<dt>2012-04-10 6.7.6-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fixed log known alpha*kernel normalization bug in morphology convolve.</li>
Convolve kernel weights have been separated from alpha blend handling. Un-normalized kernels applied to images with active alpha will no longer be auto-normalized due to the effect of alpha blending. The bug causes images using the default channel setting and having an alpha channel to automatically 'normalize' the results of a convolve during the handling of alpha blending. This probably would cause severe effects when a zero-summing kernel is being used on an image containing an active (though likely fully-opaque) alpha channel, as division by near zero weights would cause extreme color values in results. This bug is not normally seen as convolution, which is normally applied only to fully-opaque images. And using a zero-summing kernel on an image with alpha also results in a transparent image! This is why it was not fixed up until now.</li>

<li> Prevent DES when parsing a maliciously crafted image with an IFD whose all IOP tags' value offsets point to the beginning of the IFD itself [CVE-2012-0248].</li>
<li> Caption with Pango support no longer return a blank canvas.</li>
<li> Fixed -black-threshold and -white-threshold so they work properly with the -channels option (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=20096).</li>
<li> Removed PNG_USE_CLONE cruft from the PNG encoder (see 2011-11-19 entry)</li>
<li> Promote image depths 9-15 to 16 to avoid crashing in the PNG encoder (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=20098).</li>
<li> Read concatenated arcs correctly in a SVG path (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19992).</li>
<li> PDF's now convert properly with -define pdf:use-cropbox=true (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=20033).</li>
<li> Add GetQuantumFormat() method to return the quantum format (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=19961).</li>
<li> Allow unspecified width/height in geometries with the aspect flag (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19964).</li>
<li> MagickGetImageDepth() no longer returns the depth setting but instead computes the depth of the image.</li>
<dt>2011-12-02 6.7.4-0 Anthony <quetzlzacatenango@image...></dt>
<li> Fixed Equal-Area Cropping (size and minimum of delta increments)</li>
<li> Ensure that the GIF encoder writes a large enough logical screen (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19734).</li>
<li> Fix small memory leak in the TIFF coder.</li>
<li> Support -debug accelerate option.</li>
<li> Support -includearch-dir and -sharearch-dir configure option (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19720).</li>
<li> Add "png:format" property with possible values png8, png24, and png32, for use when prepending the format type to the filename is not convenient or is not possible, e.g., when embedding the PNG in a PNG-encoded ICO.</li>
<li> Prevent infinite loop when font is too large for specified width (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19502).</li>
<li> Fix LFS cross-compile detection (patch from Mike Frysinger).</li>
<li> Add open_utf8(), fopen_utf8(), access_utf8(), etc. utility methods.</li>
<li> A small memory overwrite when reading TIFF with 1-bit alpha (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19417).</li>
<li> Remove a 2 byte memory leak when checking for environment variables.</li>
<li> Write grayscale MIFF as a single gray pixel component, not RGB (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=19403).</li>
<li> Bail gracefully for corrupt JPEG images.</li>
<li> Bail gracefully for negative montage geometries (references https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735599).</li>
<li> Account for DCm bits allocated 16 and significant bits 12 (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19420).</li>
<li> Fix bug when appending JPEG image profiles (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=19429).</li>
<li> Revised configure.ac (and configure) to look for -lpng15, -lpng14, -lpng12, and -lpng in that order instead of just -lpng. This should help find a consistent library and headers when users upgrade their libpng delegate from one version to another, incompatible version.</li>
<li> The "-strip" option was excluding the PNG tRNS chunk (see 6.6.6-7, below); revised the -strip option so it behaves as if "-define PNG:include-chunk=none,trns,gama" had appeared on the commandline.</li>
<li> When writing a PNG8 and more than one transparent color is present, merge them into the image->background_color (Reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=19329), finishing the implementation started in version 6.6.8-7.</li>
<li> The PNG encoder would sometimes fail to respect the -define PNG:color-type option when the incoming image was PseudoClass (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=19262).</li>
<li> Use zlib default compression strategy instead of Z_RLE and Z_FIXED strategies when linking with zlib versions (prior to 1.2.0 and 1.2.2.2, respectively) that don't support them.</li>
<li> Exit test loop sooner in coders/png.c when a non-gray pixel is found.</li>
<li> Added "-define PNG:compression-level|strategy|filter=value" options to the PNG encoder. If these options are used, they take precedence over the -quality option (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?&f=1&p=73548).</li>
<li> Handle "-quality 97" properly in the png encoder, i.e., use intrapixel filtering when writing a MNG file and no filtering when writing a PNG file.</li>
<li> Added support for Z_RLE strategy in the png compressor, using -quality 98 or 99.</li>
<li> Properly allocate points when render text with large font size (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18997).</li>
<dt>2011-06-14 6.7.0-8 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added Initial implementation of Cylinder to/from Plane 3D Distorts Includes derivative (scaled lookup), and anti-aliased horizon (validity) Currently can NOT handle extractions from full 360 cylinder panoramas.</li>
<li> The PNG encoder would sometimes make black pixels transparent when some other gray level was supposed to be the transparent color (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18900). This occurred only with 1, 2, 4-bit grayscale images with Q16 or Q32 builds.</li>
<li> The PNG encoder now respects the -depth setting, including 1, 2, 4. Previously settings other than 8 and 16 were ignored (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18412).</li>
<li> Fixed some cut-and-paste errors in new png.c code that caused PNG8 reductions to fail.</li>
<dt>2011-05-02 6.6.9-8 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Add various Option Flags, and fix option skip counts for plus forms of simple operators where plus form is the same as minus form. For example the incorrect counts produces a weird error, and possible future segmentation fault in a command like convert rose: +border show:</li>
<li> Write the proper bKGD chunk value in grayscale PNG images (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18624).</li>
<dt>2011-04-25 6.6.9-7 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added Inverse method for Sparse Color Interpolation</li>
<dt>2011-04-21 6.6.9-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Make filter:blur define a multiplicative adjustment of filter settings rather than a complete override of those settings.</li>
<li> Add Flags to CommandOptions parse table, removing the need for ImageListOptions parsing table. This is the start of development to produce a "convert" replacement that can read options from both command line and from files or pipelines, in "Do it Immediately" handling.</li>
<li> Added "date" to the things that can appear on the -define PNG:exclude-chunk list. This excludes the IM-generated Date:modify and Date:create properties from PNG output text chunks without excluding the rest of the text chunks.</li>
<li> Added "#define PNG_PTR_NORETURN" because this macro does not work on all platforms with libpng15, with failure to load png_longjmp() (ref https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18518).</li>
<dt>2011-04-14 6.6.9-5 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Layers Composition Bug Fix, animations attributes of first image not transferred in a single destination, multi-source image composition.</li>
<dt>2011-04-09 6.6.9-5 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Add a special 'Voronoi' Morphology Distance method that will fill in holes using the nearest non-transparent edge pixel. It is experimental, and hidden from normal morphology usage, as it may be interfaced with a future hole-filling color 'Diffusion' method.</li>
<li> MIFF keywords sometimes includes spaces.</li>
<dt>2011-04-07 6.6.9-5 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Major BUG FIX - wrong sign breaks most morphology methods in IM v6.6.9-4</li>
<li> Fixed -region handling of transparency. Original images without transparency will use 'Over' while images with transparency will preserve transparency using 'Copy'. Before this only 'Over' was used due to the testing of the wrong image.</li>
<li> Added Compose methods DarkenIntensity and LightenIntensity</li>
<li> Make the PNG encoder use depth==8 when incoming image->depth < 8 (the encoder later reduces the depth if it can), to avoid writing an incorrect image.</li>
<li> Remove any bogus colormap received by the PNG encoder with an image that is not PseudoClass (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18475).</li>
<li> Set the caption height correctly for missing row geometry (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18447).</li>
<li> Revised the png decoder to store the PNG IHDR and other known PNG chunk data as properties, for later retrieval and reporting by "identify", so users can easily and reliably discover the color-type, bit-depth, etc that were in the input PNG datastream.</li>
<li> The PNG decoder sometimes set images with more than 256 different gray-alpha pixels to storage_class=PseudoClass with an incorrect colormap.</li>
<dt>2011-03-30 6.6.9-2 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Add a "Resize" distortion method (distort equivalent of -resize).</li>
<li> Special CLI handling so -distort Resize takes a "geometry" argument.</li>
<li> Remove version from etc folder and instead use /etc/ImageMagick.</li>
<dt>2011-03-28 6.6.9-0 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Separated complex cropping function from TransformImage() as a new function CropImageToTiles(). This new function returns either the new cropped image, or a list of tiles, according to geometry, without replacing the source image. The Source image may be part of a larger list of images, without the function 'losing' the other images of the list.</li>
<dt>2011-03-27 6.6.8-10 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Modified image handling in MogrifyImages() and MogrifyImage() which improves overall handling, and allows correct %p, %n and the %[fx:..] 't' and 'n' escape usage to work correctly.</li>
<li> Added -duplicate as a multi-image sequence operator</li>
<li> Revised the PNG8 encoder to use 50% threshold instead of 0% when reducing transparency to binary. Collapse all resulting fully transparent colors into one (the background color), to reduce the compressed filesize.</li>
<li> First try the 4-4-4-1 and 3-3-3-1 palettes instead of 3-3-2-1, to preserve colors (especially gray) better, when reducing to PNG8.</li>
<li> Force the PNG encoder to return image->matte==MagickTrue when the format is RGBA or GA or if the tRNS chunk is present, even when the image is fully opaque (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18349).</li>
<li> Re-enabled reduction of grayscale images (color-type 0) to 2 or 4 bits when appropriate (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18098).</li>
<li> The "-define PNG:color-type=4" option did not always force the PNG encoder to write an all-opaque alpha channel (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18349).</li>
<li> Fixed memory leak for PDF and Bitmap PSD RLE support (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18317).</li>
<li> Support the -statistic option: replace each pixel with corresponding statistic from the neighborhood.</li>
<li> Add support for -duplicate option.</li>
<li> Move configuration files from /usr/share and /usr/lib to /etc and /var.</li>
<li> Do not cache the results of fx: otherwise -format '%[fx:rand()] %[fx:rand()]' returns the same random numbers.</li>
<dt>2011-03-18 6.6.8-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Replaced Minus and Divide Composition methods with Dst and Src equivalents. Now users can decide how these non-commutative mathematical operators are applied to the images being composited.</li>
<li> Fix the percent escape values for %p, %n and %[fx:t], %[fx:n] to respectively mean the current images index and the total number of images within the current image sequence.</li>
<dt>2011-03-17 6.6.8-5 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Backed out the patch for Variable Blur Composition that was added 2011-02-13 v6.6.7-7, until I can re-think the problem. The existing fix was failing to do circular blurs correctly.</li>
<li> Fixed a rounding/truncation error while writing the pHYs chunk in the png encoder.</li>
<li> Don't write text-encoded profile when "-define PNG:exclude-chunk=text,ztxt" is present (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17086 and https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18225).</li>
