2005-08-06 Cristy <stentz@image...>

- resizing a light colored image on a transparent background will now NOT produce a incorrect black halo.
- The experimental -identify option has been replaced with info:. This special output format will do the same task as the 'identify' command, but will allow you to save the result into a seperate file or to standard output.

- -label and -draw text will no longer deal with the special escapes chars. That is percent '%' image info formats will nolonger be expanded, or '\n' newlines (for multiple line draws) handled.
- A new -extent operator. This is a ultra-fast and simple image size changer. The image data is preserved in the topleft corner of the resulting image, but no effort is made to set any form of background color, or preserve image data that falls outside the new image size. Note -crop is still the prefered operator, but this is appropriate for handling very very large, or huge numbers of images.

- Some Postscript files were not translated properly when read.
- DestroyImage() was previous void, now it returns (Image *) NULL to force the image to a known value and to detect logic errors in the program (any reference to image after it is destroyed will cause a fault). Other destroy methods will be changed in this manner as well. Note, this change will not affect existing programs that rely on these methods.

- The -border 0x0 option no longer produces a black image.

2004-09-03 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Writing a TIFF image to STDOUT no longer generates a seg fault.
- The -colors option no longer causes a seg fault in a grayscale JPEG image.

2004-09-02 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@glenn...>

- The -coalesce option was not honoring dispose-to-previous disposal method.

2004-09-01 Daniel Kobras <kobras@debia...>

- PerlMagick's Profile crashes unless name option is set.

2004-08-30 Richard Kettlewell <rjk@green...>

- Don't sync file when not owned by ImageMagick.

2004-08-31 Daniel Kobras <kobras@debia...>

- #define __attribute__ leaks outside the scope of a single header file, thereby killing any __attribute__ settings in the following code.

2004-08-30 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- The default -module option operates in the HSB colorspace. You can operate in the HSL or HWB colorspace by using the -colorspace option (e.g. -colorspace HSL -modulate 100,130).

2004-08-30 Sebastien <sc5@herme...>

- Images are not created when we receive a SVG error so an attempt to set the image title or comment caused an assertion exception.

2004-08-28 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- The DrawingWand DrawComposite() takes a wand rather than an image.

2004-08-28 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Add SetImageProgressMonitor() and SetImageInfoProgressMonitor() to the core API and MagickSetProgressMonitor() to the Wand API. These methods permit you to pass client data which is not permitted with the deprecated SetMagickMonitor() method.

2004-08-26 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@glenn...>

- avoid libpng-1.2.6 bug by setting PNG_HAVE_IDAT flag.

2004-08-26 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- The display program properly respects -geometry (suggested by Dean S. Messing).

2004-08-24 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Do not issue module warning when writing an image in an unknown implicit image format (e.g. convert logo.png logo.thumb).

2004-08-23 Marcus Meissner <<meissner@suse....>

- Prevent buffer overruns when decoding runlength-encoded images in the BMP format.

2004-08-19 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Using a subimage specification on Postscript/PDF no long renderes a grayscale image (e.g. image.pdf[0]).
- Comparing two CMYK images with the compare program now produces a proper difference image.
- Improved a number of algorithms to better support CMYk images (e.g MedianFilterImage()).

2004-08-16 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Limit endianess to raw image formats and TIFF.
- GetImageBoundingBox() now works properly for CMYK images.

2004-08-14 Anthony Thyssen <anthony@griff...>

- The A channel for the -fx option was inverted.

2004-08-14 Ken Cantwell

- Relinquish the wand id linked-list when all wands are destroyed.

2004-08-12 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Only scale FITS pixels if they are float/double.

2004-08-06 Anthony Thyssen <anthony@griff...>

- Images with less than 256 unique colors, retain the exact colors. Previously some close colors were merged (e.g. 253 and 255 were averaged to 254).
- Added -repage option, like -page but it acts as an image operator rather than a setting.

2004-08-04 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- PNG vulnerability fix.
- Added YCbCr coder for raw Y, Cb, and Cr samples.
- Fixed the -fx option operator precendence problem (+ and - should be the same precendence).

2004-07-23 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Rare memory corruption due to a JPEG comment (bug report by brundlefly76@hotma...).

