Upstream changes:
LibRaw 0.13.1 (2011-02-08)
* dcraw_emu documentation updated
* ./configure stuff changed for correct linking on some systems
* FBDD denoising is disabled for full-color images and 4-color bayer data
(including forced 4-color via four_color_rgb option)
LibRaw 0.13.0 (since 0.12.x) (2011-02-06)
* New low-level buffering code for Huffman decompression. Canon CR2 files are
opened about 1.5x times faster than on LibRaw 0.12, other huffman-comressed
files unpacks in 1.2-1.3 times faster.
* New exposure correction code based on linear-cubic root combination.
Correction range is from 0.25 (-2 stops) to 8 (+3 stops)
* All 0.12.x features, including new cameras support and half-size/green-matching
fixes.
* Changes and additions in demosaic-pack-GPL3 (all imported from RawTherapee):
o Banding suppression code.
o High-frequency noise suppression.
o Green channels local averaging to suppress maze artifacts.
o OpenMP speed-up in median filters (demosaic pack GPL2)
o OpenMP speed-up in green equilibration (demosaic pack GPL3)
* Bug fixes and improvements:
o Better parsing of unknown command-line params in dcraw_emu sample
o Brigtness table in ahd_demosaic is calculated in reversed order to prevent
possible (very unlikely) multithreaded app problem.
o Fixed file extension in half_mt.c sample.
o Fixed incomplete data fields reset in LibRaw::recycle()
o Patches for ./configure system for better LCMS2 support
o math.h included before any other includes to make KDE compile with Visual
C++ happy
o Fuji FinePix S5500 size adjusted to ignore (rare?) garbage at top of frame.
LibRaw 0.12.4 (2011-02-05)
* Fixed green matching/half-size incompatibility.
* New operations: max-rgb, pixelise, motion blur.
* Fixed a bugs in matting-levin that made GEGL halt due to errors
detected by babl sanity code, this made 0.1.4 be unusable if you had
all dependendency when building.
* build/test improvements.
* Buffer:
Added API to use external tile backends, allowing to plug-in alien
tilebackends, for GIMP/Krita/OSM or similar.
Fixes:
* Cannot extract exif data from Pentax K-x DNG file.
* Crash when writing Exif.Image.Software.
* Assertion in XmpParser::encode should be an exception.
* Regression: Compilation error with EXV_HAVE_XMP_TOOLKIT undefined.
* Regression: Panasonic RW2 files are missing information.
* Updated configuration files (config.guess, config.sub).
* Added new Color Label value to digiKam 2.0.0 XMP namespace.

However, the following are the highlights.
In a nutshell:
* New GDAL drivers : GTX, HF2, JPEGLS, JP2OpenJPEG, JPIPKAK,
KMLSUPEROVERLAY, LOS/LAS, MG4Lidar, NTv2, OZI, PDF, RASDAMAN,
XYZ
* New OGR drivers : AeronavFAA, ArcObjects, GPSBabel, HTF, LIBKML,
MSSQLSpatial, NAS, OpenAir, PDS, PGDump, SOSI, SUA, WFS
* Significantly improved OGR drivers : DXF, GML
* New implemented RFCs:
o RFC 7: Use VSILFILE for VSI*L Functions
o RFC 24: Progressive data support in GDAL
o RFC 28: OGR SQL Generalized Expressions
o RFC 29: OGR Set Ignored Fields
o RFC 30: Unicode Filenames
o RFC 33: GTIFF - Corrected !PixelIsPoint Interpretation
* New utility : gdallocationinfo
Backward compatibility issues:
* MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter
delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application:
MapServer?
* RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint? is handled for GeoTIFF
* GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of
the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward
compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part
* FIX color specification "lc N"
* FIX clipping error in filled curves
* FIX segfault if "refresh" command follows an interrupted replot
Changes 4.4.1:
* NEW Support the "%s" format specifier in strftime()
* NEW Optional 6th data column in candlesticks style to specific box width
* NEW If integer arithmetic i*j or i**j would overflow, return value as a real
* NEW "set style circle radius <default-radius>"
* FIX autoconfiguration of readline support in OSX
* FIX font problems in win terminal
* FIX Protect against runaway recursion by limiting depth of nested functions
* FIX metapost terminal: Fix inheritance of line thickness by text strings
* FIX cairo terminals could segfault on certain enhanced text strings
* FIX pdfcairo output to stdout now works
* FIX font ",size" in non-enhanced mode postscript terminals
* FIX Do a better job of estimating the width of UTF-8 encoded strings
* FIX baseline bug in canvas terminal rotation of enhanced text
* FIX Allow "with labels" to work for binary input data
* FIX update user GPVAL variables after plot in table mode
* CHANGE depth-sorting of pm3d surfaces now applies jointly to all in the plot
* CHANGE 3D impulses are now always drawn from z=0
* CHANGE Enable HIDDEN_QUADTREE by default
* CHANGE Enable "set fit errorvariables" by default
* CHANGE Regardless of current timefmt, read time from binary files as a binary
* CHANGE do not limit 3D rotation to 0<rotx<180
