  * Reclassified X server open error from fatal to non-fatal.
  * New SetImageAlphaChannel() method to activate, deactivate, reset, or
	  set the image alpha channel.
  * Patch for Scanalytics IPLab image format for non 8-bit images
    (contributed by Sean Burke).

2007-11-04  6.3.6-8 Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Remove ctrl-M characters on in various source files.
  * Fix signature for Magick++ averageImages() regression tests for HDRI.
  * Only invoke PerlMagick x11 regression test if DISPLAY variable is set.

2007-11-03  6.3.6-7 Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * MAGICK_ERX_SRCS should be MAGICK_EXR_SRCS in coders/Makefile.am.

2007-11-02  6.3.6-6 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Upgrade to FPX version libfpx-1.2.0.14 (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10041).
  * Modules are searched first in the directories specified by the environment
  	variables, and then -- if the desired module is not found -- in the
  	compiled-in path.  (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10039).

2007-11-01  6.3.6-5 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Update FPX regression test reference images.
  * Fixed Magick++ compile error for Sun Studio 10 compiler.

2007-10-25  6.3.6-4 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * The -equalize option now respects the -channel option.

2007-10-23  6.3.6-4 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Additional Filters:  Welsh, Parzen, Lagrangian
  * Addition of Cubic filter B,C controls
  * 'verbose' filter plotting output using  -define "filter:verbose"

2007-10-20  6.3.6-3 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Further expandsion 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 dimentional cylindrical filter, rather than
    two pass 1 dimentional orthogonal filters.

2007-10-14  6.3.6-3 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Obsolete -support (set filter blur factor)
  * Expandsion to add -set/define filter options

2007-10-12  6.3.6-2 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * 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
    panarama overviews and better geographical coordinate correction.
  * Cosolidated the simular methods FlattenImage() and MosaicImage()
    into a new layers function MergeImageLayers() method, adding 'flatten'
    and 'mosaic' layer methods.
  * Addition of another simular 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 panarama overlays.
  * Bug fix in handling transparency for EWA resampling.
  * Access to Resize Filter Functions from resize.c (for resample.c)
    with posible future filter sources... Acquire/Destory/Call ResizeFilter()
  * All resize filters added to resampling, but filter handling is incomplete.

2007-10-05  6.3.6-2 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * The box filter no longer produces a black grid when resizing an image
    under Mac OS X.
  * Respect cropbox for PDF with a subimage specification (e.g.
        image.pdf[1-3]).
  * Detect proper PDF bounding box when offsets are negative.

2007-10-02  6.3.6-1 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Speed up the Fx interpreter.
  * Use ULL not ui64 for MinGW 64-bit constants.
  * Call SyncCacheView() instead of SyncImagePixels() in WaveImage().
  * Close all references to a pixel cache on disk before removing the temporary
          file as required under Windows.

2007-09-29  6.3.6-0 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Added Scaling 'derivitives' to -distort Arc, so image arcing is now
    sharp and clear as you approach the center of the distort.
  * Added  " -set option:distort:viewport 'geometry' " special option
    that can be used to override the output image size and offset.
  * Fixed experimental use of -filter and -support in Resampling (more later).
  * Changed order for coordinate arguments in -distort (for later leastsq
    multiple coordinate distortion function fitting)

2007-09-22  6.3.6-0 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Check the API version and quantum depth before loading a coder module or
          image filter (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9780).
  * Add exception to the image filter signature.
  * Get the execution path under Mac OS X.
  * TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS requires a uint32 pointer (magick/compress.c).
  * Fixed memory leak in CloneString() (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9763).
  * Set S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP mode when writing a file in
    CopyDelegateFile().

2007-09-18  6.3.5-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Bug fix for +distort in Perspective, also effected PerspectiveProjection

2007-09-17  6.3.5-10 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Replace all InterpolatePixelColor() calls to use the ResamplePixelColor()
    method instead.
  * Map the display program pan icon window for each oversized image.
  * The ufraw delegate does not like quotes around the output filename.
  * Adjust the sensitivity of a few PerlMagick tests to pass the validation on
    a 64-bit FreeBSD system.
  * The -level option now works properly for colormapped images.
  * Allow Extrapolated blending of images using -blend
       http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/extendedopacity.html

2007-09-12  6.3.5-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Major Addition,  Area Resampling Functions, (scaled interpolation)
    for pixel lookup in Distortion functions.  This improves the look in
    areas of minification enormousally, 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 derivitives) for correct working.  All
    -distort methods, except Arc, uses scaled area resampling.
  * Improvements to perspective distort method, to include the correct
    differentation 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.

