Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.76
+Imager 0.79 - unreleased
===========
+ - add Imager::Test to the POD coverage tests and document the missing
+ functions.
+
+ - the convert() method now optimizes the case where all output
+ channels are either 0, sourced from a single input channel or 1.
+ This significantly speeds up presets like "addalpha", "green".
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51254
+
+ - add wiggle.pl sample, as suggested by Dan Oppenheim.
+
+ - add the combine() method to combine channels from multiple source
+ images into a new image
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11872
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - treat the co-efficients for convert() as doubles instead of floats.
+
+ - If a higher (earlier) priority font handler failed to load, that
+ would crash preventing loading of later font handlers.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=62855
+
+ - parse defines from the options returned by pkg-config --cflags
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63223
+
+
+Imager 0.78 - 4 Oct 2010
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - don't access deprecated members of the png_structp.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60242
+
+ - document that using color objects is faster than supplying colors
+ by name, etc.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=61047
+
+ - Imager::Probe now accepts array references for incpath and libpath.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60244
+
+Imager 0.77_02 - 27 Sep 2010
+==============
+
+ - moved Win32, FreeType 2 font support into sub-modules.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
+ Uses Imager::Probe now.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=61328
+
+ - tested successfully with jpeg-8b
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60221
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - from _01: look for missing file support test files in the right
+ places.
+
+ - flood_fill() wouldn't fill the right side of a single scan-line
+ fill area.
+ Thanks to Nicolas Roggli for reporting this.
+
+ - flood_fill wouldn't fill to the left edge of the image if the
+ starting line didn't reach the left edge.
+ Thanks to Nicolas Roggli for reporting this.
+
+Imager 0.77_01 - 13 Sep 2010
+==============
+
+ - add each library-directory/pkgconfig/ to the pkg-config search path
+ in Imager::Probe.
+ Thanks to Justin Davis.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60491
+
+ - moved GIF, TIFF, JPEG file handling code into sub-modules in
+ preparation for separate distribution.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
+
+ - optimize filled box drawing (color, not fill)
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Probe was calling ExtUtils::Liblist to initialize
+ LD_RUN_PATH supplying an undefined value rather than the found
+ directory. Thanks to Justin Davis.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60491
+
+ - only prepend ./ to font filenames when passing them to T1Lib and
+ then only when it would use its search mechanisms.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60509
+
+ - fix the cache check for the X rgb.txt loader. This is typically
+ used for color translation on Unix-like systems, and the fix
+ improves performance of supplying colors by name by about 80 times.
+ Test code that managed 3400 10x10 pixel boxes/second sped up to
+ 25700 boxes/second.
+
+ - clarify that Imager doesn't write EXIF metadata to images.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60637
+
+ - Imager::Probe can now search subdirectories under its include path.
+ Used by the PNG Makefile.PL to find headers and libraries when they
+ aren't in the base directory, as in cygwin.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60635
+
+Imager 0.77 - 11 Aug 2010
+===========
+
+I don't want Imager::File::PNG indexed as part of Imager, but forgot
+to update the META.yml before updating the version.
+
+ - don't index Imager::File::PNG as part of Imager
+
+ - add resources to META.yml
+
+Imager 0.76 - not released
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - the align_string() method would ignore a string of "0" due to a
+ mis-use of C< ||= >.
+ Thanks to Maurice Height for reporting this.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60199
+
+Imager 0.75_03 - 09 Aug 2010
+==============
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - read_types() and write_types() would include png when it wasn't
+ available due to a problem with the %formats tie
+
+ - handle dependent libraries correctly (eg -lpng requiring -lz) in
+ the code run phase of library probing.
+
+Imager 0.75_02 - 07 Aug 2010
+==============
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - add file missing from MANIFEST, which was causing TIFF failures.
+
+Imager 0.75_01 - 06 Aug 2010
+==============
+
+Test release for the new PNG probe.
+
- added the ability to read multiple-image PNM files.
Note that unlike the pbm/pgm/ppm specification this accepts mixed
format files and allows white space padding between files.
Thanks to Philip Gwyn (Leolo) for this patch.
+ - moved the PNG file handling code into a sub-module in preparation
+ for separate distribution.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
+ Also helps avoid complications from -I/-L compile/link options from
+ other libraries.
+
Bugs:
- Imager->new(data => $data) didn't try to process image file data in
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9798
Also, it wasn't testing pnm (pnm vs ppm mix-up)
+ - update the documentation of hardinvert to match the change in 0.62.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=59785
+
+ - added hardinvertall filter which also inverts the alpha channel
+ (sorry for the mess)
+
+ - when probing for TIFF, set LD_RUN_PATH just as the Makefile does so
+ the probe can find the library for the test run.
