    2003-05-13  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Parameter 'elevation' misspeclled for PerlMagick Shape() method.
    	* A number of minor leak/unitialzed memory problems fixed.
      * Allocate free nodes from the heap in QuantizeImage().
      * Magick-config --version returned gibberish.
      * Adopted Bob Friesenhahn's patterns-- use as filename pattern:checkboard,
        pattern:bricks, etc.

      * Updated TransformRGBImage() and RGBTransformImage() to use the MaxMap,
        ScaleQuantumToMap() and ScaleMapToQuantum() macros.  Previously all
        computations were scaled unnecessarily to [0..65536].
      * A hack allowed TransformRGBImage(image,RGBColorspace) to convert
        the image to the RGB colorspace.  The hack was removed and we now
        correctly use TransformRGBImage(image,image->colorspace) to perform
        the conversion.
      * Fixed an an initialized filename problem in MogrifyImage().

    2002-12-26  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

        BackgroundDispose.
      * CMYK JPEG images produced 'Bogus input colorspace' on output.
      * The AdaptiveThresholdImage() offset parameter is now of
        type long.  Previously it was of type unsigned long.

    2002-12-04  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Postscript Level II with Zip/LZW/JPEG compression produced correct
        Postscript now.
      * Ghostscript 8.0 produces a bad status code under Windows.
      * Default the locale to C for now until Internationalization is complete.
      * Multi-frame TIFF were failing to write.

    2002-12-01  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * The blob methods were enhanced to use GZip or BZip API methods to
        compress/uncompress images (previously the external programs gunzip
        or bunzip2 were used).
      * The transparent channel of a TIFF image is written as extra samples
        with a type of unassociated alpha.
      * The display program Magnify window no longer utilizes a shape mask
        for image with opacity information.
      * PerlMagick file I/O fix for perl 5.8.0 and above.

        to users.

    2002-11-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * coders/wmf.c: Set white background of embedded bitmaps to transparent
        if the image background is a texture image, not-white, or non-opaque.
        This improves the output when the WMF is rendered on a non-default
        background.

        before using their values.

    2002-11-05  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Modified IMdisplay so that larger images may be loaded (primarily
        limited by Windows bitmap size limits).
      * Added some more file types (EPS, GIF, MIFF, SVG, & WMF) to IMdisplay's
        file open list.
      * The list management methods were given more meaningful names.

    2002-11-04  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Modified IMdisplay so that Magick++ Images are stored by value rather
        than via pointer.
      * IMdisplay now uses minify(), magnify(), and zoom() methods where
        appropriate.

    2002-11-04  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Quantizing a DirectClass image with less than 256 unique colors is
        no longer lossy.
      * Transparent TGA images had incorrect opacity values.

    2002-10-31  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added configure test for compiler __func__ support (HAS___func__).

        extra layer.

    2002-10-29  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * Added three output formats: PNG24 (24-bit RGB PNG, opaque only),
        PNG32 32-bit (RGBA PNG, semitransparency OK), and PNG8 (8-bit indexed
        PNG, binary transparency only).

    2002-10-27  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * coders/vid.c: Modified to be 10X faster for large images and to take
        advantage of JPEG size optimizations.

    2002-10-27  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * magick/xwindow.c: Optimize loading of TrueColor images with

        dramatically slowed down loading images and quiting the program.
      * xwindow.c: optimized image size reduction for the case where the
        target size is a small fraction of the original size. This makes
        creation of display's panner and thumbnail images tremendously faster,
        with no noticeable degradation of thumbnail quality.

    2002-10-21  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        (e.g. -border 10).
      * Added -lat to convert/mogrify (local adaptive thresholding).

    2002-10-15  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Set locale type LC_NUMERIC to "C".
      * Bug fix for PS2 encoder.

        to co-exist without interference on the same machine.

    2002-10-09  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Decided that DrawGet functions should return by value.

    2002-10-06  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * Added detailed logging to BMP, PNG, and JPEG codecs, including JPEG
        quality estimate.

    2002-10-01  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added draw.h "DrawGet" equivalents to most of the "DrawSet" functions.
      * Added an array size argument to DrawSetDashPattern and got rid of
        the zero-termination garbage.
      o Remove 'Set' from the names of draw.h functions which update the
        current affine transformation array (e.g. DrawSetRotate becomes
        DrawRotate).

    2002-09-29  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Updated to Automake 1.7.

    2002-09-29  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Under Windows, a DllMain function which automatically initializes
        ImageMagick (when ImageMagick is built using DLLs) may be added by
        defining ProvideDllMain in magick_config.h

    2002-09-28  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added resource consumption methods, see magick/resource.c.

    2002-09-27  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added -version option to commandline utilities.

    2002-09-21  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * The xcf decoder would sometimes create artifacts when reading RLE-encoded
        grayscale images, due to the green and blue samples not being defined.

    2002-09-13  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Update to Autoconf 2.54.

    2002-08-08  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added logging capabilities to the CORE API.  This facility is useful
        for debugging.  Added "events" parameter to the -debug commandline option.
      * AcquireImagePixels() did not always return the same pixel values
        for virtual pixels when the cache was stored on disk (very rare).
      * new -virtual-pixel command line option.
      * new PerlMagick virtual-pixel image attribute.

