45 - add raw_ prefix to raw read parameters, though the original names
46 still work.
47
48 - fail the read if an invalid raw_interleave parameter is supplied
49
50 - warn if no interleave or raw_interleave parameter is supplied,
51 since the documented default was wrong, and incompatible with the
52 write format
53
54 - for reading raw images, if raw_storechannels > raw_datachannels,
55 set the extra channels in the image to 0
56

118Bug fixes:
119
120 - In some cases when an error occurs reading those parts of a JPEG
121 file after the image the scan-line buffer could be freed a second
122 time. In cases where the the error occured while reading the image
123 data it's possible that the buffer could have leaked.
124 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this and help in tracking
125 it down.

TC
137Bug fixes:
138
e02d22d2
TC
139 - Possible security issue: The floating point sample path for image
140 based fills had a buffer overflow. This would overwrite the end of
141 a malloc()ed buffer with double precision floats.
142 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35324
6912d85a 143 CVE-2008-1928
e02d22d2 144
de470892
TC
145 - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
146 true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
147 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
148
149 - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
150 resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
151 too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
152 not a buffer overflow.
153 Added a check for the failure.
154 scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
155 scale size parameters are a reference.
156 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35172
157
04f85f63
TC
158 - Regression: filling a greyscale image with a hatch used the wrong
159 color channels from the supplied fg/bg colors.

TC
162 - fixed a related problem for image fills.

33b0ffa6
TC
165===========
166
242d7497
TC
167This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
168rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
169channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
170and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
171release.
172
d1555273
TC
173 - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.
174 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28825
175
9b1ec2b8
TC
176 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
177
178 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
179 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
180 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
181 noalpha channels or back.
182 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
183
184 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
185 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
186 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
187 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
188
189 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
190 functions when filling.
191 Corrected normal combine mode.
192 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
193 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
194 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
195 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
196 similarly.

217 parameters.
218 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29937
219
2757bad0
TC
220 - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
221 the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
222 compressible output files.
223 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32324
224
3da08517
TC
225 - removed the pointless #! line from lib/Imager/Font/Wrap.pm
226 Noticed when I saw:
227 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166254
228 I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
229 code, not intended for installation.

242d7497
TC
232 - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
233 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
234
235 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
236 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
237 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
238 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
239 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
240 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
241 bugzilla.

TC
251 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
252 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
253 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
254 So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
255 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.
256

285
286 - added a C level image interface for accessing samples from 1-32
287 bits, exposed this at the perl level in getsamples()
288
289 - the conv filter now works at floating point precision for high bit
290 images
291

398 - the mask for ICO/CUR images is now applied as an alpha channel to

487 - reworked library probing, we can now set more than one probe
488 function for a library. Disabled the default (non-freetype-config)
489 library probe and added an extra probe function that searches for
490 both ft2build.h and whatever it includes, and adds -I as needed.
491 Hopefully this will fix build problems like

559Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
560===========
561
562This is primarily a bug fix release.
563
564Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
565
566There is one new feature:
567
568 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
569 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
570 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
571
572Several bugs were fixed:
573
574 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
575 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
576
577 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
578 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
579
580 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
581 the file correctly
582 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
583
584 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
585 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
586
587 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
588 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
589 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
590
591 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
592 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
593 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
594
595 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
596 doing all along.
597
598Win32 font driver fixes:
599
600 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
601 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
602
603 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
604 advance width they would be clipped
605
606
607Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
608===========
609
610This is primarily a feature release:
611
612 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
613 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
614 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
615 blurry results than normal.
616 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
617
618 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
619 channel.
620 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
621
622 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
623 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
624 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
625 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
626 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
627 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
628 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
629
630 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
631 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
632 should upgrade.
633 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
634
635 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
636 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
637 'index'.
638 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
639
640 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
641 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
642
643 - minor documentation fixes
644
645
646Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
647===========
648
649This is a bugfix release.
650
651Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
652suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
653removed.
654http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
655
656
657Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
658===========
659
660This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
661fixes, new features:
662
663 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
664
665 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
666
667 - add POD coverage tests
668
669 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
670 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
671 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
672
673 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
674 just to the area the same color as the seed.
675 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
676
677
678Bug fixes:
679
680 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
681 calculating the advance width.
682 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
683
684 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
685 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
686 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
687 spaces
688
689 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
690 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
691 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
692 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
693 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
694
695 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
696 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
697 result in an error.
698 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
699
700 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
701 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
702
703And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
704
705

714 paste() method
715 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712
716
717 - fix a problem in Imager's "smart" handling of the color parameter
718 to various methods.
719 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18561
720
721
722Imager 0.50 - 29 Mar 2006
723===========
724
725 - CRITICAL: fixes a segmentation fault from attempting to write a 2
726 or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
727 output is an in-memeory buffer.
728 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397
729
730 - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code
731 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18051