<li> Don't try to store a bKGD chunk in a PNG8 when there are already 256 colors in the palette and the background colors is not in that palette (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18199);</li>
<li> The "-define PNG:exclude-chunk=bKGD" option was also excluding the text chunks. (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18253).</li>
<li> Fx is a mathematical function. Do not treat transparency as black.</li>
<li> No image scene suffix for filenames that include a single bracket (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18267).</li>
<li> Throw error message when the requested color-type or bit-depth cannot be written by the PNG encoder (error was being thrown into the wrong image structure). (Reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18162).</li>
<li> Don't write a PNG text chunk with "density" keyword that overrides the PNG pHYs chunk, if the pHYs chunk was not excluded (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18253).</li>
<li> Ignore any PNG text chunk with a "density" keyword found by the PNG decoder, if the PNG datastream also contains a pHYs chunk.</li>
<li> Fix scaling of new color-reduction method in the PNG encoder (16-bit images were scaled down to 0 or 1, or nearly black).</li>
<li> Delay opening the PNG output blob until the PNG encoder is ready to write the IHDR chunk, to avoid writing zero-length PNG files when errors are found while building the palette. (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18162).</li>
<li> Avoid seg fault in AppendImages() when one image is in the RGB colorspace but the other is in the CMYK colorspace.</li>
<li> Get rid of 'respect_parenthesis defined but not used' warnings (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=18173).</li>
<li> Write sub-8-bit grayscale PNG images as palette-indexed PNG images. This usually makes smaller files anyhow.</li>
<li> Eliminated a number of redundant tests for gray images in the PNG encoder.</li>
<li> Removed now-unused IsMonochromeImage() function from coders/png.c</li>
<li> Scan the colormap instead of all of the pixels, when possible, to determine whether the image received by the PNG encoder is grayscale or black-and-white.</li>
<li> Avoid reading from the colormap in coders/png.c when it is NULL (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18162).</li>
<li> Add a check whether the PNG "cheap transparency" criteria are met. That is, there is a single transparent color, no semitransparent colors, and no opaque color that has the same RGB components as the transparent color. If those aren't met, a color that is transparent in one pixel and opaque in another would always be rendered as transparent, so we must write a PNG colortype that has an alpha channel (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18167).</li>
<li> Disabled reduction of grayscale images (color-type 0) to less than 8 bits when writing because this sometimes produced incorrect output (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18098).</li>
<li> Check image has properties before accessing the splay tree (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18136).</li>
<li> The PNG encoder should ignore bogus q->opacity values when image->matte is MagickFalse (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18067).</li>
<li> Fix bug in carg() define when HAVE_COMPLEX is not defined (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=18030).</li>
<dt>2011-02-06 6.6.7-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Default sigma for Gauusian resize filter is now 1/2 for both orthogonal resize and cylindrical EWA distortions.</li>
<li> Check if the font is null in RenderFreetype() to prevent fault (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17890).</li>
<li> Eliminate fault when reading WMF image files (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=17971).</li>
<li> Support multi-page transparent Postscript and PDF image files.</li>
<li> The compare fuzz metric now returns the same correct value for 'xc:white xc:blue -alpha off' and 'xc:white xc:blue -alpha on'.</li>
<dt>2011-01-29 6.6.7-4 Paul Heckbert <ph@cs.cm...></dt>
<li> Move coders/tiff.c conditional compile to define TIFF exception / semaphore / key when TIFF delegate is disabled.</li>
<li> Renamed variables, macros, and functions defined/declared in coders/png.c that were in the libpng namespace (beginning with "png_" or "PNG_").</li>
<li> Removed a call to GetNumberColors() from the PNG encoder that was only there for debugging purposes and was consuming a huge amount of CPU time. (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=17799).</li>
<li> Sometimes black was still written as transparent, when the PNG encoder received an image with image->matte==true but no transparent pixels were present. (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17913);</li>
<li> Changed the PNG encoder's "transparent_color" from a UShortPixelPacket to LongPixelPacket and made the default (65537,65537,65537), which can never occur in the PNG image data. Previously the default was (0,0,0) and black pixels would be rendered as as transparent when no tRNS chunk was present in the input, which has caused problems with some test cases since version 6.6.6-10.</li>
<li> Improved the PNG_BUILD_PALETTE section to count opaque, transparent, and semitransparent pixels separately. Previously it wasn't always possible to determine if there was a single fully-transparent color, to decide whether to write an RGBA or Gray-Alpha image or an RGB or Gray image with a tRNS chunk.</li>
<li> Don't let the PNG encoder try to sort the colormap when there are more than 256 colors in the image. (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17834).</li>
<li> Quieted some inconsequential warnings in the PNG codec due to a change in the type of the PNG iCCP profile from png_charp to png_bytep in libpng-1.5.0.</li>
<li> Recent changes sometimes caused the PNG encoder to select colortype=2 (Truecolor) instead of 0 (Grayscale) for grayscale images. This made the filesize larger than necessary and caused some of the PerlMagick tests to fail.</li>
<li> The PNG decoder now checks whether the image actually has any transparency when the input file contains an alpha channel or a tRNS chunk. (Reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17748)</li>
<li> Use a clone instead of the main image in coders/png.c, so the image can still be used later on without being affected by changes made by the PNG encoder.</li>
<li> Added PNG:exclude-chunk and PNG:include-chunk defines.</li>
<li> Revised the -strip option so it behaves as though "-define PNG:include-chunk=none,gama" had appeared on the commandline.</li>
<li> Avoid writing PNG ancillary chunks in the PNG/MNG/JNG encoder while generating the alpha channel for a JNG image.</li>
<dt>2010-12-21 6.6.6-7 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Removed the forced interpolation setting in AcquireResampleFilterThreadSet It prevented user defined interpolation settings for -clut, and possibly other usage.</li>
<dt>2010-12-17 6.6.6-6 Chris Madison <madisonblu@gmail...></dt>
<li> Add LZMA compression support to ImageMagick.</li>
<li> Make the PNG encoder always rebuild the palette, to avoid losing transparency when it is out of sync with the pixel data (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17655).</li>
<li> Eliminated CompressColormapTransFirst() since the palette is already compressed and sorted by opacity now when it's recreated.</li>
<li> Account for virtual canvas for the -flip / -flop options (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=17626).</li>
<li> Also for -transpose and transverse options</li>
<li> Support -metric fuzz option.</li>
<dt>2010-12-09 6.6.6-4 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Replace IsMagickColorSimilar() which provides the Fuzz Factor threshold function. Note function does not calculate 'distance' in total but short-circuits when threshold is reached for faster processing.</li>
<li> Ordered Dithered handling of Alpha channel was incorrect - fixing Bug was introduced v6.6.5-6</li>
<li> Fixed two more cases where the PNG encoder lost transparency (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17516).</li>
<li> Fixed two more cases where the PNG encoder lost transparency (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17516).</li>
<li> Many of the problems with the PNG encoder have been fixed (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16490).</li>
<li> The "-type Optimize" option is now deprecated. If present, it is treated by the PNG encoder the same as if the type were undefined. Optimization is now always performed. No other formats used the "type Optimize" option.</li>
<li> Merged redundant code into LosslessReduceDepth() function in the PNG codec.</li>
<li> The splice option no longer throws spurious "pixels are not authentic" exceptions.</li>
<li> Thread the -adaptive-resize option.</li>
<li> Set XBM coder height to height not width.</li>
<dt>2010-11-14 6.6.5-9 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> Lanczos2Sharp blur tweaked. New blur = 0.9549963639785485.</li>
<dt>2010-11-13 6.6.5-9 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> LanczosSharp blur tweaked to minimize worst case deviation from "perfect preservation of images which only vary horizontally (or vertically)" under no-op. New blur = 0.9812505644269356.</li>
<dt>2010-11-08 6.6.5-8 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> Only save TIFF image with 1-bit depth if there is no alpha channel.</li>
<li> Abandon PSD composite if layer is available.</li>
<li> %[fx:mean] is the mean of the default channels (all but opacity) (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=17432).</li>
<li> Ignore PS bounding box offsets if -page is set.</li>
<li> Use #pragma omp master for dumping single threaded debugging information (single caused a fault).</li>
<li> Add support for -evaluate exp.</li>
<dt>2010-10-12 6.6.5-0 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added "filter:sigma" expert setting defining the 'sigma' for the Gaussian filter only. This is similar in action to 'blur' but only for Gaussians, and does not modify the filters support, allowing you to set a very small sigma, without the function 'missing' all pixels. (This will allow future adjustment of Gaussians for variable blur mapping)</li>
<li> Patch for DrawableRotation() and DrawableTranslation() (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17246).</li>
<li> The webp format requires the webpconv delegate program (experimental).</li>
<dt>2010-10-05 6.6.5-0 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Replaced "Robidoux" with Cubic 'Keys' filter that is near equivalent to the previous sharped "Lanczos2D" filter. (C=0.31089212245300069) This also is very similar to a Mitchell filter but specifically designed for EWA use and is the new default filter for Distorting Images.</li>
<li> Original sharpened Lanczos2D filter now called "Lanczos2Dsharp"</li>
<dt>2010-10-08 6.6.4-10 Jerry Gay <jerry.gay@gmail..></dt>
<li> Autodetect file type support in Makefile.PL to prevent test failures</li>
<dt>2010-10-05 6.6.4-10 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added new filter 'Lanczos2D' a 2-lobe Lanczos as defined by Andreas Gustafsson in his thesis "Interactive Image Warping" (page 24) http://www.gson.org/thesis/warping-thesis.pdf</li>
<li> Added filter "Robidoux" which is a slightly sharpened version of the "Lanczos2D" filter (blur=0.958033808) specifically designed to be less 'blurry' for horizontal and vertical lines in no-op distortions.</li>
<li> Fix memory assertion with --enable-embeddable (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17201).</li>
<li> Don't permit access to pixels when pinging an image (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=17194).</li>
<dt>2010-10-02 6.6.4-9 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added sqrt(2) blurring default for Gaussian Filter if used as a Cylindrical EWA filter. This resulted removing the last aliasing issue that was present in tests for Gaussian EWA resampling. Of course it is still a very blurry filter for default use in EWA.</li>
<li> Adjusted Variable Mapping Blur Composition so user arguments actual relate properly to the sigma of the blur for a maximum mapping value.</li>
<li> Fix horizon anti-aliasing for output-scaled perspective distortions.</li>
<li> 'Bessel' filter is now officially and more accurately named 'Jinc' however 'Bessel' while not visible as a filter option can still be used as an internal alias for 'Jinc'.</li>
<dt>2010-09-28 6.6.4-8 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> Chantal Racette double checked the bounding parallelogram computation in resample.c (and I tightened the comments).</li>
<li> Temporary files not always deleted (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=15960).</li>
<dt>2010-09-28 6.6.4-8 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Bug fix for -filter point distorts (occasional generating black pixels)</li>
<dt>2010-09-27 6.6.4-8 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> Simplified the ClampUpAxes code, the use of its outputs, its comments, and credited Craig DeForest for the "clamp singular values" idea.</li>
<li> No reason to have "insane" precision Sinc in resize.c: Use the 1.2e-12 max. abs. relative error version for Q64 as well as Q32.</li>
<dt>2010-09-27 6.6.4-8 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Replace the blurry "High Quality EWA" technique with a 'Clamped EWA' for Distort Resampling. This makes -distort a whole lot nicer and allows for the use of better cylindrical filters.</li>
<dt>2010-09-26 6.6.4-7 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fix Point filter for ResizeImage() caused by support limiting the Box weighting function.</li>

