Imager release history. Older releases can be found in Changes.old
+Imager 1.009 - 11 Jan 2019
+============
+
+Critical issue:
+
+ - drawing a filled, anti-aliased circle to the left or right of the
+ image (not within the image at all) would cause a buffer overflow.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=128208
+
+General changes:
+
+ - to_paletted() and make_palette() now fail (with an error in
+ errstr()) if invalid quantization parameters are supplied.
+
+ - map() would corrupt a channel if there was a gap in the arrayref of
+ channels. Detected by Coverity. CID 185300.
+
+ - most numeric parameters to the XS implementation now throw an
+ exception if supplied an unoverloaded reference.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=128208
+
+Coverity finally finished a build[1], fixed several of the problems
+found. Coverity went down before I could finish working through them.
+
+High severity:
+
+ - reading a color-mapped TGA file with an id string would cause a
+ double-free if the palette was truncated. CID 185317.
+
+ - mixing scaling to sizes where the accumulator row, the working
+ output row or the working input row didn't fit into the address
+ space could result in memory leaks. This can probably only be
+ reproduced on very wide floating-point sample images. CID 185318.
+
+ - convert an array style function parameter pointer to pointer style
+ to prevent confusing Coverity in the T1 bounding box implementation.
+ CID 185343.
+
+ - Similarly in the FT1 bounding box implementation. CID 185338.
+
+ - Similarly for the i_tt_rasterize() function in the FT1
+ implementation. CID 185303.
+
+ - initialize a pointer to prevent Coverity complaining in polygon
+ drawing (it should always end up being set.) CID 185341.
+
+ - addi style makemap could potentially read one past the end of an
+ array. CID 185337.
+
+ - supplying a numeric hatch of 32 to Imager::Fill->new(hatch => ...)
+ would result in read beyond the end of the built-in hatch array.
+ Negative values (which Coverity didn't complain about) could also
+ cause problems. CID 185331.
+
+ - the Imager::Color set_internal() interal method no longer
+ calls the over-complicated ICL_set_internal() (which is retained
+ only for the old API.) Coverity complained that this leaked, but
+ this could only occur with an invalid (NULL pointer) color object.
+ CID 185323.
+
+ - the underlying implementation of the map() method could read before
+ the beginning on an allocated array if supplied with inconsistent
+ parameters, which Coverity complained about. No Imager code calls
+ that function with inconsistent parameters, but a
+ belt-and-suspenders check was added. CID 185315.
+
+ - Coverity complained a call to i_getcolors(), used by the
+ implementation of the is_bilevel() method could leave the fetched
+ colors uninitialized. Added a return value check. CID 185308.
+
+ - a numeric combining mode of 13 (eg. as a parameter to
+ Imager::Fill->new())could cause an invalid array read in
+ i_get_combine() due to a fencepost error in validating the combine
+ number. CID 185299.
+
+Lower severity (according to Coverity):
+
+ - avoid an unneeded EXTEND() call when the FT1 has_chars()
+ implementation returns 0. CID 185350.
+
+ - avoid accessing a possibly NULL map from MakeMapObject() in a
+ logging call. (GIF) CID 185296.
+
+ - gradgen() allocated the wrong amount of space (always too much) for
+ the color array. CID 185291.
+
+ - avoid dead code in i_tt_glyph_names(). CID 185321.
+
+ - avoid dead code in i_get_anonymous_color_histo(), which is the
+ implementation of getcolorusage(). CID 185327.
+
+ - avoid dead code in i_ft2_glyph_name(), which is the implementation
+ of glyph_names() for FT2. CID 185342.
+
+ - avoid dead code in i_t1_glyph_names(), which is the implementation
+ of glyph_names() for T1. CID 185322.
+
+ - avoid an unneeded EXTEND() call when the FT2 has_chars()
+ implementation returns 0. CID 185292.
+
+ - the unpack code for ICO/CUR file handling could extend 32-bit
+ unsigned values to 64-bit signed. I believe this is harmless. CID
+ 185319.
+
+ - remove an unneeded check when terminating the stream for JPEG
+ writing. CID 185347.
+
+ - skip an unneeded check when freeing the combine temp buffer in the
+ fountain filter. CID 185286.
