1 Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
3 - re-work the t/200-file/400-basic.t to correctly handle failures
4 It's custom ok() function didn't have a prototype and didn't use scalar().
5 This caused ok() to use the note instead of the value being tested when
6 the method called returned an empty list. For an example of the problem
7 caused, see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812093
9 - remove some noise from when Imager tried to work with buggy
12 - the new autolevels filter (0.99) used an integer for the sample
13 scaling factor which caused the top output level to be too low
14 (depending on the scaling required.) It now uses a double.
15 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
17 - the new autolevels filter had off-by-one errors calculation the
18 minimum and maximum luminance from the histogram. This slightly
19 reduced the contrast of the output image.
20 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
22 - the new autolevels filter now uses a lookup table for 8-bit images
23 to avoid a floating point multiply for each sample.
24 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
26 - the addcolors() method leaked memory.
28 Imager 1.004 - 8 Nov 2015
31 - Imager::Color::Table is now pre-loaded by the preload() method.
32 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=104896
34 - fix an assertion triggered under perl 5.23.4.
35 Thanks to A. Sinan Unur for the report and the patch.
37 - Imager->new can now be used to read raw image files.
38 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=106836
39 Thanks to Richard Kelsch for reporting this.
41 - deal with output changes from Pod::Spell
42 https://github.com/perl-pod/Pod-Spell/issues/21
44 Imager 1.003 - 12 May 2015
47 - update 1.002 release notes to include the center change for filled
50 - flood_fill() would escape beyond a 4-connected space under some
52 Added many more flood_fill() tests.
53 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=103786
55 Imager 1.002 - 3 Apr 2015
58 - drawing anti-aliased filled circles is now 10 to 50 times faster
59 depending on the size of the circle.
60 This also changed the center from being the center of the pixel to
61 being the top left of the pixel to match the filled arcs drawn by
63 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101682
65 - enhancements to polygon filling:
67 - added a mode parameter to control how overlapping regions behave
69 - added a polypolygon() method to fill more than one polygon at a
72 - polygon filling is now exposed through the API.
74 - added colormodel(), alphachannel() and colorchannels() methods.
75 These were added for two reasons:
77 - a future version of Imager may allow the number of channels in
78 an image to not directly represent the color model of an image.
79 eg. a greyscale TIFF image with multiple alpha channels.
81 - a future version of Imager may allow an image to be read without
82 translation, for example a TIFF file that contains measurements
83 from an instrument. Currently Imager transforms the samples into
84 the range 0.0 ... 1.0 which may means the user has to translates
87 An untranslated image would be unusable as image data, so
88 colormodel() would return "unknown" in this case.
90 Similarly a CMYK image might be returned as an "unknown" color
91 model image, if the caller chooses to disable translation to
94 Imager 1.001 - 2 Jan 2015
97 - both Imager and perl 5.21.3 define my_strerror(), prevent a conflict
98 Thanks to Slaven Rezic for the report and the patch.
99 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98234
101 - GIF: clean-up a test file if the test for the giflib 4.2.0 file
104 - fix Imager::Matrix2d::rotate()'s centre point handling
105 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99959
107 - ICO: don't apply the icon mask to images with an alpha channel by
109 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99507
111 - make verbose probing output more verbose
113 - use Imager::Probe to probe for freetype 1.x
114 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=100502
116 - The --enable and --disable parameters to the top-level Makefile.PL
119 - update the bundled/modified Devel::CheckLib to handle the gcc-4
122 Imager 1.000 - 28 Jul 2014
125 There's nothing special about Imager 1.000, it's just another release.
127 - fix the skip check for the iolayer qr// buffer test
129 - improve error reporting for the iolayer test failing on a small
130 number of Win32 CPAN testers
132 Imager 0.99_02 - 21 Jul 2014
135 - Imager::Filter::Mandelbrot (and dynfilt/mandelbrot.c) - initialize
136 the blue channel in the generated palette, and allow each color
137 component to be in the range 100..255 instead of just 100..254.
138 Thanks to Ralf Neubauer.
139 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97086
141 - revert "improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()"
142 This caused problems with older perls and didn't provide much of a
143 performance improvement.
145 - support Inline 0.57 and later.
146 Inline 0.57 changed the "with" interface.
147 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97108
149 - don't define our own MAXINT macro, it conflicts with windows header
150 files and in a few places it was the wrong value to use anyway.
151 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96425
153 Imager 0.99_01 - 29 Jun 2014
156 - GIF: add support for giflib 5.1.0, which added error code pointer
157 parameters to EGifCloseFile() and DGifCloseFile().
158 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96756
160 - GIF: avoid a double-free when do_write() fails.
162 - fix SV type probing to work on perl before 5.12. Broken in 0.99.
163 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96761
165 - PNG: skip the benign error test before libpng 1.6.0, since the
166 error we're testing didn't exist before 1.6.0.
167 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717 (continued)
169 Imager 0.99 - 25 Jun 2014
172 - Imager::IO->new_buffer() (and hence Imager->read()'s data
173 parameter) now accepts a reference to a scalar as well as just a
175 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
177 - Imager::IO->new_buffer() now always makes a copy of the passed in
178 buffer to avoid problems with temporary objects used for the return
180 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
182 - improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()
183 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92738
185 - load plugins from absolute paths on Android
186 Thanks to Brian Fraser.
187 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=93272
189 - added the jpeg_optimize parameter for writing JPEG files. This can
190 significantly reduce file sizes, but uses more memory and time.
191 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94292
193 - the autolevels filter now works on the luminosity of the image
194 rather then working per channel. The old autolevels filter is
195 still available as "autolevels_skew".
196 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94413
198 - Imager::File::PNG now supports libpng 1.6.10.
199 1.6.10 changed CRC errors from benign errors to normal errors,
200 which broke the test which used CRC errors to check for benign
201 error support. Switched to using a 1-bit grey-scale image with a
202 palette to test for benign errors.
203 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717
205 Imager 0.98 - 3 Jan 2014
208 Incompatible changes:
210 - the return value of setpixel() has changed.
212 Previously the return values for undrawable pixels vs caller errors
213 changed depending on whether you used the multiple pixel calling
214 mechanism, or the single pixel mechanism.
218 - for an invalid parameter, such as an unknown colour, or missing
219 parameter, an empty list (or undef in scalar context) is
220 returned, and errstr() is set,
222 - otherwise the number of pixels drawn is returned. If none of
223 the pixels could be drawn (they were all outside the image), "0
224 but true" is returned.
226 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87650
230 - when drawing on an image with an alpha channel where the source
231 minimum is greater than zero, Imager would read from beyond the end
232 of a malloc() allocated buffer. In rare circumstances this could
233 lead to some of the source image not being written to the target
234 image, or possibly to a segmentation fault.
235 I don't believe this has any security concerns beyond that.
237 - if the first text drawn with Imager::Font::T1 is not anti-aliased,
238 text drawn would be nonsense. This would also read beyond the end
239 of a malloced buffer.
241 - non-AA text drawn with an Imager::Font::TT (Truetype 1) font would be
243 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88993
245 - Imager::Font::Wrap no longer requires the image parameter.