<li> Don't define HAVE_THREADS for --without-threads configure script option.</li>
<dt>2010-09-20 6.6.4-5 Nicolas Robidoux <nicolas.robidoux@gmai...></dt>
<li> Modified "magick/resize.c" so that MagickPIL is a MagickRealType number. Some computations were needlessly done in long double precision because PIL forced an automatic upcast wherever it appeared. Changed its name to MagickREALTYPEPI. <- This was later reverted back to MagickPIL.</li>
<li> Modified "magick/resize.c" so that Bohman uses one trig call + one sqrt call instead of two trig calls.</li>
<dt>2010-09-20 6.6.4-5 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> modified "magick/resample.c" to allow use of either EWA or HQEWA (default)</li>
<li> Removed LanczosFast from supported filters (SincFast*SincFast is faster)</li>
<li> IPTC profile not always wrapped properly inside an 8BIM profile.</li>
<li> TIFF tile geometry must be divisible by 16.</li>
<dt>2010-09-15 6.6.4-2 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Rename of SincPolynomial to SincFast for easier user understanding</li>
<li> Ditto for LanczosChebyshev to LanzcosFast</li>
<dt>2010-09-14 6.6.4-2 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Switch default resize filters to using the faster SincPolynomial filter by default internally. However 'Sinc' will still use the Trigonometric function, and can be used to assign the trig version of Sinc() to filters using the filter expert options.</li>
<li> The default filter for 'distort' was found to be a very blurry inaccurate filter function. It was removed and replaced with a correct Gaussian filter (as used by resize)</li>
<li> Added a switch so that "-interpolate filter" will force the use of a cylindrical filter for ALL pixels in distorted images. That is you can use that switch to use a cylindrical filter even for images that are being enlarged by the distortion. However EWA is still currently using a fixed 2.0 sampling radius. This switch complements the use of "-filter point" which turns off EWA filters in favor of interpolation for all pixels in a distorted image. BOTH switches should not be used together.</li>
<li> A bug in the support radius of the EWA resampling function was found, now that correctly defined resize filters are being used. Suddenly Normal Gaussian distortions are not so blurry, and tests with distortions of the 'Rings' image show extremely good and clear results, with only minimal blurring. The filter 'blur' expert option can be used to adjust this further.</li>
The above represents a major improvement forward in the quality of the image distortion operator. But near-unity distortions (no scaling) are still overly blurry.</li>
<li> The RGBO format is now listed as a supported format.</li>
<dt>2010-09-07 6.6.4-1 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added the Nicolas Robidoux and Chantal Racette Lanczos resize filter function as "LanczosChebyshev" as faster alternative to Lanczos.</li>
<li> Re-code Nicolas Robidoux and Chantal Racette Polynomial Approximation of the Sinc Trigonometric resize filter, as a proper filter to allow direct comparison and speed testing of the filter.</li>
<li> Expanded the "-set option:filter:verbose 1" output, so as to also include the actual functions and other values that were used to create the filter.</li>
<li> Fixed bug in the raw BGRA coders (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16880).</li>
<li> Fix off-by-one error in the PSD coders.</li>
<li> Nicolas Robidoux with the assistance of Chantal Racette contribute an approximation of the sinc function over the interval [-3,3].</li>

