This resulted in a crash + on some machines, when reading a tiff file from disk. + +6/9/97 Added Channel functions for all format handlers. Needed to + make everything work again in combination with Tk8.0b1. + +6/12/97 Removed Xlib sub-directory and moved tkWinInt.h and tkMacInt.h + to the main directory. reason: Xlib.h is already installed by + Tk, so there is no need for Img to do it as well. + +6/12/97 (bug-fix) test.png in reality was an XPM file. + +6/12/97 Upgraded libpng to version 0.96 + +7/1/97 Removed __eprintf() function: The assert() function + (which was the problem) can be disabled with + -DNDEBUG as well, which is much simpler. + +7/1/97 Fixed bug in PNG interlace handling: Now interlaced + images will be produced by default. + +7/1/97 Added support for animated GIF. Not complete yet. + +7/10/97 Added support for binary I/O in all format handlers. The + initialization automatically detects if the current Tcl + version supports this. + +7/11/97 Construction of new patch.tk8, which combines Steve Ball's + work with mine. Now binary I/O is fully supported. + +7/16/97 Removed the "fromData" hack from all format handlers. + +7/17/97 Speedup of TIFF format handler: No longer uses a temporary + file to store intermediate results, but does everyting + in memory. This enhancement uses the function TIFFClientOpen, + which is only available in newer TIFF libraries. If this + function cannot be found, the slower original approach is + taken. + +7/18/97 Added support for BMP format. Still incomplete. + +7/20/97 Completed support for animated GIF. Added example animated + GIF to demo. + +7/24/97 Added support for 1-bit BMP images. Now only + RLE decompressing left to be implemented. + +7/26/97 Changed TIFF handler such that libz and libjpeg are + only loaded when needed (new files imgTIFFjpeg.c and + imgTIFFzip.c, adapted from tif_jpeg.c and tif_zip.c + from the TIFF source). + +7/26/97 Added postscript format handler (imgPS.c), read only. + Assumes that Ghostscript (version 2.6 or higher) + is installed on your system. + +7/28/97 Changed GIF format string to be "gif -index <n>" in stead of + "gif <n>". The old format is still accepted for backwards + compatibility with version 1.1b1, but no longer documented. + +8/1/97 Added option "-zoom" to postscript handler. + +8/11/97 Modified all patches to correct the "imageName copy" + command. Previously it didn't handle transparency + correctly. Plus another bug fix related to the alpha + channel. Thanks to Nick Ing-Simmons <nick@ni-s.u-net.com> + for providing the fix. + +8/12/97 Bug fix. Transparency turned out not to be handled correctly + for paletted PNG images. Tk and XV cannot produce such images, that's + why this is not discovered earlier. Thanks to Stephane Lavirotte + <Stephane.Lavirotte@sophia.inria.fr> for pointing this out. + +8/13/97 Converted the "format" argument of the Image API to Tcl_Obj's. + This influenced all source files and "patch.tk8". So, you + cannot use older versions of "patch.tk8" with Img1.1 any more, + and the latest "patch.tk8" doesn't work with Img1.1b3 as well. + +8/16/97 Added "install.tcl" and "tkv.tcl" + +8/18/97 Tcl8.0a1 and Tcl8.0a2 are no longer supported. + +8/18/97 Adapted "patch.tk8" to the final Tk8.0 release. Constructed + new files "patchtk8.tgz" and "patchtk8.zip", which contain + a collection of the Tk8.0 files that changed. The latter files + are not distributed with Img 1.1, but can be found in the + same directory where you got Img 1.1. + +----------------- Released 1.1, 8/18/97 ----------------------- + +8/21/97 (bug fix) "tkv.tcl" didn't display the menu's correctly using + Tk4.2, apart from the fact that they turned out to look horrible + on Windows anyway. In combination with Tk8.0, Tkv uses the new + menu interface now, which doesn't have this problem. + +8/21/97 (bug fix) "demo.tcl" changed the working directory when the + additional tests are interrupted by using the "dismiss" button. + +8/21/97 (bug fix) Removed POSIX dependancies from imgInit.c, imgPmap.c, + imgPS.c and imgTIFF.c. This will make porting to non-POSIX + systems (e.g. Mac) easier, but makes no difference on + POSIX-compliant machines. + +8/22/97 Added file MW_ImgHeader.pch, which is used as a pre-compilied + header source for all