file delegates.mgk (suggested by and initial design thanks to
Bob Friesenhahn).
- Added support for MPEG2 and removed the requirement for the MPEG
delegate. Instead a different decoder/encoder is required. See README.txt
for details.

ImageMagick 4.0.[0-9], September 1, 1998
- The execution speed of ImageMagick has been improved anywhere from
10-30 percent for images of high spatial frequency. On average expect about a
15% improvement over version 4.0.7.
- Converting a pure white image no longer produces a black bitmap.
- Scanned images were needlessly being runlength encoded and decoded
(scanned images typically do not benefit from runlength encoding).
(thanks for the alert from Bill Radcliffe).
- Added support for sRGB and image chromaticity.
- Most image processing loops were sped-up by using a local variable
rather than image->runlength.
- Image resizing no longer introduces a moire pattern (thanks
for the alert from Bill Radcliffe).
- Added -filter to the command line utilities. Also added
more filters.
- Consolidated the memory allocation routines in magick/memory.c.
This also fixed a rare PerlMagick memory leak that only occurred when
PerlMagick was running out of memory and realloc(3) was called.
- Use -page 612x792> to center an image on a Postscript page.
This used to be the default behavior.
- Added additional checks for corrupt BMP images.
- PerlMagick detects duplicate images
in an array (stack). Previously it would go into an infinite loop.
- Montage and
PerlMagick no longer lop image labels when
using TrueType fonts.
- -density previously caused PCL images to fault when writing.
- Added -append to convert.
It is a fast memory efficient way to append images to each other
(e.g. convert -append header.tif body.tif trailer.tif news.tif).
- Some 3072x2048 PhotoCD images no longer go into an infinite loop (thanks
to Bill Radcliffe).
- Win95/WinNT users, use convert image win: to display on
your computer screen.
- You can now view TrueType fonts directly (if you have the TTF
delegate): display TimesRoman.ttf.
- Fixed a number of fine-grain problems with ImageMagick and PerlMagick
related to text annotation (e.g. some FreeType text was lopped in the
last character of a string).
- Added support for the Adobe Photoshop (PSD) image format.
- Methods Replace and Reset of the draw method and
command line option stopped working in release 4.0.5. This is now fixed.

and mogrify. Use it in concert
with the -draw option to align text.
- ImageMagick can now read Macintosh PICT images under NT.
- Converting large images (> 2000x2000) to PDF with Flate compression
(the default if you include the ZLIB delegate) no longer produces corrupt
images.
- The matte attribute can now be set in PerlMagick. Previously
you could only get this attribute.
- Improved GNU configure scripts (thanks to
bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us).
- The draw command can now accept floating point values. Drawing is
upwards of 15 times faster now (only bounding area is check for
intersection).
- Thanks to
Ashley.Dreier@mlb.dmt.csiro.au for the -sample
bug report.

installation instructions for details.
- Added a support for LABEL image format (e.g. label:This is a
label).
- Made all delays a uniform 1/100th of a second. Previously
times were different for each program, seconds for
display, milliseconds for
animate, and 1/100th of a second for
convert. This caused problems
for PerlMagick.
- Previous version of ImageMagick left shared memory segments around
after exiting. This problem is fixed and a signal handler has been added
to ensure the segments are deleted even if the program is interrupted.
- Thanks to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson for patches to generate proper CRC chunks for
the MNG image format.
- Thanks to
tenthumbs@CYBERNEX.NET for the patches to Makefile.in to

- Bi-level PS2 and PDF images are now 2-D Huffman encoded resulting in
about a 50% space savings (if HasTIFF is defined).
- Changed routine CompressImage to CondenseImage to
avoid name conflicts on the Macintosh PPC environment.
- Thanks to Tim Rhodes for
discovering the new optimization introduced in version 3.8.8 for importing
windows from an X server had a bug in it. Windows with differing colormaps
or visuals from the default are now saved quickly and properly. Previously
importing a window from the server screen could take up to 3 minutes.
- Plugged a couple of memory leaks associated with the new routine,
PingImage.
- Thanks to
spd@daphne.cps.unizar.es for contributing the Macintosh PICT
reader.

i.e. don't ring any bells.
- Duplicate entries in an image colormap are now automatically
eliminated.
- Display and
animate now support embedded
characters for the -title option (e.g. -title "%f[%s]",
for filename and scene).

crashes certain 24 bit Solaris servers. The problem was related to
shared memory pixmaps.
- Montage now properly
reduce the number of colors in the output image when you specify
-colors.
- Renamed routine Error to MagickError and
Warning to MagickWarning to prevent conflicts with
existing routines within Perl (required for static compilation of
PerlMagick).

Image Magic 3.8.0, January 15, 1997
- Added image thresholding to
convert,
mogrify, and
display.
- Animate displays a file
dialog when you type the command without any options. This allows you
to animate an image sequence with the file browswer.
- If -dHasSharedMemory was defined, the data element of
an XImage structure was being assigned after it was freed (patch
provided by Philippe Troin).
- Added a convenience option to
montage, -mode. The
modes are Frame, Unframe, or Concatenate. See the
manual for details.
- The color database queries are now cached. This fixed a bug when
reading XPM images and also speeds up the query response.
- The system error (errno) is now reported when an error occurs.
- Use +map with convert
to create a single global colormap across all images. Previously this
was accomplished with mogrify -colors.
Image Magic 3.7.9, January 1, 1997

thrashing (patch provided Dick Wesseling).
- Added a new format GRADATION to gradually pass from one shade to
another (e.g. convert gradation:red-blue shaded.miff).
- You can replace the Image Magic logo with your own within
display with the LOGO image
format. Just create the logo as magick/logo.h and recompile
Image Magic
magick/decode.c.
- Montage only wrote the
first image of many for formats that do not support multi-frames (e.g.
JPEG) (reported by Greg Hosler ).

Image Magic 3.4
Thanks to pmoreau@ada.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr for helping with the VMS
port and for supplying the JPEG, MPEG, TIFF and XPM VMS libraries.
- Sometimes -geometry 200% produced a segmentation fault (thanks to
davidh@Harston.CV.COM).
- Added -blend option to combine(1) (suggested by rjohnson@shell.com).
- The -colorspace gray option no longer overrides the -colors option (thanks
to rjohnson@shell.com).
- You can now use wildcards under VMS (suggested by
Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.Com).
- To make UNIX and VMS compatible you must now proceed wildcards with
the prefix vid: to produce a Visual Image directory (e.g. vid:*.jpg).
- The File Browser now expands '~' to the home directory (suggested by
pederl@norway.hp.com).
- If the target window of import(1) has the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property set
or if XListInstalledColormaps returns a value greater than one, the image
is obtained by descending the window hierarchy and reading each subwindow
and its colormap. This is time consuming and is not always necessary. Now
import +descend will circumvent this behavior (suggested by
charles@mvel.demon.co.uk).

-window option (suggested by miwaldor@si.bosch.de).
- Updated VMS HLP files (provided by pmoreau@ada.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr).

pmoreau@cena.dgac.fr).
- Identify(1) requires a maximum of two arguments, not one (thanks to
pbelding@qualcomm.com).
- TIFF can now be read on Dec Alpha's (thanks to
Klaus.Moeller@arbi.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de).
- mogrify -map icon_colors.ppm -colors 15 no longer fails (thanks to
cowan@chdasic.sps.mot.com).

li@infrared.njit.edu).
- Grayscale PPM images are no longer demoted to PGM (suggested by
kopp@bismarck.gatech.edu);
- Added version information to -help option (suggested by
Bertrand.Decouty@irisa.fr).
