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

54 based on the file header, to match read_multi().
55
56 - re-work and add tests for def_guess_type(). def_guess_type() no
57 longer returns any random file extension as the file type.

106 it.
107
5efba0c6
TC
108 - add overloaded eq to Imager::Matrix2d, since older perls don't seem
109 to synthesize it from overloaded "".
110
73e3ff55
TC
111 - use T1_StrError() for error messages on modern libt1
112 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69879

115 creation.
116
117 - Imager::Font->new now produces better error messages for the T1
118 engine.
119
6e938c74
TC
120 - the font has_chars() method now returns perl's true and false
121 values in list context rather than integers, which should be more
122 efficient.

135 - make the APIRef synopsis ordering consistent, older versions of
136 perl could order it differently.
137 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71675
138
336ce474
TC
139 - we rely on Config.pm's d_vsnprintf as to whether we use
140 vsnprintf/snprintf, which is defined in the Win32 Config.pm even
141 though it only has _ prefixed versions of these. Define our own
142 prefixed names on Win32.

31be6e9a 151Imager 0.85_01 - 10 Oct 2011
6d5c85a2 152==============
a7e32beb
TC
153
154 - add simple tests for the Imager::Test test_image generators
155
6d5c85a2
TC
156 - io_glue I/O buffering re-work:
157
158 - reorganize io_glue to do it's own buffering by default
159
160 - the unbuffered functions are available as i_io_raw_read() (or
161 raw_read() from perl) etc but are not recommended for typical
162 use.
163
164 - use the new i_io_peekn() when checking for file magic to avoid
165 seek, allowing Imager to detect the file type and read the file
166 from an unseekable stream (for formats that don't use random
167 access)
168
169 - added several new I/O layer API functions.
170
171 - fix the TGA performance problem, most noticably on Win32
172 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70037
173
174 - TIFF now uses wrapper functions of the correct types to avoid casts
175 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69912
176
177 - the callback IO object did its own buffering, controlled by the
178 maxbuffer parameter supplied to the read() and write() methods.
179 This buffering has been removed, to avoid redundancy with the
180 common io_glue buffering. This also avoids a bug in that code
181 which could rarely pass a zero length to the read callback and
182 then panic about the result.
183
184 - the callback IO object now tests the result of calling the close
185 callback, which should return true for success.
186
187 - the PNM reader did its own buffering. This buffering has been
188 removed to avoid redundancy with the common io_glue buffering.
189
190 - previously the read handlers for fd and callback I/O layers would
191 call the underlying interface (POSIX read or your supplied callback)
192 until it filled the buffer. It now only makes one call.
193
194 - added public constructors for I/O layer objects (see Imager::IO)
195
196 - all core file handlers now use the i_io_foo() wrappers to gain
197 access to buffered I/O rather than calling the I/O layer
198 callbacks directly.
199
200 - all core file handlers now check for error on close.
201
202 - Backward compatibility: if you hava custom file handlers, you can
203 use i_io_write() etc since they're available as macros in older
204 versions of Imager.
205
206 - eliminate the final remnants of io_glue_commit_types().
207
208 - bump IMAGER_API_VERSION, since the above may break assumptions.
209
210 - removed the long unused i_gen_reader() and i_gen_writer() utility
211 functions.

6ad7e4bc
TC
214===========
215
0c647c9a
TC
216The main changes in the release versus 0.84 are:
217
218 - on 64-bit systems, 64-bit types are consistently used for image
219 dimensions and co-ordinated, and for memory block sizes.
220
221 - handle IFD loops in TIFF files correctly. Previously this would
222 lead to an infinite loop.
223
6ad7e4bc
TC
224Bug fixes:
225
226 - fix the link in the getheight() entry in the method index

232favourable.
6b7197d0
TC
233
234Bug fixes:
235
236 - the image file limits set by set_file_limits() weren't being
237 checked when reading TIFF files.
238 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69915
239
5970bd39
TC
240 - Provide more information about file format module load errors on a
241 failed image file read() or write().
242 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69194
243
4ce3551c
TC
244 - use TIFFReadDirectory() instead of TIFFSetDirectory() to iterate
245 through TIFF images, since it checks for IFD loops.
246 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69914
247
a16bca6d
TC
248 - don't leak memory when out of range palette indexes are supplied to
249 setscanline().
250 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69242
251
252 - require a later version of CPAN::Meta to ensure JSON::PP and
253 CPAN::Meta::YAML are available.
254 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69008
255
ac575c5f
TC
256 - hoist the per-line calculations for the flines implementations, and
257 modernize the tests a bit.
258 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70126
259
86c8d19a
TC
260 - detect snprintf()/vsnprintf() (cheat by using Config.pm) and use
261 them when available.
262 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69147
263
a3fd7df7
TC
264 - if t1lib failed to reinitialize it would be left as marked
265 initialized.

