-Revision history for Perl extension Imager.
-
-0.01 Thu May 6 15:25:03 1999
- - original version; created by h2xs 1.18
-
-0.02 Mon May 10 20:20:20 1999
- - Added PPM writer, and a new return type to
- be used to return undef() from a function returning
- (int)0.
-
-0.03 Thu May 20 23:23:23 1999
- - Added Pseudo image handling thingies, now
- you can use your own get and put pixel routines.
-
-0.04 Mon May 24 22:14:55 1999
- - Rewrote parts of jpeg support.
-
-0.05 Tue May 25 23:40:01 1999
- - Added png support with libpng
- fixed error reporting and return types from
- some format routines.
-
-0.06 Wed May 26 19:05:39 1999
- - Fixed Data::Dumper being used when it shouldn't have
- added feature checking to see at run time if
- certain formats are avaliable.
- removed some ancient C++ style comments that hadn't
- been properly removed, some out of bounds errors in ppm.c
- fixed tests so missing features are skipped.
-
-0.07 Thu May 27 03:15:00 1999
- - Fixed the typemap for i_img and i_color so that you can pass
- a null pointer to them without getting a warning when warnings
- are enabled. Maybe this is counter perl but it greatly increases
- the usability of the functions.
-
-0.08 Fri May 28 14:13:21 1999
- - Added support for gif via, giflib or libungif.
- gif is so ridden with patent issues but the user
- can decide which library to use since they have the same
- include files and calling interface.
-
-0.09 Mon May 31 17:52:32 1999
- - Added image scaling per axis - faster than doing both
- axes at the same time. The current method uses lancoz
- kernel and filtering. But more types should be added -
- including: nearest neighbor, linear, and bicubic.
-
-0.10 Mon Jun 7 03:25:54 1999
- - Added T1 postscript font handling. It's very primitive
- at the moment but creative people can do nice stuff
- with it. Currently it is not possible to have it
- generate an image of the correct size for a given string
- but that is on the way.
-
-0.11 Mon Jun 7 14:43:35 1999
- - Added T1 features for direct to image rendering in
- a single color. fixed some debug messages going to
- stderr instead of a log file.
-
-0.12 Tue Jun 8 02:58:43 1999
- - Fixed bugs in jpeg.c when loading images. Also specified
- prototype behaviour to on in the Imager.xs file. The
- Makefile.PL step doesn't complain anymore so that is
- hopefully fixed.
-
-0.13 Wed Jun 9 06:55:58 1999
- - Fixed Imager.xs for init_log call. Minor fixes here
- and there.
-
-0.14 Thu Jun 10 14:11:22 1999
- - Rewrote most of the logging stuff so that it is now
- possible to remove all logging from the XS part of the
- module. Also some primitive check of memory usage was
- added. Claes Jacobsson sent in some filters, inverter,
- contrast and a noise filter.
-
-0.15 Mon Jun 14 08:13:29 1999
- - Wrote minor enhancement on the calling syntax list.
- Started on the object interface - added better support
- for quering avaliable filetypes. Fixed memory leaks in
- most loaders. New filters from Claes in this version
- are bumpmap, postlevels and mosaic.
-
-0.16 Wed Jun 16 20:54:33 1999
- - Added fixes to the BEGIN and END parts, added writer
- function for the OO interface. Also added basic IPTC
- reading support for jpegs. Also a few filters have been
- added to the OO interface.
-
-0.17 Thu Jun 24 11:09:15 1999
- - Added dynamic loading stuff - It's still missing a nice
- global symbol table. This will be fixed in next release.
- also calling the plugins is not all to easy at the moment.
-
-
-0.18 Mon Jun 28 12:31:33 1999
- - Added global symbol table - plugins now need a symbol
- table pointer in them. When the module is loaded it is
- set to point at the global symbol table. Also some barebones
- Makefile.PL has been made in the dynfilt directory - it works
- on my system - I hope it does on yours.
-
-
-0.19 Fri Jul 1 15:00:03 1999
- - Added a way new scaling method for creating easy previews.
- It only uses nearest neighbor, so it's doesn't look very nice
- but it may be better for applications like remote sensing.
-
-0.20 Mon Jul 5 10:15:37 1999
- - Added and rewrote documentation.
-
-0.21 Mon Jul 6 19:15:37 1999
- - Fixed a bug in the scaling routine - it wasn't
- handling 0< cases.
-
-0.22 Sat Oct 9 07:04:14 1999
- - Added a new method to write gif images - now
- it is possible to have a part of a palette fixed.
- this is very usefull if one needs to make sure that
- some color like white is in the pallete. This method
- also allows some ditherding and gives better colormap
- than the mediancut from the gif libraries. It does
- need much more cpu power though. Hopefully later versions
- will be faster.
-
-0.23 **************** Internal release only
- - Fixed the %instances bug - caused ALL memory to be leaked.
- Added real noise function - need feedback on how it should
- be used. Also box(), and polyline are now in place. Polygon
- is missing but antialiased line drawing with integer endpoints are
- done but should be replaced with a version that can have
- floating point endvalues. Two noise filters addded.
-
-0.24 **************** Internal release only
- - Converted i_color into an object from a reference, so now it's
- giving an object instead of a void ptr or an integer or something.
-
-0.25 **************** Internal release only
- - Added basic Truetype functionality - still needs a rewrite
- to be decent. Currently it's a port of a demo program that
- uses an awful amount of global variables and there is much IO since
- no caching of glyphs is done.
-
-0.26 Tue Nov 23 03:57:00 1999 > Development release <
- - Added transformations so that an image can be wrapped.
- To achive decent speed a C based stackmachine is included. As a result
- transformations need to be specified in rpn (postfix) notation. It
- also can use the Affix::Infix2Postfix class to do the conversion for it.
-
-0.27 Tue Dec 28 03:57:00 1999 > CPAN release <
- - This is a bugfix version mostly, thanks to claes for pointing
- out the problems - fixed palette saving wasn't working correctly after
- version 0.24 - rather surprised this didn't crash everything.
- Also fixed that for t1 fonts the bounding box wasn't being reported
- unless the font had been used before. This is either a bug in t1lib
- or a mistake in it's documentation. Another lingering bug since 0.24
- what that $img->box() wasn't creating it's default color properly.
- Added i_tt_text() method and more debuging to the truetype routines.
- truetype testcase fixed and old debug rubish removed.
-
-0.28 Tue Jan 4 05:25:58 2000 > CPAN release <
- - Only fixes to truetype test and transformation tests.
- Thanks to schinder of cpan testers for testing and reporting.
-
-0.29 Tue Jan 4 21:49:57 2000 > CPAN release <
- - fixes to get rid of warnings under pre 5.005,
- Fixed broken preproccessor directives to work on non gnu
- compilers. Fixed DSO test on HPUX - both code errors and
- HPUX creates .sl instead of .so so the tests were failing.
-
-0.30 Sun Jan 7 05:00:06 2000 > Bunch of Alpha releases <
- - An attempt to automate installation.
-
-0.31 Sat Jan 15 03:58:29 2000 > Fixes fixes fixes <
- - Fixed a bug pointed out by Leolo where loading gifs
- skips the first line of the imageload() has been
- by read() - for now load is an alias for read. It will
- be removed in the future. Also, fixes dynamic loading on
- systems that prepend an underscore to symbols. At the present
- the only system that I know of that needs this is OpenBSD.
- BUT YOU MUST RECOMPILE ALL OF YOUR OLD MODULES AGAINST THIS BUILD.
- Added getchannels() method ( How did I manage to delay this
- untill now ). Some document changes but nothing substantial.
- Also fixed the png read/write routines to handle all colorspaces
- and images with alpha information. Also now it's possible to
- have Imager guess the format of the files to load or save
- when passing files to read or save from the filename.
- Also all of the tests except dynamic loading now pass on OS/2.
-
-0.32 Tue Feb 29 17:26:00 2000 CPAN RELEASE
- - Added the getcolorcount method. Fixed interlace handling
- on png images. Fixed the missing channel count in crop()
- method. Rewrote most of t1lib database stuff - created color
- and font classes. T1 stuff is mostly done - TT things were
- rewritten too and now include most of what is needed for
- pixmap caching. Added documentation for fonts. Comments have
- been added to some of the relevant c-routines. Added a copy()
- function in Imager.xs and a corresponding method name.
- Changed the underlying data type for the raw XS images from
- pointers to objects - this will hopefully catch the most
- basic errors and keep the segfaulting down. This means that
- all of the underlying XS calls for readjpeg, readgif, readpng
- and readraw do not take the first parameter any more.
- Made fixes to keep it not spewing warning on 5.004 perl.
-
- **** If you had any code that didn't use the OO interface ****
- **** It will probably not work any longer ****
-
-0.33 Beta -- No final
- - Fixed the end message from Imager 0.32. Destroy called
- on an empty image. Did some work on the polygon method.
- Some clean up in the Makefile.PL script. Fixed a buffer
- overrun in the t_transform in Imager.XS. Fixed the
- error handling in the jpeg loader. It now correctly
- returns undef if a load on an image fails. It also
- sends the error messages to the log file. Added errstr()
- method to the image object. Added a new way to read()
- objects from scalars. So far this is only implemented for
- jpeg, png and gif. ppm and raw soon - as always if someone
- wants to do an overhaul on the ppm stuff feel free. It seems
- like such a basic format that interfacing with a library is more
- work than implementing all of the needed routines instead.
-
-0.34 Beta -- No final
- - Bunch of documentation fixes, backed out ppm code.
- Put in TonyC's giant transform2 patch. Fixed the patch
- to make it ansi compliant. Fixed a bunch of bugs in the
- Freetype code with regard to vertical and horizontal
- positioning and bounding boxes. Cleaned up a lot of the
- code so it runs under -Wall. Code that is still in
- development such as the polygon converter do not compile
- cleanly. Fixed the non antialiased versions of truetype
- dump to image routines. Also removed the FIXME for the
- hardcoding of antialias in the Imager string method.
- Fixed sign error and a missing cache of the bounding box
- calculation for the rasterize function. Removed some
- debugging code I forgot to remove. Added iolayer.h