  * Fixed small memory leak in the RegisterTTFImage() module (patch provided
    by jon@websuper...).
  * Extend -delay to accept ticks-per-second (e.g. -delay 10x100 is 10 one
    hundredths of a second).  The default is hundredths of a second.
  * Clone the virtual pixel method when cloning the image cache (thanks to
    Anthony for discovering this bug).
  * 'montage rose: -geometry 0 rose.gif' no longer seg faults (bug report by
    Anthony).
  * Compute correct image statistics for grayscale images.
  * Given -crop WxH+X+Y! the image page width and height is set to WxH and
    the image offset has the crop offset subtracted, so the image is relative
    to the new crop/page/canvas area.

2005-09-03  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Eliminate additional pedantic compiler warnings.
  * Bump SONAME version due to binary compatibility break.

    %O image offset on canvas/pag.
  * A centered crop with a precentage noew positions the image correctly on
    the page.
  * New Transparent virtual pixel methods.

    example.
  * Fixed display to go to the proceeding image when its the last image in
    the sequence and <backspace> is pressed.
  * Fixed ConstituteImage() to properly return the opacity when a map of O
    is used rather than A (bug report by magickbugs@picta...).

2005-08-06  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * resizing a light colored image on a transparent background will now NOT
    produce a incorrect black halo.
  * The experimental  -identify   option has been replaced with info:. This
    special output format will do the same task as the 'identify' command,
    but will allow you to save the result into a seperate file or to
    standard output.  This output format will understand the use of the
    -format setting within the convert command.
  * -label and -draw text will no longer deal with the special escapes chars.
    That is  percent '%' image info formats will nolonger be expanded, or
    '\n' newlines (for multiple line draws) handled.
  * A new -extent  operator.  This is a ultra-fast and simple image size
    changer.  The image data is preserved in the topleft corner of the
    resulting image, but no effort is made to set any form of background
    color, or preserve image data that falls outside the new image size.
    Note -crop is still the prefered operator, but this is appropriate for
    handling very very large, or huge numbers of images.

2005-02-24  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewri...>
  * The Tru64 UNIX 4.0D/5.1 C++ compiler doesn't support ios::binary.
    There is an #ifdef for this, MISSING_STD_IOS_BINARY, but nothing sets
    it in configure.ac. So, I whipped up something to test it. I've tested
    this with the Sun, HP, IBM, SGI, and GNU C++ compilers.

2005-02-21  Peter Seiderer  <ps.report@gmx.n..>
  * Bitmaps in wmf files which are drawed via ipa_bmp_draw (in coders/wmf.c)
    are not scaled to the output size, but drawn with the original size.

    yet).

2004-12-16  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Fix file leak in ImageToBlob() method (bug report by hpuck@tec-i...).

2004-12-11  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The -modulate option hue parameter represents a rotation from -180 degrees
    to +180 degrees expressed as an argument of 0 to 2.0 (1.0 for no change).

2004-12-09  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * GetConfigureList() previously would only returns options the first time it
    was called.

2004-12-06  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * CompareImages() now sets the black channel when comparing CMYK images.

2004-11-30  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The -channel option is operational again.

2004-11-15  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The black channel offset was incorrectly computed when compositing causing
    a seg-fault (bug report from Arfune).
  * Under extremely rare conditions the GIF coder had a memory leak.

    JPEG quantization algorithm.

2004-10-28  Jean-Louis Morel <jl_morel@bribe..>

  * Win98 bug reported by Jouke Visser: the module crashes with Win98.
    I found the bug in the function lt_dlclose: on Win98, FreeLibrary always
    returns 0 (failure) but GetLastError returns 0 too (success)!
    There is nothing about that in the Microsoft documentation :-)
  2 With this small patch, one can compile the module for Perl5.6 without an
    error message

2004-10-26  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>

  * Fix EXIF code to prevent an overflow of the ifdstack array by one entry.

2004-10-23  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * The -fx power operator changed to ^ and xor is : because it's not used very
    often.  The bitwise operators &, |, and ^ have their operands multiplied by
    MaxRGB and the result divided by MaxRGB.  The <, >, and = operators return
    1 if true, 0 if false (e.g. for the threshold operation (u > .5),
    solarize (u * (u < .5 | u = .5) + (1 - u) * (u > .5)) (suggested by Gabe).

2004-10-22  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * A bezier with no current point must assume assume the first control point
    is coincident with the current point (e.g. M100 400l590 259s36 12 61 12).

    parameter.

2004-10-20  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Fixed FlattenImage() to ignore any PSD invisible layers.

