Fixed a core-dump bug in gifcomb revealed by the ELF environment in Linux - 1.2.13. - -Version 2.2b: ------------- -1. Added gifburst tool. - -Version 2.2 ------------ -1. Linux is supported. - -Version 2.1 ------------ -1. Added the gifovly tool, which supports making a composite from several GIF - images. - -2. Used gifovly to implement a full-fledged pasteup program in shell. It's - called gifcompose and lives in the util directory. - -3. Added a copy of the GIF89 standard to the doc directory (gif89.txt); - also a description of the preferred compression method (lzgif.txt). - -Version 2.0 ------------ - With this version, development was taken over from Gershon Elber by Eric -S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>. Note that I, esr, have pretty much -adhered to Gershon's coding style, even though it's quite baroque and DOS- -headed by my standards. - -Library Improvements - -1. New DGifSlurp() and EGifSpew() library entry points allow all GIF-bashing - to be done in core on machines with sufficient memory. Writing code to - slice'n'dice multiple GIFs in non-sequential ways is now much easier (send - kudos and brickbats to esr, small unmarked bills preferred). - -2. The interface has changed somewhat. Members in the GifFileType structure - have been renamed and regrouped. This was required for support of the - SavedImages member (which enables the new functions mentioned in 1). Also, - there is a new data type for allocated color maps and routines to handle - it conveniently. - -3. Some minor bugs have been fixed. Most notably, the DGif code now correctly - handles the possibility of more than one code block per extension record, - as per the GIF spec. It's not clear, however, that anyone ever has or - ever will use this feature for anything... - -New Tools and Options - -4. A brand new, ultra-spiffy tool `icon2gif' is included. It assembles named - GIFs with editable text color map & icon raster representations to produce - multi-image GIFs usable as graphical resource files. It can also dump most - GIFs in the same text-only form it parses. This makes it easy to edit GIFs - even if you don't have a graphics editor. - -5. The gifclip utility supports a new `-c' (complement) option that allows you - to perform an `inverse clip', removing horizontal or vertical bands from an - image. - -6. The gifclrmp utility supports a new `-t' switch for shuffling color index - values. - -7. A new tool `gifcolor' generates test pattern from colormap input. - -New Documentation and Examples - -8. The documentation has been overhauled completely and translated out of the - dialect spoken by the estimable Mr. Elber into something like standard - English :-). - -9. Two source code files gifspnge.c and giffiltr.c have been added to the - util directory. These are GIF copiers that exercise the I/O routines, - provided as skeletons for your applications. Read the comments in them - for more info. - -10. The util Makefile for UNIX has been improved. It now uses the cc/gcc -s - option rather than strip(1). There are now separate install productions, - so you can test new versions in util before installation for production - (the top-level make script still does an install). - - -Version 1.2 ------------ -1. GIFFIX - a new tool to attempt and fix broken GIF images. Currently fix - images that has EOF prematurely by padding with the darkest color. -2. Make GIF2BGI display as much as it can considering the mem. avail. -3. Add -q flag to all tools for quite running scan line number mode. -4. Fix a (minor!?) bug in the GIF decoder when encountering code 4095. -5. New tools (RGB2GIF and GIF2RGB) to convert GIF to/from 24 bits RGB images. -6. New tool GIFROTAT to rotate a gif image by an arbitrary angle. -7. GifRSize was updated to resize by an arbitrary factor. - -Version 1.1 ------------ -1. GIF2BGI - a new utility to display GIF images using Borland's BGI drivers - (if you have one...) -2. TEXT2GIF - Converts plain text into GIF images. -3. GIF2IRIS - SGI4D display program for GIF images. -4. GIF_LIB naming convension has been modified to make sure it has unique - names (see gif_lib.h). -5. Support for SGI4D gl and X11 window grabbing has been added to the - library. SGI4D input is quantizied into 8 bits. - Also support for EGA/VGA devices has been added as well. - see Dev2gif.c module. -6. Support for the new gif89a format has been added. - -Enjoy, - -Gershon Elber -gershon@cs.utah.edu - -Eric S. Raymond -esr@snark.thyrsus.com |