+
+ - check the combine function pointer consistently rather than the
+ combine code in one place in the fountain filter.
+
+ - error diffusion now validates a custom error diffusion map and reports
+ an error if it's bad. CID 185288.
+
+ - avoid discarding the value of i_io_getc() when scanning numbers in
+ pnm.c. CID 185293.
+
+ - handle failure to clone the log filehandle when cloning the Imager
+ context object on thread creation. CID 185294.
+
+ - fix an unsigned comparison when converting character code to a
+ glyph index with a NULL character map when calculating the glyph
+ for display for FT1. This should be rare. CID 185297.
+
+ - fix a similar bug when calculating whether a glyph is present for
+ has_chars() for FT1. CID 185302.
+
+ - i_img_info() (C API) no longer tries to handle a NULL image object
+ pointer. CID 185298.
+
+ - re-work testing for size_t overflow for circle/random
+ super-sampling for fountain fills. CID 185304.
+
+ - don't check if the unsigned size passed to Imager's malloc wrapper
+ (mymalloc) is negative. Left from when that parameter was signed.
+ CID 185305.
+
+ - make some types larger and add a cast to prevent integer overflows
+ when calculating a palette with median cut for extraordinarily
+ large images. CID 185306.
+
+ - don't check if the unsigned size supplied to
+ im_set_image_file_limits() is negative. CID 185307.
+
+[1] The first two build submissions ended up at the end of a ~400 item
+build queue, and seemed to have been cancelled by Coverity. A build
+submitted on NYE went through in minutes.
+
+Imager 1.008 - 31 Dec 2018
+============
+
+ - moved EXIF handling from Imager::File::JPEG to core Imager
+ This allows file formats that store EXIF data as blobs similarly
+ to JPEG to re-use this code. (such as Imager::File::WEBP)
+
+ - added some more file extensions to image file type mappings
+
+ - added add_type_extensions() class method
+
+ - Imager::Files now links to Imager::Install when discussing
+ appropriate libraries.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127575
+
+Imager 1.007 - 24 Nov 2018
+============
+
+ - add png_compression_level tag for writing PNG files.
+
+ - avoid flooring a second time in matrix transform interpolation.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=124001
+
+ - produce v2 metadata.
+ Includes change from the ticket and updates to sub-modules.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127216
+
+ - improve error reporting for the polygon() method
+
+Imager 1.006 - 26 Aug 2017
+============
+
+ - the internal i_errors() function now correctly allocates the stack
+ space needed for its result.
+ https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=131938
+
+ - t/100-base/020-color.t now uses Imager::Test's test functions
+ instead of its own.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111993
+
+ - write_multi() now returns an error result (a false value) if called
+ with a non-(Imager image object). Previously it would typically
+ crash.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=117878
+
+ - improve the documentation of the jpegquality parameter when
+ writing JPEG files.
+
+ - add code to mitigate CVE-2016-1238, Imager will no longer search the
+ default current directory entry in @INC when searching for file
+ format support modules.
+
+Imager 1.005 - 16 Apr 2016
+============
+
+It's now been ten years since I switched to the new Changes file in
+release 0.55.
+
+ - revert the ivdformat probes, they don't work as is and trying to
+ fix them is too much work for now.
+
+Imager 1.004_004 - 15 Apr 2016
+================
+
+ - test that the ivdformat from Config is correct and look for a valid
+ one if it isn't.
+ For the strange Win32 failures.
+
+ - fix a copy and paste error in pod in samples/samp-form.cgi
+
+Imager 1.004_003 - 23 Mar 2016
+================
+
+ - add some extra error reporting to the I/O layers tests, this might
+ help catch a failure seen on Win32.
+ http://cpantesters.org/cpan/report/99781689-6bf5-1014-897a-75cb4eee1325
+
+Imager 1.004_002 - 20 Mar 2016
+================
+
+ - don't use the seek() method on opened() handles in
+ t/200-file/400-basic.t. In older versions of perl such handles are
+ only IO::Handle objects, not IO::File, and don't have a seek()
+ method.
+
+Imager 1.004_001 - 16 Mar 2016 (Birthday release - but not my birthday)
+================
+
+ - re-work the t/200-file/400-basic.t to correctly handle failures
+ It's custom ok() function didn't have a prototype and didn't use scalar().