2004-07-19 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- The PerlMagick Evaluate() method no longer fails with an assertion error.
- Restore -dSAFER for a more secure Ghostscript invocation. The downside is we must copy the Postscript file to a temporary file otherwise we get a the ocassional invalidfileaccess fom Ghostscript.

2004-07-18 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Do not report image depth unless the -verbose or -format %z option is used with the identify program.

2004-07-11 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Center gravity now works when cropping by percent (e.g. -crop 75%).
- Small memory leak on exception in the ImageToBlob() method.
- %@ returns the image bounding box (e.g. identify -format %@ logo:).
- Sync pixel cache when cloning an image-- just in case someone clones an image clone and accesses pixels with AcquireImagePixel() instead of GetImagePixels().

2004-07-09 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

- coders/bmp.c (ReadBMPImage): Removed if-test on reading red_mask, green_mask, and blue_mask. These are only *valid* under certain conditions, but they are always present in the file.

2004-07-05 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Support CMYK Postscript with the bmpsep8 device.
- Add support for channels for the -unsharp options.
- Add support for reading PCL with the Alladin pcl6 delegate.

2004-06-26 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Fixed SVG-path-implementation for elliptical arcs for angle < 45° and the sweep-flag is 1 (bug repored by Juergen).
- Fixed PerlMagick memory leak for corrupt TIFF images.
- MagickBooleanType changed from unsigned int to an enum for stronger type checking. This should not affect the C API, however, for the C++ API you can no longer use `bool' instead of MagickTrue/MagickFalse for the methods that require a MagickBooleanType.

2004-06-23 Suryakant Patidar <surya_iiit@lyco...>

- Add copious usability features to the animate program.

2004-06-22 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Add support for compositing pixels in the CMYK colorspace.

2004-06-20 Anthony Thyssen <anthony@griff...>

2004-06-19 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Convert image resolution relative to the value specified by the -units option.

2004-06-18 Jan Kratochvil <lace@jankr...>

- Perl interface for MagickToMime().

2004-06-13 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- ImageMagick 6.0.2 released.

2004-06-09 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- GetTypeByFamily() did not always return an italic font when requested
- ColorFloodfill() sometimes prematurely exited with a large fuzz value.

2004-06-06 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- The file browser returned incorrect filenames when saving an image with the display program.

2004-05-31 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...>

- Added checkerboard background to display/animate X window to assist in visualizing transparent images.
- The configure script now automatically enables OS features by selectively setting defines such as XOPEN_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE, etc.
- Added anonymous memory-mapping to the pixel cache. This makes it possible for memory to be returned to the system after the image is destroyed.

2004-05-31 Good Will <pu@dr...>

- Fixed a bug in EnhanceImage() that incorrected shifted edge pixels.

2004-05-26 Alexandra Christini <alexandra@image...>

- Fixed problem with relative filename wildcards (e.g. identify images/*.jpg).
- MagickWand tracks the wand construction/destructions and initializes/ destroys the ImageMagick core API environment as appropriate.

2004-05-23 Richardo Fabbri <ricardofabbri@users...>

- The active_list variable must be reset when a list is destroyed.

2004-05-18 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Introduce MagickBooleanType and MagickStatusType types of unsigned int. These types are 100% compatible with the existing API but removes ambiguity. Previously we got complaints that users did not realize that a return value of unsigned int in most cases meant a binary value (True/ False). MagickStatusType is used for methods that return a bit mask.
- Introduce MagickFalse and MagickTrue while we deprecate True/False.

2004-05-18 David Strobach <strobach@exec...>

- Don't open a loadable module if its already open.

2004-05-14 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Most Wand methods return an `unsigned int' where True indicates success and False indicates an error. We enhanced these methods to return MagickBooleanType and MagickTrue/MagickFalse to make it less ambiguous. Note these changes are 100% compatible so existing Wand calls will continue to work as written.

2004-05-14 Eli Barzilay <li@barzi...>

- DrawSetStrokeDashArray() now respects the number_elements argument.

2004-05-12 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Since the WMF coder has Wand dependancies we only enable this coder when both WMF is available and module support enabled.