2004-10-15  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>

    continue, perhaps in a diminished capacity.

2004-10-14  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Fixed bug in PSD coder that improperly removed an informational layer.
  * Perl threads requires local storage for ImageMagick exceptions.

2004-10-12  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * FlattenImage() should flatten relative to the page geometry if it exists.
  * PerlMagick's Profile() method no longer produces an assertion error when
    the profile parameter is set to undef.

2004-10-10  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Additional fixes for crop geometry relative to a page geometry, see

2004-10-03  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Add methods PaintOpaqueImage() and PaintTransparentImage() and deprecated
    OpaqueImage() and TransparentImage().  These methods are similar except
    they accept CMYK images in addition to RGB.

2004-10-02  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Fix round-off error when computing tile geometry for the montage program.

2004-10-02  Adam Megacz <adam@megac...>

  * Correct another problem with PSD and group layer-- if the group layer is
    not visible, all the layers of the group should be not visible.

2004-09-29  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Converting images to Postscript larger than a Postscript page no longer
    produces an incorrect bounding box.
  * Return degrees, not radians, for asin(), acos(), and atan() in FxImage()
    (bug report by cerv@iue.tu...).
  * The montage program faulted when an image tile was the same size as the
    specified geometry and in the CMYK colorspace.

2004-09-29  Jacob (=Jouk) Jansen <joukj@hrem...>
  * VMS patches to 6.0.1:

  * Fix to enable reading Photoshop images with a group of layers.

2004-09-15  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Respect the montage tile geometry (e.g. -tile 4x3 produces a page for
    12 tiles even if you only have 8).

2004-09-14  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Fixed a dependancy ordering problem in the top-level Makefile.

2004-09-14  Steve Turner  <norseman@first...>

    in the Slackware header files and it caused a compile error.

2004-09-13  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Some Postscript files were not translated properly when read.
  * DestroyImage() was previous void, now it returns (Image *) NULL to force
    the image to a known value and to detect logic errors in the program
    (any reference to image after it is destroyed will cause a fault).
    Other destroy methods will be changed in this manner as well.  Note,
    this change will not affect existing programs that rely on these methods.

2004-09-13  Bengt-Arne Fjellner  <Bengt-Arne.Fjellner@ltu.s...>

  * The -clip option no longer reports no clipping path when one is present
    (e.g. convert image.tif -negate -clip image.jpg).

2004-09-06  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Don't allow a corrupt GIF image to overflow pixel stack.
  * Increment image reference count when opening a cache view.

2004-08-31  Daniel Kobras  <kobras@debia...>
  * #define __attribute__ leaks outside the scope of a single header file,
    thereby killing any __attribute__ settings in the following code.

2004-08-30  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * The default -module option operates in the HSB colorspace.  You can operate
    in the HSL or HWB colorspace by using the -colorspace option (e.g.
    -colorspace HSL -modulate 100,130).

2004-08-30  Sebastien  <sc5@herme...>
  * Images are not created when we receive a SVG error so an attempt to set the
    image title or comment caused an assertion exception.

2004-08-28  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The DrawingWand DrawComposite() takes a wand rather than an image.

2004-08-28  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Add SetImageProgressMonitor() and SetImageInfoProgressMonitor() to the
    core API and MagickSetProgressMonitor() to the Wand API.  These methods
    permit you to pass client data which is not permitted with the deprecated
    SetMagickMonitor() method.

2004-08-26  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@glenn...>
  * avoid libpng-1.2.6 bug by setting PNG_HAVE_IDAT flag.

2004-08-26  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The display program properly respects -geometry (suggested by
    Dean S. Messing).

2004-08-24  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Do not issue module warning when writing an image in an unknown implicit
    image format (e.g. convert logo.png logo.thumb).

2004-08-23  Marcus Meissner  <<meissner@suse....>
  * Prevent buffer overruns when decoding runlength-encoded images in the BMP
    format.

2004-08-19  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Using a subimage specification on Postscript/PDF no long renderes a
    grayscale image (e.g. image.pdf[0]).
  * Comparing two CMYK images with the compare program now produces a proper
    difference image.
  * Improved a number of algorithms to better support CMYk images (e.g
    MedianFilterImage()).

2004-08-16  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Limit endianess to raw image formats and TIFF.
  * GetImageBoundingBox() now works properly for CMYK images.

2004-08-14  Anthony Thyssen  <anthony@griff...>
  * The -draw option now respects the image page geometry.
  * The A channel for the -fx option was inverted.

2004-08-14  Ken Cantwell
  * Relinquish the wand id linked-list when all wands are destroyed.