- and iolayer.c but they don't do anything for now.
-
-0.35 pre2 -- No time yet
- - Fixed some compile warnings for various files under -Wall.
- Added functionality for jpeg reading of seekable files, it's not
- really working yet. This version is pretty much *not* working.
- Do not install unless you intend to do a lot of development.
- Repeat - it doesn't even pass tests (but it compiles). Ok now reading
- jpegs works from scalars, my guess is that it also works from non
- seeking sources such as sockets or pipes.
-
-0.35 pre3 - No time yet
- - Added the *right* patch from Tony which combines
- the common code from i_readgif and i_readgif_scalar into
- i_readgif_low. Added tiff reading support through iolayer.
-
-0.35 pre4 - No time yet
- - Added tiff writing (no options) support through
- iolayer. Also made some small fixes for the iolayer reading
- (was always doing two reads when one was needed). Patched the
- Imager::read() call so that it now uses a mixture of old and new
- functions.
-
-0.35 pre5 - No time yet
- - Fixed various gnu'isms in the c code (some bugs in the link list
- implmentation). Fixed missing #skip codes when gif format is not
- present in any form. Added fixes for 5.004_04 in the transform2 function.
- Made sure it compiles cleanly with sun's cc. Switched from a .jpeg
- for transform2 check to a .ppm file so it runs when jpeg is not
- present. Added a test for tiff files in t10formats.t.
-
-
-0.35 pre6 - No time yet
- - Fixes to Makefile.PL. Should find freetype includes on more
- distributions now. Ran tests on Solaris and Hpux, minor fixes.
- Compiles with some warnings on with both hpux and solaris' cc.
- Made some minor changes to the documentation. Fixes to tiff.c log
- code.
-
-0.35 pre7 - No time yet
- - Fixes 64 bit bug on freebsd. While libtiff mirrors the effects of
- lseek it's toff_t is a uint32, while lseek uses off_t which can be a 64
- bit quantity. Added the IM_LFLAGS environment variable to help
- people with broken libgifs (that want to link with X).
-
-0.35 Sun Jan 28 19:42:59 EST 2001
- - More makefile fixes, fixed a few signedness warnings.
- Checked to see if it compiled cleanly on Solaris and HPUX.
- Fixed a 5.004_04 warning and added more ENV flags for makefile.
-
-0.36 Mon Jan 29 09:36:11 EST 2001
- - String as 0 or "" caused an error in $img->string(). Fixed a
- documentation error invoving string() method syntax. Merged a patch
- for non antialised truetype fonts. Fixed an error in the Makefile.PL
- which caused a makefile to be generated that bombed with sgi's make.
-
-0.37 Mon Tue 30 09:36:11 EST 2001
- - Several documentation fixes. Pod documentation for almost every
- function in image.c. Added sys/types.h include in iolayer which was
- causing problems on various linux systems.
-
-0.38 pre1 - No time yet
- - Fixed a braindamaged fix on the Makefile.PL file. Moved the
- code for Imager::Color into lib/Imager/Color.pm. Wrote some pod
- about how it works. Made the names of Imager::Color XS routines
- all begin with ICL_ and used the prefix rules of XS to get nice names
- in perl. Found a bug (not fixed) in how XS handles
- returning an object to an object it had as a parameter (double
- free).
-
-0.38 pre2 - No time yet
- - Fixes lots of for documentation, patch for freetype bounding
- box handling. Split put code for Imager::Font into Font.pm and added
- more documentation for Font.pm. Added string local ascender and
- descender for tt fonts. Note that this needs to be added to t1 fonts
- before 0.38 final.
-
-0.38 pre3 - No time yet
- - Fixed an in consistency in the bounding box functions for t1
- fonts. Now both versions get the 6 argument bounding_box method
- described in Imager::Font. Started converting the comments in
- font.c so that they are viewable by doco.perl. Added two examples
- of filters. Need to make them more usefull and then add more
- notes than are in compile.txt.
-
-
-0.38 pre4 - No time yet
- - Completed adding pod comments to font.c, tiff.c and iolayer.c.
- Those along with image.c should now have every single function
- described in pod format.
-
-0.38 pre5 - No time yet
- - Replaced ppm.c with pnm.c which adds support for pbm/pgm/ppm
- files ascii and binary formats. Added patches for the gif routines.
- Patched some of the color quantizing routines (Leolo and TonyC).
- There is one bomb and one warning in this test, and frankly I don't
- see why they are suddenly there.
-
-0.38 pre6 - No time yet
- - Patch from Tony that fixes infix when Parse::RecDescent is present.
- Checked some cases where malloc/free were used instead of mymalloc/myfree.
- Added bufchain iolayer code. You can now write to a chain of buffers and
- later slurp it all into a single perl scalar. Found some oddity of t/t10
- test not giving the right return value when malloc debugging was enabled.
- Fixed some of the logging code and the malloc debugging options. Added
- more tests for tiffs.
-
-0.38 pre7 - No time yet
- - Added i_gradgen code and put it into the filters hash. Think a
- seperate pod for filters would be a good idea. Also removed some of the
- debugging code from the iolayer. Added pod comments to filters.c and
- looked over the code.
-
-0.38 pre8 - No time yet
- - limited Win32 support, Imager installs and builds using VC++,
- but there's no image/font format support yet.
-
-0.38 pre9 - No time yet
- - Added lots of color quantization code from Tony with benchmarks.
- Also fixes ugly stack overrun in old version. Added fixes for the lmfixed
- problem. Four of them, let's see which is fastest. This version adds
- some voronoi partitioning - it's dog slow but it's a reference implementation
- to check if faster algorithms are doing the right thing [tm]. Added a check
- for giflib 3.
- - Win32 support for libpng
- - fixed set_internal creating 2 refs to one object
- - Win32 support for jpeg
- - Win32 support for tiff
- - base level error reporting code added, I still need to modify
- older code to use it
- - fix translate=>'giflib' handling of single-colour images.
- Previously a single colour image would cause an error in
- MakeMapObject().
- - fix t/t10formats.t tests against giflib3
- - added test for transparent gifs
- - minor doc fixes for transparent gifs
- - make it less error-prone to write transparent gifs
- - documented the options for reading raw images
- - Changes switched to use spaces for formatting
- - switch gif.c to new error reporting with related changes to
- Imager.xs, Imager.pm
- - each of the image formats now have their own test file,
- extracted from t10formats.t, usually with som extra tests
- - Added flip() and docs to Imager.pm and i_flipxy to image.c.
- Added testcases too.
- - Fixed an overflow bug in png.c
- - added the colors parameter to Imager::read() which receives
- the arrayref of colours that i_readgif(_scalar) returns
- - fixed a problem in makemap_addi in quant.c where only the first
- image was compared against the palette when the palette was being
- refined. I screwed up on this originally (TC). This is the other
- half of a fix for Leolo's lmfixed problem <sigh>.
- - makemap_addi() now only puts colours into the palette that it
- found while optimizing the palette (so we don't get 256 colour
- palettes for 2 colour images :)
- - initial implementation of a row-based interface to low-level
- images (for performance)
- - changed Imager::read() for GIF so that the arrayref pointed to
- by the ref supplied in colors contains Imager::Color objects
- instead of more arrayrefs, keep this interface stable until we
- can make an informed choice about i_readgif()
- - incorporated Micksa's faxable tiff support, treating as a type
- of tiff rather than a separate format
- - t/t70newgif.t now checks for gif support
- - added the convert() method
- - Added support for transparent to alpha conversion during loading
- of png files. Note that libpng 1.0.1 is broken in handling this,
- we know that 1.0.5 works.
- - support for writing PGM (portable gray map) files
- - Fix for i_gifread_low() for images with only a local and no global
- colormap and an abort if no colormap is present (which is legal
- in gif).
- - several fixes to i_readgif_low()
- - Fixed crop() method so that it is consistent with documentation.
- - make clean now removes the testout directory
- - added tests for the OO interface for tiff, added an option to
- choose the resolution for fax tiffs, removed some unused code,
- fixed minor problems with Imager::write() handling of image types
- - changed README note on libgif bug to refer to t105gif.t instead
- of t10formats.t
-
-0.39 pre1
- - split Imager::Font into a base, *::Type1 and *::Truetype
- - writing faxable tiff now allows 2 and 4 channel images
- - virtual image interface - 8-bit/sample images
- - paletted images
- - 16-bit/sample images
- - masked images
- - writing non-8bit images to raw
- - writing '' '' to tiff
- - i_convert support for high-bit images and paletted images
- - i_copy for high-bit and paletted images
- - tests for rubthru
- - rubthru can now rub a 2 channel image over a 1 or 3 channel
- image
- - rubthru for high-bit images
- - i_readgif_multi functions, which return all the frames from a
- GIF file, along with a bunch of meta-information as tag
- - OO interface to tags
- - OO interface read_multi() to read multi-image files (just GIF
- so far)
- - documentation for the multi-image GIF reading and tags
- - rotate() method with rotate by steps of 90 degrees (and docs)
- - fixed a bug in i_img_pal_new_low()
- - added gaussian to the filters list
- - documented the individual filters
- - fixed the right-hand side of bounding boxes for TT fonts
- where the last character overlaps the advance width (eg.
- italic fonts)
- - added rotation by exact amounts in degrees or radians,
- implemented using the matrix idea from Addi. The procedural
- matrix transformer is exposed, but still needs testing (as XS)
- and needs an OO interface, hopefully with some helper tools,
- like the preset interface with ->convert().
- - MY::postamble() in Makefile.PL included a broken rule
- (Makefile.PL 1.13.2.5)
- - support for GDI fonts under Win32
- - made that work for cygwin too (needs the w32api package)
- - freetype1 support under Win32
- - t1lib support under Win32
- - fixed a minor bug in font.c (invalid font files caused a SEGV)
- - checked cygwin for both t1lib and freetype1
- - freetype 2 support
- - exposed the matrix_transform() function to the OO interface