2004-05-08 Daniel Kobras <kobras@debia...>

- When an unknown property is encountered in the XCF coder, it enters a bogus loop that never terminates.

2004-05-06 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Various modules in coders/ require external libraries (bug report from kobras).
- PerlMagick's QueryFontMetrics() incorrectly reports `unrecognized attribute'` for the `font' attribute (bug report from Arfune).

2004-05-05 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Fixed temporary file resource limit leak in RelinquishUniqueFileResource().

2004-04-19 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- ConvolveImageChannel() incorrectly initialized non-selected channels to 0.
- Prep shared memory segments to automatically destroy itself in the event of a process kill (see
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=207379).

2004-04-19 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- ConvolveImageChannel() incorrectly initialized non-selected channels to 0.

2004-04-15 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added Cisco IP phone image format (write only).

2004-04-15 Alexandra Christini <ally@image...>

- ImageMagick 6.0.0 released.

2004-04-10 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Updated the dot coder to use the new graphviz 1.12 API.
- The next/previous fields of the configuration structures (magick_info, type_info, etc.) are deprecated, instead use the Get???InfoList() method (e.g. GetTypeInfoList()).

2004-04-07 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- ColorFloodfillImage() with FillToBorder option stopped working in 6.0.0. Fixed now (bug report by Tim Hunter)..

2004-04-05 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- GetColorInfoList() returns an array of ColorInfo structures. Also added similiar methods for each of the ImageMagick lists (e.g. magick, delegate, etc.).

2003-03-27 Nathan Brown <nathan@sputn...>

- Fixed a couple bugs in the AVI coder MJPG support.

2004-03-25 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

2004-03-22 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Frame decorations are opaque if the matte color is opaque.

2004-03-15 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added CombineImages() to combine several grayscale images into a single image (e.g. convert -channel RGB image.R image.G image.B -combine logo.png).

2004-03-08 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added EvaluateImageChannel() method to the API. Use it to apply an an arithmetic, relational, or logical operator to an image. These operations can be used to lighten or darken an image, to increase or decrease contrast in an image, or to produce the "negative" of an image.

2004-03-07 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added a pixel iterator to the MagickWand API (suggested by Kyle Shorter).

2004-03-05 Teemu Ikonen <tpikonen@pcu.h...>

- fixed the Matlab file reader read also files written in little-endian architectures.

2004-02-10 Alexandra Christini <achristini@bigpl...>

- Reset errno in PerlMagick constant() method.

2004-02-20 <yarrow@image...>

- Added `O' for importing/exporting pixels. `O' is the image opacity the eqiuvalent of MaxRGB-`A' (suggested by Dave Welton).

2004-02-04 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added the -posterize option to reduce the image to a limited number of color levels.

2004-02-15 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added the -splice option to splice the background color into an image (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-10 Alexandra Christini <achristini@bigpl...>

- Added -clone, -remove, -splice, and -swap as options to the convert program to enhance image list manipulation (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-05 Anthony Thyssen <anthony@griff...>

- Expand the range of -dissolve to go from 0 to 200. That is values 0 to 100 slowly dissolve the overlay onto the background. But then values 100 to 200 slowly dissolve the background away until it is just the source image on top of a clear canvas the size of the original background.

2004-01-30 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added -separate to the convert program to separate a channel from an image and return a grayscale image (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-02 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

- coders/bmp.c: fix potential use of uninitialized data.
- coders/png.c: fix potential use of uninitialized data.

2004-01-30 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- New map option, P, for padding pixels when calling the ConstituteImage(), ExportImagePixels(), and ImportImagePixels() methods.

2004-01-24 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- VMS patches to 5.5.8: coders/avi.c, remove all the <CR> at the end of the lines magick/config.h_vms, add HAVE_FT2BUILD_H directive magick/Make.com, and add compare.c

2004-01-03 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- In coders/sgi.c, opacity channel was lost when writing grayscale SGI images.

2003-12-31 Dan Rogahn <rogahn@...>

2003-12-27 Volker Kuhlmann <list0570@parad...>

- Applied latest Suze 9.0 patches.