246 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87338
248 - a documentation typo fix in Imager::Transformations
249 Thanks to Adrian Yee.
250 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88598
252 - Image::Probe, Imager's internal module for probing library
253 locations now searches the directories specified by LD_RUN_PATH,
254 LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH for libraries,
255 and the corresponing s/\blib$/include/ directories for header
257 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86428
259 Imager 0.97 - 15 Jul 2013
262 No changes from 0.96_02.
264 Imager 0.96_02 - 8 Jul 2013
267 - PNG: treat a version mismatch between headers and library as a
269 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86659
271 - PNG: the check for benign error support is more complex than a
272 simple library version check, check for the appropriate macro.
273 Thanks for Slaven Rezic for following up on my CPAN Testers result
275 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86659
277 - W32: add a missing head1 AUTHORS to the old Win32.pm
278 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86658
280 Imager 0.96_01 - 1 Jul 2013
283 - TIFF: handle SampleFormat = 2 by translating the signed integer
284 values to unsigned by flipping their sign bits.
286 Handle SampleFormat = 3 where possible.
288 SampleFormat is ignored for paletted images.
290 Mixed SampleFormat are handled incorrectly, since libtiff returns
291 only the first SampleFormat value, and an image with both an alpha
292 channel and SampleFormat = 2 for color channels probably has a
293 different SampleFormat for the alpha channel.
295 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74540
298 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69243
300 - Imager::Color's rgba() method now returns its values as integers
301 instead of floating point. (IV instead of NV).
303 - The XS for i_map() and i_matrix_transform() now use the AV *
304 typemap instead of rolling their own.
306 - The XS for DSO_call() now uses the HV * typemap instead of
309 - The XS for i_poly_aa(), i_poly_aa_cfill(), i_transform() and
310 i_gradgen() now use a new T_AVARRAY typemap that greatly
311 simplifies the XS code.
313 - many other minor XS changes
315 - some XS code formatting
317 - TT (Freetype 1.x) and FT2 (Freetype 2.x) non-antialiased rendering
318 now renders in alpha-combining mode, to match antialiased output.
319 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73359
321 - add sample code and cookbook notes for drawing a blurred drop-shadow.
323 - add support for libpng 1.6, which changed the defaults for
324 reporting some types of error.
325 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85746
327 - FT2: use gsamp/psamp() to transfer pixels from the work image to
328 the output image instead of gpix/ppix.
329 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83478
331 - eliminate various GCC warnings, mostly initialized but otherwise
334 Imager 0.96 - 19 May 2013
337 - rearrange Imager's test files.
338 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84596
340 - Imager::Probe::_gcc_lib_paths now forces C locale.
341 A sufficiently recent gcc prints localized keys for the search
342 paths, which avoids that localization.
343 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84963
345 - fix a pod error detected by Pod::Simple 3.27 and laterm and skip
346 pod tests unless AUTOMATED_TESTING or IMAGER_AUTHOR_TESTING is set
348 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85262
349 reported by Andreas König
351 - add a test for unclosed POD in C source, and fix the errors it
353 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74875
355 - fix some spelling errors detected by the newer aspell in Debian
358 - remove a trailing ' from lib/Imager/Font/Test.pm's POD
359 thanks to gregor herrmann <gregoa@debian.org>
360 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85413
362 - add a test for standard =head1 commands and fix the errors found
364 Imager 0.95 - 19 Apr 2013
367 - handle the SVf_UTF8 flag correctly on magic strings passed to
368 Imager::IO's write() and raw_write() methods.
369 This may misbehave in perl 5.6.x since the UTF8 flag may not be
370 visible in the main SV after SvGETMAGIC().
371 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83438
373 - document that bounding_box() ignores the transformation matrix
374 supplied to tranform() for fonts.
375 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84106
377 Imager 0.94_02 - 5 Apr 2013
380 - enable debug logging for the standard font tests
382 - skip the overloaded UTF-8 text output checks on 5.6.x and earlier,
383 due to a bug in that version of perl.
385 - don't test for read() failing on a write-only handle in 5.8.x and
386 earlier, this was fixed in change 862083f7e4 in perl.
388 - report the version of Inline found during testing (an attempt to
389 diagnose some intermittent failures.)
391 Imager 0.94_01 - 2 Mar 2013
394 - NOTE: possibly backward incompatible:
395 support reading from/writing to perl filehandes that aren't raw
398 This allows Imager's I/O to honour handles with layers such as
399 gzip, scalar file handles or tied file handles.
401 This is backward incompatible in that previous Imager would simply
402 use fileno() to retrieve the fd for the file and call write(2) etc
404 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=78843
406 - moved most of README to lib/Imager/Install.pod which should make it
407 more accessible to the "web" generation, also significantly updated
410 - updated README's for the separately distributed modules to refer to
411 Imager::Install, and that they need -dev versions of packages
412 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=81265
414 - the JPEG test code now reports the compile-time library version
416 - avoid a possible compiler optimization issue on CentOS 5.9 i386 by
417 rearranging (and mildly optimizing) some code.
418 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83212
420 - fix a POD error in Imager::Fill (detected on new Pod-Simple)
421 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83434
423 - fix a broken link to Graphics::Magick
424 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=82743
426 - drawing text to a channel with FT2 would draw with random coverage
427 due to an uninitialized alpha channel.
429 - marked the function pointer underlying the mm_log() API with the
430 correct gcc magic and fixed the resulting warnings.
432 - fixed some other compiler warnings
434 - Imager::Font::W32 now properly reports text drawing errors
435 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70098
437 - handle the SVf_UTF8 flag correctly on magic (eg. overloaded)
438 strings passed as text to draw(), bounding_box(), has_chars(),
439 glyph_names() (where supported) in each of the font drivers.
440 This may misbehave in perl 5.6.x since the UTF8 flag may not be
441 visible in the main SV after SvGETMAGIC().
442 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83438 (partial)
444 Imager 0.94 - 15 Dec 2012
445 =========================
447 Variations on some of these changes were included in development
450 - improved thread safety
451 - the internal error stack and log file handle are now in a per-thread
453 - JPEG now captures IPTC information in a thread-safe way
454 - avoid globals where possible for warning capture in libtiff
455 - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe giflib
456 - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe tifflib
457 - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe T1Lib
458 - use a library handle per thread for freetype 2.
459 - use an engine handle per thread for freetype 1.x.
460 - originally these changes broke ABI compatibility, this has been
463 - clarify the return value of getpixel();
464 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=81198
466 - fixed a race condition in parallel testing for T1
468 - fixed a bug in handling yoff for untransformed image-based fills
470 - documentation improvements for Imager::Fill
472 - FT2: report the library version while testing.
474 Imager 0.93 - 15 Oct 2012
479 - previously a transparency enabled GIF write (the default) would
480 always use a GIF89a header even if none of the images were
483 - previously the probe step for freetype-config would fail on cygwin
485 - catch an invalid matrix parameter to convert() instead of crashing
486 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79922
488 - remove the 16-bit/sample limitation from the documentation for
489 setsamples(), it hasn't applied for many releases.