- - support for setting the resolution when writing to PNG
- - retrieve physical resolution to tags when reading from PNG
- - found an XS bug in the interface to i_tags_add()
- - fixed handling of writing text to a channel with freetype2
- (sometimes the edge of a character would damage the edge of the
- previous character)
- - some utf8 support for freetype2
- - some vertical layout support for freetype2
- - named parameters for specifying colors, with quite a few options.
- - glyph size issues for freetyp2
- - minor problem in handling of canon option

- watermark filters
- - added t/t61filters.t to test the filters
- - fixed some problems in jpeg handling from the exp_represent merge
- - fixed buffer flushing for wiol jpeg code
- - added some tests that will hopefully catch it in the future

- watermark filters, and documented them
- - fixed a sample size conversion problem in i_gpixf_d() etc.
- - added simple color representation conversion functions (used
- in i_fountain().)
- - added the fountain filter:
- - creates gradients similar to paint software
- - 90% support for GIMP gradient files
- - OO interface and documentation
- - Imager::Fountain for building/loading fill definitions

- - implement i_flood_cfill() based on i_flood_fill, and
- add general fills to the flood_fill() method
- - generalize the combine parameter to get different ways of
- combining the fill with the target
- - the tt driver (freetype 1) didn't handle the first character
- hanging off the left of the character cell
- - the tt driver produces some artifacts when characters
- overlapped
- - error handling for writing jpeg images
- - writing paletted images to GIF now uses the image palette
- if it's small enough
- - $img->arc() now calls i_circle_aa() if a complete circle is
- being drawn in a plain color
- - image based fills
- - unsharp mask
- - make i_conv() clamp the bottom end of the samples range too
- (makes it useful for sharpening)
- - adjust ascender/descender values for FT1.x to avoid losing
- descenders (specifically the bottom of "g" in ImUgly.ttf or
- arial.ttf at 14pixels)
- - added tga.c to read targa images
- - added i_bumpmap_complex to do more accurate bumpmapping
- - added an image type with doubles as samples
- - change i_copy() and i_sametype() to handle double/sample images
- - added basic POD to trans2.c
- - transform2 now uses the error interface

- - tiff reading now uses the error stack
- - use the error stack value from reading bmp files
- - fix an error message in bmp.c
- - added has_chars() method to Imager::Font::FreeType2
- - freetype 2 bounding box function didn't know UTF8 (doh!)
- - write paletted images as paletted to tiff
- - initialize counter for packing 4 bit data
- - don't allocate hashboxes as locals since it overflows the
- stack by default in Darwin