files in the Img package. This make compilies + go a bit faster. This file is only intended to be used in the + MetroWerks CodeWarrior environment. + +8/24/97 Added "patch.tkx", which enhances the TclX help system to + reflect the changes in patch.tk4 and patch.tk8 + +8/26/97 (bug fix) JPEG handler crashed on some machines when writing + big JPEG images to disk. Thanks to Peter T. Waltenberg + <p.waltenberg@irl.cri.nz> for reporting this bug, and for + providing an example script which demonstrated this problem. + +8/27/97 (bug fix) Serveral minor changes to remove warning when compiling + under Windows and Mac. Thanks to Mazin As-Sanie <mazina@eecs.umich.edu> + for reporting those to me. + +8/27/97 (bug fix) Eliminated Tcl_Realloc() call in imgTIFF.c. This function + didn't exist yet in Tk4.2 and before. + +9/5/97 (bug fix) install.tcl assumed that the PATH enviroment variable + was a ':'-separated list. This is correct on UNIX, but on Windows + the separation character should be ';' + +9/7/97 (bug fix) Fixed patch.tk8 such that the "imgName copy" command + handles transparency fully correct. Previously copied pixels + just replaced the existing pixels and the regions were not + merged correctly. Now that has been fixed. If a partially trans- + parent pixel is copied on top of an already partially transparent + pixel, a new color and a new transparency value is determined, + consisting of a combination of both. + +9/8/97 (bug fix) GIF handler didn't handle local colormaps correctly. + Lucky enough most GIF's only have a global colormap. + +----------------- Released 1.1p1, 9/9/97 ----------------------- + +10/1/97 (bug-fix) Oops. Previous bug-fix was not correct :-( + Still didn't work with local colormaps. + +10/17/97 (bug fix) patch.tix didn't correctly initialize + the variable "format", because this variable + was disturbed by the new initialization code. + +10/22/97 (bug-fix) Applied the official patch #1 to libz 1.0.4. + This makes the library more robust in respect to + corrupted compressed streams. (see README.ZLIB) + +11/1/97 (bug-fix, feature change) Upgraded tiff library + to version 3.4.37 (was 3.4.33) + +11/1/97 Eliminated the function Tk_ParseArgv(), which makes + the tiff- and jpeg- handlers thread-safe. As long as + Tk is not thread-safe this doesn't help much, but at + least Img is prepared now for the multi-threaded future. + +11/3/97 Added rule to makefile.vc to build Img for Tk8.1. This is + not guaranteed because Tk8.1 is not released yet, but if + there are not too much incompatibilities it should work. + +11/3/97 Enhanced the bitmap image type (in patch.tk8) to use + the new Tcl_Obj API. + +11/9/97 (feature change) Adapted patch.tk4 and patch.tk8 such + that "imageName read" and "imageName put" now return + the format of the readed data in stead of the empty string. + +11/9/97 (feature change) Added logluv compression support to + TIFF format handler. + +11/9/97 Recreated patch.tk8 using Tk8.0p1, and also created + new files patchtk8.tgz and patchtk8.zip from it. + Documented that Img is now tested with Tk8.0p1 as well. + +----------------- Released 1.1p2, 11/10/97 ----------------------- + +11/15/97 (new feature) Added imgWindow.c + +11/25/97 (new feature) Added libttf.so (ttf.dll on Windows) + +11/27/97 (enhancement) Made the changes required by the new Apple + Universal Headers V.3.0, so that Img will compile with CW Pro 2. + +11/30/97 PNG hopepage has moved. Changed README.PNG accordingly. + +12/7/97 Added PDF encoder, using ghostscript. Doesn't work yet. + +12/15/97 Removed support for Tk4.2. + +12/30/97 Added support for byteArrays. This fixes binary I/O in + combination with Tk8.1a1. + +1/27/98 Added patch.tk81a1, created with the official Tk8.1a1 + distribution. + +1/28/98 Upgrade to libz version 1.0.8. + +----------------- Released 1.2a1, 1/28/98 ----------------------- + +2/27/98 Upgrade to libz version 1.0.8. + +2/27/98 Upgrade to libpng version 0.99d, fixing shared library + version number to 2.0.99, as suggested by png.h. + +10/25/98 Fixed imgWindow.c for Windows. Patch supplied by + Robin Becker <robin@jessikat.demon.co.uk>. + +11/19/98 Upgrade to libz 1.1.3, libpng 1.0.2 and libttf 2.0.1. + +11/19/98 Fixed configure script in order to work with Tcl8.0.3 + and