19 - add the opacity fill type - an adaptor that modifies the opacity of
20 another fill.

22Bug fixes:
23
24 - the conv filter now enforces that the sum of the coefficients is
25 non-zero. Also, rather than skipping pixels off the edge off the
26 edge of the image, the closest edge pixel is used. Previously
27 dividing by the zero sum of coefficients could cause invalid
28 results or runtime exceptions.
29 Thanks to David Cantrell's Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box for revealing
30 this bug.

40 - handle zero length extensions, previously this would cause a null
41 pointer dereference
42 Thanks to Krzysztof Wojtaś for the test data and fix for this.

44 - an integer division meant that preview scaling to below 1 pixel
45 wide or high (which isn't too useful anyway) was calculating using
46 NaNs on most platforms, and causing an exception on others.
47 Thanks to David Cantrell for producing a backtrace of the crash on
48 his Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box which made it possible to track this
49 down.

98 - warn if no interleave or raw_interleave parameter is supplied,
99 since the documented default was wrong, and incompatible with the

166Bug fixes:
167
168 - In some cases when an error occurs reading those parts of a JPEG
169 file after the image the scan-line buffer could be freed a second
170 time. In cases where the the error occured while reading the image
171 data it's possible that the buffer could have leaked.
172 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this and help in tracking
173 it down.

185Bug fixes:
186
e02d22d2
TC
187 - Possible security issue: The floating point sample path for image
188 based fills had a buffer overflow. This would overwrite the end of
189 a malloc()ed buffer with double precision floats.
190 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35324
6912d85a 191 CVE-2008-1928
e02d22d2 192
de470892
TC
193 - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
194 true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
195 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
196
197 - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
198 resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
199 too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
200 not a buffer overflow.
201 Added a check for the failure.
202 scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
203 scale size parameters are a reference.
204 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35172

TC
213===========
214
242d7497
TC
215This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
216rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
217channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
218and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
219release.
220

TC
221 - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.

223
9b1ec2b8
TC
224 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
225
226 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
227 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
228 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
229 noalpha channels or back.
230 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
231
232 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
233 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
234 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
235 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
236
237 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
238 functions when filling.
239 Corrected normal combine mode.
240 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
241 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
242 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
243 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
244 similarly.

265 parameters.

267
2757bad0
TC
268 - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
269 the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
270 compressible output files.
271 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32324
272
3da08517
TC
273 - removed the pointless #! line from lib/Imager/Font/Wrap.pm
274 Noticed when I saw:
275 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166254
276 I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
277 code, not intended for installation.
278 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33408
279
242d7497
TC
280 - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
281 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
282
283 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
284 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
285 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
286 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
287 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
288 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
289 bugzilla.

299 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
300 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
301 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
302 So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
303 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.

454 - in some cases it's possible for giflib/libungif to return color
455 indexes outside the range of colors defined by the image's palette.
456 We now expand the palette to match the indexes used.
457 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this.

462 - to avoid confusion, channels not present in the image are returned as
463 zero by getscanline(). This has no effect on the C level i_glin()
464 and i_glinf() API functions which continue to not set the unused
465 channels.

607Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
608===========
609
610This is primarily a bug fix release.
611
612Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
613
614There is one new feature:
615
616 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
617 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
618 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
619
620Several bugs were fixed:
621
622 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
623 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
624
625 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
626 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
627
628 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
629 the file correctly
630 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
631
632 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
633 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
634
635 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
636 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
637 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
638
639 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
640 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
641 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
642
643 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
644 doing all along.
645
646Win32 font driver fixes:
647
648 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
649 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
650
651 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
652 advance width they would be clipped
653
654
655Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
656===========
657
658This is primarily a feature release:
659
660 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
661 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
662 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
663 blurry results than normal.
664 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
665
666 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
667 channel.
668 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
669
670 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
671 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
672 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
673 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
674 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
675 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
676 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
677
678 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
679 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
680 should upgrade.
681 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
682
683 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
684 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
685 'index'.
686 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
687
688 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
689 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
690
691 - minor documentation fixes
692
693
694Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
695===========
696
697This is a bugfix release.
698
699Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
700suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
701removed.
702http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
703
704
705Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
706===========
707
708This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
709fixes, new features:
710
711 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
712
713 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
714
715 - add POD coverage tests
716
717 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
718 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
719 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
720
721 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
722 just to the area the same color as the seed.
723 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
724
725
726Bug fixes:
727
728 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
729 calculating the advance width.
730 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
731
732 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
733 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
734 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
735 spaces
736
737 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
738 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
739 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
740 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
741 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
742
743 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
744 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
745 result in an error.
746 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
747
748 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
749 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
750
751And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
752
753

774 or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
775 output is an in-memeory buffer.