- rather than using whatever strange translation FT2 happens to
- pick
- - modify the FT1 font code to use the first encoding as a default
- if we don't find a unicode encoding
- - use the glyph bbox to calculate the glyph bitmaps for rendering
- with FT1 rather than the global ascender/descender. This helps
- with fonts that have broken metrics.
- - fix calculation of descender for FT2, it was calculating the
- minimum decent rather than the maximum for the characters in
- the string
- - didn't set default for bounding_box() utf8 parameter (caused a
- warning when calling bounding_box() on a FT2 font with no utf8
- parameter)
- - Added lib/Imager/Draw.pod documentation of primitives.
- - Added lib/Imager/Transformations.pod, some docs of simple transforms.
- - Added lib/Imager/ImageTypes.pod, draft of ImageType pod.
- - Added lib/Imager/Filters.pod, draft of Filters pod.
- - Added lib/Imager/Engines.pod, draft of Engines pod.
- - added getpixel() and setpixel() methods
- - added Artur's OSX dlload() emulation, with minor changes
- - modified _color() to work around a 5.6.0 bug
- - replaced old gif options with tags
- - we now log which memory block is being freed before giving
- an error on it being re-freed
- - fixed stupid bug in deleting tags
- - fixed minor pod errors involving >

- - difference() wasn't setting an alpha channel when the input
- image didn't have one
- - improve crop() documentation, see
- http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?lastnode_id=155767&node_id=155428
- - handle the first "buggy giflib" test more portably. Previously
- it used fork() which caused problems on systems that didn't have
- a real fork().

- file. For now we'll just drop the warnings in the bit bucket.
- (Ticket #1513)
- - the code to read multiple tiffs didn't handle files with more
- than five images correctly, causing a memory overrun.
- - fix some minor test code hiccups

- - made the i_foo_bbox() interface more expandable by using
- symbolic constants for the sizes and array offsets
- - added a / character to the ExistenceTest.foo fonts that
- overlaps the right side of the character cell, to test the
- advance width reporting.
- - added advance width to the i_foo_bbox() interface, and
- implemented it for FT2, FT1 and Type 1
- - Imager::Font::bounding_box() now returns an Imager::Font::BBox

- - implemented $font->align() text output method, for simple output
- of aligned text
- - created Imager::Font::Wrap::wrap_text to perform simple text
- wrapping
- - FT1, FT2 and T1 fonts now support the face_name method
- - FT1, FT2 and T1 now support the glyph_names() method
- - Debian woody supplied FT2.0.9, which didn't support
- FT_Has_PS_Names(), so we use the FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES() macro
- instead.
- - some older FT1 don't define TT_MS_LANGID_ENGLISH_GENERAL,
- which we use, define it if freetype doesn't.
- - Added extra options to rubthrough() so only a subpart of
- source image is used.
- - the image fills didn't handle filling with source images of
- less than four channels correctly
- - added comment support the postfix transform2() expression
- parser
- - transform2() can now produce images with other than 3 channels.
- - added a correct T_AVREF input mapping to the typemap to
- simplify parameter lists
- - shut off one of the align subtests in the ft2 test. The triggering
- is likely an ft2 bug.
- - removed some half written scaling optimization code.
- - added /sw/lib and /sw/include to the Makefile.PL code for osX.

-
-0.43_01 Fri 8 Oct 2004
- - only call FT_Get_Postscript_Name() on FT 2.0.6 and later
- - put the IM_LIBPATH and IM_INCPATH values first in the search
- path so the builder gets their local versions if desired rather
- than the system versions they might be trying to avoid
- - document the exp() and log() transform2() functions
- - document the constants normally set by transform2().
- - refer the user to appropriate documents in the example in
- Imager.pm
- - change the list of documents in Imager.pm to move the document
- names out of the =item lines so we can make them into links
- - the scale() method now produces a warning when called in
- void context.
- - font.c now only uses the defined T1Lib error codes
- - update ppport.h and remove the duplicate definitions from
- Imager.xs. Had to mangle ppport.h to prevent duplicate global
- function definitions.
- - newer versions of tifflib require that all of the function
- pointers passed to TIFFClientOpen be non-NULL, the mmap() and
- munmap() pointers were always NULL and the sizeproc was
- sometimes NULL.
- - there would be a link or load time error on m_init_log() if
- Imager was built with IM_NOLOG, fixed by renamed init_log()
- to m_init_log() in log.c (thanks to Takumi Yamani)
- - moved some variable definitions to the right place
- - the Win32 font driver bounding box function now returns the
- right number of values (both thanks to Takumi Yamani)
- - the Win32 font driver now uses DEFAULT_CHARSET rather than
- ANSI_CHARSET are the lfCharSet value for the LOGFONT,
- as suggested by Takumi Yamani.
- - fontfiles/ExistenceTest.{pfb,ttf} weren't marked as
- binary in the CVS repository (caused test failures if you
- built from CVS on Win32)
- - Makefile.PL should now handle INCLUDE or LIB with spaces in them
- correctly on Win32.
- - the pnm reader read maxval for ppm/pgm files and then ignored it,
- it's now validated (0 < maxval < 65536) and used to scale
- samples. Note that binary ppm/pgm files (P6/P5) with maxval >
- 255 result in an error, since I didn't want to add new features
- just yet, just get the code that's there working correctly.
- Thanks to Elthek on rhizo for reporting this and help in
- tracking it down.
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7465
- - added a bunch of tests for reading pnm files.
- - previously, if you supplied to_paletted and empty color map
- and set make_colors to 'none', quant_translate() would segfault.
- This was because it was making the reasonable assumption that
- you'd have colors to map to. quant_translate() now checks there
- is at least one color and return NULL if there isn't.
- - i_img_to_pal() now does error checking of the value returned by
- quant_translate().
- - Imager::to_paletted() now checks for success/failure of
- i_img_to_pal() correctly and does appropriate error handling.
- - i_writegif_low() did no error checking on the result of
- quant_translate(), it now does
- - we now test that trying to write a GIF image with no palette
- allowable by the quant options is a failure.
- - Imager::write() was doing nothing with the result of the call
- to i_writegif_gen(), in particular it wasn't returning () on
- failure.
- - added tests for paletted image handling and the methods
- specific to those images
- - the XS for i_setcolors() was missing the OUTPUT clause for
- RETVAL, and hence wasn't returning failure on failure.
- - supplying a sufficiently small scaling value could make the
- scale() method return an image with zero height or width.
- Several of the above together resolve
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7467
- - the void context warning for scale() now includes the callers
- filename/line (instead of the default of Imager.pm line 15xx)
- - Imager->new will now return undef if the dimensions or number of
- channels specified for an image are out of range. An error
- message can be retrieved with Imager->errstr.
- - added the C<builtin> color specifier and the
- Imager::Color::Table class which defines those colors.
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2593
- - added the equals() method to Imager::Color.
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2238
- - prevent a test warning introduced by the above
- - the rotate() and matrix_transform() methods now accept a 'back'
- parameter specifying a background color. This is only used
- where there is no source data (think of the corners around an
- image rotated 45 degrees) and it not combined with transparent
- pixels from the source image.
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6140
- - removed a warning generated by the new matrix_transform() test
- - added a method index to Imager.pm
- - corrected "flood fill" to "flood_fill" in Imager/Draw.pod
- - removed compose() method from Imager/Transformations.pod since
- it isn't implemented yet
- - the image resulting from a crop is now the same type as the
- source image (paletted vs direct, bits/sample)
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7578
- - the parameters to crop() weren't handled correctly in most
- cases other than supplying left,top,right,bottom.
- - clarified the documentation for crop() providing more detail
- and more examples
- - the edges of the cropped area are now cropped against the
- edges of the source image
- - cropping to zero width/height is treated as an error (no
- image is returned and $src->errstr has a message)
- Resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7581
- - built 0.43_01 for testing

