Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
+ - TIFF: handle SampleFormat = 2 by translating the signed integer
+ values to unsigned by flipping their sign bits.
+
+ Handle SampleFormat = 3 where possible.
+
+ SampleFormat is ignored for paletted images.
+
+ Mixed SampleFormat are be handled incorrectly, since libtiff
+ returns only the first SampleFormat value, and an image with both
+ an alpha channel and SampleFormat = 2 for color channels probably
+ has a different SampleFormat for the alpha channel.

+
+Imager 0.96 - 19 May 2013
+===========
+
+ - rearrange Imager's test files.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84596
+
+ - Imager::Probe::_gcc_lib_paths now forces C locale.
+ A sufficiently recent gcc prints localized keys for the search
+ paths, which avoids that localization.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84963
+
+ - fix a pod error detected by Pod::Simple 3.27 and laterm and skip
+ pod tests unless AUTOMATED_TESTING or IMAGER_AUTHOR_TESTING is set
+ and true.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85262
+ reported by Andreas König
+
+ - add a test for unclosed POD in C source, and fix the errors it
+ found.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74875
+
+ - fix some spelling errors detected by the newer aspell in Debian
+ Wheezy.
+
+ - remove a trailing ' from lib/Imager/Font/Test.pm's POD
+ thanks to gregor herrmann <gregoa@debian.org>
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85413
+
+ - add a test for standard =head1 commands and fix the errors found
+
+Imager 0.95 - 19 Apr 2013
+===========
+
+ - handle the SVf_UTF8 flag correctly on magic strings passed to
+ Imager::IO's write() and raw_write() methods.
+ This may misbehave in perl 5.6.x since the UTF8 flag may not be
+ visible in the main SV after SvGETMAGIC().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83438
+
+ - document that bounding_box() ignores the transformation matrix
+ supplied to tranform() for fonts.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84106
+
+Imager 0.94_02 - 5 Apr 2013
+==============
+
+ - enable debug logging for the standard font tests
+
+ - skip the overloaded UTF-8 text output checks on 5.6.x and earlier,
+ due to a bug in that version of perl.
+
+ - don't test for read() failing on a write-only handle in 5.8.x and
+ earlier, this was fixed in change 862083f7e4 in perl.
+
+ - report the version of Inline found during testing (an attempt to
+ diagnose some intermittent failures.)
+
+Imager 0.94_01 - 2 Mar 2013
+==============
+
+ - NOTE: possibly backward incompatible:
+ support reading from/writing to perl filehandes that aren't raw
+ files.
+
+ This allows Imager's I/O to honour handles with layers such as
+ gzip, scalar file handles or tied file handles.
+
+ This is backward incompatible in that previous Imager would simply
+ use fileno() to retrieve the fd for the file and call write(2) etc
+ on it directly.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=78843
+
+ - moved most of README to lib/Imager/Install.pod which should make it
+ more accessible to the "web" generation, also significantly updated
+ and re-worked it.
+
+ - updated README's for the separately distributed modules to refer to
+ Imager::Install, and that they need -dev versions of packages
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=81265
+
+ - the JPEG test code now reports the compile-time library version
+
+ - avoid a possible compiler optimization issue on CentOS 5.9 i386 by
+ rearranging (and mildly optimizing) some code.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83212
+
+ - fix a POD error in Imager::Fill (detected on new Pod-Simple)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83434
+
+ - fix a broken link to Graphics::Magick
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=82743
+
+ - drawing text to a channel with FT2 would draw with random coverage
+ due to an uninitialized alpha channel.
+
+ - marked the function pointer underlying the mm_log() API with the
+ correct gcc magic and fixed the resulting warnings.
+
+ - fixed some other compiler warnings
+
+ - Imager::Font::W32 now properly reports text drawing errors
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70098
+
+ - handle the SVf_UTF8 flag correctly on magic (eg. overloaded)
+ strings passed as text to draw(), bounding_box(), has_chars(),
+ glyph_names() (where supported) in each of the font drivers.
+ This may misbehave in perl 5.6.x since the UTF8 flag may not be
+ visible in the main SV after SvGETMAGIC().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83438 (partial)
+
+Imager 0.94 - 15 Dec 2012
+=========================
+
+Variations on some of these changes were included in development
+releases.
+
+ - improved thread safety
+ - the internal error stack and log file handle are now in a per-thread
+ context object
+ - JPEG now captures IPTC information in a thread-safe way
+ - avoid globals where possible for warning capture in libtiff
+ - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe giflib
+ - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe tifflib
+ - use a mutex to avoid re-entering thread-unsafe T1Lib
+ - use a library handle per thread for freetype 2.
+ - use an engine handle per thread for freetype 1.x.
+ - originally these changes broke ABI compatibility, this has been
+ restored.
