./graphics/p5-GraphicsMagick, Object-oriented Perl interface to GraphicMagick

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.3.42nb6, Package name: p5-GraphicsMagick-1.3.42nb6, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This is an objected-oriented Perl interface to GraphicsMagick, a fork of
ImageMagick. It provides an interface similar to that PerlMagick provides
to ImageMagick, but wit a different class name.
Use the module to read, manipulate, or write an image or image sequence from
within a Perl script. This makes it suitable for Web CGI scripts.

Log message:
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.