2004-08-12  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Only scale FITS pixels if they are float/double.

2004-08-06  Anthony Thyssen  <anthony@griff...>
  * Images with less than 256 unique colors, retain the exact colors.
    Previously some close colors were merged (e.g. 253 and 255 were averaged
    to 254).
  * Added -repage option, like -page but it acts as an image operator rather
    than a setting.

2004-08-04  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * PNG vulnerability fix.
  * Added YCbCr coder for raw Y, Cb, and Cr samples.
  * Fixed the -fx option operator precendence problem (+ and - should be the
    same precendence).

2004-07-23  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Rare memory corruption due to a JPEG comment (bug report by
    brundlefly76@hotma...).

2004-07-19  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The PerlMagick Evaluate() method no longer fails with an assertion error.
  * Restore -dSAFER for a more secure Ghostscript invocation.  The downside is
    we must copy the Postscript file to a temporary file otherwise we get a
    the ocassional invalidfileaccess fom Ghostscript.

2004-07-18  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Do not report image depth unless the -verbose or -format %z option is used
    with the identify program.

2004-07-11  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Center gravity now works when cropping by percent (e.g. -crop 75%).
  * Small memory leak on exception in the ImageToBlob() method.
  * %@ returns the image bounding box (e.g. identify -format %@ logo:).
  * Sync pixel cache when cloning an image-- just in case someone clones
    an image clone and accesses pixels with AcquireImagePixel() instead of
    GetImagePixels().

2004-07-09  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>
  * coders/bmp.c (ReadBMPImage): Removed if-test on reading red_mask,
    green_mask, and blue_mask. These are only *valid* under certain conditions,
    but they are always present in the file.

2004-07-05  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Support CMYK Postscript with the bmpsep8 device.
  * Add support for channels for the -unsharp options.
  * Add support for reading PCL with the Alladin pcl6 delegate.

2004-06-26  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Fixed SVG-path-implementation for elliptical arcs for angle < 45° and the
    sweep-flag is 1 (bug repored by Juergen).
  * Fixed PerlMagick memory leak for corrupt TIFF images.
  * MagickBooleanType changed from unsigned int to an enum for stronger type
    checking.  This should not affect the C API, however, for the C++ API you
    can no longer use `bool' instead of MagickTrue/MagickFalse for the methods
    that require a MagickBooleanType.

2004-06-23  Suryakant Patidar  <surya_iiit@lyco...>
  * Add copious usability features to the animate program.

2004-06-22  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Add support for compositing pixels in the CMYK colorspace.

2004-06-20  Anthony Thyssen  <anthony@griff...>
  * Shear no longer produces artifacts for a 0 y-shear (e.g. 60x0).

2004-06-19  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Convert image resolution relative to the value specified by the -units
    option.

2004-06-18  Jan Kratochvil  <lace@jankr...>
  * Perl interface for MagickToMime().

2004-06-13  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Gaussian kernel widths must be odd.
  * Report corrupt PNG image (bug report by Ryuichi Arafune).
  * Move X11 compatibility defines from xwindow.c to xwindow.h (suggested by
    Harald Koenig).

2004-06-12  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Call new AsychronousDestroyResources() method from signal handler.

2004-06-10  Anthony Thyssen  <anthony@griff...>
  * The +tile option is recognized once more.

2004-06-09  Alexandra Christini  <alexandra@image...>
  * ImageMagick 6.0.2 released.

2004-06-09  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * GetTypeByFamily() did not always return an italic font when requested
  * ColorFloodfill() sometimes prematurely exited with a large fuzz value.

2004-06-06  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * The file browser returned incorrect filenames when saving an image with the
    display program.

2004-05-31  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Added checkerboard background to display/animate X window to assist in
    visualizing transparent images.
  * The configure script now automatically enables OS features by selectively
    setting defines such as XOPEN_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE, etc.
  * Added anonymous memory-mapping to the pixel cache.  This makes it possible
    for memory to be returned to the system after the image is destroyed.

2004-05-31  Good Will  <pu@dr...>
  * Fixed a bug in EnhanceImage() that incorrected shifted edge pixels.

2004-05-26  Alexandra Christini  <alexandra@image...>
  * Fixed problem with relative filename wildcards (e.g. identify images/*.jpg).
  * MagickWand tracks the wand construction/destructions and initializes/
    destroys the ImageMagick core API environment as appropriate.

2004-05-23 Richardo Fabbri  <ricardofabbri@users...>
  * The active_list variable must be reset when a list is destroyed.