+
+ - clarify the return value of getpixel();
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=81198
+
+ - fixed a race condition in parallel testing for T1
+
+ - fixed a bug in handling yoff for untransformed image-based fills
+
+ - documentation improvements for Imager::Fill
+
+ - FT2: report the library version while testing.
+
+Imager 0.93 - 15 Oct 2012
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - previously a transparency enabled GIF write (the default) would
+ always use a GIF89a header even if none of the images were
+ transparent.
+
+ - previously the probe step for freetype-config would fail on cygwin
+
+ - catch an invalid matrix parameter to convert() instead of crashing
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79922
+
+ - remove the 16-bit/sample limitation from the documentation for
+ setsamples(), it hasn't applied for many releases.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79989
+
+ - don't copy setsamples() data parameter, it may be a large scalar
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79990
+
+ - clean up .dSYM directories generated performing probes on OS X
+ Mountain Lion.
+
+ - pass the --verbose command-line option through to Imager::Probe in
+ sub-module's Makefile.PLs
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75878
+
+Enhancements:
+
+ - support for giflib 5.0. (5.0.1 and later)
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79029
+ The giflib API Imager uses doesn't have a mechanism to set the
+ header version in 5.0.0.
+
+ - update the GIF library probe code to check for the new giflib 5.0.1
+ EGifSetGifVersion() function, and to check for the giflib 4.2.0
+ uninitialized gif89 bug.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79679
+ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3574283&group_id=102202&atid=631304
+
+ - avoid static variables when capturing IPTC data from JPEG files
+
+ - match Imager::Font;:T1's error message translations to those from
+ later versions of T1Lib.
+
+ - for libtiff versions that support extended warning handlers (3.8.0
+ or later), use them to avoid some global variables.
+
+ - note Image::ExifTool for better metadata support.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=79251
+
+Imager 0.92 - 14 Aug 2012
+===========
+
+ - giflib 4.2 eliminates the GIF_LIB_VERSION macro, handle that
+ correctly for both probing and runtime.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77672
+
+ - allow building JPEG/imexif.c on C89 compilers.
+
+ - allow building GIF/imgif.c on C89 compilers.
+
+Imager 0.91 - 4 Jun 2012
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - The size of rotated images is no longer rounded up so aggressively.
+ Added rounding to the linear interpolation done for rotate() and
+ matrix_transform() for 1 and 3 channel 8-bit images.
+ Adjusted the two tranlate matrices used to build the final rotation
+ matrix to use the distance between the outlier pixels rather than
+ the pixel dimensions (ie. dimension-1).
+ With all of this the output of rotate(degrees => 270) on an 8-bit
+ image exactly matches the output of rotate(right => 270).
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77063
+
+Other changes:
+
+ - eliminate the old IIM_new(), IIM_DESTROY() names from Imager's
+ internals, those names only matter for the XS interface.
+
+ - improve error reporting when PERL_INITIALIZE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS finds
+ the API level compiled into a loadable module such as
+ Imager::File::GIF doesn't match that of Imager. Previously it
+ could be difficult to determine exactly which module was failing to
+ load.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77173
+
+ - added Imager->check_file_limits() as an interface to the
+ i_int_check_image_file_limits() API.
+
+ - Imager->set_file_limits(reset => 1) now resets the limits to the
+ defaults rather than setting them all to unlimited.
+
+ - wrote a brief security note as Imager::Security
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68910
+
+Imager 0.90 - 30 Apr 2012
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Imager::Test::is_imaged() attempted to process an "epsilon"
+ parameter but the prototype didn't allow for the extra parameter.
+ Corrected the prototype.
+
+ - when downconverting samples (eg. from floating point to 8 bit)
+ Imager now rounds the sample value rather than attempting to
+ allocate input values over output values equally. The old
+ behaviour had the probably surprising effect of converting a
+ floating point 2.1/255.0 into an 8-bit 3 rather than the expected
+ 2.
+ This may result in slightly different 8 or 16-bit output images.
+
+ - BI_BITFIELD BMP images were handled incorrectly, both in
+ incorrectly calculating the space required for the masks and in
+ processing the image data itself.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=76736
+
+ - some odd width BMP BI_RLE4 images use run lengths that run one off
+ the edge of the image. Imager now allows this, discarding the
+ extra column.
+
+ - odd length RLE4 runs in BMP images were decoded incorrectly.
+
+ - pkg-config could sometimes return a library that was in a directory
+ EU::MM / $Config{libpth} doesn't know about, but the compiler did.
+ If no -L is included in the pkg-config library information check if
+ EU::MM can find the library, and if not, search our configured
+ directories and insert that into the library flags.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75869
+
+ - Imager::Probe can now probe for libraries with dependent libraries,
+ common for static linking, eg. libpng requires libz.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
+
+ - libpng 1.5 specific probes were looking for libpng 1.4 filenames.