+ This caused ok() to use the note instead of the value being tested when
+ the method called returned an empty list. For an example of the problem
+ caused see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812093
+
+ - remove some noise from when Imager tried to work with bugs in old
+ versions of giflib. I can't do much about the new bugs.
+
+ - the new autolevels filter (Imager 0.99) used an integer for the
+ sample scaling factor which caused the top output level to be too
+ low (depending on the scaling required.) It now uses a double.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
+
+ - the new autolevels filter had off-by-one errors calculating the
+ minimum and maximum luminance from the histogram. This slightly
+ reduced the contrast of the output image.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
+
+ - the new autolevels filter now uses a lookup table for 8-bit images
+ to avoid a floating point multiply for each sample.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111871
+
+ - fixed several memory leaks detected by valgrind:
+
+ - addcolors() leaked the temporary array of colors supplied to the
+ internal API
+
+ - make_palette() leaked the temporary image array (not the images
+ themselves) passed to the internal API.
+
+ - combine()/i_combine() leaked its working row buffers
+
+ - getcolorusage()/i_get_anonymous_color_histo() leaked the sample
+ buffer if there were too many colors
+
+ - getcolorcount()/i_count_colors() leaked the sample buffer if
+ there were too many colors.
+
+ - the nearest_color filter (undocumented until I find a use for it)
+ leaked both temporaries passed to the API and internal buffers
+
+ - the internal process of upgrading a paletted image to a direct
+ color image would leak a context object reference count.
+
+ - a write failure when writing to a GIF file could leak memory.
+
+ - failing to write to a 1-bit/pixel ICO image could leak memory.
+
+ - Imager no longer deliberately leaks the context object from the
+ initial thread. This was done to ensure there was always a context
+ object available, but the code that needed that now handles the
+ lack correctly,
+
+ - fixed some uninitialized memory usage detected by valgrind:
+
+ - rotate()/i_rotate_exact()/i_rotate_exact_bg()/i_matrix_transform()/
+ i_matrix_transform_bg() didn't initialize a working color value
+ if there was zero pixel coverage.
+
+ - i_ft2_cp() didn't initialize the complete color when producing an
+ intermediate image. This caused uninitialized value usage when
+ logging the color.
+
+Imager 1.004 - 8 Nov 2015
+============
+
+ - Imager::Color::Table is now pre-loaded by the preload() method.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=104896
+
+ - fix an assertion triggered under perl 5.23.4.
+ Thanks to A. Sinan Unur for the report and the patch.
+
+ - Imager->new can now be used to read raw image files.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=106836
+ Thanks to Richard Kelsch for reporting this.
+
+ - deal with output changes from Pod::Spell
+ https://github.com/perl-pod/Pod-Spell/issues/21
+
+Imager 1.003 - 12 May 2015
+============
+
+ - update 1.002 release notes to include the center change for filled
+ circle drawing.
+
+ - flood_fill() would escape beyond a 4-connected space under some
+ circumstances.
+ Added many more flood_fill() tests.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=103786
+
+Imager 1.002 - 3 Apr 2015
+============
+
+ - drawing anti-aliased filled circles is now 10 to 50 times faster
+ depending on the size of the circle.
+ This also changed the center from being the center of the pixel to
+ being the top left of the pixel to match the filled arcs drawn by
+ arc().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101682
+
+ - enhancements to polygon filling:
+
+ - added a mode parameter to control how overlapping regions behave
+
+ - added a polypolygon() method to fill more than one polygon at a
+ time
+
+ - polygon filling is now exposed through the API.
+
+ - added colormodel(), alphachannel() and colorchannels() methods.
+ These were added for two reasons:
+
+ - a future version of Imager may allow the number of channels in
+ an image to not directly represent the color model of an image.
+ eg. a greyscale TIFF image with multiple alpha channels.
+
+ - a future version of Imager may allow an image to be read without
+ translation, for example a TIFF file that contains measurements
+ from an instrument. Currently Imager transforms the samples into
+ the range 0.0 ... 1.0 which may means the user has to translate
+ the value back.
+
+ An untranslated image would be unusable as image data, so
+ colormodel() would return "unknown" in this case.