-0.43_02 Mon 26 Oct 2004
-
-- the changes to scale() had some problems with integer vs floating point
- calculations (only caught in tests under perl 5.8.5 <sigh>)
-- the FT2 glyph_names() method didn't do correct error handling
- when the string parameter wasn't supplied
-- i_ft2_glyph_name() accepted only an unsigned char as the
- character code to get the name for, which meant it
- didn't work for unicode characters \x{100} or above
-- the XS for i_ft2_glyph_name() had a similar problem
-- added NameTest.ttf to be used in checking unicode glyph
- names
-- added reliable_only optional parameter to the glyph_names()
- method so you can ignore theresult of FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names()
-- handle errors given by i_ft2_glyph_name() a bit more
- correctly
-- the FT1 glyph_names() method didn't do correct error handling
- when the string parameter wasn't supplied
-- some memory allocated when creating a callback IO object (io_new_cb)
- wasn't being released (detected with valgrind)
-- the testtools.pl match[nx]() functions escapes the test string on
- test failure a bit better
-- the XS code for i_tt_glyph_name() used unsigned char to store a
- unicode character when it should have used unsigned long.
-- the XS code for i_t1_glyph_name() used unsigned char to store a
- unicode character when it should have used unsigned long.
-- resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7949
-- the type 1 glyph_names() method didn't do correct error handling
- when the string parameter wasn't supplied
-- renamed io.h to imio.h to prevent problems building under cygwin.
- resolve https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7948
-- i_writegif_low() wasn't setting the returned global palette, which
- meant a rubbish palette was returned to the user (detected with valgrind)
-- built 0.43_02 for testing
-
-0.43_03 Wed 8 Dec 2004
-
-- change the "double-include" protection macro that imio.h uses.
-- updated download locations for the various libraries that Imager
- depends on. Added some advice for cygwin.
-- more information on gif library versions in README and Makefile.PL
-- creating an image where the size of the allocated image buffer would
- overflow an integer would cause too small a buffer to be allocated.
- This could potentially be a security hole.
- partly resolves https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8213
-- set i_format to jpeg for jpeg files and test for it
-- set i_format to png when reading png files and test for it
-- i_yres was being set to the xres when reading a png file
-- added many bad BMP files to test various code paths in bmp.c, and
- made many minor fixes to bmp.c to make them work:
- - it was possible for various types of read failures to SEGV, both
- as NULL pointer dereferences and buffer overflows
- - some errors, like palettes being too large for the number of bits
- per pixel, were not being caught
- - failing to read all of a packed data structure would not cause
- a read failure
- - invalid compression types were not always caught
- - error messages are more consistent (still not always great messages,
- but one step at a time)
-- added bmp_compression_name, bmp_used_colors, bmp_filesize, bmp_bit_count
- tags on reading a BMP file
-- added tools/imager to the distribution. This is still very
- experimental and untested. Patches welcome, if you write tests to go
- with them.
-- the BMP reader now validates the bfOffBits value from the BMP header
- and skips to that offset before reading image data. Previously this
- value was read but otherwise ignored.
-- added --palette action to tools/imager
-- i_img_pal_new() now releases the image object memory if creation
- fails.
-- set i_format to gif when reading gif files and test for it
-- set i_format to pnm when reading pnm files and test for it
-- set i_format to tga when reading tga files and test for it
-- handle image creation failures when reading tga files
-- set i_format to tiff when reading tiff images and test for it
-- handle image creation failures when reading tiff files
-- test t/t35ttfont.t no longer requires TTFONTTEST to be set (and
- hasn't for a long time,) removed that requirement from README
-- updated home page URLs throughout the .pods
-- added information on reporting bugs to the SUPPORT section of Imager.pm
-- regops.perl now sorts the dumped data structure to produce minimal diffs
-- quant.c now checks for integer overflow allocating its image data
-- i_readraw_wiol() now checks for image creation failure
-- i_readrgb_wiol() now checks for image creation failure
-- i_writergb_wiol() was an empty stub, it now pushes an error message
- and explicitly returns failure.
-- i_readrgb_wiol() now sets i_format to rgb.
-- set i_format to raw when reading tga files and test for it
-- document i_format tag
-- some tests were using $Config{ivsize} when they should have been
- using $Config{intsize}
- Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8645
-- tools/imager has been removed from the MANIFEST, it's way too late
- to test/debug for 0.44.
-- image.h had no prototype for i_ft2_bbox_r() and it was being called
- from Imager.xs
-- giflib 4.1.3 still doesn't have all the bugs fixed, update the notes
- in README and in the buggy_giflib.txt file that t105gif.t produces
-- make the inclusion of NO_META dependent on the version of EU::MM.
- I was going to include a META.yml but EU::MM's generation is too
- simplistic (and misses the leading document header too). For now
- I'll leave it out.
-- built 0.43_03 for testing
-
-0.44 Wed 15 Dec 2004
-- modify the default include directories list to include the location
- FreeBSD keeps freetype1 headers after the freetype2 locations.
- This ensures that the -I options are generated with freetype2
- locations first, so that those directories are searched before
- the freetype1 directories. This prevents problems compiling
- font.c on FreeBSD.
- Resolves: http://rt-cpan.fsck.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=1723
-- finish off a sentence in the "Producing an image from a CGI script"
- example in Imager::Files
-- method index didn't include errstr()
-- document that you don't want the FT2 freetype.h in the include path

