morph gtk-doc done - oops, missing braces in debug.h and util.h, thanks Laurence - update C++/Python binding - oop, bool constants are always (int) now, so (^-1) works for unsigned types,   thanks Nicolas Robidoux - much lower memuse for im_cache() in complex pipelines - im_scale_dmask() normalises to 20, not 100 ... we hit the fast   conv path more often 12/5/10 started 7.22.2 - the conditional image of ifthenelse can be any format, a (!=0) is added if   necessary - oops vipsthumbnail sharpening was turning off for integer shrinks,   thanks Nicolas Robidoux - im_vips2jpeg() could fail for very small images (thanks Tim) - threadpool wasn't stopping on allocate errors (thanks Tim) -

im_vips2tiff() uses vips_sink() instead of threadgroup - strip out threadgroup - add --enable-debug=xxx flag - im_iterate() -> vips_sink() - better number-of-bands detection for im_magick2vips() - added im_get_argv0() - added PFM read / write 16/1/10 started 7.21.2 - "invalidate" is careful to keep images alive, so invalidate callbacks can do   im_close() - flood_blob could loop if start point == ink - added im_meta_remove() -

im_csv2vips(): allow lines that end with EOF rather than \n - im_vips2tiff has a bigtiff option - oops, im_lineset() needs to ask for WIO of mask and ink - move cache invalidation to REGION, fixes a race - don't im_invalidate() after paint, it can cause horrible performance   problems ... for example, im_plotmask() used as the action operator for   im_fastlineuser() is terrible - instead, users of the inplace operations need to call im_invalidate() at the   end of a set of paint actions to trigger an update - parent/child renamed as upstream/downstream in DAG - set VIPS_ICC_DIR in configure - ICC profiles are looked for in VIPS_ICC_DIR as a fallback - im_render() mask image generation no longer triggers image calc -

removed mmap_limit, we now always use windows ... reduces VM use hugely,   because mmap windows are freed when their regions are freed, while images   are only unmapped when they are closed - have a min bytes for mmap windows as well, so we don't make too many tiny   windows - im_disp2Lab() was broken - deprecated.h is now defined in terms of current functionality, rather than   repeating stuff - im_flood() and friends rewritten, typically 4x faster - removed --with-cimg option, added --disable-cxx -

version bump - tiny conv speedup - catch lcms error messages - fix includes for gtk+-3.0 - report virtual memory too in im__print_all() - cosmetic changes to nohalo - im_magick2vips() needs to invert alpha - now (more or less) passes -Wextra - added "fail" option to im_jpeg2vips: fail with an error on any warning   (thank you Ole) - started gtk-doc changes - renamed im_meta_get_type() and im_header_get_type() as   im_meta_get_typeof() and im_header_get_typeof() to prevent confusion with   GObject type definers (was breaking gtkdoc object scan) - revised more names, limited documented API - im_buildlut() could segv for non-zero based tables (thanks Jack) - VIPS_BUF_STATIC() does not take length arg - check for SetImageOption() so we work with GraphicsMagick too - "header" sets a non-zero exit code if anything failed - add and use im_check_uncoded() and friends - matlab load handles column-major and plane-separated images (thanks Mikhail) - JPEG save allows "none" for profile, meaning don't attach a profile - saner, simpler, faster typecasting for im_add(), im_subtract(),   im_multiply(), im_divide(), im_remainder() - im_remainder() has a float result for float types - im_measure() allows sel == NULL, meaning all patches - added "deprecated" package - faster, simpler, better im_max(), im_min, im_avg(), im_deviate() - im_max() returns true modulus, not square of modulus, for complex images - im_avg() works for complex, returning average modulus - im_system() fix (thanks Roland) - im_system() rewrite - im_maxpos()/im_minpos() are partial and work for complex - im_max()/im_min() are now convenience functions - im_maxpos_avg() handles complex and multi-band images - added im_point(), rewrite im_point_bilinear() in terms of this - close callbacks now happen *after* images have closed resources (such as   open files) ... this lets them delete temps and stuff. Expect breakage :( - added vips_interpolate_get_window_offset() - boolean revised: smaller, more general, faster - im_remainderconst_vec() renamed to im_remainder_vec() for consistency - added im_shift*_vec() - renamed im_eor_vec() as im_eorimage_vec() for consistency, also and, or - renamed im_eorconst() as im_eorimage_const() for consistency, also and, or - relational revised: smaller, more general, faster - im_blend()/im_ifthenelse() allows many-band conditional, 1-band then/else - im_blend()/im_ifthenelse() allows band and format to differ between then   and else parts - better im_check() functions - added im_flood_other() as start of simple segmentation operator - added im_label_regions() - im_printlines(), im_debugim() deprecated (use im_vips2csv() instead) - meta, header, callback, error, region, check, generate, memory gtkdocs - removed printlines tool, vips2csv is much better - removed other useless tools as well: debugim, binfile - fix up addr calcs on 64-bit machines with >2gb images and inplace ops   (thanks Christoph) - im_generate() checks that im_demand_hint() has been called for this image - im_jpeg2vips.c, set scale_num on shrink (thanks Guido) - heh argh reading history always stopped after the first line (thanks Haida) - added im_histindexed - new im_iterate() calls start and stop functions from workers so resources   they make are owned by the worker thread ... this makes it possible to have   start functions which create mutiple regions and therefore allows   im_iterate() to scan more than one image at once - threadgroup no longer has any default action, you must attach a work   function - added im_copy_file() - added im_insertset() - im_insertplace() allows small to be outside big - added im__colour_difference(), colour ops now work on any image format - added im_col_display_get_table(), so display tables are now shared by name - added im__colour_unary() - drop "set" postfix from names, so "insert" can now take a vector of positions - deprecate all the "_raw" variants, not really necessary now - removed "contrib", not very useful anymore - added im_header_as_string() - im_malloc()/im_free() now call g_try_malloc()/g_free() ... removes confusion   over whether to use im_free() or g_free() for things like im_header_string() -