2004-05-18  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Introduce MagickBooleanType and MagickStatusType types of unsigned int.
    These types are 100% compatible with the existing API but removes
    ambiguity.  Previously we got complaints that users did not realize that a
    return value of unsigned int in most cases meant a binary value (True/
    False).  MagickStatusType is used for methods that return a bit mask.
  * Introduce MagickFalse and MagickTrue while we deprecate True/False.

2004-05-18  David Strobach  <strobach@exec...>
  * Don't open a loadable module if its already open.

2004-05-14  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Most Wand methods return an `unsigned int' where True indicates success and
    False indicates an error.  We enhanced these methods to return
    MagickBooleanType and MagickTrue/MagickFalse to make it less ambiguous.
    Note these changes are 100% compatible so existing Wand calls will continue
    to work as written.

2004-05-14  Eli Barzilay  <li@barzi...>
  * DrawSetStrokeDashArray() now respects the number_elements argument.

2004-05-12  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Since the WMF coder has Wand dependancies we only enable this coder when
    both WMF is available and module support enabled.

2004-05-08  Daniel Kobras  <kobras@debia...>
  * When an unknown property is encountered in the XCF coder, it enters a bogus
    loop that never terminates.

2004-05-06  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Various modules in coders/ require external libraries (bug report from
    kobras).
  * PerlMagick's QueryFontMetrics() incorrectly reports `unrecognized
    attribute'` for the `font' attribute (bug report from Arfune).

2004-05-05  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * convert fails to make multipage pdf from more than one postscript input
    files (bug report from Arfune).

2004-05-04  Alexandra Christini  <ally@image...>
  * ImageMagick 6.0.1 released.

2004-04-30  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Some XCF tiles were not being read properly (bug report from Arfune).

2004-04-26  David Strobach  <strobach@exec...>
  * Fixed memory leak in EPT coder.
  * Fixed memory leak in DestroyImage().
  * Close Windows registry when no longer needed.

2004-04-25  Oliver Hirschi  <ohirschi@pm-me...>
  * RelinquishUniqueFileResource() was not freeing file resource properly.

2004-04-24  David Strobach  <strobach@exec...>
  * Free the ImageInfo structure allocated by CloneImageInfo() in the
    WriteImages() method.

2004-04-22  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * EPT images cannot support blobs.

2004-04-20  David Strobach  <strobach@exec...>
  * Fixed temporary file resource limit leak in RelinquishUniqueFileResource().

2004-04-19  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * ConvolveImageChannel() incorrectly initialized non-selected channels to 0.
  * Prep shared memory segments to automatically destroy itself in the event
    of a process kill (see
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=207379).

2004-04-19  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * ConvolveImageChannel() incorrectly initialized non-selected channels to 0.

2004-04-15  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added Cisco IP phone image format (write only).

2004-04-15  Alexandra Christini  <ally@image...>
  * ImageMagick 6.0.0 released.

2004-04-10  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Updated the dot coder to use the new graphviz 1.12 API.
  * The next/previous fields of the configuration structures (magick_info,
    type_info, etc.) are deprecated, instead use the Get???InfoList()
    method (e.g. GetTypeInfoList()).

2004-04-07  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * ColorFloodfillImage() with FillToBorder option stopped working in 6.0.0.
    Fixed now (bug report by Tim Hunter)..

2004-04-05  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * GetColorInfoList() returns an array of ColorInfo structures.  Also added
    similar methods for each of the ImageMagick lists (e.g. magick, delegate,
    etc.).

2003-03-27  Nathan Brown  <nathan@sputn...>
  * Fixed a couple bugs in the AVI coder MJPG support.

2004-03-25  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added -family, -stretch, -style, and -weight to the convert program.  These
    options are used in conjunction with -font to specify font attributes.

2004-03-22  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Frame decorations are opaque if the matte color is opaque.

2004-03-15  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added CombineImages() to combine several grayscale images into a single
    image (e.g. convert -channel RGB image.R image.G image.B -combine logo.png).

2004-03-08  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added EvaluateImageChannel() method to the API.  Use it to apply an an
    arithmetic, relational, or logical operator to an image.  These operations
    can be used to lighten or darken an image, to increase or decrease contrast
    in an image, or to produce the "negative" of an image.

2004-03-07  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added a pixel iterator to the MagickWand API (suggested by Kyle Shorter).

2004-03-05   Teemu Ikonen <tpikonen@pcu.h...>
  * fixed the Matlab file reader read also files written in little-endian
    architectures.

2004-02-10  Alexandra Christini  <achristini@bigpl...>
  * Reset errno in PerlMagick constant() method.

