July 13th, 2004 ivtools-1.2.1
Two crashes discovered and fixed by Michal Palczewski (mpalczew at
users.sourceforge.net). One was a crash on exit after a delete with
idraw/drawtool, the other was a crash upon delete with graphdraw.
They turned out to be long-standing bugs in the order of object
deletion, problems that hadn't appeared with other versions of gcc.
RedHat must have adopted a more aggressive recycling of freed space in
a recent release. Thanks Michal.
June 3rd, 2004 ivtools-1.2
ivtools-1.2 sets a new direction for the package, toward peer-to-peer
drawing chat. ivtools' drawserv, the editor that incorporates every ivtool
mechanism to date (multi-frame, graph-editing, integrated scripting
language) has been extended to support a unique kind of
small-granularity shared whiteboard.
This work was based on the pre-existing networked scripting capability
of ivtools' comdraw. Then the pasting of any graphic was intercepted,
and the graphic serialized into a command that could be communicated
to other drawing editors to keep them in sync.

security fixes)
changes:
version 1.2.6rc3 [August 9, 2004]
Eliminated use of "abs()" in testing cHRM and gAMA values, to avoid
trouble with some 64-bit compilers. Created PNG_OUT_OF_RANGE() macro.
Revised documentation of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks().
Check handle_as_unknown status in pngpread.c, as in pngread.c previously.
Moved "PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_*" macros out of PNG_INTERNAL section of png.h
Added "rim" definitions for CONST4 and CONST6 in pnggccrd.c
version 1.2.6rc4 [August 10, 2004]
Fixed mistake in pngtest.c introduced in 1.2.6rc2 (declaration of
"pinfo" was out of place).
version 1.2.6rc5 [August 10, 2004]
Moved "PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_*" macros out of PNG_ASSEMBLER_CODE_SUPPORTED
section of png.h where they were inadvertently placed in version rc3.
version 1.2.6rc6 [August 15, 2004]
Revised pngtest so memory allocation testing is only done when PNG_DEBUG==1.
Changes between 0.8 and 0.9:
----------------------------
* fix for a buffer overflow in the line rendering
* fixed resizing in the ncurses and slang drivers
* aspect ratio and finer zoom support in cacaview
* minor compilation fixes
Changes between 0.7 and 0.8:
----------------------------
* window resizing support
* native Win32 port
* autorepeat emulation in the ncurses and slang drivers
* support for more keycodes in the ncurses and slang drivers
* cacaplas, a plasma animation example
* cacamoir, a moiré circles animation example
* MSVC project file
Changes between 0.6 and 0.7:
----------------------------
* many bugfixes in the event handling
* cacaball, a metaball animation example
Changes between 0.5 and 0.6:
----------------------------
* 30% speed increase in the bitmap rendering routine
* mouse support and various speed optimisations in the X11 driver
* X11 is now the preferred driver
* improved documentation
* minor bugfixes
Package change: use (n)curses by default instead of slang.
* 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).
* Rare memory corruption due to a JPEG comment (bug report by
brundlefly76@hotma...).
* 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.
* Do not report image depth unless the -verbose or -format %z option is used
with the identify program.
* 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().

This includes the Python extension in wip/py-vtkmodule: vtk-python
already links against a specific Python version, so the Python
extension cannot be built for multiple Python versions anyway.
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- The function `FT_Get_CharMap_Index' was only declared, without
any real code. For consistency, it has been renamed to
`FT_Get_Charmap_Index'. (This function is needed to implement
cmap caches.)
- `FT_Outline_Get_BBox' sometimes returned incorrect values for
conic outlines (e.g., for TrueType fonts).
- Handling of `bhed' table has been fixed.
- The TrueType driver with enabled byte code interpreter sometimes
returned artifacts due to incorrect rounding. This bug has been
introduced after version 2.1.4.
- The BDF driver dropped the last glyph in the font.
- The BDF driver now uses the DEFAULT_CHAR property (if available)
to select a glyph shape for the undefined glyph.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- George Williams contributed code to handle Apple's font
distortion technology found in GX fonts (`avar', `cvar', `fvar',
and `gvar' tables; the Multiple Masters API has been slightly
extended to cope with the new functionality).
- The `FT_GlyphSlotRec' structure has been extended: The elements
`lsb_delta' and `rsb_delta' give the difference between hinted
and unhinted left and right side bearings if autohinting is
active. Using those values can improve the inter-letter spacing
considerably. See the documentation of `FT_GlyphSlotRec' and
the `ftstring' demo program how to use it.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- A new documentation file `formats.txt' describes various font
formats supported (and not supported) by FreeType.

KPhotoBook is a powerful, easy to use, intuitive and fast application to
manage and organize your photos. The main idea is to be able to annotate
your photos with tags and to refind the photos using the given tags.
The tags which can be created by yourself are arranged in a tree.
The KPhotoBook GUI comes up with several points which makes the handling
with many photos very easy. This is just a short excerpt of it's goodies:
* It is very easy to annotate tags to one or more images at a time
* It is very easy to find images by the given tags (actually one mouse
click only is needed)
* It is very easy to edit the image database with an external program -
it's saved as XML file
slightly modified by me.
