===========
+ - major TIFF support re-work
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20329

+ images
+
+ - added is_bilevel method to test whether an image should be written as
+ a bilevel image if the image format supports it.
+

+
+ - added some important types to Imager::APIRef
+
+ - added test_image_double() to Imager::Test
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Fountain couldn't read GIMP gradient files with 10 or more
+ segments
+

+
+Imager 0.61 - 5 November 2007
+===========
+
+ - added samples/gifscale.pl, which adjusts the screen size/position tags
+ when scaling an animated gif
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27591
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - correct handling of sz in matrix_transform() - this should allow
+ perspective type transformations to work now.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29936
+
+ - prevent a cast to integer warning on x64 builds in datatypes.c
+ also fixed some other type warnings
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30204
+
+ - some sub-directory tests depended on files produced by the parent
+ directory tests
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30203
+
+ - Imager::Font::Wrap doesn't correctly set savepos
+ thanks to Nikita Dedik and Eleneldil G. Arilou for reporting this.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29771
+
+ - test 171 in t/t01introvert.t was failing on perls configured to
+ use long double.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29413
+
+ - the code for the transform2() uminus operator was missing a break.
+ Added tests for better code coverage of the ops.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29296
+
+ - the SGI RLE compression code could overflow its compression buffer
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30334
+
+ - the 32-bit output function used by the SGI code only handled values
+ under 0x10000. This was most noticable when writing large RLE images.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30335
+
+ - validate chan_count for chans == NULL for each of the i_gsamp()
+ implementations.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28985
+
+ - attempt to work around the test failure at
+ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/09/msg650810.html
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29562
+
+ - improve the error messages produced when attempting to read or write
+ an unknown image file format.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30103
+
+ - improve the transform2() documentation
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29267
+
+ - correctly generate the author key in META.yml
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30377
+
+ - correctly blend a rotated (or matrix_transformed()) image when
+ performing interpolation in the presence of an alpha channel.
+ Also corrected the centring of the rotated image on the output
+ image.
+
+Imager 0.60 - 30 August 2007
+===========
+
+ - Finished/rewrote Arnar's old SGI RGB file format support, so Imager
+ now has full SGI RGB image format, including RLE and 16-bit/sample
+ images.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8666
+
+ - logging functions are now available in the API
+
+ - applied Gabriel Vasseur's patch
+ added documentation, further tests, and support for greyscale images
+ Obviously problems are my fault :)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28142
+
+ - the mask for ICO/CUR images is now applied as an alpha channel to
+ the returned image. For the old behaviour, supply ico_masked => 0
+ to read() or read_multi(). This should be less confusing when
+ using Imager as a general image processor.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29001
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - in some cases it's possible for giflib/libungif to return color
+ indexes outside the range of colors defined by the image's palette.
+ We now expand the palette to match the indexes used.
+ Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this.
+
+ - fixed various memory leaks that could occur when failing to read png,
+ jpeg, bmp or tga files.
+
+ - to avoid confusion, channels not present in the image are returned as
+ zero by getscanline(). This has no effect on the C level i_glin()
+ and i_glinf() API functions which continue to not set the unused
+ channels.
+
+ - the convert() method now returns an image of the same sample size as
+ the source image.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28492
+
+ - remove repeated text in Imager::Files
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27589
+
+ - be even more explicit that scale() and friends don't modify the source
+ image, but return a new image.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28570
+
+ - improve the error message from errstr() when you try to load a font
+ for which the driver hasn't been built in Imager.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27571
+
+ - transparency is now enabled by default when writing GIF images
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27615
+
+ - Imager would not load on Windows 98
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27653
+
+Imager 0.59 - 14 June 2007
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - fixes a regression introduced by the fixes for RT 11972
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27546
+
+ - cropping outside the image would return an Imager object with
+ no low-level image object, instead of returning false.
+ Fixed by: Philip Gwyn (Leolo)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27509
+
+Imager 0.58 - 16 May 2007
+===========
+
+No significant changes from 0.57_01.
+
+Imager 0.57_01 - 11 May 2007
+==============
+
+ - added to_rgb16 to produce a 16-bit/sample version of an image
+
+ - improve freetype 1.x text output efficiency
+
Bug fixes:
- search another place for rgb.txt, and check all the places
- document the difference() method's mindist parameter, and debug it.
- - put the Imager releaser number in the Inline::C generated code to
+ - put the Imager release number in the Inline::C generated code to
regenerate Inline code when a new release of Imager is installed.
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26278
+ - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 1.x driver.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
+
+ - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the T1lib driver.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
+
+ - reworked library probing, we can now set more than one probe
+ function for a library. Disabled the default (non-freetype-config)
+ library probe and added an extra probe function that searches for
+ both ft2build.h and whatever it includes, and adds -I as needed.
+ Hopefully this will fix build problems like
+ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/05/msg472281.html
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26086
+
+Imager 0.57 - 30 Apr 2007
+===========
+
+This is a maintenence release fixing a security issue in Imager.
+
+ - CRITICAL: a specially crafted compressed BMP file can cause a buffer
+ overflow in malloced memory. There will be further discussion of
+ this issue in the ticket below.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26811
+ CVE-2007-2459 CVE-2007-2413
+ The descriptions at cve.mitre.org varied in quality, please see the
+ ticket at rt.cpan.org for a more accurate description of the issue.
