Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.86 - unreleased
+ - getpixel(..., type => "float") and the API i_gpixf() have been
+ broken on paletted images since they were implemented.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75258
+
+Imager 0.88 - 22 Feb 2012
+===========
+
+ - describe how to build libgif etc on OS X in such a way as to be
+ compatible with a fat binary perl (such as the system perl), in
+ README.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73371
+
+ - update the change notes for 0.77_01 to indicate that libungif
+ support was removed.
+
+ - add some other imaging modules to SEE ALSO
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73906
+
+ - note that the generator of the apparently non-DFSG-free postscript
+ in MMOne.pfb is a Debian package.
+
+ - setsamples() is now a true complement to getsamples() - it can
+ write 8-bit or floating point samples from a scalar or array
+ reference. This adds i_psamp() and i_psampf() to the C level API.
+
+ - the XS interfaces to i_gsamp(), i_gsampf() and i_gsamp_bits() have
+ changed to make better use of the typemap, but these aren't part of
+ the perl level API anyway. There were no changes to the C level
+ interfaces to these functions.
+
+ - getpixel() and setpixel() now accept a mix of scalar and array
+ references for the x and y parameters, and unequal array lengths is
+ no longer an error.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - correctly calculate the size of a rotated image
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
+
+ - fix incorrect rounding of color values for matrix_transform() and
+ rotate().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
+
+ - Win32 text output is now done in normal combine mode, the alpha
+ component of the color is now significant.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70014
+
+ - remove long unused gif case from read()
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69244 (partial)
+
+ - the getsamples() target parameter was being treated as a hashref
+ when it's meant to be an array reference.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74882
+
+ - getpixel() and setpixel() now returns an empty list when invalid
+ parameters are supplied.
+ Invalid values for type now result in an error for getpixel().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
+
+Imager 0.87 - 03 Jan 2012
+===========
+
+ - document the return value of the filter() method.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72369
+
+ - document i_gsamp_bits() and i_psamp_bits().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68815
+
+ - properly increment the Imager::Matrix2d $VERSION.
+
+ - actually include the Imager::Test tests in the dist
+
+ - correctly read and write 256x256 pixel ICO files
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69599
+
+ - make the error message from read() or read_multi() when they can't
+ identify the file type match reality.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72475
+
+ - read() now uses $FORMATGUESS if it can't determine the file type
+ based on the file header, to match read_multi().
+
+ - re-work and add tests for def_guess_type(). def_guess_type() no
+ longer returns any random file extension as the file type.
+
+ - add gray4, gray16 and gray as presets for make_colors.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67911
+
+ - add make_palette() method that produces a palette from one or more
+ images.
+
+ - fix the Imager dependency for the separately distributed font
+ drivers.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72643
+
+ - fix i_render_color() to properly draw in "normal" mode - ie. when
+ writing to a 1 or 3 channel image the second or fourth channel of
+ the source color was being ignored, it is now significant.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71564
+
+Imager 0.86 - 31 Oct 2011
===========
+ - improve error reporting for W32 tests
+
+Imager 0.85_02 - 24 Oct 2011
+==============
+
Bug fixes:
- eliminate unused i_gif_opts type (clean-up)
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69245
+ - fix combine=0 fill color anti-aliasing on the double/sample path
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71309
+
+ - make default text color non-transparent
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71469
+
+ - apply the last of the Debian unforwarded spelling fixes
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70656
+
+ - the log() method used its message parameter as a C level format
+ string.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71653
+
+ - provide our own STRLEN typemap entry for older perls.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71641
+
+ - add extra ppport.h configuration to support older perls.
+
+ - depend on Scalar::Util, since we use it and older perls don't have
+ it.
+
+ - add overloaded eq to Imager::Matrix2d, since older perls don't seem
+ to synthesize it from overloaded "".
+
+ - use T1_StrError() for error messages on modern libt1
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69879
+
+ - actually load the font rather than just adding it to the catalog on
+ creation.
+
+ - Imager::Font->new now produces better error messages for the T1
+ engine.
+
+ - the font has_chars() method now returns perl's true and false
+ values in list context rather than integers, which should be more
+ efficient.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69158
+
+ - the btm data structure used by the flood_fill code is now
+ initialized more efficiently.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68994
+
+ - updated the Thanks list in README
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71607
+
+ - check there's at least one coefficient for the convolution filter
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68993
+
+ - make the APIRef synopsis ordering consistent, older versions of
+ perl could order it differently.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71675
+
+ - we rely on Config.pm's d_vsnprintf as to whether we use
+ vsnprintf/snprintf, which is defined in the Win32 Config.pm even
+ though it only has _ prefixed versions of these. Define our own
+ prefixed names on Win32.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71642
+
+ - fix library detection with MSVC
+
+ - search a few more library directories, so EU::MM doesn't discard
+ them. Hopefully fixes:
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71643
+
