1 Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
8 - read_multi() didn't handle a missing file format library correctly,
9 aborting on failing to call i_readgif_multi_wiol() or
10 i_readtiff_multi_wiol().
12 - fix spelling errors patched by Debian
13 http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libimager-perl/debian/patches/spelling.patch?revision=54839&view=markup
15 - add an (unshipped) author test to spellcheck Imager's POD.
17 Imager 0.73 - 15 Mar 2010
20 - implement outline circles, both anti-aliased and not
21 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19755
23 - a combine => "none" fill to a 1 or 3 channel image would produce
26 Imager 0.72 - 09 Dec 2009
29 Bump version for release, since 0.71_03 is stable with CPAN testers.
31 Imager 0.71_03 - 5 Dec 2009
34 - further adjust the threads test so it only performs the tests on
35 perls where it's expected to work, and only if the threads module
38 Imager 0.71_02 - 1 Dec 2009
41 - adjust the way we load the threads module for the threads test so
42 it works with non-threaded perls
44 Imager 0.71_01 - 30 Nov 2009
49 - use scanline oriented operations to flip images instead of pixel
51 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39278
53 - use double/sample operations to flip large sample images instead of
54 8-bit sample operations.
55 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39280
58 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51874
60 - prevent double-frees when someone creates Imager objects and then
61 creates a thread. Note: this just handles some simple cases,
62 Imager doesn't support perl threads, and isn't likely to.
63 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52268
65 Imager 0.71 - 16 Nov 2009
68 - add the opacity fill type - an adaptor that modifies the opacity of
73 - the conv filter now enforces that the sum of the coefficients is
74 non-zero. Also, rather than skipping pixels off the edge off the
75 edge of the image, the closest edge pixel is used. Previously
76 dividing by the zero sum of coefficients could cause invalid
77 results or runtime exceptions.
78 Thanks to David Cantrell's Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box for revealing
81 Imager 0.70 - 21 Sep 2009
86 - release image row and comments memory on all error returns in gif
89 - handle zero length extensions, previously this would cause a null
91 Thanks to Krzysztof WojtaÅ for the test data and fix for this.
93 - an integer division meant that preview scaling to below 1 pixel
94 wide or high (which isn't too useful anyway) was calculating using
95 NaNs on most platforms, and causing an exception on others.
96 Thanks to David Cantrell for producing a backtrace of the crash on
97 his Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box which made it possible to track this
100 Imager 0.69 - 08 Sep 2009
105 - broken test fix - was attempting to call a function skip_all, when
106 that should be a parameter to plan().
108 - briefly document apidocs.perl, the tool used to build
109 Imager::APIRef and make some minor enhancements
111 - various minor documentation enhancements and fixes.
113 Imager 0.68 - 07 Sep 2009
116 - Imager->new(file => $filename) and other similar incantations will
118 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48261
122 - avoid using CHECK as a label in Imager::Test
123 http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5220921
125 - re-work most image file test files that require a library into
126 separate library present/not present files to remove stupidly long
129 - don't treat rubthrough() outside the bounds of the target image as
131 http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5185716
133 Imager 0.67_01 - 02 Sep 2009
138 - correct documentation of default of raw image interleave read
140 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42074
142 - add raw_ prefix to raw read parameters, though the original names
145 - fail the read if an invalid raw_interleave parameter is supplied
147 - warn if no interleave or raw_interleave parameter is supplied,
148 since the documented default was wrong, and incompatible with the
151 - for reading raw images, if raw_storechannels > raw_datachannels,
152 set the extra channels in the image to 0
154 - when probing for executables like freetype-config, search for .bat
155 and .cmd on MSWin32, as well as .exe.
156 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49275
158 - re-work the external libraries section of README:
159 - list Debian and Redhat package names for each library
163 - use the new EU::MM META_MERGE facility instead of generating
164 META.yml from scratch
165 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47888
167 - use Devel::CheckLib (bundled, modified) to check which release of
168 libtiff is installed and reject 3.9.0
169 http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2088
170 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543079
172 Imager 0.67 - 12 Dec 2008
177 - fix a packaging error
179 Imager 0.66 - 12 Dec 2008
182 - 24-bit color .ICO/.CUR files can now be read.
