brown-bag bugs may add intermediate releases. The dates are goals,
not commitments.
-0.45: (march 2005?)
-- audit pnm.c (done)
-- audit tga.c (done)
-- audit rgb.c and add tests
-- add META.yml (bypass EU::MM's limited mechanism) (done)
-- implement i_incomplete for bmp files
-- check if freetype 2 is faster/slower than freetype 1 with Imager's glyph
- caching. If FT1 is faster, add caching as a TODO for FT2.
-- add XS for i_tags_get_string() and test it. It has an apparent problem
- in C<< sprintf(value, "%d", entry->data); >> since data is a pointer
- (done)
-- test and fix problem with fallback value for
- Imager::Font::BBox->advance_width. (done)
-- check handling of string() method align parameter.
-- i_tt_bbox_inst in font.c uses variable i without ever setting it. (fixed)
-- add sample CGI that handles an uploaded image (done)
-- examples for fountain filter in Imager::Filters
-- allow Imager::Fountain to take color descriptions (eg. blue, FF000)
- instead of color objects for c0 and c1 (done)
-- support newer GIMP gradient files with the Name line (done)
-- provide access to right-side bearing information from the bounding box
- function (done for all drivers)
-- capture TIFF read warnings (i_warnings tag?) (done)
-- Imager::Matrix2d rotate method only applies offset if both x and y
- are non-zero, it should do it if either is non-zero (done)
-- add Imager::Cookbook with at least 5 recipes (done)
-- store floating point tags in an appropriate precision (done)
-- allow image creation to fail on malloc() failure for the image data
- rather than aborting. The current behaviour could be a denial of
- service attack. This has limited utility because of the way memory
- over commitment works on Linux (done but reverted)
-- eliminate unused variable warning (especially the RETVAL ones in Imager.xs)
- (done)
-- handle probing for libraries better (use pkg-config or I<library>-config
- where possible (freetype2 and libpng)) (done)
-- add concept index to Imager.pm pod (done, still working it)
-- replace testimg/penguin-base.ppm with a smaller image (done)
-- add a sample CGI HTML and image generation scripts that work together,
- with appropriate security management (done)

-0.46: (june 2005)
- allow limits to be set on the size of an image read from a file. This is
to prevent an attacker supplying huge images that consume all of
- memory causing a denial of service attack.
-- add Imager::Tutorial (see Tk::UserGuide for a structure)
+ memory causing a denial of service attack. (done)
+
+- implement gsamp()/gsampf()/plin() etc methods for those low level image
+ interfaces which don't yet have methods. (done)

+ - test (done)
+ - document (done)
+
+- add Imager::Tutorial (see Tk::UserGuide for a structure) (done)
don't cover installation - belongs in README or INSTALL
it doesn't need to cover everything - read/write/create/simple drawing
and simple text - other stuff belongs in the cookbook or in sample code
+
+- rename lib/Imager/Cookbook.pm to lib/Imager/Cookbook.pod (done)
+
- add 5 more recipes to Imager::Cookbook
-- implement gsamp()/gsampf()/plin() etc methods for those low level image
- interfaces which don't yet have methods.
+
- implement i_incomplete for png and gif files.
+
- documentation audit, check:
- every method has at least one example, but if the method is complex
(like transform2, to_paletted, string() for example) it should include
a range of examples
- check each method description to ensure it's reasonably clear.
- check POD sections (SEE ALSO in particular)
-- rework handling of antialiasing against transparent images
+ - multiple examples for writing GIF images.
+ - name arguments and use those names in the documentation

+ (available for FT1, freetype2, T1, Win32)
- easy interfaces for text output:
- align text around point, including:
- provide patches for libgif and libungif that fix their bugs
and give a useful extension interface. Probe for the
installation of the patches in Makefile.PL to let gif.c
- know what features it can use.
+ know what features it can use. (no need anymore)
- Add options for pnm writer to save in any of the p1..P6
formats. Even if the input has 1 channel, write 3 and such
