Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
-Imager 0.73 - unreleased
+Imager 0.84_01 - 8 Aug 2011
+==============
+
+Development release as a sanity check for the types re-work.
+
+Massive types re-work:
+
+ - the type used internally for pixel co-ordinates and image sizes is
+ now 64-bit on 64-bit platforms (at least sane ones).
+
+ - size_t is now used consistently for memory block sizes.
+
+ - since this changes the binary interface, the Imager API version has
+ been incremented. Any module that uses the API will need to be
+ rebuilt. In most cases that will be enough, but calls to any APIs
+ that take a pointer to image sizes may need source changes.
+
+ - you should be able to create very large images on 64-bit systems,
+ if you have enough memory. Successfully created a 32768 x 49192 x
+ 3 channel image, filled with a tiled image and scaled it. The
+ unscaled image was also successfully saved to a JPEG.
+
+ - check the image size before attempting to write BMP, GIF, JPEG,
+ PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF images.
+
+ - correctly handle reading TGA images over 32767 pixels wide or tall.
+
+Incidental changes:
+
+ - the gif_left and gif_top tags are now clamped to non-negative
+ values when writing a GIF image.
+
+ - removed dead callback read/write code
+
+The default maximum memory size when reading files is now 1G.
+
+Imager 0.84 - 20 Jun 2011
+===========
+
+ - Imager no longer inherits from Exporter (unless you're running an
+ old, old perl.
+
+ - Imager can now write progressive JPEGs (it could always read them).
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68691
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - re-work, document and test Imager's logging facility.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65227
+
+ - fix META.yml testing and the generated META.yml
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65235
+
+ - test and add error reporting to to_*() family methods
+
+ - add to_rgb_double() method.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65101
+
+ - Imager no longer exports anything by default
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65228
+
+ - convert colors to grayscale if the supplied (or generated) palette
+ contains only grays when performing error diffusion color
+ translation.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68508
+
+ - writing a paletted image to GIF wouldn't always use the colors
+ supplied (or generated, eg. via make_colors => "mono"), which was
+ confusing at best.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67912
+
+ - replace (imager|tony)@imager.perl.org in the doc, since I don't
+ plan to continue receiving mail at that address.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68591
+
+Imager 0.83 - 21 May 2011
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - diag() the error message on failure for some TIFF tests that are
+ failing on a Solaris smoker.
+ http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/6396db1e-8090-11e0-9682-112b785ebe45
+
+Imager 0.82_01 - 17 May 2011
+==============
+
+Dev release, in case the compose tests are too sensitive.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Font::T1 incorrectly checked for absolute filename under
+ Win32. Thanks to kmx for the report and fix.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67963
+
+ - compose() with the target, source or mask position off the top or
+ left of the target image didn't clip the source image correctly.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67220
+
+ - compose() now returns a useful error message on a non-positive
+ opacity.
+
+ - compose.im now at 100% test coverage. (As opposed to, umm, much,
+ much less.)
+
+Imager 0.82 - 14 Mar 2011
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - eliminate calls to i_has_format() from the test suite, since it's
+ no longer a useful way to check for file format support. Eliminate
+ i_has_format() from the functions exposed via XS.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65863
+
+ - eliminate calls to note(), which isn't in the (very old) version of
+ Test::More we have as a pre-requisite. note() is modern enough
+ that I don't feel a need to require a Test::More upgrade for it.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65864
+
+ - skip the threads tests on Test::More 2.00_*
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65812
+
+ - add an (unshipped) test to check Imager's internal POD links
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65749
+
+ - improve the library detection summary
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9675
+
+ - increase the version of Imager::Font::Type1 so that upgrades don't
+ downgrade the version in this file.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66250
+
+ - if we see an -rpath (or -R) option in $Config{lddlflags} supply
+ that option for the directories that would normally go in
+ LD_RUN_PATH. Typically an explicit -rpath overrides LD_RUN_PATH.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65955
+
+Imager 0.81 - 14 Feb 2011
+===========
+
+ - added coverage tests for masked images (maskimg.c @100% test coverage)
+
+ - add hsv() method to Imager::Color
+ Thanks to Leolo (Philip Gwyn)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65385
+
+ - split libt1 Type 1 font support into a sub-module
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
+
+ - add a preload() class method for use in forking servers, and to
+ work around limitations in PAR.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65665
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - paletted writes to a masked image are now masked correctly.
+ Revealed by new coverage tests.
+
+ - update the filter plugin documentation.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=56513
+
+ - add the matrix() method to Imager::Matrix2d to allow creation of a
+ matrix with specified co-efficients. You can now multiple an
+ Imager::Matrix2d object by a 9 element array ref or a number.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29938
+
+ - really fix loading TTF fonts with FT2 when FT1 isn't available.
+ Thanks to Leolo (Philip Gwyn)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65386
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=62855
+
+ - make sure each test script that needs testout/ creates it.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65088
+
+ - handle a slightly different warning from libtiff 4.x
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65268
+
+ - the sat transform2() op returned an incorrect saturation.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65391
+
+Imager 0.80 - 17 Jan 2011
+===========
+
+ - added coverage tests for Imager::Fountain and Imager::Color::Float
+
+ - Imager is now maintained in git
+ http://git.imager.perl.org/imager.git
+ git://git.imager.perl.org/imager.git
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - images with an translucent alpha channel were not scaled correctly
+ by the default (qtype=normal) scaling method.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63922
+
+ - Imager::Color::Float now translates "#FFFFFF" to white instead of
+ just a little darker.
+
+ - make the default color map build algorithm "mediancut". This
+ changes the default color map builder for writing GIFs back to what
+ it was in 0.77, reverting a performance regression.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=64785
+
+ - handle failure to create a masked image correctly
+
+Imager 0.79 - 10 Dec 2010
+===========
+
+ - 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
+
+ - a regen of the MANIFEST revealed that GIF and FT2 tests weren't
+ included in the tarball. They are now included.
+
+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
+ $data
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=58761
+
+ - t/t50basicoo.t no longer depends on the other tests to generate its
+ input files.
+ 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.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=57518
+
+Imager 0.75 - 20 Jun 2010
+===========
+
+ - use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to slightly improve performance on threaded
+ perls (not measured)
+
+Bugs:
+
+ - an opacity fill based on a fountain fill would segfault when
+ filling an 8-bit/sample image.
+
+ - merge thickline branch polygon fix
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43518
+
+Imager 0.74 - 7 May 2010
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - read_multi() didn't handle a missing file format library correctly,
+ aborting on failing to call i_readgif_multi_wiol() or
+ i_readtiff_multi_wiol().
+
+ - fix spelling errors patched by Debian
+ http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libimager-perl/debian/patches/spelling.patch?revision=54839&view=markup
+
+ - add an (unshipped) author test to spellcheck Imager's POD.
+
+ - update the TIFF file format documentation
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=56510
+
+ - lib/Imager/IO.pod was written almost 4 years ago but never shipped.
+
+Imager 0.73 - 15 Mar 2010
===========
- implement outline circles, both anti-aliased and not
projects / imager.git / blobdiff