2003-12-22 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Fixed a number of Magick Wand nits as reported by Rolf in the MagickWand discussion group (http://studio.imagemagick.org/magick/viewforum.php?f=6).
- Added explicit option grouping to the convert command, for example, convert \( 1.png 2.png -append \) \( 3.png 4.png -append \) +append image.jpg (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
- Option -draw image respects gravity (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
- Text annotate respects gravity (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
- Add latest TIFF library to ImageMagick Windows distribution.

2003-12-22 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- Added JPEG Quality, JPEG Colorspace, and JPEG Sampling factors to the "identify -verbose" report. Added "-define jpeg:preserve-settings" flag. If this is set, and the input and output formats are both JPEG, the input quality is used to compress the output file. Also, if the colorspace was not changed, the same sampling factors are used for compression.

2003-12-16 Marek Scholaster" <Marek.Scholaster@sezna...>

- ResizeImage() parameter "filter" is never used.

2003-12-16 Ron Stanonik <stanonik@cogsc...>

- CloneMagickMemory() did not always copy overlapping memory correct (bug report by Ron Stanonik).

2003-12-16 Nathan Brown <nathan@sputn...>

- Modified the AVI coder to support MJPG compression.

2003-12-15 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Previous signal handlers were not being called properly.

2003-12-12 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added new image comparsion utility (e.g. compare -metric PSNR image reconstructed difference).

2003-12-11 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- The display program no longer exits after the last image. You must press Q or ESC or choose the Quit menu option to exit (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
- Off-by-one error for RLA image dimensions (patch provided by Jean-Francois Panisset).

2003-12-06 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- The gravity is now repected by the -draw option (bug report by Anthony Thyssen).

2003-12-03 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Reset image->extract_info.{x,y} when parsing the -size option.

- Converted composite operators to inline methods in magick/composite.c.
- Accept floating point image sizes (e.g. -geometry 1662.179324x2079.019558).
- Added QueryMagickColor() to define CMYK colors. First use is with the XC image format (e.g. -size 100x100 xc:'cmyk(100,100,100,50)');

2003-11-18 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Get EXIF data with $im->Get('%[EXIF:*]') in PerlMagick.
- Added the -orient option to set the image orientation.
- Postscript/PDF once again respects the image gravity attribute.

2003-11-16 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Text compression is limited to 65535 bytes for the PNG coder (libpng restriction).
- To write an image clip mask, use the CLIP: coder.
- Added GetImageExtrema() and GetImageChannelExtrema() to return the extrema for an image or image channel.
- Added GetImageMean() and GetImageChannelMeand() to return the mean and standard deviation for an image or image channel.

2003-11-01 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@stibo.com>

- coders/jpeg.c: changed to not write gray CMYK images as grayscales. That would not be a valid optimization.
- magick/color.c (IsGrayImage, IsMonochromeImage): Changed to never return true for CMYK images. Separated images get wrong colors when optimized to grayscales based on what these two functions return. Gray and CMYK are two different color spaces.
- magick/nt_feature.c (NTIsMagickConflict): changed to accept colon as part of the magick string, consistent with the way the function is used.
- magick/utility.c, magick/utility.h (ExpandFilenames, GetPathComponent): Fixed filename glob expansion. Added handling of filename prefix-magick and sub-image specification to GetPathComponent. Sub-image specification takes precedence over any filename patterns.

2003-11-01 Kenneth J. Davis <jeremyd@computer.{org}>

- Fixed assertion error in GetConfigureOptions().

2003-10-29 Tony Butt <magick-bugs>

- Fixed off-by-one array error in magick/xwindows.c.

- Patch to get ImageMagick working under OpenVMS.

2003-10-20 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added new GetPixels() method to PerlMagick.

2003-10-16 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Began support for CIELab PSD and TIFF images.
- New -method-prefix configure option to add a unique prefix for all Magick API methods.

2003-10-12 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Thanks to Catalin Mihaila for contributing a ZX-Spectrum SCREEN$ reader.

2003-10-09 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- When JPEG sampling factors aren't fully supplied, any omitted ones should be 1x1.

2003-10-08 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added Get*List() to consistently return ImageMagick lists (e.g. GetMagickList() returns a list of support image formats).
- Added -define option to support options associated with an image format (e.g. -define ps3:imagemask).