2004-02-20  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added `O' for importing/exporting pixels.  `O' is the image opacity the
    eqiuvalent of MaxRGB-`A' (suggested by Dave Welton).

2004-02-04  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added the -posterize option to reduce the image to a limited number of color
    levels.

2004-02-15  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added the -splice option to splice the background color into an image
    (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-10  Alexandra Christini  <achristini@bigpl...>
  * Add -radial-blur option to the command line utilities.

2004-02-10  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Cache views can grow dynamically now (suggested by Andrew Reid).

2004-02-09  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added -clone, -remove, -splice, and -swap as options to the convert program
    to enhance image list manipulation (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-05  Anthony Thyssen  <anthony@griff...>
  * Expand the range of -dissolve to go from 0 to 200. That is values 0 to
    100 slowly dissolve the overlay onto the background.  But then  values
    100 to 200 slowly dissolve the background away until it is just the source
    image on top of a clear canvas the size of the original background.

2004-01-30  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added -separate to the convert program to separate a channel from
    an image and return a grayscale image (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).

2004-02-02 Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>
   * coders/bmp.c: fix potential use of uninitialized data.
   * coders/png.c: fix potential use of uninitialized data.

2004-01-30  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * New map option, P, for padding pixels when calling the ConstituteImage(),
    ExportImagePixels(), and ImportImagePixels() methods.

2004-01-24  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Support raw camera formats for the ImageMagick under Windows.

2004-01-24  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Privatized the BlobInfo structure and added news methods in blob.c to
    get/set members of the BlobInfo structure.
  * Fixed a memory leak in the JNG coder concerning blobs.

2004-01-23  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Bumped the beta release from 5.5.8 to 6.0.0.

2004-01-17  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added a resample element to the MSL coder.

2004-01-13  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added new -annotate option for the convert and mogrify program (e.g.
    -annotate +100+100 'Some text', -annotate 30x30+100+100 'Some text').
  * New TrimImage() C API method.

2004-01-07  Dan Rogahn <rogahn@...>
  * update and add new scripting elements to coders/msl.c

2004-01-06  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Fixed color shift problem when adjusting brightness.
  * Rename MagickCloneImage() to MagickGetImage().
  * Account for pixels-per-centimeter resolution when resampling.

2004-01-04  Jacob (=Jouk) Jansen <joukj@hrem...>
  * VMS patches to 5.5.8: coders/avi.c, remove all the <CR> at the
    end of the lines magick/config.h_vms, add HAVE_FT2BUILD_H directive
    magick/Make.com, and add compare.c

2004-01-03  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
  * In coders/sgi.c, opacity channel was lost when writing grayscale SGI
    images.

2003-12-31  Dan Rogahn <rogahn@...>
  * Default gamma to 1.0 in coders/msl.c.

2003-12-27  Volker Kuhlmann  <list0570@parad...>
  * Applied latest Suze 9.0 patches.

2003-12-22  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Fixed a number of Magick Wand nits as reported by Rolf in the MagickWand
    discussion group (http://studio.imagemagick.org/magick/viewforum.php?f=6).
  * Added explicit option grouping to the convert command, for example,
    convert \( 1.png 2.png -append \) \( 3.png 4.png -append \) +append
    image.jpg (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
  * Option -draw image respects gravity (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
  * Text annotate respects gravity (suggested by Anthony Thyssen).
  * Add latest TIFF library to ImageMagick Windows distribution.

2003-12-22  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
  * Added JPEG Quality, JPEG Colorspace, and JPEG Sampling factors to
    the "identify -verbose" report.  Added "-define jpeg:preserve-settings"
    flag.  If this is set, and the input and output formats are both JPEG,
    the input quality is used to compress the output file.  Also, if the
    colorspace was not changed, the same sampling factors are used for
    compression.

2003-12-16  Marek Scholaster" <Marek.Scholaster@sezna...>
  * ResizeImage() parameter "filter" is never used.

2003-12-16  Ron Stanonik <stanonik@cogsc...>
  * CloneMagickMemory() did not always copy overlapping memory correct
    (bug report by Ron Stanonik).

2003-12-16  Nathan Brown  <nathan@sputn...>
  * Modified the AVI coder to support MJPG compression.

2003-12-15  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Previous signal handlers were not being called properly.

2003-12-12  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added new image comparsion utility (e.g.
    compare -metric PSNR image reconstructed difference).

2003-12-11  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The display program no longer exits after the last image.  You must press Q
    or ESC or choose the Quit menu option to exit (suggested by Anthony
    Thyssen).
  * Off-by-one error for RLA image dimensions (patch provided by Jean-Francois
    Panisset).