<li> The orient option sometimes improperly set "undefined" (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16795).</li>
<li> Only list orientation options for the -list orientation option (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16801).</li>
<li> Return proper standard deviation for combined channels (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16786).</li>
<li> Handle transparency properly for the PSD image format.</li>
<li> Eliminate useless message about assuming zero delay when writing a single-frame MNG, and changed it from Error to Warning when writing a multiple-frame MNG.</li>
<li> Don't "ping" a PNG image if it is embedded in a MNG. Otherwise the reader tries to read MNG chunks from the interior of the embedded PNG, resulting in an erroneous "corrupted image" message.</li>
<li> The PNG decoder failed to handle the tRNS chunk properly for grayscale images where the PNG bit_depth was not the same as the quantum depth, and the transparent color was not black.</li>
<dt>2010-07-01 6.6.3-0 Chris Madison <madisonblu@gmail...></dt>
<li> Pinging the DJVU image format no longer faults.</li>
<li> Check for time-limit-exceeded in only one thread.</li>
<li> Reading filenames from a file (e.g. @filenames) no longer includes the utility name (side effect of StringToArgv() method).</li>
<li> Properly scale color components of the PNG bKGD chunk.</li>
<li> Prevent MNG divide by zero in calculation of frame_timeout. Set both frame_delay and frame_timeout to infinite when ticks_per_second is zero, as required by the MNG spec.</li>
<li> Respect density when rendering SVG images.</li>
<li> Set AVI handler to the MPEG coder.</li>
<li> Compute the proper DPX user data field size.</li>
<li> Do not interpret a format specifier when enclosed in brackets (e.g. rose_tile_%[filename:tile].gif.</li>
<li> Use 64-bit types when compiling with the 64-bit Visual C++ compiler under Windows.</li>
<li> Prevent MNG divide by zero in calculation of frame_delay (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=16320).</li>
<dt>2010-05-23 6.6.2-0 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Third Re-write of MorphologyApply() to better handle compound methods.</li>
<li> Implemented -set option:morphology:compose for merging results of multiple kernels. "None" means re-iterate results with next kernel. While "Undefined" means to use the internal default for a method. Thinning, Thickening, HitAndMiss, Convolve, Correlate defaults to "None" while HitAndMiss defaults to "Lighten" (union of all kernel results). Other morphology methods defaults still to be decided.</li>
<li> PSD images require a proper layer to support an alpha channel.</li>
<li> Enable PFM endian support.</li>
<li> Add context to -border for montage. Inside the parenthesis it adds a border to the image otherwise it sets the border for the layout manager.</li>
<li> 24-bit BMP images are not colormapped even if header colors != 0.</li>
<li> Set DPX user data like this: -set profile dpx:userdata.txt.</li>
<li> Make sure Lab => RGB => Lab survives the round trip.</li>
<li> Increase the estimated # points for the path drawing primitive.</li>
<li> Remove any prior resolution block from PSD before writing the new block.</li>
<dt>2010-05-14 6.6.1-9 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Addition of more Morphological/Convolution Kernels. DOG (Difference of Gaussians) and DOB (Difference of Blurs), EG: -morphology convolve DOG:0x1,3 -morphology convolve DOB:0x1,3,90</li>
<li> Do not claim gray colorspace if gray image includes a non-gray pixel.</li>
<li> Initialize BMP alpha channel to opaque for RGB images.</li>
<li> Fixed under allocation for round rectangles.</li>
<li> The -list option returns a 0 status as expected.</li>
<dt>2010-05-06 6.6.1-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Made use of new no-'sync' channel enabled mathematical compose methods for the difference morphology methods. These should now work correctly for specific channels, and more importantly for alpha shaped morphology.</li>
<li> Simplified and corrected rowbytes calculation in coders/png.c and added more logging.</li>
<dt>2010-05-05 6.6.1-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Rename of "Add" and "Subtract" compositions to "ModulusAdd" and "ModulusSubtract" for more clarity of there functions. Old names will continue to work as expected.</li>
<li> Fix "Minus", "ModulusAdd", and "ModulusSubtract" to follow normal SVG 'Over' blending specifications, (see next for override) Note that this does NOT include the "Plus" composition method which has SVG definition for it to use a 'Plus' blending rather than 'Over' blending.</li>
<li> By default mathematical compositions work as per SVG definition. That is the results are synchronized with 'Over' alpha-blending (except "Plus" which uses 'plus' alpha-blending).</li>
<li> By removing the default 'sync' flag from the -channel setting however Break this inter-channel synchronization and do the mathematical operations only on the individual channels as specified by the -channel setting. That is do 'channel' math rather than 'SVG' composition.</li>
<li> With this change you can then use mathematical composition methods on individual channels or even with the alpha channel of images.</li>
<dt>2010-04-28 6.6.1-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Special case handling in Barrel distortion (pixel at image center)</li>