186 - an optimization skipping 0 src alpha values could cause the
187 rubthrough() to read past the end of a buffer.
188 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/05/msg1509184.html
190 - corrected a reference leak where writing GIFs would leak memory.
191 This could also happen calling to_paletted().
192 Also documented the underlying long existing feature where the
193 colors parameter is filled with the generated color table and added
195 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41028
197 - write out the image size in bytes field of a BMP correctly.
198 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41406
200 - add limited tests for Imager::ExtUtils
202 - make Imager::ExtUtils->includes use an absolute path, since
203 a relative path could cause failures using Inline::C.
204 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37353
206 - re-arrange the POD for Imager::Font::BBox:
207 - mark total_width(), pos_width(), end_offset() obsolete, since
208 they're mostly for backwards compatibility
209 - group width methods and height methods
210 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39999
212 Imager 0.65 - 20 May 2008
217 - In some cases when an error occurs reading those parts of a JPEG
218 file after the image the scan-line buffer could be freed a second
219 time. In cases where the the error occured while reading the image
220 data it's possible that the buffer could have leaked.
221 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this and help in tracking
224 - the gif_screen_height tag was overriding the screen width and being
225 ignored for the screen height when present.
226 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=35568
228 Imager 0.64 - 23 April 2008
231 This is a bug fix release. This includes a fix for a possible
236 - Possible security issue: The floating point sample path for image
237 based fills had a buffer overflow. This would overwrite the end of
238 a malloc()ed buffer with double precision floats.
239 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35324
242 - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
243 true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
244 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
246 - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
247 resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
248 too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
249 not a buffer overflow.
250 Added a check for the failure.
251 scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
252 scale size parameters are a reference.
253 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35172
255 - Regression: filling a greyscale image with a hatch used the wrong
256 color channels from the supplied fg/bg colors.
257 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35278
259 - fixed a related problem for image fills.
261 Imager 0.63 - 7 April 2008
264 This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
265 rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
266 channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
267 and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
270 - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.
271 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28825
273 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
275 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
276 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
277 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
278 noalpha channels or back.
279 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
281 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
282 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
283 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
284 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
286 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
287 functions when filling.
288 Corrected normal combine mode.
289 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
290 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
291 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
292 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
294 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29879
296 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a JPEG file will now write that
297 image as if composited against a background, black by default,
298 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
299 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29876
301 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a PGM/PPM file will now write
302 that image as if composited against a background, black by default,
303 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
304 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30074
306 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a BMP file will now write that
307 image as if composited against a background, black by default,
308 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
309 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30075
313 - Imager::Matrix2d->translate() now only requires one of the x or y
315 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29937
317 - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
318 the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
319 compressible output files.
320 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32324
322 - removed the pointless #! line from lib/Imager/Font/Wrap.pm
324 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166254
325 I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
326 code, not intended for installation.
327 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33408
329 - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
330 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
332 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
333 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
334 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
335 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
336 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
337 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
339 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32926
341 Imager 0.62 - 10 December 2007
344 - Makefile.PL now expands ~/path supplied to --incpath or --libpath
345 to /path under your home directory.
346 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29484
348 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
349 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
350 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
351 So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
352 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.
354 - added the det() function to the transform2() engine.
355 added the sample quad_to_square.pl
356 Courtesy Richard Fairhurst.
357 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=31244
361 - samples/gifscale.pl sourced the base value for gif_top from
363 Thanks to Eleneldil G. Arilou for pointing this out.
365 - t/t82inline.t no longer loads B at runtime, to work around a bug
366 in some 5.005_0[45] installations.
367 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30508
369 - work around Module::Depends::Intrusive bug #21229
370 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30520
372 - the hardinvert filter no-longer inverts the alpha channel.
373 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30002
375 - the hardinvert filter now supports large samples
377 Imager 0.61_02 - 28 November 2007
380 - major TIFF support re-work
381 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20329
383 - added a C level image interface for accessing samples from 1-32
384 bits, exposed this at the perl level in getsamples()
386 - the conv filter now works at floating point precision for high bit
389 - added is_bilevel method to test whether an image should be written as
390 a bilevel image if the image format supports it.