490 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79989
492 - don't copy setsamples() data parameter, it may be a large scalar
493 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79990
495 - clean up .dSYM directories generated performing probes on OS X
498 - pass the --verbose command-line option through to Imager::Probe in
499 sub-module's Makefile.PLs
500 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75878
504 - support for giflib 5.0. (5.0.1 and later)
505 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79029
506 The giflib API Imager uses doesn't have a mechanism to set the
507 header version in 5.0.0.
509 - update the GIF library probe code to check for the new giflib 5.0.1
510 EGifSetGifVersion() function, and to check for the giflib 4.2.0
511 uninitialized gif89 bug.
512 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79679
513 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3574283&group_id=102202&atid=631304
515 - avoid static variables when capturing IPTC data from JPEG files
517 - match Imager::Font;:T1's error message translations to those from
518 later versions of T1Lib.
520 - for libtiff versions that support extended warning handlers (3.8.0
521 or later), use them to avoid some global variables.
523 - note Image::ExifTool for better metadata support.
524 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79251
526 Imager 0.92 - 14 Aug 2012
529 - giflib 4.2 eliminates the GIF_LIB_VERSION macro, handle that
530 correctly for both probing and runtime.
531 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77672
533 - allow building JPEG/imexif.c on C89 compilers.
535 - allow building GIF/imgif.c on C89 compilers.
537 Imager 0.91 - 4 Jun 2012
542 - The size of rotated images is no longer rounded up so aggressively.
543 Added rounding to the linear interpolation done for rotate() and
544 matrix_transform() for 1 and 3 channel 8-bit images.
545 Adjusted the two tranlate matrices used to build the final rotation
546 matrix to use the distance between the outlier pixels rather than
547 the pixel dimensions (ie. dimension-1).
548 With all of this the output of rotate(degrees => 270) on an 8-bit
549 image exactly matches the output of rotate(right => 270).
550 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77063
554 - eliminate the old IIM_new(), IIM_DESTROY() names from Imager's
555 internals, those names only matter for the XS interface.
557 - improve error reporting when PERL_INITIALIZE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS finds
558 the API level compiled into a loadable module such as
559 Imager::File::GIF doesn't match that of Imager. Previously it
560 could be difficult to determine exactly which module was failing to
562 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77173
564 - added Imager->check_file_limits() as an interface to the
565 i_int_check_image_file_limits() API.
567 - Imager->set_file_limits(reset => 1) now resets the limits to the
568 defaults rather than setting them all to unlimited.
570 - wrote a brief security note as Imager::Security
571 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68910
573 Imager 0.90 - 30 Apr 2012
578 - Imager::Test::is_imaged() attempted to process an "epsilon"
579 parameter but the prototype didn't allow for the extra parameter.
580 Corrected the prototype.
582 - when downconverting samples (eg. from floating point to 8 bit)
583 Imager now rounds the sample value rather than attempting to
584 allocate input values over output values equally. The old
585 behaviour had the probably surprising effect of converting a
586 floating point 2.1/255.0 into an 8-bit 3 rather than the expected
588 This may result in slightly different 8 or 16-bit output images.
590 - BI_BITFIELD BMP images were handled incorrectly, both in
591 incorrectly calculating the space required for the masks and in
592 processing the image data itself.
593 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=76736
595 - some odd width BMP BI_RLE4 images use run lengths that run one off
596 the edge of the image. Imager now allows this, discarding the
599 - odd length RLE4 runs in BMP images were decoded incorrectly.
601 - pkg-config could sometimes return a library that was in a directory
602 EU::MM / $Config{libpth} doesn't know about, but the compiler did.
603 If no -L is included in the pkg-config library information check if
604 EU::MM can find the library, and if not, search our configured
605 directories and insert that into the library flags.
606 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75869
608 - Imager::Probe can now probe for libraries with dependent libraries,
609 common for static linking, eg. libpng requires libz.
610 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
612 - libpng 1.5 specific probes were looking for libpng 1.4 filenames.
614 - added alternative probe configurations that try to link libz, to
615 handle a statically linked libpng.
616 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
618 - if a probe includes testcode, Imager::Probe now checks that code as
619 part of the process of checking each configuration rather than as a
620 post test of the found configuration. This allows alternate
621 configurations to be checked if a matching but non-working
622 configuration is found.
623 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
627 - when reading or writing images via callbacks, the default callbacks
628 now push an error message indicating that a required callback was
629 called but not supplied.
630 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=76782
632 - clarify which callbacks are required for reading and writing TIFF
635 - improve logging for creation of callback I/O layers.
637 - a little more documentation for Imager::Probe.
639 - the i_get_file_background() and i_get_file_backgroundf() APIs now
640 return int to indicate whether the i_background tag was found.
643 - improve error reporting
644 - add png_interlace, png_bits tags
645 - read paletted images as paletted images, including transparency
646 - read 1 bit greyscale images as a type suitable for other file
647 handlers to write as bilevel
648 - read 16 bit/sample PNG as 16-bit/sample Imager images
649 - write "bilevel" paletted images as 1 bit grayscale images
650 - write paletted images as paletted images
651 - write 16-bit (or higher)/sample images as 16-bit/sample PNG
653 - improved metadata support
654 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29268
656 Imager 0.89 - 18 Mar 2012
661 - getpixel(..., type => "float") and the API i_gpixf() have been
662 broken on paletted images since they were implemented.
663 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75258
667 - links in the METHOD INDEX now point at the method documentation
668 rather than the heading you can find them under.
669 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71495
671 - Imager (and the bundled dynamic modules) no longer fallback to
672 using DynaLoader if loading via XSLoader fails.
673 For the bundled modules this could hide useful error messages.
674 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75560
676 - IM_DEBUG_MALLOC mymalloc() no longer sn?printfs() a string to a
677 buffer in the array of allocations, but just stores the filename
678 pointer and line number.
679 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70388
681 Imager 0.88 - 22 Feb 2012
684 - describe how to build libgif etc on OS X in such a way as to be
685 compatible with a fat binary perl (such as the system perl), in
687 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73371
689 - update the change notes for 0.77_01 to indicate that libungif
692 - add some other imaging modules to SEE ALSO
693 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73906
695 - note that the generator of the apparently non-DFSG-free postscript
696 in MMOne.pfb is a Debian package.
698 - setsamples() is now a true complement to getsamples() - it can
699 write 8-bit or floating point samples from a scalar or array
700 reference. This adds i_psamp() and i_psampf() to the C level API.
702 - the XS interfaces to i_gsamp(), i_gsampf() and i_gsamp_bits() have
703 changed to make better use of the typemap, but these aren't part of
704 the perl level API anyway. There were no changes to the C level
705 interfaces to these functions.
707 - getpixel() and setpixel() now accept a mix of scalar and array
708 references for the x and y parameters, and unequal array lengths is
710 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
714 - correctly calculate the size of a rotated image
715 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
717 - fix incorrect rounding of color values for matrix_transform() and
719 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
721 - Win32 text output is now done in normal combine mode, the alpha
722 component of the color is now significant.
723 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70014
725 - remove long unused gif case from read()
726 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69244 (partial)
728 - the getsamples() target parameter was being treated as a hashref
729 when it's meant to be an array reference.