2003-12-06  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * The gravity is now repected by the -draw option (bug report by
    Anthony Thyssen).

2003-12-03  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Reset image->extract_info.{x,y} when parsing the -size option.
  * New MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH environment variable allows the user to specify
    the search path for configuration (.xml) files

2003-12-03 Jouk <Joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.{nl}>
  * Patch to get ImageMagick working under OpenVMS.

2003-11-30  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Recognize `unlimited' for limit option: convert -limit memory unlimited.

2003-11-20  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Converted composite operators to inline methods in magick/composite.c.
  * Accept floating point image sizes (e.g. -geometry 1662.179324x2079.019558).
  * Added QueryMagickColor() to define CMYK colors.  First use is with
    the XC image format (e.g. -size 100x100 xc:'cmyk(100,100,100,50)');

2003-11-18  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Get EXIF data with $im->Get('%[EXIF:*]') in PerlMagick.
  * Added the -orient option to set the image orientation.
  * Postscript/PDF once again respects the image gravity attribute.

2003-11-16  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Noise is scaled to the value of QuantumDepth.  Previously noise was less
    intense for Q16 and Q32.

2003-11-06  Armani <a.krueger@xebec.{de}>
  * Memory leak in DrawComposite(), base64 is never freed.

2003-11-03  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added EPT2 and EPT3 image types which embeds Postscript level II and
    Postscript level III repectively.
  * Text compression is limited to 65535 bytes for the PNG coder (libpng
    restriction).
  * To write an image clip mask, use the CLIP: coder.
  * Added GetImageExtrema() and GetImageChannelExtrema() to return the extrema
    for an image or image channel.
  * Added GetImageMean() and GetImageChannelMeand() to return the mean and
    standard deviation for an image or image channel.

2003-11-01  Lars Ruben Skyum  <lars.skyum@stibo.com>
  * coders/jpeg.c: changed to not write gray CMYK images as grayscales. That
    would not be a valid optimization.
  * magick/color.c (IsGrayImage, IsMonochromeImage): Changed to never return
    true for CMYK images. Separated images get wrong colors when optimized to
    grayscales based on what these two functions return. Gray and CMYK are two
    different color spaces.
  * magick/nt_feature.c (NTIsMagickConflict): changed to accept colon as part
    of the magick string, consistent with the way the function is used.
  * magick/utility.c, magick/utility.h (ExpandFilenames, GetPathComponent):
    Fixed filename glob expansion. Added handling of filename prefix-magick and
    sub-image specification to GetPathComponent. Sub-image specification takes
    precedence over any filename patterns.

2003-11-01 Kenneth J. Davis <jeremyd@computer.{org}>
  * Fixed assertion error in GetConfigureOptions().

2003-10-29 Tony Butt <magick-bugs>
  * Fixed off-by-one array error in magick/xwindows.c.

2003-10-24 Manuel Jouglet <manu.jouglet@wanadoo.{fr}>
  * Fixed possible infiinite loop in Windows thread locking.

2003-10-21 Jouk <Joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.{nl}>
  * Patch to get ImageMagick working under OpenVMS.

2003-10-20  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added new GetPixels() method to PerlMagick.

2003-10-16  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Began support for CIELab PSD and TIFF images.
  * New -method-prefix configure option to add a unique prefix for all
    Magick API methods.

2003-10-12  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Thanks to Catalin Mihaila for contributing a ZX-Spectrum SCREEN$ reader.

2003-10-09  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
  * When JPEG sampling factors aren't fully supplied, any omitted ones
    should be 1x1.

2003-10-08  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added Get*List() to consistently return ImageMagick lists
    (e.g. GetMagickList() returns a list of support image formats).
  * Added -define option to support options associated with an image
    format (e.g. -define ps3:imagemask).

2003-10-08  Kelly Bergougnoux <three3@users.sourceforge.{net}>
  * Contributed new Cineon image format coder.

2003-10-08 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@stibo.com>
  * magick/attribute.c (TraceSVGClippingPath): optimized for speed and
    precision in clipping mask generation by using lines to connect Bezier
    curve control points where applicable.

2003-09-30  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
  * The PNG decoder would exit too early when reading file.png[0].

2003-10-02  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Wrote an option parser to uniformly deal with enumerated types.

2003-09-30  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
  * In the Q8 configuration, the bmp decoder was scaling 5-5-5-bit and
    5-6-5-bit colors slightly incorrectly when decoding 16-bit BMPs, as
    well as when decoding 8-8-8-8-bit colors in 32-bit BMPs.

