1 | Imager 0.44 has been released and will soon be available on all CPAN |
| 2 | mirrors. | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This is primarily a bug-fix release. The following issues have been | |
| 5 | fixed: | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - reading or writing any TIFF image would produce a run-time error | |
| 8 | with recent versions of tifflib. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | - Imager would fail to link or load (platform dependently) if built | |
| 11 | with the IM_NOLOG option | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | - the Win32 bounding_box() function would return the wrong number of | |
| 14 | values | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | - the pnm (pbm, pgm, ppm) reader would read the maximum sample value | |
| 17 | entry (maxval) from the pnm file and then ignore that value. This | |
| 18 | meant that images with a maximum sample below 255 would be stored | |
| 19 | darked than they were meant to be. Note that Imager cannot | |
| 20 | currently read binary pnm images with a maxval > 255. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | - attempting to convert a 3 channel image to a paletted image could | |
| 23 | result in a segmentation fault if an empty target palette was | |
| 24 | supplied. This could also occur in the implicit RGB => paletted | |
| 25 | conversion done when writing a GIF image. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | - the setcolors() method wasn't correctly returning false on failure | |
| 28 | (due to an XS error) | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | - supplying a sufficiently small scaling value to the scale() method | |
| 31 | could result in a zero width or height image. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - the scale() method now produces a warning when called in void | |
| 34 | context | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | - Makefile.PL now handles spaces in the INCLUDE and LIB environment | |
| 37 | variables on Win32 | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | - write() didn't return false on failure to write a GIF image | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | - if you called crop() with parameters other than the basic left, | |
| 42 | right, top, bottom to specify the source rectangle, the result was | |
| 43 | usually suprising. The crop() documentation has been rewritten. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | - the glyph_names() method usually crashed if the string parameter | |
| 46 | wasn't supplied. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | - the glyph_names() method would ignore all but the bottom 8 bits of | |
| 49 | unicode characters. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | - there was a memory leak when using callbacks for reading/writing | |
| 52 | images | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | - in some cases the incorrect generated palette was returned when | |
| 55 | writing a GIF image. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | - the BMP reader had many bugs. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | - reading a PNG file would set the i_yres tag to the horizontal | |
| 60 | resolution of the image | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | - all image readers now handle image sizes that would result in an | |
| 63 | integer overflow by returning failure rather than by a segmentation | |
| 64 | fault. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | - renamed io.h to imio.h to avoid a conflict on cygwin. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | New features: | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | - you can now supply a background color for the rotate() and | |
| 71 | matrix_transform() functions. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | - Imager::Color methods now have an equals() method. | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | - Imager now includes a builtin colors table, usable by the builtin | |
| 76 | parameter or as a final fallback for the name parameter. | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | - the i_format tag is now set when reading an image to the format of | |
| 79 | the image | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | - the BMP file reader now sets more tags in the resulting image | |
| 82 | ||
| 83 | Documentation changes: | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | - document that the most recent libungif is fixed and the most recent | |
| 86 | giflib is still broken. (README and other places) | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | - added a method index to Imager.pm |