+
+ Similarly a CMYK image might be returned as an "unknown" color
+ model image, if the caller chooses to disable translation to
+ RGB.
+
+Imager 1.001 - 2 Jan 2015
+============
+
+ - both Imager and perl 5.21.3 define my_strerror(), prevent a conflict
+ Thanks to Slaven Rezic for the report and the patch.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98234
+
+ - GIF: clean-up a test file if the test for the giflib 4.2.0 file
+ version bug fails.
+
+ - fix Imager::Matrix2d::rotate()'s centre point handling
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99959
+
+ - ICO: don't apply the icon mask to images with an alpha channel by
+ default
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99507
+
+ - make verbose probing output more verbose
+
+ - use Imager::Probe to probe for freetype 1.x
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=100502
+
+ - The --enable and --disable parameters to the top-level Makefile.PL
+ work again.
+
+ - update the bundled/modified Devel::CheckLib to handle the gcc-4
+ symlink on Cygwin
+
+Imager 1.000 - 28 Jul 2014
+============
+
+There's nothing special about Imager 1.000, it's just another release.
+
+ - fix the skip check for the iolayer qr// buffer test
+
+ - improve error reporting for the iolayer test failing on a small
+ number of Win32 CPAN testers
+
+Imager 0.99_02 - 21 Jul 2014
+==============
+
+ - Imager::Filter::Mandelbrot (and dynfilt/mandelbrot.c) - initialize
+ the blue channel in the generated palette, and allow each color
+ component to be in the range 100..255 instead of just 100..254.
+ Thanks to Ralf Neubauer.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97086
+
+ - revert "improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()"
+ This caused problems with older perls and didn't provide much of a
+ performance improvement.
+
+ - support Inline 0.57 and later.
+ Inline 0.57 changed the "with" interface.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97108
+
+ - don't define our own MAXINT macro, it conflicts with windows header
+ files and in a few places it was the wrong value to use anyway.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96425
+
+Imager 0.99_01 - 29 Jun 2014
+==============
+
+ - GIF: add support for giflib 5.1.0, which added error code pointer
+ parameters to EGifCloseFile() and DGifCloseFile().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96756
+
+ - GIF: avoid a double-free when do_write() fails.
+
+ - fix SV type probing to work on perl before 5.12. Broken in 0.99.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96761
+
+ - PNG: skip the benign error test before libpng 1.6.0, since the
+ error we're testing didn't exist before 1.6.0.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717 (continued)
+
+Imager 0.99 - 25 Jun 2014
+===========
+
+ - Imager::IO->new_buffer() (and hence Imager->read()'s data
+ parameter) now accepts a reference to a scalar as well as just a
+ plain scalar.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
+
+ - Imager::IO->new_buffer() now always makes a copy of the passed in
+ buffer to avoid problems with temporary objects used for the return
+ value of SvPVbyte().
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92785
+
+ - improved the XS for i_io_read() and i_io_raw_read()
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92738
+
+ - load plugins from absolute paths on Android
+ Thanks to Brian Fraser.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=93272
+
+ - added the jpeg_optimize parameter for writing JPEG files. This can
+ significantly reduce file sizes, but uses more memory and time.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94292
+
+ - the autolevels filter now works on the luminosity of the image
+ rather then working per channel. The old autolevels filter is
+ still available as "autolevels_skew".
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94413
+
+ - Imager::File::PNG now supports libpng 1.6.10.
+ 1.6.10 changed CRC errors from benign errors to normal errors,
+ which broke the test which used CRC errors to check for benign
+ error support. Switched to using a 1-bit grey-scale image with a
+ palette to test for benign errors.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=94717
+
+Imager 0.98 - 3 Jan 2014
+===========
+
Incompatible changes:
- the return value of setpixel() has changed.
Thanks to Adrian Yee.
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88598
+ - Image::Probe, Imager's internal module for probing library
+ locations now searches the directories specified by LD_RUN_PATH,
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH for libraries,
+ and the corresponing s/\blib$/include/ directories for header
+ files.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86428
+
Imager 0.97 - 15 Jul 2013
===========
- avoid static variables when capturing IPTC data from JPEG files
- - match Imager::Font;:T1's error message translations to those from
+ - 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
