meant a rubbish palette was returned to the user (detected with valgrind)
- built 0.43_02 for testing
-0.43_03
+0.43_03 Wed 8 Dec 2004
- change the "double-include" protection macro that imio.h uses.
- updated download locations for the various libraries that Imager
I was going to include a META.yml but EU::MM's generation is too
simplistic (and misses the leading document header too). For now
I'll leave it out.
+- built 0.43_03 for testing
+
+0.44 Wed 15 Dec 2004
+- modify the default include directories list to include the location
+ FreeBSD keeps freetype1 headers after the freetype2 locations.
+ This ensures that the -I options are generated with freetype2
+ locations first, so that those directories are searched before
+ the freetype1 directories. This prevents problems compiling
+ font.c on FreeBSD.
+ Resolves: http://rt-cpan.fsck.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=1723
+- finish off a sentence in the "Producing an image from a CGI script"
+ example in Imager::Files
+- method index didn't include errstr()
+- document that you don't want the FT2 freetype.h in the include path
+
+0.44_01
+- the plugins Makefile has long produced an error after all tests were
+ complete on Win32, finally tracked down why
+- Makefile.PL now checks the directories specified by $Config{locincpth}
+ and $Config{loclibpth} for includes and libraries respectively.
+ Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2942
+- we were undefing the wrong macro (used as an include guard) when
+ building the error code translation function for freetype 2. This
+ meant most errors came out as numbers.
+- add a note to the README on how to get font suitcases and dfont files
+ working on OS X.
+- add dfont to the list of extensions supported by ft2
+- document Imager::Font->new()'s index parameter
+- added concept index to Imager.pm's POD
+- the gradgen filter now does the same color value conversion that
+ Imager's drawing functions do.
+- added trivial multiple master support via the FT2 driver
+- added .pcf and .pcf.gz to the list of extensions supported by ft2
+- the tiff reader now puts warning messages produced during reading into
+ the i_warning tag.
+ Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8722
+- the i_xres and i_yres tags are now stored in a resolution similar
+ to their source.
+ Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8520
+- added tiff_resolutionunit_name tag when reading tiff files
+- Makefile.PL now attempts to use freetype-config to configure freetype 2
+ and pkg-config to configure libpng.
+- avoid complaining about include/lib directories we pull from
+ perl's config or we have built-in
+- Makefile.PL now builds imconfig.h with #defines for libraries
+ present (and for the GIF library version) rather than putting them
+ into CFLAGS
+- scanning for required include files is now down by directory rather
+ than by file, using -e to check for the existence for a file rather than
+ doing an eq against every filename in the directory.
+- previously we only checked a candidate include directory for freetype.h
+ to consider it a valid FT1.x include directory. We now check if it
+ contains fterrors.h too, if it does, then it's from a FT2 installation
+ and we ignore it.
+- Makefile.PL now accepts command-line options to set include and library
+ directories and to enable/disable drivers.
+- added simple examples to most of the filters documented in
+ Imager::Filters
+- explicitly document there are no PNG specific tags.
+- more examples in Imager::Draw
+- minor cleanup of Imager::Fill
+- eliminate unused variables and static functions
+- simplify some XS code by adding another typemap entry
+- the right-side bearing used to adjust the final width wasn't being
+ calculated correctly, this would cause the bounding_box() function for
+ freetype 2.x to return a larger than expected text width.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11291
+- add scaleX/scaleY to the method index and gives them some examples
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11328
+- call read() instead of open() in the example code in Imager.pm,
+ and mention that open() is an alias for read().
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11431
+- added reference list of crop() parameters.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11430
+- reading a tga image with an idstring of 128 or more bytes would result
+ in an allocation error, if the platform char type was signed
+- tests now check that tga tags are set
+- calling the read() method for a format not included in the Imager build,
+ for example, JPEG with no libjpeg installed, would crash with an
+ undefined function error (modified by DynaLoaders dependence on
+ AutoLoader.)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=9618
+- some test scripts have been modified to use Test::More, which is now
+ included under the t directory. Eventually all will be modified to use
+ Test::More and the duplicates in t/testtools.pl will be removed
+- the convert, crop, rotate, copy, matrix_transform, to_paletted, to_rgb8,
+ scaleX and scaleY methods now warn when called in void context.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=9672
+- correct email addresses in the README file, and include bug reporting
+ information there too
+- added README for samples directory, describes interleave.pl and
+ anaglyph.pl to start.
+- the XS for the internal i_glin() function wasn't copying the pixel
+ values across to the returned color objects.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11860
+- Imager::Cookbook wasn't included in the MANIFEST
+- added samp-form.cgi and samp-image.cgi to the samples directory to
+ demonstrate displaying a generated image on a HTML page.
+- Makefile.PL now adds rules to generate a suitable META.yml to the
+ generated Makefile.
+- added sample code for handling images uploaded via a HTML form.
+- saving a GIMP gradiant file with Imager::Fountain->save has always been
+ broken. Fixed it and added tests.
+- newer versions of GIMP add a line to gradient files before the
+ segment count giving a descriptive name of the gradient.
+ Imager::Fountain can now read and write such gradient files. The
+ interface is a bit indirect, but I'd like to preserve
+ Imager::Fountain as a blessed array ref for now.
+- the segments parameter supplied to the fountain filter and the
+ fountain fill contructor now accepts color names or other
+ descriptions as other functions do.
+- fix a few compiler warnings
+- document the Imager::Font::BBox advance_width() method
+- Imager::Font::BBox advance_width() method was falling back to
+ the wrong value when the font driver's low level function
+ didn't return the advance width.
+- the FT 1.x was comparing versus an uninitialized variable when
+ checking the end of string when calculating the right side bearing
+ used to adjust pos_width for glyphs that overlap the right side of the
+ advance width.
+- Imager::Font::BBox objects now have right_bearing() and display_width()
+ methods. Hopefully this and the advance_width() method fills out
+ the Imager bounding box interface to a useful state.
+ Implemented for FT2, FT1.x, T1Lib so far.
