 | |
|   * Added Drawable objects (DrawablePushPattern & DrawablePopPattern)
 | |
|     for definining arbitrary named patterns to be used for stroke and fill.
 | |
|   * Added Image strokePattern() and fillPattern() methods for specifying
 | |

 | |
|     exit to avoid annoying memory leak tools.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (5.4.0)

 | |
|     the memory was allocated from.  Used to assume the C++ allocator.
 | |
|     This resolves a bug on some platforms (e.g. Windows).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added Image 'opacity' method (and STL opacityImage()) to set, or
 | |
|     attenuate, image opacity.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added Image 'type' method (and STL typeImage()) to set image
 | |
|     representation type.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Image depth method now adjusts pixels to match specified image depth,
 | |
|     and reports depth based on current image pixels.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (5.3.8)
 | |
|   * New class 'TypeMetric' to contain font type metrics.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * New Image method 'fontTypeMetrics()' to obtain font type metrics.

| 
 | |
|   * Image colorMap method automatically extends the colormap if index
 | |
|     is past the end of the current colormap.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added clipMask method to add a clip mask to the current
 | |
|     image. Prevents modification to image pixels wherever the
 | |
|     associated clip mask image is tranparent.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Documented methods which were added previously, but left
 | |
|     undocumented.
 | |

 | |
| (5.3.7)
 | |
|   * No changes.
 | |
|

 | |
|   * Released with ImageMagick 5.2
 | |
|   * New class 'Pixels' to support low-level pixel access in image. New
 | |

 | |
|   * Dramatically improved performance for text annotation and drawing.
 | |
|   * Fix text annotation bug which did not allow spaces in annotation text.
 | |
|   * Added gaussianBlurImage() method.
 | |
|   * Fixed bug in floodFillTexture().
 | |
|   * Re-worked error reporting methodology to use re-entrant error

 | |
|   * Should be thread-safe under Win32 now.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.9.2)
 | |
|   * Released with ImageMagick 5.1.1
 | |
|   * Should be thread-safe when used with POSIX threads (pthreads).

|     writePixels, in order to provide low-level access to Image pixels.
 | |
|   * Bugfix: size method was setting Options size, but not Image rows
 | |
|     and columns.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.9.1)
 | |
|   * Released with ImageMagick 5.1.0
 | |
|   * Added additional constructors, read, and write methods for BLOBs
 | |
|     to make BLOBs easier to use.

 | |
|   * Renamed transformColorSpace() to colorSpace() and added a
 | |
|     colorSpace() accessor method.
 | |
|   * Renamed psPageSize() to page(), which now properly returns the
 | |
|     actual attribute from the image, rather than the image options.
 | |
|     This is important in order to manipulate GIF animations.
 | |
|   * Bug fixes.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.9)
 | |
|   * Ported to ImageMagick 5.0.
 | |
|   * BLOB sizes are now specified using size_t type.
 | |
|   * Rotate() no longer accepts sharpen or crop options.
 | |
|   * Shear() No longer accepts a crop option.
 | |
|   * FontPointsize() now takes a double.
 | |
|   * The condense, uncondense, and condensed methods have been removed
 | |
|     since ImageMagick 5.0 no longer uses run-length encoding.
 | |
|   * The quantizeError method has been removed since it never worked.
 | |
|   * The cacheThreshold method is added to set the threshold of
 | |
|     ImageMagick's image cache.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.9)
 | |
|   * Released with ImageMagick 4.2.9
 | |
|   * Blob reference counting was totally broken, leading to a memory
 | |
|     leak if it was used.  Fixed by starting reference count from one
 | |
|     rather than zero.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.8)
 | |
|   * Fixed a Image constructor bug when constructing from a Blob
 | |

| (0.8.7)
 | |
|   * Bugfix: condensed() was returning wrong state.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.6)
 | |
|   * Color is now based on ImageMagick's RunlengthPacket structure (via a
 | |
|     pointer) so that it may eventually be used to represent an image
 | |
|     pixel.  This is currently a work in progress.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.5)
 | |
|   * Headers are now installed under prefix/include/Magick++ on Unix
 | |
|     systems with the exception that Magick++.h is installed under
 | |
|     prefix/include as it was before.  Programs which include Magick++.h
 | |
|     (the documented approach) should not be impacted.
 | |
|   * Image constructors to construct an image from a BLOB.
 | |
|   * Image read and write methods to decode and encode images stored in a
 | |
|     BLOB.  This allows reading/writing image "files" from/to memory rather
 | |
|     than a traditional file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.4)
 | |
|   * New mapImages algorithm maps a sequence of images to the colormap of
 | |
|     a provided image.

 | |
|   * Added Blob class to support supplying formatted binary data to methods.
 | |
|   * Added support for setting ICC and IPTC profiles from a binary BLOB.
 | |
|   * Added support for transformations of image data to/from alternate
 | |
|     colorspace (e.g. CYMK).
 | |
|   * Added support for 'pinging' an image (get image dimensions/size quickly).
 | |
|   * Added 'uncondense' method to de-compress in-memory image data.
 | |
|   * Added support for annotation using rotated text.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.8.1)

|   * Transitioned to Beta
 | |
|   * Improved Microsoft Visual C++ build environment.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.7.4)
 | |
|   * Added animateImages() and displayImages() to MagickSTL.h.
 | |
|   * Added function objects to support setting image attributes.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.7.3)
 | |
|   * Image::penTexture() now takes Image reference rather than
 | |
|     Image pointer.  Set Image to invalid using isValid(false)
 | |
|     to unset texture.
 | |
|   * Attribute methods that take Color, Geometry, Image, or string
 | |
|     arguments may now unset the attribute by setting the state of
 | |
|     the object to invalid using isValid(false), or the empty string
 | |
|     (in the case of string).  This allows full control over ImageMagick
 | |
|     attributes which are stored as C strings which may be set to NULL.
 | |
|   * Updated for ImageMagick 4.2.1
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.7.2)
 | |
|   * Added STL function object support for all Image manipulation
 | |
|     methods to support operating on all or part of the images
 | |
|     stored in an STL container.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.7.1)
 | |

 | |
|   * Changed polygon methods in Drawable to use STL list argument.
 | |
|   * Added STL list based draw method to Image.
 | |
|   * Changed Exception heirarchy to support Warning and Error sub-classes.

 | |
| 
 | |
| (0.5)
 | |
|   * Compiles and runs under Unix using egcs release 1.1 or later.
 | |
|   * Compiles and runs under Windows using Visual C++ 5.X or later.
 | |
|   * Users of Magick++ API are not exposed to ImageMagick headers.
 | |
|   * Magick++ API is namespaced under "Magick".
 | |
|   * "Magick" prefix removed from object names.
 | |
|   * User options are now completely contained within Image object.
 | |
|     There is no longer a MagickOptions parameter to some methods.

 | |
|     supported.
 | |

 | |
|     copies through the use of reference counting, and may be compared
 | |
|     via standard operators.
 | |
|   * Geometry, color, annotations, and user-options are supported by
 | |
|     separate classes.
 | |
|   * Errors are reported synchronously via C++ exceptions.