<dt>2010-04-06 6.6.1-1 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fixed bug in -auto-level for special case when only one value is present in some channel of the image. In this case no 'stretch is performed, just as -normalize does.</li>
<li> Respect the -density option when rendering a Postscript or PDF image.</li>
<li> Distort barrel no longer complains when 3 arguments are given (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=15883).</li>

<li> Check to see if ICON image width /height exceeds that of the image canvas.</li>
<li> Set the DPX descriptor to Luma only if the image type is not TrueColor.</li>
<li> Add support for -fx airy(), j0(), j1(), jinc(), and sinc() (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=15685). Anthony, review these for correctness.</li>
<li> Don't embed an XMP profile in an EPS image for now.</li>
<li> Make -define png:color-type less persnickety about what it will accept.</li>
<dt>2010-01-24 6.5.9-1 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> added use of -precision in 'showkernel' output of -morphology</li>
<li> correct use of a 'reflected kernel' for 'Convolve' 'Dilate' and 'Distance' Morphology primitives. This does not have a performance hit, though is only truely applicable when the kernel is asymmetric. Note that 'Erode' does not use a 'reflected' kernel, so that 'Open' and 'Close' operations work properly. This 'reflected usage is defined by online morphology lecture notes (Google for "EECE Binary Morphology")</li>
<li> Added convolve kernel scaling setting "-set option:convolve:scale N" If undefined morphology convolve does not do any scaling or normalization of the convolution kernel. A value of 0.0 causes normalization for both zero and non-zero (added weights) kernel types.</li>
<li> Add support for compact floating point (i.e. -depth 16 -define quantum:format=floating-point).</li>
<li> Transparent images no longer flicker on certain system when using the display program.</li>
<li> Permit interactive resizing with the display program.</li>
<li> Support heterogeneous distributed processing, see ../www/architecture.html#distributed.</li>
<li> Fix semaphore assertion when reading a corrupt image with Magick++.</li>

