pm even
145 though it only has _ prefixed versions of these. Define our own
146 prefixed names on Win32.

31be6e9a 155Imager 0.85_01 - 10 Oct 2011
6d5c85a2 156==============
a7e32beb
TC
157
158 - add simple tests for the Imager::Test test_image generators
159
6d5c85a2
TC
160 - io_glue I/O buffering re-work:
161
162 - reorganize io_glue to do it's own buffering by default
163
164 - the unbuffered functions are available as i_io_raw_read() (or
165 raw_read() from perl) etc but are not recommended for typical
166 use.
167
168 - use the new i_io_peekn() when checking for file magic to avoid
169 seek, allowing Imager to detect the file type and read the file
170 from an unseekable stream (for formats that don't use random
171 access)
172
173 - added several new I/O layer API functions.
174
175 - fix the TGA performance problem, most noticably on Win32
176 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70037
177
178 - TIFF now uses wrapper functions of the correct types to avoid casts
179 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69912
180
181 - the callback IO object did its own buffering, controlled by the
182 maxbuffer parameter supplied to the read() and write() methods.
183 This buffering has been removed, to avoid redundancy with the
184 common io_glue buffering. This also avoids a bug in that code
185 which could rarely pass a zero length to the read callback and
186 then panic about the result.
187
188 - the callback IO object now tests the result of calling the close
189 callback, which should return true for success.
190
191 - the PNM reader did its own buffering. This buffering has been
192 removed to avoid redundancy with the common io_glue buffering.
193
194 - previously the read handlers for fd and callback I/O layers would
195 call the underlying interface (POSIX read or your supplied callback)
196 until it filled the buffer. It now only makes one call.
197
198 - added public constructors for I/O layer objects (see Imager::IO)
199
200 - all core file handlers now use the i_io_foo() wrappers to gain
201 access to buffered I/O rather than calling the I/O layer
202 callbacks directly.
203
204 - all core file handlers now check for error on close.
205
206 - Backward compatibility: if you hava custom file handlers, you can
207 use i_io_write() etc since they're available as macros in older
208 versions of Imager.
209
210 - eliminate the final remnants of io_glue_commit_types().
211
212 - bump IMAGER_API_VERSION, since the above may break assumptions.
213
214 - removed the long unused i_gen_reader() and i_gen_writer() utility
215 functions.

6ad7e4bc
TC
218===========
219
0c647c9a
TC
220The main changes in the release versus 0.84 are:
221
222 - on 64-bit systems, 64-bit types are consistently used for image
223 dimensions and co-ordinated, and for memory block sizes.
224
225 - handle IFD loops in TIFF files correctly. Previously this would
226 lead to an infinite loop.
227
6ad7e4bc
TC
228Bug fixes:
229
230 - fix the link in the getheight() entry in the method index

236favourable.
6b7197d0
TC
237
238Bug fixes:
239
240 - the image file limits set by set_file_limits() weren't being
241 checked when reading TIFF files.
242 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69915
243
5970bd39
TC
244 - Provide more information about file format module load errors on a
245 failed image file read() or write().
246 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69194
247
4ce3551c
TC
248 - use TIFFReadDirectory() instead of TIFFSetDirectory() to iterate
249 through TIFF images, since it checks for IFD loops.
250 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69914
251
a16bca6d
TC
252 - don't leak memory when out of range palette indexes are supplied to
253 setscanline().
254 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69242
255
256 - require a later version of CPAN::Meta to ensure JSON::PP and
257 CPAN::Meta::YAML are available.
258 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69008
259
ac575c5f
TC
260 - hoist the per-line calculations for the flines implementations, and
261 modernize the tests a bit.
262 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70126
263
86c8d19a
TC
264 - detect snprintf()/vsnprintf() (cheat by using Config.pm) and use
265 them when available.
266 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69147
267
a3fd7df7
TC
268 - if t1lib failed to reinitialize it would be left as marked

275Imager 0.84_01 - 8 Aug 2011
276==============
277
278Development release as a sanity check for the types re-work.
8d14daab
TC
279
280Massive types re-work:
281
282 - the type used internally for pixel co-ordinates and image sizes is
283 now 64-bit on 64-bit platforms (at least sane ones).
284
285 - size_t is now used consistently for memory block sizes.
286
287 - since this changes the binary interface, the Imager API version has
288 been incremented. Any module that uses the API will need to be
289 rebuilt. In most cases that will be enough, but calls to any APIs
290 that take a pointer to image sizes may need source changes.
291
292 - you should be able to create very large images on 64-bit systems,
293 if you have enough memory. Successfully created a 32768 x 49192 x
294 3 channel image, filled with a tiled image and scaled it. The
295 unscaled image was also successfully saved to a JPEG.
296
297 - check the image size before attempting to write BMP, GIF, JPEG,
298 PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF images.
299
300 - correctly handle reading TGA images over 32767 pixels wide or tall.
301
302Incidental changes:
303
304 - the gif_left and gif_top tags are now clamped to non-negative
305 values when writing a GIF image.
306
307 - removed dead callback read/write code
308
309The default maximum memory size when reading files is now 1G.

312===========
313
314 - Imager no longer inherits from Exporter (unless you're running an
315 old, old perl.
316
92e9df65
TC
317 - Imager can now write progressive JPEGs (it could always read them).

