Version 4.1.4
=============
This version fixes some bugs with deallocating ColorMaps and fix building
on several platforms.
* Fix several areas in decoding where we removed a ColorMap from our GifFile
but didn't set the pointer to NULL. This could lead to double free's of
the ColorMap.
* Fix a bug in dev2gif.c where we redefined some gl types incorrectly.
* Fix building on Windows. Note -- there has been one API changing event for
Windows (renaming DrawText to DrawGifText.) This should have conflicted with
Windows API and therefore caused the builds to fail previously. If you had
it working with DrawText before, apologies, you'll need to change to
DrawGifText in your code. This only affects Windows.
* Add support for building on The Game Boy Advance. Note: Due to the GBA's
limited memory, the API for the GBA uses short's in many places where the
other platforms use ints. This shouldn't affect anyone unless you've
been able to get an older version of the code to run on GBA and want to
start using this version instead. A recompile of your dependent code
will be necessary in this case.
* Make the EGifPutExtension{First,Next,Last} family of functions use WRITE
so user defined WRITE methods will output them correctly.
* Modify EGifSpew and EGifPutComment to use EGifPutExtension{First,Next,Last}
so we won't output broken GIFs when dealing with GIFs with multiple
subblocks.
* More -Wall fixes revealed while testing on Solaris and FreeBSD.
* Updated the gif_lib.html documentation to not use EGifPutExtension when
dealing with multiple subblocks. Use EGifPutExtension{First,Next,Last}
instead.
* Some Windows code from the old CVS repository now available in the windows
subdirectory. I don't have a Windows environment to test and maintain this
but maybe someone out there will find it useful. Caveat hacker.
Changes 4.1.2:
* Numerous bug fixes from people on the old libungif mailing list.
* GIF_ERROR and GIF_MESSAGE are on the deprecation list as they are also
utility helper functions rather than essential to the functioning of the
library.
* Complete deprecation list is now in the README file
* Audited the sources with gcc -Wall. Everything detectable has now been fixed.
* Ran the library code through indent.
Changes 4.1.1:
* libungif is now hosted on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libungif
* Merge in many bug fixes that were sent in while I was hiking the
Appalachian Trail.
* The qprintf methods of the library are now deprecated. Do not use
GifQuietPrint or GifQprintf. These should have been pushed out into the
utility helper library instead of sitting around in the library proper at
the same time as the getarg functions were moved out. Getting rid of these
will let us get rid of our dependence on stdarg.h/varargs.h (Which a Gif
reading library has no business requiring.)