    2002-08-07  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

    2002-08-30  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * QuantizeImage() did not always produce proper bilevel images.

    2002-08-23  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Apply prefix/suffix transformations to ImageMagick program names
        which are substituted into delegates.mgk.  This fix was requested
        by Glenn Randers-Pehrson.

    2002-08-25  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Arcs are now rendered properly.
      * Use -authenticate to specify a password when viewing encrypted PDF's.
      * -page was previouly being ignored.
      * Configure files are returned as blobs now (suggested by William
        Radcliffe).

    2002-08-23  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added --disable-installed option to configure to support building
        an ImageMagick which is not installed via hard-coded paths. This
        is intended to be used for the ad-hoc binary distributions built by
        ImageMagick Studio.
      * The UseInstalledMagick define is to be used by builds formally
        installed under a prefix, or via the Windows registry.
      * Replaced GetMagickConfigurePath() with the three functions
        FindConfigurationFile(), FindFontFile(), and FindModuleFile().
      * Re-implemented InitializeMagick() to try harder at finding the
        uninstalled ImageMagick without the help of MAGICK_HOME.  In the future,
        it can try even harder.
      * Unix binaries packages (built with --disable-installed) should now
        work using the same file layout as the distribution file.  There is
        no longer a need to put all files in the same directory.

    2002-08-22  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Under Windows, define UseInstalledMagick to locate components
        using the registry rather than scanning the filesystem.

    2002-08-19  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added DrawSetTextEncoding() function to specify text encoding
        (e.g. "UTF-8").

      * Finished 32-Bit QuantumDepth support.
      * Subimage memory leak fixed (bug report by William Radcliffe).
      * Fixed subimage specification memory overrun.
      * Subimage specification did not work properly under Windows.

    2002-08-15  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Fix problem with TEXT encoder.  It was prepending the
        filename to the text.

    2002-08-15  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Render Postscript via Ghostscript DLL (gsdll32.dll) under Windows
        if it can be loaded.  Only ps.c currently uses this to verify there
        are no problems.

    2002-08-14  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added 16-bit raw write support to PPM.

    2002-08-13  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Re-implemented ReadTTFImage() using the draw.h APIs.

    2002-08-09  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Fixed a libtool bug in order to allow passing -m64 to allow building
        64-bit ImageMagick using gcc 3.1 or later under SPARC Solaris.

    2002-08-04  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added experimental 32-bit QuantumDepth pixel support.
      * Stream support was not thread-safe (bug report by William Radcliffe).
      * Push/PopImagePixels() now recognizes the proper buffer length
        (previously it operated on one scanline at a time).
      * Deprecated Down/Upscale defines.  Replaced them with Scale*ToQuantum()
        and ScaleQuantumTo*() methods.

    2002-08-02  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Changed configure argument --disable-16bit-pixel to
        --with-quantum-depth in order to make its usage more straightforward
        and generic.  Build ImageMagick using an eight-bit quantum via
        --with-quantum-depth=8.
      * Magick++ library builds as a DLL under Windows now.

    2002-07-31  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Delegates/modules are restricted to hard-coded search paths (a
        security feature suggested by Bob Friesenhahn).

    2002-07-29  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added SubstituteString to utility.c for performing substitions
        on strings.
      * Added support for performing Ghostscript-related substitutions while
        reading delegates.mgk and type.mgk files.

    2002-07-27  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added the Windows utility functions NTGhostscriptDLL(),
        NTGhostscriptEXE(), and NTGhostscriptFonts(), to find the DLL,
        executable, and font directory corresponding to the newest Ghostscript
        install on the system.

    2002-07-25  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Split nt.c into ntbase.c and ntfeature.c
      * Split nt.h into ntbase.h and ntfeature.h
      * Invoke NTIsMagickConflict() under Cygwin to ensure that drive letters
        in file specifications are not confused with magick strings.
      * Invoke NTGetTypeList() under Cygwin to read the list of Windows fonts.

    2002-07-21  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Created Windows "setup.exe" style installation package for
        ImageMagick.
      * Include PerlMagick Perl extension for ActiveState ActivePerl as
        checkmark install option in Windows installation package.
      * Include ImageMagickObject OLE Object for WSH and Visual Basic (not
        IIS!!!) as checkmark install option in Windows installation package.
      * Windows installation package establishes file extension associations
        for ImageMagick.

    2002-07-17  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * PPM files were being written in P4 or P5 format if all pixels
        were gray.  This is correct behavior for the PNM format but not for
        the PPM format.

    2002-07-13  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Load font information from Windows rather than depending on hand
        edited type-windows.mgk file. Still not incorporated in Cygwin build.

    2002-07-04  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Typos corrected in perl.html (thanks to Ron Savage);
      * A color profile is now correctly referred to as ICM instead of IPTC.
      * Added XPM color compliance to colors.mgk.
      * $image->Get('clip-mask') now returns the clipping image.

