Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.78 - unreleased
+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 failed to load, that would
+ crash preventing loading of later fonts.

+
+ - parse defines from the options returned by pkg-config --cflags

+ fill area.
+ Thanks to Nicolas Roggli for reporting this.
+
+ - flood_fill wouldn't fill to the left edge of the image if the

+ - 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
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.