730 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74882
732 - getpixel() and setpixel() now returns an empty list when invalid
733 parameters are supplied.
734 Invalid values for type now result in an error for getpixel().
735 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
737 Imager 0.87 - 03 Jan 2012
740 - document the return value of the filter() method.
741 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72369
743 - document i_gsamp_bits() and i_psamp_bits().
744 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68815
746 - properly increment the Imager::Matrix2d $VERSION.
748 - actually include the Imager::Test tests in the dist
750 - correctly read and write 256x256 pixel ICO files
751 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69599
753 - make the error message from read() or read_multi() when they can't
754 identify the file type match reality.
755 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72475
757 - read() now uses $FORMATGUESS if it can't determine the file type
758 based on the file header, to match read_multi().
760 - re-work and add tests for def_guess_type(). def_guess_type() no
761 longer returns any random file extension as the file type.
763 - add gray4, gray16 and gray as presets for make_colors.
764 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67911
766 - add make_palette() method that produces a palette from one or more
769 - fix the Imager dependency for the separately distributed font
771 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72643
773 - fix i_render_color() to properly draw in "normal" mode - ie. when
774 writing to a 1 or 3 channel image the second or fourth channel of
775 the source color was being ignored, it is now significant.
776 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71564
778 Imager 0.86 - 31 Oct 2011
781 - improve error reporting for W32 tests
783 Imager 0.85_02 - 24 Oct 2011
788 - eliminate unused i_gif_opts type (clean-up)
789 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69245
791 - fix combine=0 fill color anti-aliasing on the double/sample path
792 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71309
794 - make default text color non-transparent
795 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71469
797 - apply the last of the Debian unforwarded spelling fixes
798 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70656
800 - the log() method used its message parameter as a C level format
802 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71653
804 - provide our own STRLEN typemap entry for older perls.
805 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71641
807 - add extra ppport.h configuration to support older perls.
809 - depend on Scalar::Util, since we use it and older perls don't have
812 - add overloaded eq to Imager::Matrix2d, since older perls don't seem
813 to synthesize it from overloaded "".
815 - use T1_StrError() for error messages on modern libt1
816 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69879
818 - actually load the font rather than just adding it to the catalog on
821 - Imager::Font->new now produces better error messages for the T1
824 - the font has_chars() method now returns perl's true and false
825 values in list context rather than integers, which should be more
827 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69158
829 - the btm data structure used by the flood_fill code is now
830 initialized more efficiently.
831 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68994
833 - updated the Thanks list in README
834 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71607
836 - check there's at least one coefficient for the convolution filter
837 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68993
839 - make the APIRef synopsis ordering consistent, older versions of
840 perl could order it differently.
841 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71675
843 - we rely on Config.pm's d_vsnprintf as to whether we use
844 vsnprintf/snprintf, which is defined in the Win32 Config.pm even
845 though it only has _ prefixed versions of these. Define our own
846 prefixed names on Win32.
847 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71642
849 - fix library detection with MSVC
851 - search a few more library directories, so EU::MM doesn't discard
852 them. Hopefully fixes:
853 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71643
855 Imager 0.85_01 - 10 Oct 2011
858 - add simple tests for the Imager::Test test_image generators
860 - io_glue I/O buffering re-work:
862 - reorganize io_glue to do it's own buffering by default
864 - the unbuffered functions are available as i_io_raw_read() (or
865 raw_read() from perl) etc but are not recommended for typical
868 - use the new i_io_peekn() when checking for file magic to avoid
869 seek, allowing Imager to detect the file type and read the file
870 from an unseekable stream (for formats that don't use random
873 - added several new I/O layer API functions.
875 - fix the TGA performance problem, most noticably on Win32
876 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70037
878 - TIFF now uses wrapper functions of the correct types to avoid casts
879 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69912
881 - the callback IO object did its own buffering, controlled by the
882 maxbuffer parameter supplied to the read() and write() methods.
883 This buffering has been removed, to avoid redundancy with the
884 common io_glue buffering. This also avoids a bug in that code
885 which could rarely pass a zero length to the read callback and
886 then panic about the result.
888 - the callback IO object now tests the result of calling the close
889 callback, which should return true for success.
891 - the PNM reader did its own buffering. This buffering has been
892 removed to avoid redundancy with the common io_glue buffering.
894 - previously the read handlers for fd and callback I/O layers would
895 call the underlying interface (POSIX read or your supplied callback)
896 until it filled the buffer. It now only makes one call.
898 - added public constructors for I/O layer objects (see Imager::IO)
900 - all core file handlers now use the i_io_foo() wrappers to gain
901 access to buffered I/O rather than calling the I/O layer
904 - all core file handlers now check for error on close.
906 - Backward compatibility: if you hava custom file handlers, you can
907 use i_io_write() etc since they're available as macros in older
910 - eliminate the final remnants of io_glue_commit_types().
912 - bump IMAGER_API_VERSION, since the above may break assumptions.
914 - removed the long unused i_gen_reader() and i_gen_writer() utility
917 Imager 0.85 - 29 Aug 2011
920 The main changes in the release versus 0.84 are:
922 - on 64-bit systems, 64-bit types are consistently used for image
923 dimensions and co-ordinated, and for memory block sizes.
925 - handle IFD loops in TIFF files correctly. Previously this would
926 lead to an infinite loop.
930 - fix the link in the getheight() entry in the method index
932 Imager 0.84_02 - 22 Aug 2011
935 Development release, this will become 0.85 if CPAN testers is
940 - the image file limits set by set_file_limits() weren't being
941 checked when reading TIFF files.
942 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69915
944 - Provide more information about file format module load errors on a
945 failed image file read() or write().
946 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69194
948 - use TIFFReadDirectory() instead of TIFFSetDirectory() to iterate
949 through TIFF images, since it checks for IFD loops.
950 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69914
952 - don't leak memory when out of range palette indexes are supplied to
954 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69242
956 - require a later version of CPAN::Meta to ensure JSON::PP and
957 CPAN::Meta::YAML are available.
958 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69008
960 - hoist the per-line calculations for the flines implementations, and
961 modernize the tests a bit.
962 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70126
964 - detect snprintf()/vsnprintf() (cheat by using Config.pm) and use
966 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69147
968 - if t1lib failed to reinitialize it would be left as marked
970 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69877
972 - update the bundled (and still modified) Devel::CheckLib
973 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69170
975 Imager 0.84_01 - 8 Aug 2011
978 Development release as a sanity check for the types re-work.
980 Massive types re-work:
982 - the type used internally for pixel co-ordinates and image sizes is
983 now 64-bit on 64-bit platforms (at least sane ones).
985 - size_t is now used consistently for memory block sizes.
987 - since this changes the binary interface, the Imager API version has
988 been incremented. Any module that uses the API will need to be
989 rebuilt. In most cases that will be enough, but calls to any APIs
990 that take a pointer to image sizes may need source changes.
992 - you should be able to create very large images on 64-bit systems,
993 if you have enough memory. Successfully created a 32768 x 49192 x
994 3 channel image, filled with a tiled image and scaled it. The
995 unscaled image was also successfully saved to a JPEG.