    2002-07-03  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added NTRegistryKeyLookup() to nt.c in order to look up ImageMagick
        installation parameters from the Windows Registry.
      * Updated GetMagickConfigurePath() in magick.c to use installation
        path data from the Windows Registry (if available).
      * Updated VisualMagick/ImageMagick.iss so that Windows Registry is
        updated by install package.

    2002-07-03  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Semaphore.c will compile now when pthreads are not present.
      * 8-Bit Quantum PCD images now read correctly.

    2002-06-20  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Try harder when searching for Ghostscript fonts under Linux.

    2002-06-19  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Identify PICT files via magic.mgk.

    2002-06-18  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added PerlMagick threading support (patch by Doug MacEachern).

    2002-06-16  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * CLIPBOARD and EMF modules compile under MinGW and Cygwin.

    2002-06-14  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      * The wbmp writer would dump core if it received a DirectClass image
        that contained only black and white pixels, because no colormap exists.

    2002-06-09  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Label color could not be set (bug report by Ron Savage).
      * Added CatchException() method to magick/error.c.

    2002-06-06  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * ImageMagick, version 5.4.6-1 released.

    2002-06-05  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added -encoding option to command line utilities.

    2002-06-02  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * ImageMagick, version 5.4.6 released.

    2002-05-29  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * ImageMagick may now be built (static build only) using the
        free MinGW development package from http://www.mingw.org.  Leonard's
        "clipboard" coder is included in the build.

    2002-05-28  Leonard Rosenthol  <leonardr@lazerware.com>

      * Added new "clipboard" coder for reading/writing the system's
        clipboard.  Currently this is only implemented on Windows.
        For example:  'convert logo: clipboard:', 'convert clipboard: foo.png'

    2002-05-28  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Support autotrace via delegates.mgk.  For example:  'convert
        autotrace:file.png file.mvg'

    2002-05-25  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added progress monitor support to DrawImage().

      * Added progress monitor support to wmf.c.

    2002-05-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added EscapeText() to utility.c to support escaping text.

    2002-05-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Text escaping for -draw and DrawAnnotation was not working properly.
        Now it does.  Backslash should act as a escape for the the active
        quote character (', ", or }) as well as backslash.  The backslash
        should be discarded if it was used as an escape character.  In order
        to reliably pass a backslash, two successive backslashes are required
        (e.g. "\\").

    2002-05-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Modified Base64Encode() of utility.c so that it returns the number of
        characters encoded. This avoids having to invoke strlen() on possibly
        megabytes of data.

    2002-05-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Fixed compilation error with Sun Workshop compiler (wmf.c).

    2002-05-11  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Implement polypolygon support in WMF renderer.  Requires libwmf
        0.2.4 with draw_polypolygon IPA callback.

    2002-05-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added --enable-ccmalloc configure option.

    2002-05-09  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * DCM patch provided by Shane Blackett.

    2002-05-07  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

    2002-04-30  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Subimage specification did not work for TIFF (e.g.
        convert 'image.tiff[1]' image.png).

    2002-04-30  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * ImageMagick, version 5.4.5 released.

    2002-04-20  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Fixed all known bugs with the IMDisplay utility for Windows.

    2002-04-17  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * configure.ac (libtool_build_static_libs): Added
        --enable-delegate-build option to suuport building ImageMagick
        using delegate libraries in subdirectories of the ImageMagick source
        directory.

    2002-04-16  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * WMF now supplies bitmaps as inline images rather than via a mpri
        reference.

    2002-04-15  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Fixed DrawImage() to properly handle affine image transforms.
      * Added AffineTransformImage() to C API.
      * Added -transform option to convert/mogrify program.

    2002-04-13  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * magick/magick.c (MagickToMime): New method to return the MIME media
        type corresponding to a specified magick tag.

        by Youki Kadobayashi).

    2002-04-08  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added reference counted blobs.
      * Added MagickFatalError() and SetFatalErrorHandler() to the C API.
      * One color images caused memory corruption in QuantizeImage() (thanks
        to Vincent Broz).
      * Memory leak in NormalizeImage() (thanks to Vincent Broz).

    2002-04-06  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>

      *  Added CCIS-601 4:2:2 YUV format read-write support.
      *  Added CCIS-601 4:2:2 MPEG-2 format write support.

    2002-03-28  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * ImageToBlob() only returned the first frame of a multi-frame image.

    2002-04-05  Leonard Rosenthol  <leonardr@lazerware.com>

      * Fixed inversion of colors when converting CMYk JPEG to PDF

      * ImageMagick, version 5.4.4, released.

    2002-03-26  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * Added preliminary version of C API for vector drawing commands
        (draw.h & draw.c).  This interface is subject to change, and has not
        even been tested yet so it should not be used to support production
        code.  The previous draw.h and draw.c have been renamed to render.h
        and render.c respectively.

    2002-03-25  Leonard Rosenthol  <leonardr@lazerware.com>

    2002-03-12  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Changed Clone*Info() API so structure members are set directly rather
        than by the *clone=*info method (suggested by William Radcliffe).

    2002-03-11  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>

      * Added AcquireString() to allocate read-only strings.

    2002-03-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

      * coders/null.c (WriteNULLImage): Support writing "null:" image type
        for use when profiling or testing ImageMagick.
