1.3.3 (December 9, 2008)
========================
Security Fixes:
* None.
Bug fixes:
* 'identify' was throwing an assertion when used on colormapped
files (this bug was introduced by 1.3.2).
* With the -segment option, eliminate trashing the image colors when
used on huge images.
* 'identify -format "%c"' now reports the entire comment regardless
of size.
* Argument to -convolve is no longer arbitrarily truncated so huge
convolution kernels may now be specified from the command line.
Performance Improvements:
* Image segmentation (-segment) is now accelerated using OpenMP and
uses several other tactics to improve execution performance.
* 'identify "*"' now successfully works in a 32-bit application when
used in a directory containing a million files.
* 'identify' now executes quickly when used on TIFF files.
Fotoxx is a free open source Linux program for editing image files
from a digital camera. The goal of fotoxx is to meet most image
editing needs while remaining easy to use.
Navigate images with a pageable thumbnail window, edit an entire
image or selected areas, change brightness and contrast, flatten
brightness distribution, change color intensity, reduce the number
of colors (posterize), make panoramas, make HDR images, crop, rotate
(any angle), rescale, fix red-eye, fix perspective (slanted
buildings), warp, sharpen, blur, remove noise (speckles), add tags
to images and search by tags, make a collage of images and text,
print.
Graphite is a project under development within SIL's Non-Roman Script
Initiative and Language Software Development groups to provide
rendering capabilities for complex non-Roman writing systems.
Its smart-font engine is the bit that takes a Unicode string, font
formatting information (features, size, etc.), and a font, and returns
a set of positioned glyphs. Graphite also does more than this, in
that it can handle cursor tracking and interaction with the
application for string selection, etc.
Comix 4.0.0
- Comix has been completely rewritten from scratch. On the surface things
look quite a bit like they used to, but the internal workings are
entirely new. There are too many changes for them all to be mentioned
here, but a couple of highlights are a much more functional library and a
new archive editing dialog. The work on this new version of Comix has
been going on in rather sporadic phases for almost two years, and during
that time I have received help from lots of different people. Now, I must
admit, I can no longer remember them all. So instead of trying to list as
many as I can here, I will instead simply say thank you to everyone who
have contributed fixes, patches, suggestions or encouraging words. Thanks!

RMagick 2.8.0

help from Mihai Chelaru (kefren):
F-Spot supports 16 common files types, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF,
RAW, and others.
It can import your photos from your hard drive, camera (including
PTP type), or iPod.
Photos can be tagged for searching and grouping, and the timeline
gives quick sense of temporal location, and quantity of photos
taken. F-Spot can view and export EXIF and XMP metadata in your
images.
Other features include fullscreen and slideshow modes.
Editing photos in F-Spot is a breeze. Easily rotate, crop, resize,
and adjust red eye and other color settings with a few simple
clicks. Versioning ensures your originals are never altered.
Enter descriptions of photos that are saved in the actual file so
other people and programs will be able to see them, whether they
use F-Spot or not.
F-Spot allows for quick and precise color adjustments, including
brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and temperature.
* Remove copy of X11 header files for old X11,
it may cause build failure with recent X, like a PR 39975.
* Need rgb.txt, add dependency on x11/rgb for X11_TYPE=modular.
And fix path for the file (SUBST.rgb and patch-ac).
* Add DESTDIR support. it seems that rules of imake deal spaces after cammna
as part of the argument (patch-ac).
* Replace IMAKE_MANNEWSUFFIX with IMAKE_MAN_SUFFIX in PLIST.
* hard coded errno and sys_errlist is not portable these days (patch-ab)
* sort PLIST
* regen patches with unfied diff.
Bump PKGREVISION.
1.3.2 (November 29, 2008)
=========================
Security Fixes:
* None.
Bug fixes:
* -roll was failing for colormapped images.
* VID: Memory leak fix.
* PREVIEW: Solarize parameter was wrong.
* Delegates previously using 'spawn' needed an ampersand so that
starting the child process does not hang the GUI.
Feature improvements:
* +profile now supports an exclusion syntax. For example ``+profile
'!icm,*'`` removes all of the profiles except for the ICM profile.
The new syntax also allows multiple profiles to be listed at once.
Performance Improvements:
* AdaptiveThreshold, Blur, Convolve, and MotionBlur no longer
process the opacity channel unless the image has one.

The (so called) "Security Images" are so popular. Most internet
software use these in their registration screens to block robot
programs (which may register tons of fake member accounts). Security
images are basicaly, graphical CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public
Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart). This module gives
you a basic interface to create such an image. The final output is
the actual graphic data, the mime type of the graphic and the
created random string. The module also has some "styles" that are
used to create the background (or foreground) of the image.
If you are an Authen::Captcha user, see GD::SecurityImage::AC for
migration from Authen::Captcha to GD::SecurityImage.
This module is just an image generator. Not a captcha handler. The
validation of the generated graphic is left to your programming
taste. But there are some captcha handlers for several Perl
FrameWorks. If you are an user of one of these frameworks, see
"GD::SecurityImage Implementations" in "SEE ALSO" section for
information.
Release 1.8.4 (2008-11-14 Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>)
=========================================================
The cairo community is pleased to announce the 1.8.4 release of the
cairo graphics library. This is the second update to cairo's stable
1.8 series and contains a small number of bug fixes, (in particular a
few fixes for build failures of cairo 1.8.2 on various systems). This
is being released just over two weeks after cairo 1.8.2.
We recommend that everyone using cairo upgrade to 1.8.4.
