62 | Bug fixes: |
63 | ||
64 | - CRITICAL: the "Imager" typemap entry (not used by Imager itself) | |

94 | Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006 |
95 | =========== | |
96 | ||
97 | This is primarily a bug fix release. | |
98 | ||
99 | Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled. | |
100 | ||
101 | There is one new feature: | |
102 | ||
103 | - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166) | |
104 | http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276 | |
105 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166 | |
106 | ||
107 | Several bugs were fixed: | |
108 | ||
109 | - the string() method would not output the string "0" | |
110 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770 | |
111 | ||
112 | - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown) | |
113 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944 | |
114 | ||
115 | - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from | |
116 | the file correctly | |
117 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192 | |
118 | ||
119 | - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC | |
120 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922 | |
121 | ||
122 | - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as | |
123 | terminated by NUL (chr 0) | |
124 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770 | |
125 | ||
126 | - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since | |
127 | that's the default build name for zlib on Win32. | |
128 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064 | |
129 | ||
130 | - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been | |
131 | doing all along. | |
132 | ||
133 | Win32 font driver fixes: | |
134 | ||
135 | - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign | |
136 | http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276 | |
137 | ||
138 | - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the | |
139 | advance width they would be clipped | |
140 | ||
141 | ||
142 | Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006 | |
143 | =========== | |
144 | ||
145 | This is primarily a feature release: | |
146 | ||
147 | - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale() | |
148 | method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This | |
149 | is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less | |
150 | blurry results than normal. | |
151 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677 | |
152 | ||
153 | - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha | |
154 | channel. | |
155 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678 | |
156 | ||
157 | - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single | |
158 | image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall | |
159 | back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means | |
160 | you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions | |
161 | without having to check if the type is formatted by that method. | |
162 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457 | |
163 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458 | |
164 | ||
165 | - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have | |
166 | libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you | |
167 | should upgrade. | |
168 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185 | |
169 | ||
170 | - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index | |
171 | based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to | |
172 | 'index'. | |
173 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338 | |
174 | ||
175 | - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support | |
176 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687 | |
177 | ||
178 | - minor documentation fixes | |
179 | ||
180 | ||
181 | Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006 | |
182 | =========== | |
183 | ||
184 | This is a bugfix release. | |
185 | ||
186 | Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test | |
187 | suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was | |
188 | removed. | |
189 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705 | |
190 | ||
191 | ||
192 | Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006 | |
193 | =========== | |
194 | ||
195 | This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug | |
196 | fixes, new features: | |
197 | ||
198 | - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files | |
199 | ||
200 | - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats | |
201 | ||
202 | - add POD coverage tests | |
203 | ||
204 | - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on | |
205 | instead of requiring Imager::Color objects. | |
206 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056 | |
207 | ||
208 | - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of | |
209 | just to the area the same color as the seed. | |
210 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618 | |
211 | ||
212 | ||
213 | Bug fixes: | |
214 | ||
215 | - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when | |
216 | calculating the advance width. | |
217 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554 | |
218 | ||
219 | - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and | |
220 | trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also | |
221 | produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only | |
222 | spaces | |
223 | ||
224 | - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the | |
225 | image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok | |
226 | due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the | |
227 | inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB. | |
228 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416 | |
229 | ||
230 | - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any | |
231 | image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would | |
232 | result in an error. | |
233 | http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415 | |
234 | ||
235 | - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since | |
236 | we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries. | |
237 | ||
238 | And various minor fixes and documentation updates. | |
239 | ||
240 | ||
241 | Imager 0.51 - 23 Apr 2006 | |
242 | =========== | |
243 | ||
244 | - fix a validation bug when processing JPEG EXIF data that can cause | |
245 | a crash | |
246 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496 | |
247 | ||
248 | - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the | |
249 | paste() method | |
250 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712 | |
251 | ||
252 | - fix a problem in Imager's "smart" handling of the color parameter | |
253 | to various methods. | |
254 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18561 | |
255 | ||
256 | ||
257 | Imager 0.50 - 29 Mar 2006 | |
258 | =========== | |
259 | ||
260 | - CRITICAL: fixes a segmentation fault from attempting to write a 2 | |
261 | or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the | |
262 | output is an in-memeory buffer. | |
263 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397 | |
264 | ||
265 | - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code | |
266 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18051 | |
267 | ||
268 | - skip Inline::C tests when building in a directory with spaces | |
269 | http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18049 |