997 - check the image size before attempting to write BMP, GIF, JPEG,
998 PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF images.
1000 - correctly handle reading TGA images over 32767 pixels wide or tall.
1004 - the gif_left and gif_top tags are now clamped to non-negative
1005 values when writing a GIF image.
1007 - removed dead callback read/write code
1009 The default maximum memory size when reading files is now 1G.
1011 Imager 0.84 - 20 Jun 2011
1014 - Imager no longer inherits from Exporter (unless you're running an
1017 - Imager can now write progressive JPEGs (it could always read them).
1018 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68691
1022 - re-work, document and test Imager's logging facility.
1023 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65227
1025 - fix META.yml testing and the generated META.yml
1026 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65235
1028 - test and add error reporting to to_*() family methods
1030 - add to_rgb_double() method.
1031 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65101
1033 - Imager no longer exports anything by default
1034 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65228
1036 - convert colors to grayscale if the supplied (or generated) palette
1037 contains only grays when performing error diffusion color
1039 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68508
1041 - writing a paletted image to GIF wouldn't always use the colors
1042 supplied (or generated, eg. via make_colors => "mono"), which was
1044 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67912
1046 - replace (imager|tony)@imager.perl.org in the doc, since I don't
1047 plan to continue receiving mail at that address.
1048 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68591
1050 Imager 0.83 - 21 May 2011
1055 - diag() the error message on failure for some TIFF tests that are
1056 failing on a Solaris smoker.
1057 http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/6396db1e-8090-11e0-9682-112b785ebe45
1059 Imager 0.82_01 - 17 May 2011
1062 Dev release, in case the compose tests are too sensitive.
1066 - Imager::Font::T1 incorrectly checked for absolute filename under
1067 Win32. Thanks to kmx for the report and fix.
1068 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67963
1070 - compose() with the target, source or mask position off the top or
1071 left of the target image didn't clip the source image correctly.
1072 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67220
1074 - compose() now returns a useful error message on a non-positive
1077 - compose.im now at 100% test coverage. (As opposed to, umm, much,
1080 Imager 0.82 - 14 Mar 2011
1085 - eliminate calls to i_has_format() from the test suite, since it's
1086 no longer a useful way to check for file format support. Eliminate
1087 i_has_format() from the functions exposed via XS.
1088 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65863
1090 - eliminate calls to note(), which isn't in the (very old) version of
1091 Test::More we have as a pre-requisite. note() is modern enough
1092 that I don't feel a need to require a Test::More upgrade for it.
1093 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65864
1095 - skip the threads tests on Test::More 2.00_*
1096 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65812
1098 - add an (unshipped) test to check Imager's internal POD links
1099 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65749
1101 - improve the library detection summary
1102 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9675
1104 - increase the version of Imager::Font::Type1 so that upgrades don't
1105 downgrade the version in this file.
1106 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66250
1108 - if we see an -rpath (or -R) option in $Config{lddlflags} supply
1109 that option for the directories that would normally go in
1110 LD_RUN_PATH. Typically an explicit -rpath overrides LD_RUN_PATH.
1111 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65955
1113 Imager 0.81 - 14 Feb 2011
1116 - added coverage tests for masked images (maskimg.c @100% test coverage)
1118 - add hsv() method to Imager::Color
1119 Thanks to Leolo (Philip Gwyn)
1120 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65385
1122 - split libt1 Type 1 font support into a sub-module
1123 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
1125 - add a preload() class method for use in forking servers, and to
1126 work around limitations in PAR.
1127 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65665
1131 - paletted writes to a masked image are now masked correctly.
1132 Revealed by new coverage tests.
1134 - update the filter plugin documentation.
1135 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=56513
1137 - add the matrix() method to Imager::Matrix2d to allow creation of a
1138 matrix with specified co-efficients. You can now multiple an
1139 Imager::Matrix2d object by a 9 element array ref or a number.
1140 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29938
1142 - really fix loading TTF fonts with FT2 when FT1 isn't available.
1143 Thanks to Leolo (Philip Gwyn)
1144 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65386
1145 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=62855
1147 - make sure each test script that needs testout/ creates it.
1148 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65088
1150 - handle a slightly different warning from libtiff 4.x
1151 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65268
1153 - the sat transform2() op returned an incorrect saturation.
1154 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65391
1156 Imager 0.80 - 17 Jan 2011
1159 - added coverage tests for Imager::Fountain and Imager::Color::Float
1161 - Imager is now maintained in git
1162 http://git.imager.perl.org/imager.git
1163 git://git.imager.perl.org/imager.git
1167 - images with an translucent alpha channel were not scaled correctly
1168 by the default (qtype=normal) scaling method.
1169 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63922
1171 - Imager::Color::Float now translates "#FFFFFF" to white instead of
1172 just a little darker.
1174 - make the default color map build algorithm "mediancut". This
1175 changes the default color map builder for writing GIFs back to what
1176 it was in 0.77, reverting a performance regression.
1177 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=64785
1179 - handle failure to create a masked image correctly
1181 Imager 0.79 - 10 Dec 2010
1184 - add Imager::Test to the POD coverage tests and document the missing
1187 - the convert() method now optimizes the case where all output
1188 channels are either 0, sourced from a single input channel or 1.
1189 This significantly speeds up presets like "addalpha", "green".
1190 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51254
1192 - add wiggle.pl sample, as suggested by Dan Oppenheim.
1194 - add the combine() method to combine channels from multiple source
1195 images into a new image
1196 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11872
1200 - treat the co-efficients for convert() as doubles instead of floats.
1202 - If a higher (earlier) priority font handler failed to load, that
1203 would crash preventing loading of later font handlers.
1204 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=62855
1206 - parse defines from the options returned by pkg-config --cflags
1207 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63223
1209 - a regen of the MANIFEST revealed that GIF and FT2 tests weren't
1210 included in the tarball. They are now included.
1212 Imager 0.78 - 4 Oct 2010
1217 - don't access deprecated members of the png_structp.
1218 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60242
1220 - document that using color objects is faster than supplying colors
1222 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=61047
1224 - Imager::Probe now accepts array references for incpath and libpath.
1225 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60244
1227 Imager 0.77_02 - 27 Sep 2010
1230 - moved Win32, FreeType 2 font support into sub-modules.
1231 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
1232 Uses Imager::Probe now.
1233 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=61328
1235 - tested successfully with jpeg-8b
1236 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60221
1240 - from _01: look for missing file support test files in the right
1243 - flood_fill() wouldn't fill the right side of a single scan-line
1245 Thanks to Nicolas Roggli for reporting this.
1247 - flood_fill wouldn't fill to the left edge of the image if the
1248 starting line didn't reach the left edge.
1249 Thanks to Nicolas Roggli for reporting this.
1251 Imager 0.77_01 - 13 Sep 2010
1254 - add each library-directory/pkgconfig/ to the pkg-config search path
1256 Thanks to Justin Davis.
1257 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60491
1259 - moved GIF, TIFF, JPEG file handling code into sub-modules in
1260 preparation for separate distribution.
1261 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
1263 Note: this removed support for libungif from Imager.
1265 - optimize filled box drawing (color, not fill)
1269 - Imager::Probe was calling ExtUtils::Liblist to initialize
1270 LD_RUN_PATH supplying an undefined value rather than the found
1271 directory. Thanks to Justin Davis.