-0.44_01 Tue 24 May 2005
-- the plugins Makefile has long produced an error after all tests were
- complete on Win32, finally tracked down why
-- Makefile.PL now checks the directories specified by $Config{locincpth}
- and $Config{loclibpth} for includes and libraries respectively.
- Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2942
-- we were undefing the wrong macro (used as an include guard) when
- building the error code translation function for freetype 2. This
- meant most errors came out as numbers.
-- add a note to the README on how to get font suitcases and dfont files
- working on OS X.
-- add dfont to the list of extensions supported by ft2
-- document Imager::Font->new()'s index parameter
-- added concept index to Imager.pm's POD
-- the gradgen filter now does the same color value conversion that
- Imager's drawing functions do.
-- added trivial multiple master support via the FT2 driver
-- added .pcf and .pcf.gz to the list of extensions supported by ft2
-- the tiff reader now puts warning messages produced during reading into
- the i_warning tag.
- Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8722
-- the i_xres and i_yres tags are now stored in a resolution similar
- to their source.
- Resolves: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8520
-- added tiff_resolutionunit_name tag when reading tiff files
-- Makefile.PL now attempts to use freetype-config to configure freetype 2
- and pkg-config to configure libpng.
-- avoid complaining about include/lib directories we pull from
- perl's config or we have built-in
-- Makefile.PL now builds imconfig.h with #defines for libraries
- present (and for the GIF library version) rather than putting them
- into CFLAGS
-- scanning for required include files is now down by directory rather
- than by file, using -e to check for the existence for a file rather than
- doing an eq against every filename in the directory.
-- previously we only checked a candidate include directory for freetype.h
- to consider it a valid FT1.x include directory. We now check if it
- contains fterrors.h too, if it does, then it's from a FT2 installation
- and we ignore it.
-- Makefile.PL now accepts command-line options to set include and library
- directories and to enable/disable drivers.
-- added simple examples to most of the filters documented in
- Imager::Filters
-- explicitly document there are no PNG specific tags.
-- more examples in Imager::Draw
-- minor cleanup of Imager::Fill
-- eliminate unused variables and static functions
-- simplify some XS code by adding another typemap entry
-- the right-side bearing used to adjust the final width wasn't being
- calculated correctly, this would cause the bounding_box() function for
- freetype 2.x to return a larger than expected text width.
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11291
-- add scaleX/scaleY to the method index and gives them some examples
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11328
-- call read() instead of open() in the example code in Imager.pm,
- and mention that open() is an alias for read().
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11431
-- added reference list of crop() parameters.
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11430
-- reading a tga image with an idstring of 128 or more bytes would result
- in an allocation error, if the platform char type was signed
-- tests now check that tga tags are set
-- calling the read() method for a format not included in the Imager build,
- for example, JPEG with no libjpeg installed, would crash with an
- undefined function error (modified by DynaLoaders dependence on
- AutoLoader.)
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=9618
-- some test scripts have been modified to use Test::More, which is now
- included under the t directory. Eventually all will be modified to use
- Test::More and the duplicates in t/testtools.pl will be removed
-- the convert, crop, rotate, copy, matrix_transform, to_paletted, to_rgb8,
- scaleX and scaleY methods now warn when called in void context.
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=9672
-- correct email addresses in the README file, and include bug reporting
- information there too
-- added README for samples directory, describes interleave.pl and
- anaglyph.pl to start.
-- the XS for the internal i_glin() function wasn't copying the pixel
- values across to the returned color objects.
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11860
-- Imager::Cookbook wasn't included in the MANIFEST
-- added samp-form.cgi and samp-image.cgi to the samples directory to
- demonstrate displaying a generated image on a HTML page.
-- Makefile.PL now adds rules to generate a suitable META.yml to the
- generated Makefile.
-- added sample code for handling images uploaded via a HTML form.
-- saving a GIMP gradiant file with Imager::Fountain->save has always been
- broken. Fixed it and added tests.
-- newer versions of GIMP add a line to gradient files before the
- segment count giving a descriptive name of the gradient.
- Imager::Fountain can now read and write such gradient files. The
- interface is a bit indirect, but I'd like to preserve
- Imager::Fountain as a blessed array ref for now.
-- the segments parameter supplied to the fountain filter and the
- fountain fill contructor now accepts color names or other
- descriptions as other functions do.
-- fix a few compiler warnings
-- document the Imager::Font::BBox advance_width() method
-- Imager::Font::BBox advance_width() method was falling back to
- the wrong value when the font driver's low level function
- didn't return the advance width.
-- the FT 1.x was comparing versus an uninitialized variable when
- checking the end of string when calculating the right side bearing
- used to adjust pos_width for glyphs that overlap the right side of the
- advance width.
-- Imager::Font::BBox objects now have right_bearing() and display_width()
- methods. Hopefully this and the advance_width() method fills out
- the Imager bounding box interface to a useful state.
- Implemented for all four font drivers.
-- Win32 font bounding_box() method now supports the advance width
- and right bearing values.
-- Imager::Matrix2d->rotate() would only rotate around the supplied
- centre point if both 'x' and 'y' were non-zero.
-- the internal i_tags_get_string() function now acts correctly for
- integer only tags.
-- the FT1.x driver now supports the align parameter correctly.
- Tests were added to each driver to check correct handling of the align
- parameter.
-- the Win32 font driver bounding_box() method now puts accurate values
- in the ascent and descent values, previously they were set to the
- font ascent/descent rather than the values specific to the string.
-- supplying align=>0 to the win32 font driver string() function
- now aligns in the same way as the other drivers.
-- removed the bug reporting email address to prevent spammers stripping
- it. The URL is still there and if someone knows how rt.cpan.org works
- they can still figure out the email.
-- the internal function used to probe file formats if the type
- parameter wasn't passed to the read() method would produce
- diagnostics on stdout, precluding use in web applications. Silenced
- it.
-- the setcolors() had a fencepost error making it impossible to
- use it to set the last color in the palette.
- http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=12676
-- fix the filter examples in Imager::Filter so they don't indicate that
- a new image is returned (the filter() method works in-place)
-- add examples for the fountain filter
-- prevent warnings from Makefile.PL when there's no libraries found
-- Imager no longer assumes that MSVC is the only native Win32
- compiler, MinGW can be used to build Imager.
-- fixed an inverted condition checking the giflib version, and
- replaced a manual test skip in t/t105gif.t
-- add tests to exercise hatch fills for floating images. This code is
- mis-generated with the gcc 4.0 that ships with OS X 10.4
-- work around junk that pkg-config sends to stderr on FreeBSD 4.10
-- testimg/base.jpg was missing from the MANIFEST, causing test failures
-- use a temp file to avoid messing with echo on Win32 when building
- META.yml
-- add some Mac OS X notes to the README

-- loading filter DLLs/DSOs had an off-by-one error allocating a buffer
- for the filename of the library (does anyone use this functionality?)
-- remove old #if 0 code from Imager.xs
-- convert t/t15color.t to Test::More

- Resolves: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=14804
-- renamed lib/Imager/Cookbook.pm to lib/Imager/Cookbook.pod - CPANTS
- complains about it not having 'use strict;'

- than the a consolidated image. If you want the old behaviour supply
- C<< gif_consolidate=>1 >> to the read() method. Older versions of
- Imager will accept this parameter and produce the same result.
-- you can now supply a page parameter to read() to read a given page
- from a GIF file.

-- arc(..., fill=> ...) wasn't handling concave areas correctly
-- arc(..., color=>...) wasn't properly filling it's area
-- added experimental antialiased support to arc()
-- the order of the returned values for Imager::Font's align() method
- was incorrect.
-- check the correct directory when adding the cygwin Win32 API include
- path (Makefile.PL). This was a later response to #16094
- Resolves: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16094

- - moved the typedefs that support the typemap from Imager.xs to
- imperl.h
- - set the global callbacks hook in the Imager.xs BOOT section
- - API cleanup:
- - define i_tags_set(), i_tags_setn() - we might not allow multiple
- values for a tag in the future
- - i_copy() now returns a new image instead of doing horrible inplace
- things to an existing image

- to include documentation for each API function.
- - convert dyntest and mandelbrot dynfilts into XS modules (too easy)
- - simple Imager::CountColor example

-- minor changes for older perl/ExtUtils::MM
-- deal with freetype-config --cflags returning the directories
- in the wrong order (Freetype 2.1.4 and earlier)
- Thanks to David Wheeler for his help in tracking this down.
-- reword and provide an example for non-proportionally scaling an
- image. Wording from Simon Cozens.
-- error messages when writing TIFF images were always
- 'Could not write to buffer', more useful messages are now reported.
-- error messages when writing PNM images were always
- 'unable to write pnm image', more useful messages are now reported.

+Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
+
+Imager 0.64 - unreleased
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - check that the result of fileno($fh) is defined rather than simply
+ true when read() or write() is supplied with an fh parameter.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35139
+
+ - i_scale_axis() wasn't checking the result of i_img_new_ch()
+ resulting in a SIGSEGV when attempting to scale an image to a size
+ too large to fit in memory. This is a NULL pointer access issue,
+ not a buffer overflow.
+ Added a check for the failure.
+ scale_calculate() (and hence scale()) will now fail if any of the
+ scale size parameters are a reference.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35172
+
+Imager 0.63 - 7 April 2008
+===========
+
+This release primarily contains changes to improve ease of use -
+rather than you having to convert images to the appropriate number of
+channels, Imager handles it internally. How to handle drawing colors
+and the default combine mode is a thornier problem left for some other
+release.
+
+ - the font libraries are now only initialized when needed.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28825
+
+ - moved the imtoc.perl code into Imager::Preprocess
+
+ - paste() and rubthrough() now adapt the source image data to the
+ destination, so you can now safely paste/rubthrough from greyscale
+ images to color images or back, or from alpha channel images to
+ noalpha channels or back.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30908
+
+ - rubthrough() now falls back to pasting when the source doesn't have
+ an alpha channel. This effectively treats the source as having a
+ max alpha channel, the right thing to do.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29944
+
+ - re-worked most of the area filling code to use a common set of
+ functions when filling.
+ Corrected normal combine mode.
+ Rewrote most of the combine modes to match the way the SVG draft
+ defines them with respect to a translucent source and destination.
+ Added tests for translucent source and destination.
+ Added tests to check 8-bit/sample and double/sample combines work
+ similarly.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29879
+ - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a JPEG file will now write that
+ image as if composited against a background, black by default,
+ overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29876
+
+ - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a PGM/PPM file will now write
+ that image as if composited against a background, black by default,
+ overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30074
+
+ - writing a 2 or 4 channel image to a BMP file will now write that
+ image as if composited against a background, black by default,
+ overridable with the i_background tag/parameter.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30075
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Matrix2d->translate() now only requires one of the x or y
+ parameters.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29937
+
+ - mixing qtype scaling now sets all channels of a pixel to zero if
+ the pixel has zero coverage (zero alpha). This should produce more
+ compressible output files.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32324
+
+ - removed the pointless #! line from lib/Imager/Font/Wrap.pm
+ Noticed when I saw:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166254
+ I'm not changing the #! lines of the sample code, since it's sample
+ code, not intended for installation.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33408
+
+ - some TGA images weren't being detected correctly as TGA images
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32925
+
+ - handling of the left-over bit for 16-bit/pixel TGA images has been
+ changed to match the behaviour of the GIMP. Previously the bit
+ being set was treated as an opaque pixel, but one user reported a
+ problem with loading such an image. I haven't been able to find any
+ tools beyond the GIMP that handle alpha-channel 16-bit TGAs, so
+ I'll match it's behaviour. See issue 114913 in the GIMP's
+ bugzilla.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32926
+
+Imager 0.62 - 10 December 2007
+===========
+
+ - Makefile.PL now expands ~/path supplied to --incpath or --libpath
+ to /path under your home directory.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29484
+
+ - the old dynaload code used Mach API functions to load dynamic
+ libraries on Mac OS X. These APIs have been deprecated in OS X
+ 10.5 and were causing some build problems.
+ So henceforth Imager uses the dlopen() family of functions, and you
+ will need version 10.3 or later of OS X.
+
+ - added the det() function to the transform2() engine.
+ added the sample quad_to_square.pl
+ Courtesy Richard Fairhurst.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=31244
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - samples/gifscale.pl sourced the base value for gif_top from
+ gif_left.
+ Thanks to Eleneldil G. Arilou for pointing this out.
+
+ - t/t82inline.t no longer loads B at runtime, to work around a bug
+ in some 5.005_0[45] installations.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30508
+
+ - work around Module::Depends::Intrusive bug #21229
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30520
+
+ - the hardinvert filter no-longer inverts the alpha channel.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30002
+
+ - the hardinvert filter now supports large samples
+
+Imager 0.61_02 - 28 November 2007
+==============
+
+ - major TIFF support re-work
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20329
+
+ - added a C level image interface for accessing samples from 1-32
+ bits, exposed this at the perl level in getsamples()
+
+ - the conv filter now works at floating point precision for high bit
+ images
+
+ - added is_bilevel method to test whether an image should be written as
+ a bilevel image if the image format supports it.
+
+ - added -log-stderr as an Imager import list option
+
+ - added some important types to Imager::APIRef
+
+ - added test_image_double() to Imager::Test
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Fountain couldn't read GIMP gradient files with 10 or more
+ segments
+
+ - the scale() method with qtype mixing now handles images with an
+ alpha channel correctly.
+
+ - fixed a broken link from the "animated GIF" entry in the concept index.
+ Thanks to Slaven Rezic.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30889
+
+ - on some perl's the infix expression parser test would fail due to
+ actions in the grammar returning false. Made sure all actions return
+ a true value.
+ Thanks to Richard Fairhurst for spending a lot of time in tracking
+ down this problem.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29562
+
+Imager 0.61 - 5 November 2007
+===========
+
+ - added samples/gifscale.pl, which adjusts the screen size/position tags
+ when scaling an animated gif
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27591
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - correct handling of sz in matrix_transform() - this should allow
+ perspective type transformations to work now.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29936
+
+ - prevent a cast to integer warning on x64 builds in datatypes.c
+ also fixed some other type warnings
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30204
+
+ - some sub-directory tests depended on files produced by the parent
+ directory tests
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30203
+
+ - Imager::Font::Wrap doesn't correctly set savepos
+ thanks to Nikita Dedik and Eleneldil G. Arilou for reporting this.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29771
+
+ - test 171 in t/t01introvert.t was failing on perls configured to
+ use long double.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29413
+
+ - the code for the transform2() uminus operator was missing a break.
+ Added tests for better code coverage of the ops.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29296
+
+ - the SGI RLE compression code could overflow its compression buffer
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30334
+
+ - the 32-bit output function used by the SGI code only handled values
+ under 0x10000. This was most noticable when writing large RLE images.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30335
+
+ - validate chan_count for chans == NULL for each of the i_gsamp()
+ implementations.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28985
+
+ - attempt to work around the test failure at
+ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/09/msg650810.html
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29562
+
+ - improve the error messages produced when attempting to read or write
+ an unknown image file format.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30103
+
+ - improve the transform2() documentation
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29267
+
+ - correctly generate the author key in META.yml
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30377
+
+ - correctly blend a rotated (or matrix_transformed()) image when
+ performing interpolation in the presence of an alpha channel.
+ Also corrected the centring of the rotated image on the output
+ image.
+
+Imager 0.60 - 30 August 2007
+===========
+
+ - Finished/rewrote Arnar's old SGI RGB file format support, so Imager
+ now has full SGI RGB image format, including RLE and 16-bit/sample
+ images.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8666
+
+ - logging functions are now available in the API
+
+ - applied Gabriel Vasseur's patch
+ added documentation, further tests, and support for greyscale images
+ Obviously problems are my fault :)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28142
+
+ - the mask for ICO/CUR images is now applied as an alpha channel to
+ the returned image. For the old behaviour, supply ico_masked => 0
+ to read() or read_multi(). This should be less confusing when
+ using Imager as a general image processor.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29001
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - in some cases it's possible for giflib/libungif to return color
+ indexes outside the range of colors defined by the image's palette.
+ We now expand the palette to match the indexes used.
+ Thanks to Gabriel Vasseur for reporting this.
+
+ - fixed various memory leaks that could occur when failing to read png,
+ jpeg, bmp or tga files.
+
+ - to avoid confusion, channels not present in the image are returned as
+ zero by getscanline(). This has no effect on the C level i_glin()
+ and i_glinf() API functions which continue to not set the unused
+ channels.
+
+ - the convert() method now returns an image of the same sample size as
+ the source image.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28492
+
+ - remove repeated text in Imager::Files
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27589
+
+ - be even more explicit that scale() and friends don't modify the source
+ image, but return a new image.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28570
+
+ - improve the error message from errstr() when you try to load a font
+ for which the driver hasn't been built in Imager.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27571
+
+ - transparency is now enabled by default when writing GIF images
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27615
+
+ - Imager would not load on Windows 98
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27653
+
+Imager 0.59 - 14 June 2007
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - fixes a regression introduced by the fixes for RT 11972
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27546
+
+ - cropping outside the image would return an Imager object with
+ no low-level image object, instead of returning false.
+ Fixed by: Philip Gwyn (Leolo)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27509
+
+Imager 0.58 - 16 May 2007
+===========
+
+No significant changes from 0.57_01.
+
+Imager 0.57_01 - 11 May 2007
+==============
+
+ - added to_rgb16 to produce a 16-bit/sample version of an image
+
+ - improve freetype 1.x text output efficiency
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - search another place for rgb.txt, and check all the places
+ Imager::Color checks when deciding whether to skip testing it
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26064
+
+ - use a convolution kernel size based on the stddev rather than a
+ fixed size when performing a gaussian blur
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25645
+
+ - document the difference() method's mindist parameter, and debug it.
+
+ - put the Imager release number in the Inline::C generated code to
+ regenerate Inline code when a new release of Imager is installed.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26278
+
+ - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 1.x driver.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
+
+ - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the T1lib driver.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
+
+ - reworked library probing, we can now set more than one probe
+ function for a library. Disabled the default (non-freetype-config)
+ library probe and added an extra probe function that searches for
+ both ft2build.h and whatever it includes, and adds -I as needed.
+ Hopefully this will fix build problems like
+ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/05/msg472281.html
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26086
+