392 - added -log-stderr as an Imager import list option
394 - added some important types to Imager::APIRef
396 - added test_image_double() to Imager::Test
400 - Imager::Fountain couldn't read GIMP gradient files with 10 or more
403 - the scale() method with qtype mixing now handles images with an
404 alpha channel correctly.
406 - fixed a broken link from the "animated GIF" entry in the concept index.
407 Thanks to Slaven Rezic.
408 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30889
410 - on some perl's the infix expression parser test would fail due to
411 actions in the grammar returning false. Made sure all actions return
413 Thanks to Richard Fairhurst for spending a lot of time in tracking
415 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29562
417 Imager 0.61 - 5 November 2007
420 - added samples/gifscale.pl, which adjusts the screen size/position tags
421 when scaling an animated gif
422 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27591
426 - correct handling of sz in matrix_transform() - this should allow
427 perspective type transformations to work now.
428 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29936
430 - prevent a cast to integer warning on x64 builds in datatypes.c
431 also fixed some other type warnings
432 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30204
434 - some sub-directory tests depended on files produced by the parent
436 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30203
438 - Imager::Font::Wrap doesn't correctly set savepos
439 thanks to Nikita Dedik and Eleneldil G. Arilou for reporting this.
440 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29771
442 - test 171 in t/t01introvert.t was failing on perls configured to
444 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29413
446 - the code for the transform2() uminus operator was missing a break.
447 Added tests for better code coverage of the ops.
448 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29296
450 - the SGI RLE compression code could overflow its compression buffer
451 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30334
453 - the 32-bit output function used by the SGI code only handled values
454 under 0x10000. This was most noticable when writing large RLE images.
455 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30335
457 - validate chan_count for chans == NULL for each of the i_gsamp()
459 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28985
461 - attempt to work around the test failure at
462 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/09/msg650810.html
463 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29562
465 - improve the error messages produced when attempting to read or write
466 an unknown image file format.
467 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30103
469 - improve the transform2() documentation
470 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29267
472 - correctly generate the author key in META.yml
473 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30377
475 - correctly blend a rotated (or matrix_transformed()) image when
476 performing interpolation in the presence of an alpha channel.
477 Also corrected the centring of the rotated image on the output
480 Imager 0.60 - 30 August 2007
483 - Finished/rewrote Arnar's old SGI RGB file format support, so Imager
484 now has full SGI RGB image format, including RLE and 16-bit/sample
486 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8666
488 - logging functions are now available in the API
490 - applied Gabriel Vasseur's patch
491 added documentation, further tests, and support for greyscale images
492 Obviously problems are my fault :)
493 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28142
495 - the mask for ICO/CUR images is now applied as an alpha channel to
496 the returned image. For the old behaviour, supply ico_masked => 0
497 to read() or read_multi(). This should be less confusing when
498 using Imager as a general image processor.
499 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29001
503 - in some cases it's possible for giflib/libungif to return color
504 indexes outside the range of colors defined by the image's palette.
505 We now expand the palette to match the indexes used.
506 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this.
508 - fixed various memory leaks that could occur when failing to read png,
509 jpeg, bmp or tga files.
511 - to avoid confusion, channels not present in the image are returned as
512 zero by getscanline(). This has no effect on the C level i_glin()
513 and i_glinf() API functions which continue to not set the unused
516 - the convert() method now returns an image of the same sample size as
518 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28492
520 - remove repeated text in Imager::Files
521 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27589
523 - be even more explicit that scale() and friends don't modify the source
524 image, but return a new image.
525 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28570
527 - improve the error message from errstr() when you try to load a font
528 for which the driver hasn't been built in Imager.
529 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27571
531 - transparency is now enabled by default when writing GIF images
532 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27615
534 - Imager would not load on Windows 98
535 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27653
537 Imager 0.59 - 14 June 2007
542 - fixes a regression introduced by the fixes for RT 11972
543 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27546
545 - cropping outside the image would return an Imager object with
546 no low-level image object, instead of returning false.