TC
320Bug fixes:

TC
336 - convert colors to grayscale if the supplied (or generated) palette
337 contains only grays when performing error diffusion color
338 translation.
339 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68508
340
59c150a4
TC
341 - writing a paletted image to GIF wouldn't always use the colors
342 supplied (or generated, eg. via make_colors => "mono"), which was
343 confusing at best.
344 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67912
345
5b480b14
TC
346 - replace (imager|tony)@imager.perl.org in the doc, since I don't

TC
370 - compose() with the target, source or mask position off the top or
371 left of the target image didn't clip the source image correctly.
372 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67220
373
374 - compose() now returns a useful error message on a non-positive
375 opacity.
376
377 - compose.im now at 100% test coverage. (As opposed to, umm, much,
378 much less.)

2368cfec
TC
381===========
382
383Bug fixes:
384
385 - eliminate calls to i_has_format() from the test suite, since it's
386 no longer a useful way to check for file format support. Eliminate
387 i_has_format() from the functions exposed via XS.
388 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65863
389
7540f84a
TC
390 - eliminate calls to note(), which isn't in the (very old) version of
391 Test::More we have as a pre-requisite. note() is modern enough
392 that I don't feel a need to require a Test::More upgrade for it.
393 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65864

405 downgrade the version in this file.
406 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66250
407
408 - if we see an -rpath (or -R) option in $Config{lddlflags} supply
409 that option for the directories that would normally go in
410 LD_RUN_PATH. Typically an explicit -rpath overrides LD_RUN_PATH.

TC
919 - Possible security issue: The floating point sample path for image
920 based fills had a buffer overflow. This would overwrite the end of
921 a malloc()ed buffer with double precision floats.

6912d85a 923 CVE-2008-1928
e02d22d2 924

TC
925 - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
926 true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
927 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
928
929 - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
930 resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
931 too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
932 not a buffer overflow.
933 Added a check for the failure.
934 scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
935 scale size parameters are a reference.

947This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
948rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
949channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
950and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
951release.

953 - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.

TC
956 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
957
958 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
959 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
960 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
961 noalpha channels or back.
962 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
963
964 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
965 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
966 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
967 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
968
969 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
970 functions when filling.
971 Corrected normal combine mode.
972 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
973 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
974 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
975 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
976 similarly.

1000 - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
1001 the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
1002 compressible output files.

1008 I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
1009 code, not intended for installation.

1012 - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
1013 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
1014
1015 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
1016 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
1017 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
1018 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
1019 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
1020 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
1021 bugzilla.

1031 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
1032 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
1033 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
1034 So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
1035 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.

1330 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24859
1331
1332 - rewrite a conditional expression as an if() to hopefully work around
1333 a bug in the pre-4.0 GCC Apple shipped with OS X 10.4.
1334 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25561
1335
1336 - avoid Data::Dumper in regops.perl to support older releases of perl

1339Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
1340===========
1341
1342This is primarily a bug fix release.
1343
1344Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
1345
1346There is one new feature:
1347
1348 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
1349 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
1350 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
1351
1352Several bugs were fixed:
1353
1354 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
1355 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
1356
1357 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
1358 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
1359
1360 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
1361 the file correctly
1362 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
1363
1364 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
1365 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
1366
1367 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
1368 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
1369 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
1370
1371 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
1372 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
1373 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
1374
1375 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
1376 doing all along.
1377
1378Win32 font driver fixes:
1379
1380 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
1381 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
1382
1383 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
1384 advance width they would be clipped
1385
1386
1387Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
1388===========
1389
1390This is primarily a feature release:
1391
1392 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
1393 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
1394 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
1395 blurry results than normal.
1396 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
1397
1398 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
1399 channel.
1400 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
1401
1402 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
1403 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
1404 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
1405 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
1406 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
1407 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
1408 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
1409
1410 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
1411 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
1412 should upgrade.
1413 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
1414
1415 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
1416 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
1417 'index'.
1418 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
1419
1420 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
1421 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
1422
1423 - minor documentation fixes
1424
1425
1426Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
1427===========
1428
1429This is a bugfix release.
1430
1431Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
1432suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
1433removed.
1434http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
1435
1436
1437Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
1438===========
1439
1440This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
1441fixes, new features:
1442
1443 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
1444
1445 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
1446
1447 - add POD coverage tests
1448
1449 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
1450 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
1451 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
1452
1453 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
1454 just to the area the same color as the seed.
1455 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
1456
1457
1458Bug fixes:
1459
1460 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
1461 calculating the advance width.
1462 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
1463
1464 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
1465 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
1466 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
1467 spaces
1468
1469 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
1470 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
1471 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
1472 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
1473 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
1474
1475 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
1476 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
1477 result in an error.
1478 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
1479
1480 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
1481 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
1482
1483And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
1484
1485
1486Imager 0.51 - 23 Apr 2006

1490 a crash
1491 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496
1492
1493 - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the
1494 paste() method
1495 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712
1496
1497 - fix a problem in Imager's "smart" handling of the color parameter

1503===========

1506 or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
1507 output is an in-memeory buffer.
1508 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397
1509
1510 - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code
1511 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18051