<li> Add support for the BGRA raw image format.</li>
<dt>2010-01-04 6.5.9-0 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added Kernel Generator to generate kernels from user strings, which allows the generation in many built in kernels for both Convolution and other Morphological methods. New Kernels currently include.. Convolution: Gaussian, Blur, Comet Morphological: Rectangle, Square, Diamond, Disk, Plus Distance: Chebyshev, Manhatten, Knight, Euclidean And both old and new (rectangular) user defined kernel specifications including the use of 'nan' to represent elements which are not part of the kernel definition. List built-in kernel types use "-list kernel"</li>
<li> Added -morphology {method}[:{iteration}] {kernel_string} Initial methods includes no only the basic morphology methods: Dilate, Erode, Open, Close; and a pixel color preserving 'Intensity' version, but also the special methods: Convolve, and Distance. Of course the appropriate kernel should be provided for each specific method.</li>
<li> Read / write 32-bit SUN raster images with a odd width.</li>
<li> Cairo format returns pixels with the alpha premultiplied (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=15081).</li>
<li> SVG compile error when if MAGICKCORE_CAIRO_DELEGATE is not defined.</li>
<dt>2009-08-23 6.5.5-1 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Bug Fix for transparency handling in Composite Variable Blur</li>
<li> Addition of -auto-level and -auto-gamma image enhancements (under trial not yet final)</li>
<li> Addition of a special -channel flag 'sync' which means that the specified channels are to be modified together by the same amount. The flag is enabled by default. This replaces the current 'channels not modified' type handling thought IM.</li>
<li> Modified -channel parsing to continue looking for words, after handling any shorthand channel options. For example: -channel RGB,sync</li>
<li> The -thumbnail option no longer removes color profiles (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=14312).</li>
<li> Do not scale real / imaginary FFT / IFT.</li>
<li> Check for localtime() NULL return.</li>

<li> Fails to load MS Windows icons with compressed PNG elements (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=14324).</li>
<li> More than one -dispose setting overwrote previous settings (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=14252).</li>
<li> Don't use JPEG's color reduction algorithm for less than 8 colors.</li>
<dt>2009-07-13 6.5.4-3 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Final testing and bug fixes for all mathematical compose methods Including non-overlapping regions bugs found in in operators Divide, ColorDodge, VividLight. And the handling of transparency to follow standard 'Over' Blending in Divide. Only math methods not looked at are the addition methods Plus, Add, Minus, and Subtract, which do not follow normal 'Over' alpha blending behavior, for the purposes of mask handling.</li>
<dt>2009-07-12 6.5.4-3 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Addition of user definable 'Mathematics' compose method -compose Mathematics -set option:compose:args A,B,C,D -composite Will implement the formula f(Sc,Dc) = A*Sc*Dc + B*Sc + C*Dc + D this lets you implement most smooth polynomial compose methods. (requested by Fred WienHaus)</li>
<dt>2009-07-11 6.5.4-3 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Finished the recoding of Composite methods to allow easier debugging and faster access.</li>
<li> Added PegtopLight compose method as an alternative simpler Softlight alternative. See notes and comparison to SoftLight in... http://www.pegtop.net/delphi/articles/blendmodes/softlight.htm</li>
<li> From the notes on Photoshop blend modes at http://www.simplefilter.de/en/basics/mixmods.html Added extra composition modes: VividLight, PinLight, LinearBurn, LinearDodge NOTE: 'LinearBurn' the same as 'Plus' but with the normal 'Over' blending.</li>
<dt>2009-07-10 6.5.4-3 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Re-coding of Composite methods HardLight, SoftLight, Overlay, LinearLight, ColorBurn, ColorDodge, Multiply, Screen to make it more readable, easier to debug, and directly comparable to SVG specifications.</li>
<li> Specifications changed for SoftLight, ColorBurn, ColorDodge Though only SoftLight changed to significantly.</li>
<li> However implementation errors were found for ColorBurn, LinearLight</li>

<li> Default scaling to width/2 and height/2 of overlay (100% scale) with a distortion 'center' to the middle of the overlay image</li>
<li> If a '%' flag given scale displacement relative to image size</li>
<li> If a '!' flag given make scale and center relative to 'background' image instead of the overlay map.</li>
<li> If no 'height' scale given, use the X scale.</li>
<dt>2009-06-13 6.5.3-6 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fixed bug for compose methods, Hue, Saturate, Luminize</li>
<li> Added the HALD image Color LUT, and a no-op HALD: image generator. See Introduction at http://www.quelsolaar.com/technology/clut.html</li>
<dt>2009-06-07 6.5.3-4 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Changed CompositeImageChannel() so that extra compose arguments are now passed in the ImageArtifact "compose:args". This can be assigned to images using -set "option:compose:args" 'args' where args are defined using 'geometry' style or 'comma separated numbers'.</li>
<li> Declared the special flag needed for Composite Tiling as the ImageArtifact "compose:outside-overlay".</li>
<li> Documentation update for CompositeImageChannel() in Core Library to reflect these changes.</li>
<li> Documentation update for DistortImage() in Core Library with the extra ImageArtifact controls it can use.</li>
<li> Bug correction in normalization of GetOptimalKernelWidth2D() of gem.c</li>
<dt>2009-06-06 6.5.3-3 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Documentation update for CompositeImageChannel() in Core Library. This adds the information on how extra compose arguments needed for specific compose methods are actually passed to the library function. Compose methods such as Blend, Dissolve and Displace.</li>
<li> Progress on "-define png:bit-depth=value" and "-define png:color-type=value" It is now able to write an opaque black-and-white image in any of the 15 valid combinations of PNG color-type and bit-depth.</li>
<li> Fixed a regression with writing sub-8-bit grayscale PNGs.</li>
<dt>2009-05-06 6.5.2-2 Chris Madison <madisonblu@gmail...></dt>
<li> Create 8-bit TIFF images if -depth is set to 8 and HDRI-enable ImageMagick.</li>
<dt>2009-05-04 6.5.2-1 Chris Madison <madisonblu@gmail...></dt>
<li> Accept file lists on the command line (e.g. echo "rose: rose.png" | convert @- ...).</li>
<li> Duplicate line in tiff.c breaking read of zip compressed tif (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=13688).</li>
<li> Support policies to permit or deny any coder, delegate, filter, or file path (see policy.xml).</li>
<dt>2009-05-02 6.5.2-0 Chris Madison <madisonblu@gmail...></dt>
<li> The mogrify -crop option returns multiple images if an x/y offset is not specified (e.g. -crop 100x100).</li>
<li> Generate a proper file path for -path @filelist.txt (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=1&t=13671).</li>
<li> Accept "-define png:bit-depth=value" and "-define png:color-type=value" options. This is work-in-progress with the objective of being able to precisely specify the type of PNG file to be written. The previously-used internal attribute "png:bit-depth" that was used to communicate between the PNG writer and the JNG writer is changed to "png:bit-depth-written". This feature needs testing. It is important to note that this feature cannot be used to force the PNG to use a bit-depth or color-type that does not losslessly represent the image. You can, however, cause the writer to use a larger depth or to use the RGB colorspace when grayscale or indexed would have been sufficient.</li>
<dt>2009-05-01 6.5.1-10 Anthony Thyssen <A.Thyssen@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fixed the Rmin usage in Depolar and Polar distortions</li>
<li> The 6th argument (Ato) for Polar/Depolar is now optional and defaults to Afrom + 360 degrees (or a fill circle from the given start angle)</li>
<li> Do not return a black image for -channel RGBA -gaussian (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=13669).</li>