also the upcoming 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 + +3/14/99 Added 8.1b2 compatible Stub support + +3/14/99 Removed libttf and libgif support. + +----------------- Released 1.2b1, 3/14/99 ----------------------- + +3/19/99 Finished "Makefile.gnu". Some more tweaking of Tk and CygWin + header-files is needed to make it work, but at least Img has + full CygWin support now. Only works with CygWin B20.1 and higher. + +3/29/99 Better support for byte-compiler in demo.tcl and tkv.tcl, + using {}'s around expressions always. Also removing + old Tk4.2 compatible menu-code. + +3/29/99 Internal changes, using Tcl_Obj's in more places. + Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons. This will make the + port to perl/Tk easier. + +3/29/99 Upgrade to libpng 1.0.3 + +----------------- Released 1.2b2, 3/29/99 ----------------------- + +5/23/99 Documentation enhancements: Everything is available in + html now. + +----------------- Released 1.2, 5/23/99 ----------------------- + +9/3/99 Added suitable patch for Tk8.2.0 + +9/7/99 Modified BMP generation to generate 8-bit paletted if + there are less than 257 colors but more than 512 pixels. + Donated by Roger E Critchlow Jr <rec@elf.org> + +9/7/99 Upgraded tiff library to version 3.5.1, thereby disabling + lzw support. + +----------------- Released 1.2.1, 9/16/99 ----------------------- + +10/16/99 Upgraded tiff library to version 3.5.2 and png library + to version 1.0.5. LZW-support is still disabled. + +10/19/99 Modified PNG gamma correction following the latest + PNG 1.2 specification. + +10/26/99 Applied official fax3-patch to libtiff 3.5.2, fixing + certain fax3 images (whatever that may be.....). + +10/26/99 Modified zlib to use the _stdcall in stead of the _cdecl + convention. This is the way Gilles Vollent compiles it's + zlib dll's, and he is the 'official' zlib windows maintainer. + INCOMPATIBLE on Windows!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +10/26/99 Fixed undocumented base-64 encoder/decoder to correctly + report "wrong number of arguments". + +10/27/99 Fixed bug in BMP handler, which caused sometimes colors + to be distorted when reading certain BMP images. + +----------------- Released 1.2.2, 10/27/99 ----------------------- + +11/10/99 Modified all handlers to use the extended Photo API when + running with Tk8.3 or higher. + +11/10/99 Fixed tkv.tcl (from demo.tcl) and tests to be independant + from working directory. + +11/10/99 Fixed libpng/makefile.vc to use _stdcall convention for + zlib functions. + +1/15/2000 Fixed "-encoding none" problem. + +1/15/2000 Upgraded libtiff to version 3.5.4 + +1/15/2000 All handler names are now in lower-case. + +----------------- Released 1.2.3, 1/16/2000 ----------------------- + +5/7/2000 Added some missing symbols to tclLoadNone.c + +5/7/2000 Fixed missing "-rpath" option. Bug reported by Larry Virden. + +5/7/2000 Made PNG handler independant of jmpbuf support in libpng. + This makes Img work with libpng 1.1 (still in beta, and + unlikely ever to be released to the public), and hopefully + also with more future libpng versions. + +5/10/2000 Fixed possible infinite loop in XBM format handler. Bug + reported by Gianandrea Rigoni + +5/11/2000 Changed URL of zlib and libpng to point to the current + location everywhere. + +7/8/2000 Upgraded libtiff to version 3.5.5 + +7/9/2000 Internationalized demo.tcl and tkv.tcl + +7/13/2000 Bug-fix in BMP write function. If an image contained more + than 256 colors, only the first 256 where stored in the + color table. Bug reported by higuchi@cov.tytlabs.co.jp + +8/9/2000 Upgraded libpng to version 1.0.8 + +8/11/2000 Fixed Postscript handling when the image size is larger + than the default page size. BUG-report and fix suggestion + by Carlos Vidal. + +8/12/2000 Made PNG handler independant of the png_init_io() function + and stdio; some libpng versions (e.g. the official dll's + for Windows from the PNG group) lack this function + (and for a good reason............). + +8/12/2000 Removed the patches subdirectory from the distribution. If + you are able to install the patches, you are also able to + install Tcl 8.3.2 (or higher), which is a much better idea. + +----------------- Released 1.2.4, 8/13/2000 ----------------------- |
