GraphicsMagick p5-GraphicsMagick: updated to 1.3.42
1.3.42 (September 23, 2023)
Special Issues:
GraphicsMagick really does need some additional productive volunteers. For \
several years now, the burden has entirely been on me (Bob Friesenhahn). I have \
been sheparding the project for 22 years already (and contributed to ImageMagick \
and GraphicsMagick combined for 27 years already). It is not reasonable to \
expect someone with a full time job (and expecting to retire in a few years) to \
do all of the work.
Security Fixes:
GraphicsMagick is participating in Google's oss-fuzz project since February 4 \
2018 due to the contributions and assistance of Alex Gaynor and Paul Kehrer. The \
issues list is available at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list \
under search term "graphicsmagick". Issues are available for anyone to \
view and duplicate if they have been in "Verified" status for 30 days, \
or if they have been in "New" status for 90 days. Please consult the \
GraphicsMagick ChangeLog file, Mercurial repository commit log, and the oss-fuzz \
issues list for details.
GraphicsMagick has been participating in Synopsys's Coverity program for free \
software projects since 2015. There has been a continuing objective to keep \
outstanding defects at 0, or very close to 0. Information about the Coverity \
status may be found at https://scan.coverity.com/projects/graphicsmagick.
Bug fixes:
TIFF: Default the alpha channel to type EXTRASAMPLE_UNASSALPHA(2).
BMP: Many fixes for reading esoteric BMP sub-formats.
TranslateTextEx(): Revert change so now a NULL pointer is returned when given an \
empty string. Some algorithms (e.g. montage) were depending on this!.
PAM: Fix reading comments.
PNG: Added Add missing module aliases "PNG00", "PNG48", \
"PNG64", so it is again possible to request these subformats directly.
TIFF: For common formats with the required number of channels, but one is an \
'unspecified' channel, promote unspecified alpha to unassociated alpha so that \
the alpha channel is not ignored.
"Magick" command line emulation: Eliminate duplicate utility name \
output in error messages
New Features:
BMP: Added the ability to read and write BMP using JPEG compression. Use \
'-define bmp:allow-jpeg' to allow use of JPEG compression.
BMP: Added support for BI_ALPHABITFIELDS compression
BMP: Added support for reading BMP with PNG compression.
API Updates:
None.
Windows Delegate Updates/Additions:
None.
Build Changes:
Inno-Setup installer script now also supports MSVC 2010 and 2013 runtimes.
Support for the 'XTRN' coder (needed by ImageMagickObject) is now optional and \
disabled by default.
Visual Studio 2013 (MSVC 12.0) (or later) is needed to build 64-bit applications \
given that 'strtod()' is broken in earlier versions. Not much works at all if \
strtod() does not work properly.
Behavior Changes:
Decided to not deprecate the ability to extend existing image attribute text by \
calling SetImageAttribute() multiple times. There are too many subtle usages of \
this feature. The annoying printf introduced in 1.3.41 has been disabled.