271Imager 0.84_01 - 8 Aug 2011
272==============
273
274Development release as a sanity check for the types re-work.
8d14daab
TC
275
276Massive types re-work:
277
278 - the type used internally for pixel co-ordinates and image sizes is
279 now 64-bit on 64-bit platforms (at least sane ones).
280
281 - size_t is now used consistently for memory block sizes.
282
283 - since this changes the binary interface, the Imager API version has
284 been incremented. Any module that uses the API will need to be
285 rebuilt. In most cases that will be enough, but calls to any APIs
286 that take a pointer to image sizes may need source changes.
287
288 - you should be able to create very large images on 64-bit systems,
289 if you have enough memory. Successfully created a 32768 x 49192 x
290 3 channel image, filled with a tiled image and scaled it. The
291 unscaled image was also successfully saved to a JPEG.
292
293 - check the image size before attempting to write BMP, GIF, JPEG,
294 PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF images.
295
296 - correctly handle reading TGA images over 32767 pixels wide or tall.
297
298Incidental changes:
299
300 - the gif_left and gif_top tags are now clamped to non-negative
301 values when writing a GIF image.
302
303 - removed dead callback read/write code
304
305The default maximum memory size when reading files is now 1G.

308===========
309
310 - Imager no longer inherits from Exporter (unless you're running an
311 old, old perl.
312
92e9df65
TC
313 - Imager can now write progressive JPEGs (it could always read them).

TC
316Bug fixes:

331
6d068d36
TC
332 - convert colors to grayscale if the supplied (or generated) palette
333 contains only grays when performing error diffusion color
334 translation.
335 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68508
336
59c150a4
TC
337 - writing a paletted image to GIF wouldn't always use the colors
338 supplied (or generated, eg. via make_colors => "mono"), which was
339 confusing at best.
340 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67912
341
5b480b14
TC
342 - replace (imager|tony)@imager.perl.org in the doc, since I don't

365
618a3282
TC
366 - compose() with the target, source or mask position off the top or
367 left of the target image didn't clip the source image correctly.
368 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67220
369
370 - compose() now returns a useful error message on a non-positive
371 opacity.
372
373 - compose.im now at 100% test coverage. (As opposed to, umm, much,
374 much less.)

2368cfec
TC
377===========
378
379Bug fixes:
380
381 - eliminate calls to i_has_format() from the test suite, since it's
382 no longer a useful way to check for file format support. Eliminate
383 i_has_format() from the functions exposed via XS.
384 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65863
385
7540f84a
TC
386 - eliminate calls to note(), which isn't in the (very old) version of
387 Test::More we have as a pre-requisite. note() is modern enough
388 that I don't feel a need to require a Test::More upgrade for it.
389 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65864

401 downgrade the version in this file.
402 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66250
403
404 - if we see an -rpath (or -R) option in $Config{lddlflags} supply
405 that option for the directories that would normally go in
406 LD_RUN_PATH. Typically an explicit -rpath overrides LD_RUN_PATH.

943This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
944rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
945channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
946and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
947release.

TC
952 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
953
954 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
955 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
956 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
957 noalpha channels or back.
958 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
959
960 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
961 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
962 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
963 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
964
965 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
966 functions when filling.
967 Corrected normal combine mode.
968 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
969 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
970 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
971 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
972 similarly.

1011 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
1012 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
1013 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
1014 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
1015 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
1016 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
1017 bugzilla.

1027 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
1028 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
1029 10.5 and were causing some build problems.

1031 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.

1330 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25561
1331
1332 - avoid Data::Dumper in regops.perl to support older releases of perl

1335Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
1336===========
1337
1338This is primarily a bug fix release.
1339
1340Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
1341
1342There is one new feature:
1343
1344 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
1345 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
1346 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
1347
1348Several bugs were fixed:
1349
1350 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
1351 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
1352
1353 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
1354 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
1355
1356 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
1357 the file correctly
1358 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
1359
1360 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
1361 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
1362
1363 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
1364 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
1365 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
1366
1367 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
1368 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
1369 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
1370
1371 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
1372 doing all along.
1373
1374Win32 font driver fixes:
1375
1376 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
1377 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
1378
1379 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
1380 advance width they would be clipped
1381
1382
1383Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
1384===========
1385
1386This is primarily a feature release:
1387
1388 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
1389 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
1390 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
1391 blurry results than normal.
1392 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
1393
1394 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
1395 channel.
1396 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
1397
1398 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
1399 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
1400 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
1401 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
1402 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
1403 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
1404 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
1405
1406 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
1407 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
1408 should upgrade.
1409 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
1410
1411 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
1412 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
1413 'index'.
1414 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
1415
1416 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
1417 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
1418
1419 - minor documentation fixes
1420
1421
1422Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
1423===========
1424
1425This is a bugfix release.
1426
1427Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
1428suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
1429removed.
1430http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
1431
1432
1433Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
1434===========
1435
1436This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
1437fixes, new features:
1438
1439 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
1440
1441 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
1442
1443 - add POD coverage tests
1444
1445 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
1446 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
1447 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
1448
1449 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
1450 just to the area the same color as the seed.
1451 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
1452
1453
1454Bug fixes:
1455
1456 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
1457 calculating the advance width.
1458 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
1459
1460 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
1461 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
1462 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
1463 spaces
1464
1465 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
1466 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
1467 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
1468 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
1469 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
1470
1471 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
1472 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
1473 result in an error.
1474 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
1475
1476 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
1477 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
1478
1479And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
1480
1481

1487 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496
1488
1489 - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the
1490 paste() method
1491 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712
