~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v1.0.0 - 12/09/94
-----------------
o First release.
v1.0.1 - 16/09/94
-----------------
o No longer dependant on v37+ of the diskfont.library, works fine with
v36 (non-scalable version).
v1.0.2 - 25/09/94
-----------------
o Stops non-AGA users from changing ImageStudio's screen to greater than
16 colours.
v1.1.0 - 17/10/94
-----------------
o Improved colour reduction algorithm. Much more accurate, much faster.
Removed necessity to have 3 different colour choice options.
o Added `Palette Edit' requester to allow the user the ability to change
the palette of the current image.
o Added EPS file output.
o Improved colour choice with HAM6 and HAM8 images.
o Improved accuracy of the dither algorithms.
o Improved accuracy of the colour remapping algorithm.
o Registered version now on 2 disks and includes documentation in
ASCII text, AmigaGuide hypertext, TeX dvi and PostScript formats.
o Fixed bug which caused the fuelgauge in the infobar to be incorrectly
drawn if the title bar font was different to Topaz 8.
v1.2.0 - 4/12/94
----------------
o Improved speed of preview redraw.
o Added greyscale JPEG read / write.
o Improved speed and quality of HAM6 and HAM8 file creation.
o Improved speed and quality of 24bit internal viewer.
o Now uses ASL screenmode requester with Workbench2.1+.
o Added dynamic range expansion effect.
o Now sets program stack size within the program - no need to set the
stack from the CLI.
o Fixed bug which caused the FlipX effect to work incorrectly with
24bit images.
o Fixed bug which caused non-AGA Amigas to think that they could view
64, 128 and 256 colour pictures directly.
o Few minor bug fixes and improvements.
v1.2.1 - 7/12/94
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Changed error in documentation that stated that we accept cheques
drawn on non-UK banks. WE ONLY ACCEPT CHEQUES AND POSTAL ORDERS
FROM THE UK. If ordering from outside the UK, we suggest an
international money order - apologies for any confusion caused.
There is no change to the program over v1.2.0.
v2.0.0 - 13/03/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Added ARexx.
o Added AmigaGuide online help.
o Added program Iconify.
o Added AppIcon for drag and drop file loading.
o Added hook functions to ASL screenmode requesters to allow refreshing
in the background.
o Added current filename to the preview window title bar.
o Added the ability to read corrupt files upto the point at which they
become corrupt.
o Changed HAM remapping tables when using the internal 24bit viewer -
no more "Remapping..." waits.
o Changed preferences window.
o Changed way default screenmode is chosen. Before, it was taken from
the Workbench - now the default is HiRes, 640x200 (NTSC) or
640x256 (PAL) and 16 colours.
o Removed GIF save.
o Fixed bug which caused the menus to be incorrectly laid out for 2
colour screens.
o Fixed bug which some bright colours to be represented as mid-grey in
a >16 colour greyscale preview.
o Fixed bug which caused the checkboxes in the balance floating palette
to be read incorrectly on Workbench 2.04.
o Fixed bug which caused some messages to be 'lost'.
v2.1.0 - 22/05/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Added fully font sensitive interface.
o Added co-ords as a floating palette to reduce the size of the infobar.
o Added loaders and savers as external modules.
o Added "Flush buffers" to edit menu to allow free'ing of old undo/redo
buffers.
o Added the abilty to double-click on a script/convolve/effect in the
lists to start it.
o Added Crop250x250, RegionStore and RegionRecall scripts.
o Re-introduced GIF save (now much improved) via a freely distributable
module.
o Changed disabling method used for unregistered version. Now ImageStudio
will load in any size of image, but only a maximum of 250x250 pixels
are kept (the rest of the buffer is blank).
o Changed IFF-ILBM loader: now faster and handles images with stencils.
o Changed PCX saver: now saves smaller 24bit files.
o Changed GIF loader: now loads GIF89a files.
o Changed save and prefs requester layout slightly.
o Changed: now tries to flush AmigaGuide library from memory when
ImageStudio quits. This solves the problem where i) the library used
RAM when it was resident and ii) the library left a lock on the
Workbench screen - thus stopping it from being closed.
o Changed: now requires much less working memory when running.
o Changed: now when changing the balance of an image whilst the preview
is zoomed in, all the image is affected. This is now consistent with
the effects.
o Fixed bug: now pressing 'Abort' when opening an image returns an
error to ARexx.
o Fixed bug which caused the command shell to open on the Workbench if
the ImageStudio screen had no name.
v2.1.1
~~~~~~
o Fixed bug in the GIF saver which caused the images to be saved
one pixel to the right.
o Fixed bug which caused the program to crash if two copies were
run simultaneously and the second one was forced to quit.
v2.2.0 - 21/08/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Added Datatype, IFF-DEEP, PNM (PBM, PGM, PPM), QRT (DKB, POV)
SGI, TIFF and VMEM IO modules.
o Added colour preview.
o Made internal viewer an external module.
o Added 'UnCrash' program, to recover virtual memory swap files
after a crash.
o Unregistered version now crops images to 512x512 rather than
250x250.
v2.3.0 - 2/10/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Changed distribution method to include a printed manual.
o Added CyberGraphX support for viewers and program preview.
o IFF-ILBM files can now be loaded without palette (CMAP)
information. The palette will be left black, which fixes
problems with HAM files which don't provide a palette.
o Fixed bug in datatypes IO module which caused annoying, but
harmless, black lines to be displayed in the preview for
images of 128 colours or less.
