+
+0.45: (march 2005?)
+- audit pnm.c
+- audit tga.c
+- audit rgb.c and add tests
+- capture TIFF read warnings (i_warnings tag?)
+- add Imager::Cookbook with at least 5 recipes
+- implement i_incomplete for bmp files
+- store floating point tags in an appropriate precision
+- allow image creation to fail on malloc() failure for the image data
+  rather than aborting.  The current behaviour could be a denial of
+  service attack.
+- eliminate unused variable warning (especially the RETVAL ones in Imager.xs)
+
+0.46: (june 2005)
+- allow limits to be set on the size of an image read from a file.  This is
+  to prevent an attacker supplying huge images that consume all of 
+  memory causing a denial of service attack.
+- add Imager::Tutorial (see Tk::UserGuide for a structure)
+  don't cover installation - belongs in README or INSTALL
+  it doesn't need to cover everything - read/write/create/simple drawing
+  and simple text - other stuff belongs in the cookbook or in sample code
+- add 5 more recipes to Imager::Cookbook
+- implement gsamp()/gsampf()/plin() etc methods for those low level image
+  interfaces which don't yet have methods.
+- implement i_incomplete for png and gif files.
+
+Speculation
+-----------
+
+Some of what's listed below has been implemented.
+
+- should i_incomplete be optional?  ie. reading a short image results in
+  an error unless the user requests incomplete images.