1272 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60491
1274 - only prepend ./ to font filenames when passing them to T1Lib and
1275 then only when it would use its search mechanisms.
1276 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60509
1278 - fix the cache check for the X rgb.txt loader. This is typically
1279 used for color translation on Unix-like systems, and the fix
1280 improves performance of supplying colors by name by about 80 times.
1281 Test code that managed 3400 10x10 pixel boxes/second sped up to
1284 - clarify that Imager doesn't write EXIF metadata to images.
1285 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60637
1287 - Imager::Probe can now search subdirectories under its include path.
1288 Used by the PNG Makefile.PL to find headers and libraries when they
1289 aren't in the base directory, as in cygwin.
1290 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60635
1292 Imager 0.77 - 11 Aug 2010
1295 I don't want Imager::File::PNG indexed as part of Imager, but forgot
1296 to update the META.yml before updating the version.
1298 - don't index Imager::File::PNG as part of Imager
1300 - add resources to META.yml
1302 Imager 0.76 - not released
1307 - the align_string() method would ignore a string of "0" due to a
1308 mis-use of C< ||= >.
1309 Thanks to Maurice Height for reporting this.
1310 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60199
1312 Imager 0.75_03 - 09 Aug 2010
1317 - read_types() and write_types() would include png when it wasn't
1318 available due to a problem with the %formats tie
1320 - handle dependent libraries correctly (eg -lpng requiring -lz) in
1321 the code run phase of library probing.
1323 Imager 0.75_02 - 07 Aug 2010
1328 - add file missing from MANIFEST, which was causing TIFF failures.
1330 Imager 0.75_01 - 06 Aug 2010
1333 Test release for the new PNG probe.
1335 - added the ability to read multiple-image PNM files.
1336 Note that unlike the pbm/pgm/ppm specification this accepts mixed
1337 format files and allows white space padding between files.
1338 Thanks to Philip Gwyn (Leolo) for this patch.
1340 - moved the PNG file handling code into a sub-module in preparation
1341 for separate distribution.
1342 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
1343 Also helps avoid complications from -I/-L compile/link options from
1348 - Imager->new(data => $data) didn't try to process image file data in
1350 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=58761
1352 - t/t50basicoo.t no longer depends on the other tests to generate its
1354 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9798
1355 Also, it wasn't testing pnm (pnm vs ppm mix-up)
1357 - update the documentation of hardinvert to match the change in 0.62.
1358 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=59785
1360 - added hardinvertall filter which also inverts the alpha channel
1361 (sorry for the mess)
1363 - when probing for TIFF, set LD_RUN_PATH just as the Makefile does so
1364 the probe can find the library for the test run.
1365 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=57518
1367 Imager 0.75 - 20 Jun 2010
1370 - use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to slightly improve performance on threaded
1371 perls (not measured)
1375 - an opacity fill based on a fountain fill would segfault when
1376 filling an 8-bit/sample image.
1378 - merge thickline branch polygon fix
1379 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43518
1381 Imager 0.74 - 7 May 2010
1386 - read_multi() didn't handle a missing file format library correctly,
1387 aborting on failing to call i_readgif_multi_wiol() or
1388 i_readtiff_multi_wiol().
1390 - fix spelling errors patched by Debian
1391 http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libimager-perl/debian/patches/spelling.patch?revision=54839&view=markup
1393 - add an (unshipped) author test to spellcheck Imager's POD.
1395 - update the TIFF file format documentation
1396 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=56510
1398 - lib/Imager/IO.pod was written almost 4 years ago but never shipped.
1400 Imager 0.73 - 15 Mar 2010
1403 - implement outline circles, both anti-aliased and not
1404 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19755
1406 - a combine => "none" fill to a 1 or 3 channel image would produce
1407 the incorrect colour.
1409 Imager 0.72 - 09 Dec 2009
1412 Bump version for release, since 0.71_03 is stable with CPAN testers.
1414 Imager 0.71_03 - 5 Dec 2009
1417 - further adjust the threads test so it only performs the tests on
1418 perls where it's expected to work, and only if the threads module
1421 Imager 0.71_02 - 1 Dec 2009
1424 - adjust the way we load the threads module for the threads test so
1425 it works with non-threaded perls
1427 Imager 0.71_01 - 30 Nov 2009
1432 - use scanline oriented operations to flip images instead of pixel
1434 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39278
1436 - use double/sample operations to flip large sample images instead of
1437 8-bit sample operations.
1438 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39280
1441 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51874
1443 - prevent double-frees when someone creates Imager objects and then
1444 creates a thread. Note: this just handles some simple cases,
1445 Imager doesn't support perl threads, and isn't likely to.
1446 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52268
1448 Imager 0.71 - 16 Nov 2009
1451 - add the opacity fill type - an adaptor that modifies the opacity of
1456 - the conv filter now enforces that the sum of the coefficients is
1457 non-zero. Also, rather than skipping pixels off the edge off the
1458 edge of the image, the closest edge pixel is used. Previously
1459 dividing by the zero sum of coefficients could cause invalid
1460 results or runtime exceptions.
1461 Thanks to David Cantrell's Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box for revealing
1464 Imager 0.70 - 21 Sep 2009
1469 - release image row and comments memory on all error returns in gif
1472 - handle zero length extensions, previously this would cause a null
1474 Thanks to Krzysztof Wojtaś for the test data and fix for this.
1476 - an integer division meant that preview scaling to below 1 pixel
1477 wide or high (which isn't too useful anyway) was calculating using
1478 NaNs on most platforms, and causing an exception on others.
1479 Thanks to David Cantrell for producing a backtrace of the crash on
1480 his Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box which made it possible to track this
1483 Imager 0.69 - 08 Sep 2009
1488 - broken test fix - was attempting to call a function skip_all, when
1489 that should be a parameter to plan().
1491 - briefly document apidocs.perl, the tool used to build
1492 Imager::APIRef and make some minor enhancements
1494 - various minor documentation enhancements and fixes.
1496 Imager 0.68 - 07 Sep 2009
1499 - Imager->new(file => $filename) and other similar incantations will
1500 load the given file.
1501 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48261
1505 - avoid using CHECK as a label in Imager::Test
1506 http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5220921
1508 - re-work most image file test files that require a library into
1509 separate library present/not present files to remove stupidly long
1512 - don't treat rubthrough() outside the bounds of the target image as
1514 http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5185716
1516 Imager 0.67_01 - 02 Sep 2009
1521 - correct documentation of default of raw image interleave read
1523 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42074
1525 - add raw_ prefix to raw read parameters, though the original names
1528 - fail the read if an invalid raw_interleave parameter is supplied
1530 - warn if no interleave or raw_interleave parameter is supplied,
1531 since the documented default was wrong, and incompatible with the
1534 - for reading raw images, if raw_storechannels > raw_datachannels,
1535 set the extra channels in the image to 0
1537 - when probing for executables like freetype-config, search for .bat
1538 and .cmd on MSWin32, as well as .exe.