+
+ - added alternative probe configurations that try to link libz, to
+ handle a statically linked libpng.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
+
+ - if a probe includes testcode, Imager::Probe now checks that code as
+ part of the process of checking each configuration rather than as a
+ post test of the found configuration. This allows alternate
+ configurations to be checked if a matching but non-working
+ configuration is found.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74043
+
+Other changes:
+
+ - when reading or writing images via callbacks, the default callbacks
+ now push an error message indicating that a required callback was
+ called but not supplied.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=76782
+
+ - clarify which callbacks are required for reading and writing TIFF
+ images.
+
+ - improve logging for creation of callback I/O layers.
+
+ - a little more documentation for Imager::Probe.
+
+ - the i_get_file_background() and i_get_file_backgroundf() APIs now
+ return int to indicate whether the i_background tag was found.
+
+ - PNG rework
+ - improve error reporting
+ - add png_interlace, png_bits tags
+ - read paletted images as paletted images, including transparency
+ - read 1 bit greyscale images as a type suitable for other file
+ handlers to write as bilevel
+ - read 16 bit/sample PNG as 16-bit/sample Imager images
+ - write "bilevel" paletted images as 1 bit grayscale images
+ - write paletted images as paletted images
+ - write 16-bit (or higher)/sample images as 16-bit/sample PNG
+ images
+ - improved metadata support
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29268
+
+Imager 0.89 - 18 Mar 2012
+===========
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - getpixel(..., type => "float") and the API i_gpixf() have been
+ broken on paletted images since they were implemented.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75258
+
+Other changes:
+
+ - links in the METHOD INDEX now point at the method documentation
+ rather than the heading you can find them under.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71495
+
+ - Imager (and the bundled dynamic modules) no longer fallback to
+ using DynaLoader if loading via XSLoader fails.
+ For the bundled modules this could hide useful error messages.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75560
+
+ - IM_DEBUG_MALLOC mymalloc() no longer sn?printfs() a string to a
+ buffer in the array of allocations, but just stores the filename
+ pointer and line number.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70388
+
+Imager 0.88 - 22 Feb 2012
+===========
+
+ - describe how to build libgif etc on OS X in such a way as to be
+ compatible with a fat binary perl (such as the system perl), in
+ README.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73371
+
+ - update the change notes for 0.77_01 to indicate that libungif
+ support was removed.
+
+ - add some other imaging modules to SEE ALSO
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73906
+
+ - note that the generator of the apparently non-DFSG-free postscript
+ in MMOne.pfb is a Debian package.
+
+ - setsamples() is now a true complement to getsamples() - it can
+ write 8-bit or floating point samples from a scalar or array
+ reference. This adds i_psamp() and i_psampf() to the C level API.
+
+ - the XS interfaces to i_gsamp(), i_gsampf() and i_gsamp_bits() have
+ changed to make better use of the typemap, but these aren't part of
+ the perl level API anyway. There were no changes to the C level
+ interfaces to these functions.
+
+ - getpixel() and setpixel() now accept a mix of scalar and array
+ references for the x and y parameters, and unequal array lengths is
+ no longer an error.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - correctly calculate the size of a rotated image
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
+
+ - fix incorrect rounding of color values for matrix_transform() and
+ rotate().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69261
+
+ - Win32 text output is now done in normal combine mode, the alpha
+ component of the color is now significant.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70014
+
+ - remove long unused gif case from read()
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69244 (partial)
+
+ - the getsamples() target parameter was being treated as a hashref
+ when it's meant to be an array reference.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74882
+
+ - getpixel() and setpixel() now returns an empty list when invalid
+ parameters are supplied.
+ Invalid values for type now result in an error for getpixel().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=73697
+
+Imager 0.87 - 03 Jan 2012
+===========
+
+ - document the return value of the filter() method.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72369
+
+ - document i_gsamp_bits() and i_psamp_bits().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68815
+
- properly increment the Imager::Matrix2d $VERSION.
+ - actually include the Imager::Test tests in the dist
+
+ - correctly read and write 256x256 pixel ICO files
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69599
+
+ - make the error message from read() or read_multi() when they can't
+ identify the file type match reality.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72475
+
+ - read() now uses $FORMATGUESS if it can't determine the file type
+ based on the file header, to match read_multi().
+
+ - re-work and add tests for def_guess_type(). def_guess_type() no
+ longer returns any random file extension as the file type.
+
+ - add gray4, gray16 and gray as presets for make_colors.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67911
+
+ - add make_palette() method that produces a palette from one or more
+ images.
+
+ - fix the Imager dependency for the separately distributed font
+ drivers.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72643
+
+ - fix i_render_color() to properly draw in "normal" mode - ie. when
+ writing to a 1 or 3 channel image the second or fourth channel of
+ the source color was being ignored, it is now significant.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71564
+
Imager 0.86 - 31 Oct 2011
===========
preparation for separate distribution.
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49616 (partial)
+ Note: this removed support for libungif from Imager.
+
- optimize filled box drawing (color, not fill)