2003-09-26  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added MagickWand API methods to get, append, and remove images from
    a wand.

2003-09-24  Wolfgang Textor  <Textor-Duisburg@t-online.de>
  * Applied changes to get the current ImageMagick 5.5.8 beta sources
    compile on a Mac with Codewarrior 8.3.

2003-09-21  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Image profiles are now conveniently handled with a hashmap structure.
    The color_profile and iptc_profile members of the Image structure
    are still maintained for backwards compatibility, however, we
    encourage you to use the new PutImageProfile(), GetImageProfile(),
    and DeleteImageProfile() methods.

2003-09-20  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Error messages are enhanced to give greater detail.  Use -debug
    Exception to trace the source location of an error.

2003-09-18 Lars Ruben Skyum <lars.skyum@stibo.com>
  * coders/ps3.c: Major update of the PS3 coder.  The coder now
    creates much smaller files for bilevel, gray, and colormapped
    images. Compression and image type is now separated so they may
    be combined independently. Any alpha channel is separated into a
    separate mask so it's possible to mask bilevel, gray, colormapped,
    rgb, and CKYK images. You may also mask a JPEG compressed PS file
    for instance. Clipping masks created from a photoshop clipping path
    with -clip option is converted to a corresponding postscript clipping
    path. New functions need comment headers.
  * magick/attribute.c: Added TracePSClippingPath for creating a
    postscript clipping path from a Photoshop clipping path.
  * magick/image.c: ClipPathImage now stores the name of the clipping
    path in the mask image filename so that it is remembered and may be
    used for creating a postscript clipping path for postscript output.

2003-09-16  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * There is a new ImageMagick license (see
    http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php).  It is a W3C-style rather
    than BSD-style license to address the frequently-asked-questions
    about what the license permits you to do.  It makes it more clear
    that you can do pretty much whatever you want with ImageMagick as long
    as you don't claim your wrote it.

2003-09-12  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Created a number of new header files to localize exported methods.

    and sweep flags.

2003-09-03  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Add module alias for OTF => TTF.

2003-09-01  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Reworked configuration file logic to load files from the current
    directory, at MAGICK_HOME, or at ~/.magick before the system versions
    of the configuration file.  This allows a user to define private fonts
    in ~/.magick/type.xml, for example.

2003-09-01  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Color was inverted when writing OTB monochrome images.
  * Add image histogram methods to C, C++, Perlmagick, and MagickWand API.

2003-08-31  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>

  * Fixed "Draw transparent color on background image without alpha" bug
    (bug report by Anthony Thyssen).
  * -fuzz now accept negative values.

2003-07-17  Lars Ruben Skyum  <lars.skyum@st...>
  * support for grayscale color profiles. You may now convert to/from CMYK
    or RGB from/to grayscale with a grayscale profile.  This is what Photoshop
    does when it creates grayscales from color images or makes true color
    images from grayscales.
  * any alpha channel is now maintained across colorspace conversions. It
    was previously lost in the conversions.
  * colormapped images may now be profiled with a color profile. They were
    previously passed through unchanged.
  * improved error handling. Any invalid colorspace / color profile
    combination is now catched in ImageMagick before LCMS gets a chance to catch
    the same error. LCMS will exit() the program the hard way if it catches
    such an error. ImageMagick clean-up routines will now be performed on exit.
  * support for the two remaining colorspaces, YCbCr and LUV, for which there
    is support in both ImageMagick and LCMS (or ICC 3.4, really). Profiles
    using other ICC 3.4 colorspaces not supported by ImageMagick will now
    properly throw an exception before LCMS exit's the application.

2003-07-16  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Added -clippath to convert (patch provided by Lars Ruben Skyum).
  * Fix transparent font problem (bug report by Anthony Thyssen).

2003-07-13  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>

  * Properly read CMYK TIFF images (bug report by Lars Ruben Skyum ).

2003-07-10  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Recall the MagickWand API is in flux.  The drawing wand methods
    that previously accepted or returned a PixelPacket now accepts/returns
    a PixelWand.  The MagickWand API should be stable by the end of
    this year.

2003-07-05  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Adopted William Radcliffe's semaphore spin lock for Win32 builds.

2003-07-04  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>

  * The JNG encoder wrote the wrong alpha_sample_depth for opaque images.

2003-05-28  Cristy  <yarrow@image...>
  * Large images (greater than 2048*2048) are cached to disk to reduce
    virtual memory thrashing.  Set MAGICK_AREA_LIMIT environment variable
    to change limit.

2003-05-23  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@image...>