1539 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49275
1541 - re-work the external libraries section of README:
1542 - list Debian and Redhat package names for each library
1546 - use the new EU::MM META_MERGE facility instead of generating
1547 META.yml from scratch
1548 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47888
1550 - use Devel::CheckLib (bundled, modified) to check which release of
1551 libtiff is installed and reject 3.9.0
1552 http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2088
1553 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543079
1555 Imager 0.67 - 12 Dec 2008
1560 - fix a packaging error
1562 Imager 0.66 - 12 Dec 2008
1565 - 24-bit color .ICO/.CUR files can now be read.
1569 - an optimization skipping 0 src alpha values could cause the
1570 rubthrough() to read past the end of a buffer.
1571 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/05/msg1509184.html
1573 - corrected a reference leak where writing GIFs would leak memory.
1574 This could also happen calling to_paletted().
1575 Also documented the underlying long existing feature where the
1576 colors parameter is filled with the generated color table and added
1578 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41028
1580 - write out the image size in bytes field of a BMP correctly.
1581 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41406
1583 - add limited tests for Imager::ExtUtils
1585 - make Imager::ExtUtils->includes use an absolute path, since
1586 a relative path could cause failures using Inline::C.
1587 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37353
1589 - re-arrange the POD for Imager::Font::BBox:
1590 - mark total_width(), pos_width(), end_offset() obsolete, since
1591 they're mostly for backwards compatibility
1592 - group width methods and height methods
1593 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39999
1595 Imager 0.65 - 20 May 2008
1600 - In some cases when an error occurs reading those parts of a JPEG
1601 file after the image the scan-line buffer could be freed a second
1602 time. In cases where the the error occured while reading the image
1603 data it's possible that the buffer could have leaked.
1604 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this and help in tracking
1607 - the gif_screen_height tag was overriding the screen width and being
1608 ignored for the screen height when present.
1609 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=35568
1611 Imager 0.64 - 23 April 2008
1614 This is a bug fix release. This includes a fix for a possible
1619 - Possible security issue: The floating point sample path for image
1620 based fills had a buffer overflow. This would overwrite the end of
1621 a malloc()ed buffer with double precision floats.
1622 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35324
1625 - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
1626 true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
1627 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
1629 - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
1630 resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
1631 too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
1632 not a buffer overflow.
1633 Added a check for the failure.
1634 scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
1635 scale size parameters are a reference.
1636 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35172
1638 - Regression: filling a greyscale image with a hatch used the wrong
1639 color channels from the supplied fg/bg colors.
1640 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35278
1642 - fixed a related problem for image fills.
1644 Imager 0.63 - 7 April 2008
1647 This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
1648 rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
1649 channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
1650 and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
1653 - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.
1654 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28825
1656 - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
1658 - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
1659 destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
1660 images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
1661 noalpha channels or back.
1662 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
1664 - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
1665 an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
1666 max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
1667 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
1669 - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
1670 functions when filling.
1671 Corrected normal combine mode.
1672 Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
1673 defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
1674 Added tests for translucent source and destination.
1675 Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
1677 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29879
1679 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a JPEG file will now write that
1680 image as if composited against a background, black by default,
1681 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
1682 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29876
1684 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a PGM/PPM file will now write
1685 that image as if composited against a background, black by default,
1686 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
1687 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30074
1689 - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a BMP file will now write that
1690 image as if composited against a background, black by default,
1691 overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
1692 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30075
1696 - Imager::Matrix2d->translate() now only requires one of the x or y
1698 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29937
1700 - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
1701 the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
1702 compressible output files.
1703 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32324
1705 - removed the pointless #! line from lib/Imager/Font/Wrap.pm
1707 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166254
1708 I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
1709 code, not intended for installation.
1710 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33408
1712 - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
1713 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
1715 - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
1716 changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
1717 being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
1718 problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
1719 tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
1720 I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
1722 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32926
1724 Imager 0.62 - 10 December 2007
1727 - Makefile.PL now expands ~/path supplied to --incpath or --libpath
1728 to /path under your home directory.
1729 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29484
1731 - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
1732 libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
1733 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
1734 So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
1735 will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.
1737 - added the det() function to the transform2() engine.
1738 added the sample quad_to_square.pl
1739 Courtesy Richard Fairhurst.
1740 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=31244
1744 - samples/gifscale.pl sourced the base value for gif_top from
1746 Thanks to Eleneldil G. Arilou for pointing this out.
1748 - t/t82inline.t no longer loads B at runtime, to work around a bug
1749 in some 5.005_0[45] installations.
1750 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30508
1752 - work around Module::Depends::Intrusive bug #21229
1753 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30520
1755 - the hardinvert filter no-longer inverts the alpha channel.
1756 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30002
1758 - the hardinvert filter now supports large samples
1760 Imager 0.61_02 - 28 November 2007
1763 - major TIFF support re-work
1764 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20329
1766 - added a C level image interface for accessing samples from 1-32
1767 bits, exposed this at the perl level in getsamples()
1769 - the conv filter now works at floating point precision for high bit
1772 - added is_bilevel method to test whether an image should be written as
1773 a bilevel image if the image format supports it.
1775 - added -log-stderr as an Imager import list option
1777 - added some important types to Imager::APIRef
1779 - added test_image_double() to Imager::Test
1783 - Imager::Fountain couldn't read GIMP gradient files with 10 or more
1786 - the scale() method with qtype mixing now handles images with an
1787 alpha channel correctly.
1789 - fixed a broken link from the "animated GIF" entry in the concept index.
1790 Thanks to Slaven Rezic.
1791 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30889
1793 - on some perl's the infix expression parser test would fail due to
1794 actions in the grammar returning false. Made sure all actions return
1796 Thanks to Richard Fairhurst for spending a lot of time in tracking
1798 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29562
1800 Imager 0.61 - 5 November 2007
1803 - added samples/gifscale.pl, which adjusts the screen size/position tags
1804 when scaling an animated gif
1805 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27591
1809 - correct handling of sz in matrix_transform() - this should allow
1810 perspective type transformations to work now.
1811 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29936
1813 - prevent a cast to integer warning on x64 builds in datatypes.c
1814 also fixed some other type warnings
1815 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30204
1817 - some sub-directory tests depended on files produced by the parent
1819 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30203
1821 - Imager::Font::Wrap doesn't correctly set savepos
1822 thanks to Nikita Dedik and Eleneldil G. Arilou for reporting this.
1823 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29771
1825 - test 171 in t/t01introvert.t was failing on perls configured to
1827 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29413
1829 - the code for the transform2() uminus operator was missing a break.
1830 Added tests for better code coverage of the ops.
1831 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29296
1833 - the SGI RLE compression code could overflow its compression buffer
1834 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30334
1836 - the 32-bit output function used by the SGI code only handled values
1837 under 0x10000. This was most noticable when writing large RLE images.
1838 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30335
1840 - validate chan_count for chans == NULL for each of the i_gsamp()
1842 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28985
1844 - attempt to work around the test failure at
1845 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/09/msg650810.html
1846 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29562
1848 - improve the error messages produced when attempting to read or write
1849 an unknown image file format.