+===========
+
+This is a maintenence release fixing a security issue in Imager.
+
+ - CRITICAL: a specially crafted compressed BMP file can cause a buffer
+ overflow in malloced memory. There will be further discussion of
+ this issue in the ticket below.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26811
+ CVE-2007-2459 CVE-2007-2413
+ The descriptions at cve.mitre.org varied in quality, please see the
+ ticket at rt.cpan.org for a more accurate description of the issue.
+
+Imager 0.56 - 1 Apr 2007
+===========
+
+ - added support for reading 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
+
+ - added support for writing 16-bit/sample PGM/PPM images
+
+ - improved performance of reading PBM/PGM/PPM images
+
+ - added support for writing PBM images if the image is paletted and
+ contains only black and white
+
+ - added a new make_colors value - "mono"
+
+ - switched from the svn log Changes to a manual Changes to reduce
+ noise
+
+ - new sample code - samples/flasher.pl
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - CRITICAL: the "Imager" typemap entry (not used by Imager itself)
+ was returning an image object with an extra reference, this
+ resulted in a memory leak.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24992
+
+ - fix rendering on alpha channel images for the FreeType 2.x driver
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11972
+
+ - reading bmp files now consitently handles short reads. You can now
+ supply a parameter to treat a short read as successful and set
+ i_incomplete
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8426
+
+ - previously, reading ASCII PBM files required spaces between samples,
+ even though the format doesn't require that
+
+ - improved documentation of the unsharpmask filter (I hope)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25531
+
+ - force flushing of the output from i_tt_dump_names() and test output
+ in t/t35ttfont.t to prevent output from being mixed up.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24859
+
+ - rewrite a conditional expression as an if() to hopefully work around
+ a bug in the pre-4.0 GCC Apple shipped with OS X 10.4.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25561
+
+ - avoid Data::Dumper in regops.perl to support older releases of perl

+
+Imager 0.55 - 16 Dec 2006
+===========
+
+This is primarily a bug fix release.
+
+Note: Test::More is now a pre-requisite for Imager and is no longer bundled.
+
+There is one new feature:
+
+ - the Win32 font driver now supports UTF8 (RT 22166)
+ http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22166
+
+Several bugs were fixed:
+
+ - the string() method would not output the string "0"
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
+
+ - fills.c was failing to compile on Solaris 10 (compiler unknown)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21944
+
+ - the gif_disposal and gif_user_input tags weren't being read from
+ the file correctly
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22192
+
+ - gif.c was failing to build under MSVC
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23922
+
+ - in some cases strings passed to the string() method were treated as
+ terminated by NUL (chr 0)
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21770
+
+ - on "MSWin32" perl builds we now link to -lzlib instead of -lz since
+ that's the default build name for zlib on Win32.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23064
+
+ - search $Config{incpath} for headers too, which we should have been
+ doing all along.
+
+Win32 font driver fixes:
+
+ - the global descent value from bounding box was the wrong sign
+ http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/3276
+
+ - if the first or last glyph overflowed the left or right side of the
+ advance width they would be clipped
+
+
+Imager 0.54 - 14 Sep 2006
+===========
+
+This is primarily a feature release:
+
+ - a new qtype value 'mixing' has been added to the scale()
+ method. This is faster than 'normal', slower than 'preview'. This
+ is based on the method used by pnmscale, and seems to produce less
+ blurry results than normal.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20677
+
+ - the rubthrough() method can now render onto images with an alpha
+ channel.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20678
+
+ - the read_multi() method now falls back to calling doing a single
+ image read via the read() method and write_multi() will now fall
+ back to calling write() if a single image is supplied. This means
+ you can simply call the read_multi() or write_multi() functions
+ without having to check if the type is formatted by that method.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19457
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19458
+
+ - the GIF loop extension can now be written. If you don't have
+ libungif/giflib 4.1.4 (or some distribution's bugfixed equivalent) you
+ should upgrade.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21185
+
+ - getscanline() and setscanline() can now read/write palette index
+ based data from/to the image for paletted images, by setting type to
+ 'index'.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20338
+
+ - we no longer hassle you to disable GIF support
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20687
+
+ - minor documentation fixes
+
+
+Imager 0.53 - 26 Jul 2006
+===========
+
+This is a bugfix release.
+
+Some test code was left in a code path not covered by the test
+suite. A test was added to cover this code path and the test code was
+removed.
+http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20705
+
+
+Imager 0.52 - 25 Jul 2006
+===========
+
+This is primarily a feature release, but contains a fair few bug
+fixes, new features:
+
+ - ability to read and write MS Windows ICO and CUR files
+
+ - you can now add file format plugins to support new file formats
+
+ - add POD coverage tests
+
+ - setcolors() and addcolors() now accept color names and so on
+ instead of requiring Imager::Color objects.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20056
+
+ - flood_fill() can now fill to a specified border color instead of
+ just to the area the same color as the seed.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19618
+
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't converting UTF8 to ascii when
+ calculating the advance width.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20554
+
+ - bounding_box for the T1 driver wasn't including leading and
+ trailing spaces in the bounding box as the other drivers did, it also
+ produced strange results for empty strings or strings containing only
+ spaces
+
+ - when reading CMYK jpeg images they were being transferred to the
+ image object as is, producing a four channel image. It only looked ok
+ due to an old still unfixed Photoshop bug. We now convert from the
+ inverted CMYK that photoshop (and Corel for example) produce into RGB.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20416
+
+ - reading a CYMK TIFF would result in a 4 channel image, reading any
+ image with more than 4 channels (eg. RGB with 2 alpha channels) would
+ result in an error.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=20415
+
+ - added /usr/local/include to the default include search path, since
+ we were already searching /usr/local/lib for libraries.
+
+And various minor fixes and documentation updates.
+
+
+Imager 0.51 - 23 Apr 2006
+===========
+
+ - fix a validation bug when processing JPEG EXIF data that can cause
+ a crash
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18496
+
+ - fix mis-processing of the src_maxx and src_maxy parameters of the
+ paste() method
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18712
+
+ - fix a problem in Imager's "smart" handling of the color parameter
+ to various methods.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18561
+
+
+Imager 0.50 - 29 Mar 2006
+===========
+
+ - CRITICAL: fixes a segmentation fault from attempting to write a 2
+ or 4 channel image to jpeg or a 2 channel image to tga where the
+ output is an in-memeory buffer.
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18397
+
+ - fixes an incorrect pointer parameter in the PNG code
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18051
+
+ - skip Inline::C tests when building in a directory with spaces
+ http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18049
