101 the list of coders which match a specification.
102
103 * User now may tell Blob updateNoCopy() what memory system (C or C++)
104 the memory was allocated from. Used to assume the C++ allocator.
105 This resolves a bug on some platforms (e.g. Windows).
106
107 * Added Image 'opacity' method (and STL opacityImage()) to set, or
108 attenuate, image opacity.
109
110 * Added Image 'type' method (and STL typeImage()) to set image
111 representation type.

122 is past the end of the current colormap.
123
124 * Added clipMask method to add a clip mask to the current
125 image. Prevents modification to image pixels wherever the
126 associated clip mask image is tranparent.

243 * Released with ImageMagick 5.1.0
244 * Added additional constructors, read, and write methods for BLOBs
245 to make BLOBs easier to use.
246 * Added the medianFilter() method to Image.
247 * Renamed transformColorSpace() to colorSpace() and added a
248 colorSpace() accessor method.
249 * Renamed psPageSize() to page(), which now properly returns the
250 actual attribute from the image, rather than the image options.
251 This is important in order to manipulate GIF animations.
252 * Bug fixes.
253
254(0.9)
255 * Ported to ImageMagick 5.0.
256 * BLOB sizes are now specified using size_t type.
257 * Rotate() no longer accepts sharpen or crop options.
258 * Shear() No longer accepts a crop option.
259 * FontPointsize() now takes a double.

261 since ImageMagick 5.0 no longer uses run-length encoding.
262 * The quantizeError method has been removed since it never worked.
263 * The cacheThreshold method is added to set the threshold of
264 ImageMagick's image cache.
265
266(0.8.9)
267 * Released with ImageMagick 4.2.9
268 * Blob reference counting was totally broken, leading to a memory
269 leak if it was used. Fixed by starting reference count from one
270 rather than zero.
271
272(0.8.8)
273 * Fixed a Image constructor bug when constructing from a Blob
274
275(0.8.7)
276 * Bugfix: condensed() was returning wrong state.
277
278(0.8.6)
279 * Color is now based on ImageMagick's RunlengthPacket structure (via a
280 pointer) so that it may eventually be used to represent an image
281 pixel. This is currently a work in progress.
282
283(0.8.5)
284 * Headers are now installed under prefix/include/Magick++ on Unix
285 systems with the exception that Magick++.h is installed under
286 prefix/include as it was before. Programs which include Magick++.h
287 (the documented approach) should not be impacted.
288 * Image constructors to construct an image from a BLOB.
289 * Image read and write methods to decode and encode images stored in a
290 BLOB. This allows reading/writing image "files" from/to memory rather
291 than a traditional file.
292
293(0.8.4)
294 * New mapImages algorithm maps a sequence of images to the colormap of
295 a provided image.
296 * New quantizeImages algorithm computes and applies a common colormap
297 to a sequence of images.
298
299(0.8.3)
300 * Ported to ImageMagick 4.2.6.

307 * Added Blob class to support supplying formatted binary data to methods.
308 * Added support for setting ICC and IPTC profiles from a binary BLOB.
309 * Added support for transformations of image data to/from alternate
310 colorspace (e.g. CYMK).
311 * Added support for 'pinging' an image (get image dimensions/size quickly).
312 * Added 'uncondense' method to de-compress in-memory image data.
313 * Added support for annotation using rotated text.
314
315(0.8.1)
316 * Added support for setting alpha in Magick::Color
317 * Set/get color alpha in Magick::Image::pixelColor() for DirectClass images.
318

321 * Improved Microsoft Visual C++ build environment.
322
323(0.7.4)
324 * Added animateImages() and displayImages() to MagickSTL.h.
325 * Added function objects to support setting image attributes.
326
327(0.7.3)
328 * Image::penTexture() now takes Image reference rather than
329 Image pointer. Set Image to invalid using isValid(false)
330 to unset texture.
331 * Attribute methods that take Color, Geometry, Image, or string
332 arguments may now unset the attribute by setting the state of
333 the object to invalid using isValid(false), or the empty string
334 (in the case of string). This allows full control over ImageMagick
335 attributes which are stored as C strings which may be set to NULL.
336 * Updated for ImageMagick 4.2.1
337
338(0.7.2)
339 * Added STL function object support for all Image manipulation
340 methods to support operating on all or part of the images
341 stored in an STL container.

350 Most exception class names have changed.
351
352(0.7)
353 * Updated for ImageMagick 4.2.0
354 * Added support for flood-filling and drawing with texture.
355 * Montage supported.

372 There is no longer a MagickOptions parameter to some methods.
373
374(0.1)
375 * All ImageMagick operations which operate on individual images are
376 supported.
377 * Image objects have value semantics, avoid unnecessary image
378 copies through the use of reference counting, and may be compared
379 via standard operators.

381 separate classes.
382 * Errors are reported synchronously via C++ exceptions.
383