2003-10-08 Kelly Bergougnoux <three3@users.sourceforge.{net}>

- Contributed new Cineon image format coder.

2003-10-08 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@stibo.com>

- magick/attribute.c (TraceSVGClippingPath): optimized for speed and precision in clipping mask generation by using lines to connect Bezier curve control points where applicable.

2003-09-30 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- The PNG decoder would exit too early when reading file.png[0].

2003-10-02 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Wrote an option parser to uniformly deal with enumerated types.

2003-09-30 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- In the Q8 configuration, the bmp decoder was scaling 5-5-5-bit and 5-6-5-bit colors slightly incorrectly when decoding 16-bit BMPs, as well as when decoding 8-8-8-8-bit colors in 32-bit BMPs.

2003-09-26 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Added MagickWand API methods to get, append, and remove images from a wand.

2003-09-24 Wolfgang Textor <Textor-Duisburg@t-online.de>

- Applied changes to get the current ImageMagick 5.5.8 beta sources compile on a Mac with Codewarrior 8.3.

2003-09-21 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Image profiles are now conveniently handled with a hashmap structure. The color_profile and iptc_profile members of the Image structure are still maintained for backwards compatibility, however, we encourage you to use the new PutImageProfile(), GetImageProfile(), and DeleteImageProfile() methods.

2003-09-20 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Error messages are enhanced to give greater detail. Use -debug Exception to trace the source location of an error.

2003-09-18 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@stibo.com>

- coders/ps3.c: Major update of the PS3 coder. The coder now creates much smaller files for bilevel, gray, and colormapped images. Compression and image type is now separated so they may be combined independently. Any alpha channel is separated into a separate mask so it's possible to mask bilevel, gray, colormapped, rgb, and CKYK images. You may also mask a JPEG compressed PS file for instance. Clipping masks created from a photoshop clipping path with -clip option is converted to a corresponding postscript clipping path. New functions need comment headers.
- magick/attribute.c: Added TracePSClippingPath for creating a postscript clipping path from a Photoshop clipping path.
- magick/image.c: ClipPathImage now stores the name of the clipping path in the mask image filename so that it is remembered and may be used for creating a postscript clipping path for postscript output.

2003-09-16 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- There is a new ImageMagick license (see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php). It is a W3C-style rather than BSD-style license to address the frequently-asked-questions about what the license permits you to do. It makes it more clear that you can do pretty much whatever you want with ImageMagick as long as you don't claim your wrote it.

2003-09-12 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Created a number of new header files to localize exported methods.
- Updated source files to minimize the number of lint warnings.

2003-09-08 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Deprecated Extended*Type. Replace with Magick*Type.
- Updating multiple source files to make lint happy.

2003-09-08 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>

- Revised TraceArc to use TraceEllipse; removed now unused large_arc and sweep flags.

2003-09-03 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Add module alias for OTF => TTF.

2003-09-01 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Reworked configuration file logic to load files from the current directory, at MAGICK_HOME, or at ~/.magick before the system versions of the configuration file. This allows a user to define private fonts in ~/.magick/type.xml, for example.

2003-09-01 Cristy <yarrow@image...>

- Color was inverted when writing OTB monochrome images.
- Add image histogram methods to C, C++, Perlmagick, and MagickWand API.

- -fuzz now accept negative values.

2003-07-17 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@st...>

- support for grayscale color profiles. You may now convert to/from CMYK or RGB from/to grayscale with a grayscale profile. This is what Photoshop does when it creates grayscales from color images or makes true color images from grayscales.
- any alpha channel is now maintained across colorspace conversions. It was previously lost in the conversions.
- colormapped images may now be profiled with a color profile. They were previously passed through unchanged.
- improved error handling. Any invalid colorspace / color profile combination is now catched in ImageMagick before LCMS gets a chance to catch the same error. LCMS will exit() the program the hard way if it catches such an error. ImageMagick clean-up routines will now be performed on exit.
- support for the two remaining colorspaces, YCbCr and LUV, for which there is support in both ImageMagick and LCMS (or ICC 3.4, really). Profiles using other ICC 3.4 colorspaces not supported by ImageMagick will now properly throw an exception before LCMS exit's the application.