<li> Support multiple JPEG images encapsulated within DICOM.</li>
<li> Sometimes the PNG8: format would produce 1-, 2-, or 4-bit PNG datastreams. Now it always produces 8-bit datastreams as users probably expect.</li>
<li> The display program now returns a 0 exit code on success (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=13579).</li>

<dt>2008-07-30 6.4.2-6 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added a "-set option:distort:scale" which scales the output 'view' by the amount given. This is directly useful for doing 'super-sampled' distorts, just set this, the scale the result back to a normal size.</li>
<dt>2008-07-27 6.4.2-5 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Rewrite on coefficient handling for DistortImages so allow for generation by other operators (SparseColor), and addition of verbose output of equivalent -fx functions for DistortImages to report of the internal coefficients that was calculated, and who they are used.</li>
<li> Initial implementation of SparseColor for interpolated gradients from sparsely separated points of color (or possibly other forms of arguments)</li>
<li> New distortion Barrel as defined by Helmut Dersch options A,B,C,D on his web page http://www.all-in-one.ee/~dersch/barrel/barrel.html And as developed by Fred WeinHaus in his PinBarrel script</li>
<li> Fixed cache nexus threading problem to avoid spurious assertions when calling the DistortImage() method.</li>
<dt>2008-07-17 6.4.2-4 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> New distortion Shepards which provide semi-localized distorts of control points within an image, as first developed for IM by Frew Weinhaus in his ShapeMorph script. http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/shapemorph/ It's almost like taffy pulling!</li>
<dt>2008-07-12 6.4.2-2 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Separate coefficient calculation from DistortImages (future development)</li>
<li> Perspective and Bilinear Distortions fallback to Affine when less than 4 point pairs are provided.</li>

<dt>2008-06-24 6.4.2-1 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added new operator +/-level-colors which will 'level' images based on colors to use for the black and white points. This lets to adjust the image in terms of mapping the given colors from/to black and white respectively.</li>
<dt>2008-06-23 6.4.2-0 Christian Lackas <christian@lacka...></dt>
<li> Fix a problem with calling mpeg2encode with parameters (%o/%i) in wrong order.</li>
<li> Add pow as an -evaluate operation, using normalized values</li>
<dt>2008-06-18 6.4.1-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added a LevelizeImageChannels() which is similar to LevelImageChannels() Function maps black and white values to the given level values. Rather than mapping the given level values to black and white. Basically a 'reverse-level' function, with different input args.</li>
<li> Set +level or a '!' flag in -level or LevelImage() to call the new 'reverse-level' function LevelizeImageChannels().</li>
<li> More work on IsMagickColorSimilar() to fix relationship between transparent-black and opaque-black, which was matched as 'similar'. Also attempts to fix 'K' channel handling for CMYK colorspace. More work on this to come.</li>
<li> Interpreting the -set option is no longer delayed.</li>
<li> Add AcquireCacheViews() and DestroyCachewViews() to the API.</li>

<li> Return MagickTrue if InvokeDynamicImageFilter() does not generate an exception (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=11065).</li>
<li> Instead of masking the PNG tRNS values when reducing from 16-bit, set image->matte to MagickFalse and emit a warning. This will produce behavior similar to that of libpng-1.2.27 (and libpng-1.2.19 and earlier).</li>
<li> Fix fault for animate -window root image.gif.</li>
<li> Use GetImagePixels() rather than SetImagePixels() when making multiple passes and setting image pixels (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=11022).</li>
<li> Revised png.c to avoid saving unknown chunk types that will never be used later. This prevents the vulnerability described in CVE-2008-1382, with respect to all unknown chunks except vpAg. To handle an invalid, zero-length vpAg chunk properly will require libpng-1.2.27 or later.</li>
<li> SpreadImage() no longer introduces noise into the resulting image (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=10892).</li>

<li> 'verbose' filter plotting output using -define "filter:verbose"</li>
<dt>2007-10-20 6.3.6-3 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Further expansion and handling of filters with expert options. -filter selects from a table of standard filter settings, while expert options allow complete selection of filter, windowing, support and blurring options. Includes automatic switch from Sinc to Bessel for operators using 2-dimensional cylindrical filter, rather than two pass 1-dimensional orthogonal filters.</li>
<li> Expansion to add -set/define filter options</li>
<dt>2007-10-12 6.3.6-2 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Least Squares coordinate handling added for -distort methods Affine, Perspective, Bilinear. This allows for more than the minimal number of coordinates to be used to 'fit' a distortion function to an image. This addition will allow the use of image registration to generate panorama overviews and better geographical coordinate correction.</li>
<li> Consolidated the similar methods FlattenImage() and MosaicImage() into a new layers function MergeImageLayers() method, adding 'flatten' and 'mosaic' layer methods.</li>
<li> Addition of another similar layers method 'merge' which 'unlocks' the normal flatten/mosaic layer merger from the origin, The resulting image will have a virtual canvas of minimal size with an offset. Also images with negative offsets will not be clipped by the 'merge' form of the command. This was created for better layering of distorted images, such as panorama overlays.</li>
<li> Bug fix in handling transparency for EWA resampling.</li>
<li> Access to Resize Filter Functions from resize.c (for resample.c) with possible future filter sources... Acquire/Destory/Call ResizeFilter()</li>
<li> All resize filters added to resampling, but filter handling is incomplete.</li>
<li> Check the API version and quantum depth before loading a coder module or image filter (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=9780).</li>
<li> Add exception to the image filter signature.</li>
<li> Get the execution path under Mac OS X.</li>
<li> TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS requires a uint32 pointer (magick/compress.c).</li>
<li> Fixed memory leak in CloneString() (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=9763).</li>

