Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.67 - unreleased
+Imager 0.71_01 - 30 Nov 2009
===========
Bug fixes:
- - corrected a reference leak where writing GIFs would leak memory.
- This could also happen calling to_paletted().
- Also documented the underlying long existing feature where the
- colors parameter is filled with the generated color table and added
- tests for it.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41028
+ - use scanline oriented operations to flip images instead of pixel
+ operations
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39278
+
+ - use double/sample operations to flip large sample images instead of
+ 8-bit sample operations.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39280
+
+ - fix POD nits
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51874
+
+ - prevent double-frees when someone creates Imager objects and then
+ creates a thread. Note: this just handles some simple cases,
+ Imager doesn't support perl threads, and isn't likely to.

+
+Imager 0.71 - 16 Nov 2009
+===========
+
+ - add the opacity fill type - an adaptor that modifies the opacity of
+ another fill.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - the conv filter now enforces that the sum of the coefficients is
+ non-zero. Also, rather than skipping pixels off the edge off the
+ edge of the image, the closest edge pixel is used. Previously
+ dividing by the zero sum of coefficients could cause invalid
+ results or runtime exceptions.
+ Thanks to David Cantrell's Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box for revealing
+ this bug.
+
+Imager 0.70 - 21 Sep 2009
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - release image row and comments memory on all error returns in gif
+ reader
+
+ - handle zero length extensions, previously this would cause a null
+ pointer dereference
+ Thanks to Krzysztof WojtaÅ for the test data and fix for this.
+
+ - an integer division meant that preview scaling to below 1 pixel
+ wide or high (which isn't too useful anyway) was calculating using
+ NaNs on most platforms, and causing an exception on others.
+ Thanks to David Cantrell for producing a backtrace of the crash on
+ his Alpha-NetBSD CPAN test box which made it possible to track this
+ down.
+
+Imager 0.69 - 08 Sep 2009
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - broken test fix - was attempting to call a function skip_all, when
+ that should be a parameter to plan().
+
+ - briefly document apidocs.perl, the tool used to build
+ Imager::APIRef and make some minor enhancements
+
+ - various minor documentation enhancements and fixes.
+
+Imager 0.68 - 07 Sep 2009
+===========
+
+ - Imager->new(file => $filename) and other similar incantations will
+ load the given file.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48261
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - avoid using CHECK as a label in Imager::Test
+ http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5220921
+
+ - re-work most image file test files that require a library into
+ separate library present/not present files to remove stupidly long
+ conditionals
+
+ - don't treat rubthrough() outside the bounds of the target image as
+ an error.
+ http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/5185716
+
+Imager 0.67_01 - 02 Sep 2009
+==============
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - correct documentation of default of raw image interleave read
+ parameter
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42074
+
+ - add raw_ prefix to raw read parameters, though the original names
+ still work.
+
+ - fail the read if an invalid raw_interleave parameter is supplied
+
+ - warn if no interleave or raw_interleave parameter is supplied,
+ since the documented default was wrong, and incompatible with the
+ write format
+
+ - for reading raw images, if raw_storechannels > raw_datachannels,
+ set the extra channels in the image to 0
+
+ - when probing for executables like freetype-config, search for .bat
+ and .cmd on MSWin32, as well as .exe.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49275
+
+ - re-work the external libraries section of README:
+ - list Debian and Redhat package names for each library
+ - reformatting
+ - update URLs
+
+ - use the new EU::MM META_MERGE facility instead of generating
+ META.yml from scratch
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47888
+
+ - use Devel::CheckLib (bundled, modified) to check which release of
+ libtiff is installed and reject 3.9.0

+
+ - fix a packaging error
+
+Imager 0.66 - 12 Dec 2008
===========
- 24-bit color .ICO/.CUR files can now be read.
rubthrough() to read past the end of a buffer.
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/05/msg1509184.html
+ - corrected a reference leak where writing GIFs would leak memory.

+
+ - write out the image size in bytes field of a BMP correctly.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41406
+
+ - add limited tests for Imager::ExtUtils
+
+ - make Imager::ExtUtils->includes use an absolute path, since
+ a relative path could cause failures using Inline::C.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37353
+
+ - re-arrange the POD for Imager::Font::BBox:
+ - mark total_width(), pos_width(), end_offset() obsolete, since
+ they're mostly for backwards compatibility
+ - group width methods and height methods
