* Fixed absolute intent on PostScript CRD
* Man pages for utilities.
* Access to creation & calibration date time.
* Lots of bug fixes
Changes:
Overall speedup
Full ICC v4 support
New CGATS.13/IT8 parser
8-bit transforms optimization
Improved named color -- lcms can now write such profiles as well
lcms can now write 8 bit profiles as well as 16 bit
softproof now honors proofing intent
Absolute colorimetric works fine on mixed v2/v4 transforms
Improved black point compensation
Several new utility functions
Black point compensation on PostScript CRD
Added support for HiFi (> 4 inks) on tifficc
Improved icclink
Add lcms.pc pkg-config file
(http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/pkgconfig).
USE_TETRAHEDRAL and USE_TRILINEAR no longer used -- engine now
chooses between interpolation methods
on depending on several heuristics.
Package changes:
The include files moved from $PREFIX/include/lcms to
$PREFIX/include. Support added to buildlink*.mk to provide
compatibility symlinks include/lcms/*.h in BUILDLINK_DIR.
No list of changes since the previously packaged version (1.06), I do not
even know if there was any versions in between... Anyway changes
in version 1.12 are (from the homepage):
- Brightness/Contrast/Hue/Saturation/WhitePoint modification across abstract
profile
- License changed to MIT
- pseq tag handling: cmsReadProfileSequenceDescription and cmsSEQ,
cmsPSEQDESC structures
- CRD generation now supports black point compensation, see
cmsGetPostScriptCRDEx
- cmsTakeManufacturer and cmsTakeModel for uncooked info on these tags
- Writing 8 bit profiles is now supported
- Named color profiles support. This turns lcms from a "wide subset" into
a "full implementation" of ICC 3.4, with some ICC 4.0 support.
- PostScript CSA, CRD generation
- Ink-Limiting capabilities for CMYK
- Devicelink profile generation.
- Gray scale virtual profiles
- Linearization virtual device link profiles
- New ICCLINK and ICC2PS utilities
- SWIG wrapper. This enables lcms from Python.
- Floating-point formats are now accepted as well.
- More ICC 4.0 compatibility. Some 4.0 profiles are now are fully understood
(still experimental)
- Profiles can now be saved to memory (thanks to Steven Greaves for providing
the code)
- Char Target data are now handled. Some profiles does store the data
profiler has used. This is all information needed to rebuild the profile
from scratch.
- New low-resolution flag cmsFLAGS_LOWRESPRECALC to save memory.
- User-defined encodings are now supported.
- cmsChangeBuffersFormat() to change the encoding of buffers on runtime
allows reuse of existing transforms.
- Gamma estimation routines cmsEstimateGamma() and cmsEstimateGammaEx()
- multilocalized unicode is now supported. Language and codepage is
selected via cmsSetLanguage() (ICC 4.0 only)
- LUT handling has been enhanced with enumerators. (SAMPLER_INSPECT)
- Improved TIFFICC, JPEGICC and ICCTRANS utilities.
- cmsOpenProfileFromMem() no longer creates temporary files.
- Transforms does accept now a maximum of 8 channels on input and 16 on
output. (last version did accept 6 on input)
- 8 <-> 16 bits per sample are now always computed accurately.
- Some minor bugs fixed
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