<dt>2007-09-12 6.3.5-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Major Addition, Area Resampling Functions, (scaled interpolation) for pixel lookup in Distortion functions. This improves the look in areas of minification enormously, especially in situations of infinite tiling and horizon views. All virtual pixel methods have been handled to minimise computation time involved with area resampling. To use the new function distortions need to be able to determine scaling vectors (distortion function derivatives) for correct working. All -distort methods, except Arc, uses scaled area resampling.</li>
<li> Improvements to perspective distort method, to include the correct differentiation between the 'ground' on which the image lies, and the 'sky', the color of which can be set using the -mattecolor setting (as the distortion invalid pixel color). Background color is retains for surrounding ground areas. The horizon is also correct anti-aliased and transparent colors are also allowed, allowing you to add backdrops of gradients and patterns.</li>
<li> Add -alpha {activate,deactivate,reset} option to activate, deactivate, or reset the alpha channel.</li>
<li> Render proper image labels for VID coder.</li>
<li> Resolved a conflict for the -list option. Use -list font to list ImageMagick fonts and -list type to list image types.</li>
<li> Catch any errors returned by pthread_mutex_init() (problem report from devman@gmx-t...).</li>
<li> TransformHSL() returns a proper hue component.</li>

<dt>2007-08-07 6.3.5-6 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Enabled use of +distort to auto resize destination image to 'bestfit' the distorted input image. This also enabled the use of virtual canvas offsets in source and destination images for most distortion methods.</li>
<li> Remove atexit in Magick++ code to avoid possible client crash (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=9270).</li>

<li> Update image color_profile and iptc_profile members in the JPEG coder (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=3&t=9063);</li>
<li> Added profile support to the GIF decoder/encoder. They are stored as GIF Application Extensions. Known extensions include existing ICCRGB1 (for ICC profiles) and new MGKIPTC0 and MGK8BIM0 (for IPTC and 8BIM profiles). Unknown extensions found in GIF files are read as gifappNNN.</li>
<dt>2007-04-28 6.3.4-0 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Invert Opacity change for user defined ordered dither threshold maps, so that 'off' map is transparent, and 'on' is opaque.</li>

<dt>2007-04-18 6.3.3-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Separated -layers Optimize from -layers OptimizeFrame to allow the former expansion into a general (multiple method) optimizer of GIF animations</li>
<li> merged -layers OptimizeTransparency into -layers Optimize method</li>
<dt>2007-04-12 6.3.3-8 Chris Madison <madisonblu@hotma...></dt>
<li> Fix fault whem comparing a colormapped image with a non-colormapped one.</li>
<li> Fix race condition when spawning delegate programs.</li>
<li> TIFF JPEG now respects the -quality compression setting.</li>
<li> The -fx option now properly groks the logical and operator.</li>
<li> DPX tilestamp property should be timestamp.</li>
<dt>2007-04-13 6.3.3-7 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Added GravityAdjustGeometry() to "geometry.c" to adjust geometry settings according to given gravity and canvas area it applies to. This is for code simplification throughout MagickCore.</li>
<dt>2007-04-09 6.3.3-6 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Fixed CoalesceImages() to reset virtual canvas info on second and later frames. Other animation handlers may also need to reset virtual canvas sizes to match the first frame, as well.</li>
<dt>2007-04-06 6.3.3-6 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Addition of a CompositeImages() "layer.c" function to compose two separate image lists together (with a virtual canvas offset) in three different ways, depending on the size of the lists.</li>
<li> A 'hack' for command line use (the two lists separates by the special "NULL" image, which is junked) has also been added. Specifically... "-layers Composite".</li>
<dt>2007-04-04 6.3.3-6 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Add -layers RemoveDups method to remove duplicate sequential images in coalesced animations.</li>
<li> Add -layers RemoveZero method to remove images with a zero time delay (with no action and a warning is all images have zero time delay)</li>
<li> Fixed DCM and XWD buffer overflow vulnerabilities (reference http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/display.html?id=496).</li>
<dt>2007-03-28 6.3.3-4 Anthony <anthony@griffith...></dt>
<li> Code duplication, simplification, and possible logic faults in "list.c".</li>
<li> Added new Composition method, 'ChangeMask' to return pixels that have changed or will cause a color change in overlays</li>
<li> Used 'ChangeMask' to implement the "-layers" method "OptimizeTransparency" to improve the compressibility of frame optimized GIF animations. See IM Examples... ../Usage/anim_opt/#opt_trans</li>
<li> Fixed two memory leaks in wand/magick-image.c and magick/stream.c and made some minor changes to the GIF coder to make reading and pinging images faster (patch provided by mstemm@cloud...).</li>
<li> Improve configure script to better support Ghostscript under Mac OSX ( reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?t=8557).</li>
<li> Force a virtual pixel method of Tile for GetFillColor() and GetStrokeColor().</li>
<li> Add -reverse option to reverse the image list.</li>
<li> Escape indirect labels and comments (e.g. -label @file).</li>
<li> Added -format %C to return the image compression type.</li>
<li> Do not report channel statistics if -ping -format is specified with the identify program.</li>
<li> Add ResetImagePage() to reset the image page canvas and position.</li>
<li> Upgrade to LCMS 1.16</li>
<li> Configure Ghostscript for library or framework (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?f=2&t=8557).</li>
<li> Add -taint option to convert/mogrify to mark image as ineligible for</li>
<li> Fixed various data-driven faults (reference http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412945). The corrupt JP2 image faults but its failing in the JP2 jas_image_decode() method, not MagickCore. The corrupt XWD image faults but its failing in the X11 XGetPixel() method, not MagickCore.</li>
<li> Use -define quantum:polarity=min-is-black or -define quantum:polarity=min-is-white to toggle the photometric interpretation for a bilevel TIFF image.</li>
<li> Fix the -auto-orient to work with an image sequence (reference https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewtopic.html?t=8100).</li>
<li> Add -polaroid option to simulate a Polaroid picture.</li>
<li> Eliminate double-free bug in GradientImage().</li>
<li> Set AppendImage() matte channel only when image has matte attribute set.</li>
<li> The -crop with negative offsets do not modify the virtual canvas.</li>
<li> Caption: Given both the width and height ("-size") of the area to fill, adjust the fonts "-pointsize" until the text just filles the whole space without overflowing.</li>
<li> Generate proper Windows icon image files (patch provided by Robert M. Jansen).</li></dl></div></div>