547 Fixed by: Philip Gwyn (Leolo)
548 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27509
550 Imager 0.58 - 16 May 2007
553 No significant changes from 0.57_01.
555 Imager 0.57_01 - 11 May 2007
558 - added to_rgb16 to produce a 16-bit/sample version of an image
560 - improve freetype 1.x text output efficiency
564 - search another place for rgb.txt, and check all the places
565 Imager::Color checks when deciding whether to skip testing it
566 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26064
568 - use a convolution kernel size based on the stddev rather than a
569 fixed size when performing a gaussian blur
570 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25645
572 - document the difference() method's mindist parameter, and debug it.
574 - put the Imager release number in the Inline::C generated code to
575 regenerate Inline code when a new release of Imager is installed.
576 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26278
578 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 1.x driver.
579 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
581 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the T1lib driver.
582 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
584 - reworked library probing, we can now set more than one probe
585 function for a library. Disabled the default (non-freetype-config)
586 library probe and added an extra probe function that searches for
587 both ft2build.h and whatever it includes, and adds -I as needed.
588 Hopefully this will fix build problems like
589 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/05/msg472281.html
590 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26086
592 Imager 0.57 - 30 Apr 2007
595 This is a maintenence release fixing a security issue in Imager.
597 - CRITICAL: a specially crafted compressed BMP file can cause a buffer
598 overflow in malloced memory. There will be further discussion of
599 this issue in the ticket below.
600 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26811
601 CVE-2007-2459 CVE-2007-2413
602 The descriptions at cve.mitre.org varied in quality, please see the
603 ticket at rt.cpan.org for a more accurate description of the issue.
605 Imager 0.56 - 1 Apr 2007
608 - added support for reading 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
610 - added support for writing 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
612 - improved performance of reading PBM/PGM/PPM images
614 - added support for writing PBM images if the image is paletted and
615 contains only black and white
617 - added a new make_colors value - "mono"
619 - switched from the svn log Changes to a manual Changes to reduce
622 - new sample code - samples/flasher.pl
626 - CRITICAL: the "Imager" typemap entry (not used by Imager itself)
627 was returning an image object with an extra reference, this
628 resulted in a memory leak.
629 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24992
631 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 2.x driver
632 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
634 - reading bmp files now consitently handles short reads. You can now
635 supply a parameter to treat a short read as successful and set
637 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8426
639 - previously, reading ASCII PBM files required spaces between samples,
640 even though the format doesn't require that
642 - improved documentation of the unsharpmask filter (I hope)
643 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25531
645 - force flushing of the output from i_tt_dump_names() and test output
646 in t/t35ttfont.t to prevent output from being mixed up.

649 - rewrite a conditional expression as an if() to hopefully work around
650 a bug in the pre-4.0 GCC Apple shipped with OS X 10.4.
651 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25561
653 - avoid Data::Dumper in regops.perl to support older releases of perl

656 Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
659 This is primarily a bug fix release.
661 Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
663 There is one new feature:
665 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
666 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
667 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
669 Several bugs were fixed:
671 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
672 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
674 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
675 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
677 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
679 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
681 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
682 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
684 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
685 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
686 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
688 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
689 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
690 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
692 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
695 Win32 font driver fixes:
697 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
698 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
700 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
701 advance width they would be clipped
704 Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
707 This is primarily a feature release:
709 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
710 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
711 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
712 blurry results than normal.
713 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
715 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
717 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
719 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
720 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
721 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
722 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
723 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
724 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
725 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
727 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
728 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
730 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
732 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
733 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
735 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
737 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
738 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
740 - minor documentation fixes
743 Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
746 This is a bugfix release.
748 Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
749 suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
751 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
754 Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
757 This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
760 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
762 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
764 - add POD coverage tests
766 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
767 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
768 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
770 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
771 just to the area the same color as the seed.
772 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
777 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
778 calculating the advance width.
779 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
781 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
782 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
783 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
786 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
787 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
788 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
789 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
790 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
792 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
793 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
795 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
797 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
798 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
800 And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
803 Imager 0.51 - 23 Apr 2006
806 - fix a validation bug when processing JPEG EXIF data that can cause
808 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496
810 - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the

816 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18561
819 Imager 0.50 - 29 Mar 2006
822 - CRITICAL: fixes a segmentation fault from attempting to write a 2
823 or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
824 output is an in-memeory buffer.
825 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397
827 - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code
