NOTOC
New development snapshot 7.11.18 has fancy new pixel cache, liboil support, and a start at revising the manual.
New development snapshot 7.11.16 fixes a few bugs.
Ooops, the stable windows binary was packed incorrectly, fixed now.
Of course I rushed 7.11.14 and there was a horrible race condition :-( New development snapshot 7.11.15 fixes it.
New development snapshot 7.11.14 adds a mmap window manager for a good speedup on large workspaces (or with many CPUs), almost-done python bindings, and small stuff.
New development snapshot adds an SMP benchmark operation, improved C++ API, adds GValue as an argument type, adds im_buildlut() and fixes a few bugs.
New development snapshot adds Python bindings for the C and C++ APIs (thanks Jean).
New development snapshot, 7.11.11. Highlights include:
- workspaces load and recalculate in the background, very cool
- half-there vips8 interface for testing of the new stuff
- merged Analyze and Vips8 menus
- more than 30 bugfixes
- many small features and polish
There's a windows binary that includes OpenEXR load.
New stable 7.10.21 now builds on Cygwin and fixes a minor clipping problem in im_affine().
New website is up! Very exciting.
Sourceforge CVS seems to be working again, so I've updated vips-7.11, nip2-7.11 and vips-8.0. These are now the current working copies.
I revised the instructions for CVS access and they seem to work now.
New development snapshot with some fun stuff:
- on-demand processing of OpenEXR images, and a new tile cache shared with TIFF read
- added CSV write, and transparent read/write of .csv files
- nip2 can now link to vips8 for testing
- "dir" builtin enumerates scopes (like Python)
- ... lots of bugfixes
New stable 7.10.20 fixes a couple of nasty bugs:
- nip's display control bar was broken for complex images (thanks Jean)
- Some non-C locales could not read floating point numbers (thanks Peter)
- A reference counting problem in the nip/vips interface could cause rare crashes
- A race condition in the vips threading object could cause errors on multi-cpu machines with linux 2.6.15 and greater
New bluesky snapshot. Redone argument system and refcounting, all leak-free now. Minor API changes.
New development snapshots are up. New features this month: OpenEXR read, RGB16 and GREY16 view hints, improved 64-bit support, improved Mac OS X support, image projections, histogram gravity, fixed-up 7.10 compatibility, various bugfixes.
Sourceforge CVS has been changed. Any developers need to remake their local repositories. We've updated the instructions on the development page.
New stable 7.10.19, with some useful bugfixes:
- A rounding problem could sometimes cause a 'comb' pattern to appear along image edges when you used a two-point mosaic (thanks Clare Richardson)
- ICC colour transformations could sometimes contain errors on machines with 2 or more CPUs
- Fixes to Custom Morphology and Grid Pattern (thanks Dave Weaver)
- The windows build now has a updated rubbersheet plugin (thanks Chi Yin Cheung)
- Five or six small fixes discovered by our new validation workspace, yea.
And other smaller stuff, see the ChangeLogs for details.
New development snapshot, 7.11.7. This month: image projections, automatic format conversion on save, Clock class lets you do video and animations in nip, better navigation in large workspaces, new statistics operations, new command-line interface for nip, other small stuff.
New development snapshot, 7.11.6. New this month: CSV import, jump-to-column, sliders now have captions, lots of small stuff.
New development snapshot, 7.11.5. More small features and bugfixes.
We've created a bluesky area with what we have so far for the vips-after-next.
New development snapshot, 7.11.4. A few small features and bugfixes. There's now a preference to turn off the tile fade effect if you want ... it seems to be a bit slow on windows.
New stable version, 7.10.18. This fixes a minor bug when loading indexed PNG images with an alpha channel. The windows build now includes the rubbersheet plugin.
