Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.96_01 - 1 Jun 2013
+Imager 1.002 - 3 Apr 2015
+============
+
+ - drawing anti-aliased filled circles is now 10 to 50 times faster
+ depending on the size of the circle.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101682
+
+ - enhancements to polygon filling:
+
+ - added a mode parameter to control how overlapping regions behave
+
+ - added a polypolygon() method to fill more than one polygon at a
+ time
+
+ - polygon filling is now exposed through the API.
+
+ - added colormodel(), alphachannel() and colorchannels() methods.
+ These were added for two reasons:
+
+ - a future version of Imager may allow the number of channels in
+ an image to not directly represent the color model of an image.
+ eg. a greyscale TIFF image with multiple alpha channels.
+
+ - a future version of Imager may allow an image to be read without
+ translation, for example a TIFF file that contains measurements
+ from an instrument. Currently Image transforms the samples into
+ the range 0.0 ... 1.0 which may means the user has to translates
+ the value back.
+
+ An untranslated image would be unusable as image data, so
+ colormodel() would return "unknown" in this case.
+
+ Similarly a CMYK image might be returned as an "unknown" color
+ model image, if the caller chooses to disable translation to
+ RGB.
+
+Imager 1.001 - 2 Jan 2015
+============
+
+ - both Imager and perl 5.21.3 define my_strerror(), prevent a conflict
+ Thanks to Slaven Rezic for the report and the patch.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98234
+
+ - GIF: clean-up a test file if the test for the giflib 4.2.0 file
+ version bug fails.
+
+ - fix Imager::Matrix2d::rotate()'s centre point handling
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99959
+
+ - ICO: don't apply the icon mask to images with an alpha channel by
+ default
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99507
+
+ - make verbose probing output more verbose
+
+ - use Imager::Probe to probe for freetype 1.x
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=100502
+
+ - The --enable and --disable parameters to the top-level Makefile.PL
+ work again.
+
+ - update the bundled/modified Devel::CheckLib to handle the gcc-4
+ symlink on Cygwin
+
+Imager 1.000 - 28 Jul 2014
+============
+
+There's nothing special about Imager 1.000, it's just another release.
+
+ - fix the skip check for the iolayer qr// buffer test
+
+ - improve error reporting for the iolayer test failing on a small
+ number of Win32 CPAN testers
+
+Imager 0.99_02 - 21 Jul 2014
+==============
+
+ - Imager::Filter::Mandelbrot (and dynfilt/mandelbrot.c) - initialize
+ the blue channel in the generated palette, and allow each color
+ component to be in the range 100..255 instead of just 100..254.
+ Thanks to Ralf Neubauer.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97086
+
+ - revert "improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()"
+ This caused problems with older perls and didn't provide much of a
+ performance improvement.
+
+ - support Inline 0.57 and later.
+ Inline 0.57 changed the "with" interface.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97108
+
+ - don't define our own MAXINT macro, it conflicts with windows header
+ files and in a few places it was the wrong value to use anyway.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96425
+
+Imager 0.99_01 - 29 Jun 2014
+==============
+
+ - GIF: add support for giflib 5.1.0, which added error code pointer
+ parameters to EGifCloseFile() and DGifCloseFile().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96756
+
+ - GIF: avoid a double-free when do_write() fails.
+
+ - fix SV type probing to work on perl before 5.12. Broken in 0.99.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96761
+
+ - PNG: skip the benign error test before libpng 1.6.0, since the
+ error we're testing didn't exist before 1.6.0.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717 (continued)
+
+Imager 0.99 - 25 Jun 2014
+===========
+
+ - Imager::IO->new_buffer() (and hence Imager->read()'s data
+ parameter) now accepts a reference to a scalar as well as just a
+ plain scalar.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
+
+ - Imager::IO->new_buffer() now always makes a copy of the passed in
+ buffer to avoid problems with temporary objects used for the return
+ value of SvPVbyte().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
+
+ - improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92738
+
+ - load plugins from absolute paths on Android
+ Thanks to Brian Fraser.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=93272
+
+ - added the jpeg_optimize parameter for writing JPEG files. This can
+ significantly reduce file sizes, but uses more memory and time.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94292
+
+ - the autolevels filter now works on the luminosity of the image
+ rather then working per channel. The old autolevels filter is
+ still available as "autolevels_skew".
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94413
+
+ - Imager::File::PNG now supports libpng 1.6.10.
+ 1.6.10 changed CRC errors from benign errors to normal errors,
+ which broke the test which used CRC errors to check for benign
+ error support. Switched to using a 1-bit grey-scale image with a
+ palette to test for benign errors.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717
+
+Imager 0.98 - 3 Jan 2014
+===========
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+ - the return value of setpixel() has changed.
+
+ Previously the return values for undrawable pixels vs caller errors
+ changed depending on whether you used the multiple pixel calling
+ mechanism, or the single pixel mechanism.
+
+ Now:
+
+ - for an invalid parameter, such as an unknown colour, or missing
+ parameter, an empty list (or undef in scalar context) is
+ returned, and errstr() is set,
+
+ - otherwise the number of pixels drawn is returned. If none of
+ the pixels could be drawn (they were all outside the image), "0
+ but true" is returned.
+
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87650
+
+Other changes:
+
+ - when drawing on an image with an alpha channel where the source
+ minimum is greater than zero, Imager would read from beyond the end
+ of a malloc() allocated buffer. In rare circumstances this could
+ lead to some of the source image not being written to the target
+ image, or possibly to a segmentation fault.
+ I don't believe this has any security concerns beyond that.
+
+ - if the first text drawn with Imager::Font::T1 is not anti-aliased,
+ text drawn would be nonsense. This would also read beyond the end
+ of a malloced buffer.
+
+ - non-AA text drawn with an Imager::Font::TT (Truetype 1) font would be
+ truncated early.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88993
+
+ - Imager::Font::Wrap no longer requires the image parameter.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87338
+
+ - a documentation typo fix in Imager::Transformations
+ Thanks to Adrian Yee.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88598
+
+ - Image::Probe, Imager's internal module for probing library
+ locations now searches the directories specified by LD_RUN_PATH,
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH for libraries,
+ and the corresponing s/\blib$/include/ directories for header
+ files.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86428
+
+Imager 0.97 - 15 Jul 2013
+===========
+
+No changes from 0.96_02.
+
+Imager 0.96_02 - 8 Jul 2013
+==============
+
+ - PNG: treat a version mismatch between headers and library as a
+ probe failure.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86659
+
+ - PNG: the check for benign error support is more complex than a
+ simple library version check, check for the appropriate macro.
+ Thanks for Slaven Rezic for following up on my CPAN Testers result
+ queries.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86659
+
+ - W32: add a missing head1 AUTHORS to the old Win32.pm
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86658
+
+Imager 0.96_01 - 1 Jul 2013
==============
- TIFF: handle SampleFormat = 2 by translating the signed integer
