 Imager release history.  Older releases can be found in Changes.old
 
-Threads work
-  - thread safe ft2
-  - thread safe ft1
+ - NOTE: possibly backward incompatible
+   support reading from/writing to perl filehandes that aren't raw
+   files.
+
+   This allows Imager's I/O to honour handles with layers such as
+   gzip, scalar file handles or tied file handles.
+
+   This is backward in-compatible in that previous Imager would simply
+   use fileno() to retrieve the fd for the file and call write(2) etc
+   on it directly.
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=78843
+
+ - moved most of README to lib/Imager/Install.pod which should make it
+   more accessible to the "web" generation, also significantly updated
+   and re-worked it.
+
+ - updated README's for the separately distributed modules to refer to
+   Imager::Install, and that they need -dev versions of packages
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=81265
+
+ - the JPEG test code now reports the compile-time library version
+
+ - avoid a possible compiler optimization issue on CentOS 5.9 i386 by
+   rearranging (and mildly optimizing) some code.
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83212
+
+ - fix a POD error in Imager::Fill (detected on new Pod-Simple)
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83434
+
+ - fix a broken link to Graphics::Magick

+Imager 0.93 - 15 Oct 2012
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - previously a transparency enabled GIF write (the default) would
+   always use a GIF89a header even if none of the images were
+   transparent.
+
+ - previously the probe step for freetype-config would fail on cygwin
+
+ - catch an invalid matrix parameter to convert() instead of crashing
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79922
+
+ - remove the 16-bit/sample limitation from the documentation for
+   setsamples(), it hasn't applied for many releases.
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79989
+
+ - don't copy setsamples() data parameter, it may be a large scalar
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79990
+
+ - clean up .dSYM directories generated performing probes on OS X
+   Mountain Lion.
+
+ - pass the --verbose command-line option through to Imager::Probe in
+   sub-module's Makefile.PLs
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75878
+
+Enhancements:
+
+ - support for giflib 5.0. (5.0.1 and later)
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79029
+   The giflib API Imager uses doesn't have a mechanism to set the
+   header version in 5.0.0.
+
+ - update the GIF library probe code to check for the new giflib 5.0.1
+   EGifSetGifVersion() function, and to check for the giflib 4.2.0
+   uninitialized gif89 bug.
+   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79679
+   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3574283&group_id=102202&atid=631304
+
+ - avoid static variables when capturing IPTC data from JPEG files
+
+ - match Imager::Font;:T1's error message translations to those from
+   later versions of T1Lib.
+
+ - for libtiff versions that support extended warning handlers (3.8.0
+   or later), use them to avoid some global variables.
+
+ - note Image::ExifTool for better metadata support.