1850 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30103
1852 - improve the transform2() documentation
1853 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29267
1855 - correctly generate the author key in META.yml
1856 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30377
1858 - correctly blend a rotated (or matrix_transformed()) image when
1859 performing interpolation in the presence of an alpha channel.
1860 Also corrected the centring of the rotated image on the output
1863 Imager 0.60 - 30 August 2007
1866 - Finished/rewrote Arnar's old SGI RGB file format support, so Imager
1867 now has full SGI RGB image format, including RLE and 16-bit/sample
1869 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8666
1871 - logging functions are now available in the API
1873 - applied Gabriel Vasseur's patch
1874 added documentation, further tests, and support for greyscale images
1875 Obviously problems are my fault :)

1878 - the mask for ICO/CUR images is now applied as an alpha channel to
1879 the returned image. For the old behaviour, supply ico_masked => 0
1880 to read() or read_multi(). This should be less confusing when
1881 using Imager as a general image processor.
1882 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29001
1886 - in some cases it's possible for giflib/libungif to return color
1887 indexes outside the range of colors defined by the image's palette.
1888 We now expand the palette to match the indexes used.
1889 Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this.
1891 - fixed various memory leaks that could occur when failing to read png,
1892 jpeg, bmp or tga files.
1894 - to avoid confusion, channels not present in the image are returned as
1895 zero by getscanline(). This has no effect on the C level i_glin()
1896 and i_glinf() API functions which continue to not set the unused
1899 - the convert() method now returns an image of the same sample size as
1901 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28492
1903 - remove repeated text in Imager::Files
1904 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27589
1906 - be even more explicit that scale() and friends don't modify the source
1907 image, but return a new image.
1908 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28570
1910 - improve the error message from errstr() when you try to load a font
1911 for which the driver hasn't been built in Imager.
1912 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27571
1914 - transparency is now enabled by default when writing GIF images
1915 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27615
1917 - Imager would not load on Windows 98
1918 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27653
1920 Imager 0.59 - 14 June 2007
1925 - fixes a regression introduced by the fixes for RT 11972
1926 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27546
1928 - cropping outside the image would return an Imager object with
1929 no low-level image object, instead of returning false.
1930 Fixed by: Philip Gwyn (Leolo)
1931 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27509
1933 Imager 0.58 - 16 May 2007
1936 No significant changes from 0.57_01.
1938 Imager 0.57_01 - 11 May 2007
1941 - added to_rgb16 to produce a 16-bit/sample version of an image
1943 - improve freetype 1.x text output efficiency
1947 - search another place for rgb.txt, and check all the places
1948 Imager::Color checks when deciding whether to skip testing it
1949 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26064
1951 - use a convolution kernel size based on the stddev rather than a
1952 fixed size when performing a gaussian blur
1953 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25645
1955 - document the difference() method's mindist parameter, and debug it.
1957 - put the Imager release number in the Inline::C generated code to
1958 regenerate Inline code when a new release of Imager is installed.
1959 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26278
1961 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 1.x driver.
1962 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
1964 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the T1lib driver.
1965 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
1967 - reworked library probing, we can now set more than one probe
1968 function for a library. Disabled the default (non-freetype-config)
1969 library probe and added an extra probe function that searches for
1970 both ft2build.h and whatever it includes, and adds -I as needed.
1971 Hopefully this will fix build problems like

1975 Imager 0.57 - 30 Apr 2007
1978 This is a maintenence release fixing a security issue in Imager.
1980 - CRITICAL: a specially crafted compressed BMP file can cause a buffer
1981 overflow in malloced memory. There will be further discussion of
1982 this issue in the ticket below.
1983 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26811
1984 CVE-2007-2459 CVE-2007-2413
1985 The descriptions at cve.mitre.org varied in quality, please see the
1986 ticket at rt.cpan.org for a more accurate description of the issue.
1988 Imager 0.56 - 1 Apr 2007
1991 - added support for reading 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
1993 - added support for writing 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
1995 - improved performance of reading PBM/PGM/PPM images
1997 - added support for writing PBM images if the image is paletted and
1998 contains only black and white
2000 - added a new make_colors value - "mono"
2002 - switched from the svn log Changes to a manual Changes to reduce
2005 - new sample code - samples/flasher.pl
2009 - CRITICAL: the "Imager" typemap entry (not used by Imager itself)
2010 was returning an image object with an extra reference, this
2011 resulted in a memory leak.
2012 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24992
2014 - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 2.x driver
2015 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
2017 - reading bmp files now consitently handles short reads. You can now
2018 supply a parameter to treat a short read as successful and set
2020 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8426
2022 - previously, reading ASCII PBM files required spaces between samples,
2023 even though the format doesn't require that
2025 - improved documentation of the unsharpmask filter (I hope)
2026 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25531
2028 - force flushing of the output from i_tt_dump_names() and test output
2029 in t/t35ttfont.t to prevent output from being mixed up.
2030 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24859
2032 - rewrite a conditional expression as an if() to hopefully work around
2033 a bug in the pre-4.0 GCC Apple shipped with OS X 10.4.
2034 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25561
2036 - avoid Data::Dumper in regops.perl to support older releases of perl
2037 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24391
2039 Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
2042 This is primarily a bug fix release.
2044 Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
2046 There is one new feature:
2048 - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
2049 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
2050 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
2052 Several bugs were fixed:
2054 - the string() method would not output the string "0"
2055 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
2057 - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
2058 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
2060 - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
2062 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
2064 - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
2065 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
2067 - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
2068 terminated by NUL (chr 0)
2069 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
2071 - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
2072 that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
2073 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
2075 - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
2078 Win32 font driver fixes:
2080 - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
2081 http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
2083 - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
2084 advance width they would be clipped
2087 Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
2090 This is primarily a feature release:
2092 - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
2093 method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
2094 is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
2095 blurry results than normal.
2096 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
2098 - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
2100 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
2102 - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
2103 image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
2104 back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
2105 you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
2106 without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
2107 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
2108 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
2110 - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
2111 libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
2113 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
2115 - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
2116 based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
2118 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
2120 - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
2121 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
2123 - minor documentation fixes
2126 Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
2129 This is a bugfix release.
2131 Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
2132 suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
2134 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
2137 Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
2140 This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
2141 fixes, new features:
2143 - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
2145 - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
2147 - add POD coverage tests
2149 - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
2150 instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
2151 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
2153 - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
2154 just to the area the same color as the seed.
2155 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
2160 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
2161 calculating the advance width.
2162 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
2164 - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
2165 trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
2166 produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
2169 - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
2170 image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
2171 due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
2172 inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
2173 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
2175 - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
2176 image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
2178 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
2180 - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
2181 we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
2183 And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
2186 Imager 0.51 - 23 Apr 2006
2189 - fix a validation bug when processing JPEG EXIF data that can cause
2191 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496
2193 - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the
2195 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712
2197 - fix a problem in Imager's "smart" handling of the color parameter
2199 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18561
2202 Imager 0.50 - 29 Mar 2006
2205 - CRITICAL: fixes a segmentation fault from attempting to write a 2
2206 or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
2207 output is an in-memeory buffer.
2208 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397
2210 - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code
2211 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18051
2213 - skip Inline::C tests when building in a directory with spaces
2214 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18049
