Short: SuperView V5.33 + Library 12.7 (13.1.96)
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@superview.ftn.sub.org
Uploader: Martin Schulze (schulze@phil.uni-sb.de)
Type: gfx/show
IMPORTANT: FIXED CYBERGRAPHX/OS3.00 AND MORE CRASH CONDITIONS
SuperView V5.33 EL (evaluation), a localized Graphics Viewer/Converter/
ScreenGrabber for the superview.library, with ARexx-Support, GUI,
AmigaGuide-OnlineHelp, Cx-Support and many more features.
Converting graphics and "Screen-Grabbing" is possible in a very comfortable
and object-oriented manner, also allows image processing via SVOperators.
OS V2.04+ is required, OS V2.1 and V3.x features are used if available.
SHAREWARE.
Evaluation version with "please register" requester and some restrictions
(until you receive your KeyFile...).
Includes licensed SuperView-Library Version 12.7, which includes the
following FileFormats, Display Drivers and Operators:
SVObjects : - IFF-ILBM - Windows BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- IFF-ACBM - JPEG (JFIF) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- IFF-YUVN - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Graphics)
- IFF-DEEP - TIFF - MacPaint MAC
- PCX - EPS - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- GIF - FBM - Windows Icon
- QRT/POV - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- SunRaster
and also handles all OS3-Datatypes !
Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.
Includes "FastILBM24.svobject" for easily reading
24 Bit ILBMs without huge memory usage.
UtahRLE.svobject is available separately.
SVDrivers : - ECS - AGA - EGS7
- OpalVision - Retina - CyberGraphics
- PicassoII - Merlin
SVOperators : - Dither24Bit - 24BitToHAM - HilbertDither256
- ExtractRed - ExtractGreen - ExtractBlue
- XOR - ExtractGrayScales - TopToBottom
- LeftToRight - Rotate - Scale50
- AnyTo24Bit - Crop - CallPNM
- OptimizePalette - RotateFree
plus the following from Steve Quartly:
- SQBentley - SQTiling - SQThreshold
- SQOilPaint - SQMosaic - SQEmboss
- SQSlicing - SQDiffuse - SQContrast
- SQSharpen - SQBlur - SQDeep_Press
- SQMotion_Blur - SQHighPass
PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V5.33: - now GUI is also fully localized: had to use a second
catalog for the GUI - named "superview_gui.catalog" -
which is yet only available in ENGLISH (default) and GERMAN
- removed english catalog/ct since it is default
(english texts are available for translation as comments
within the german ct files)
- redesigned GUI slightly
- searched for EHits in configuration and file requester routines
(-> Andy Philpotts)
- with the GUI still closed and no public screen present
called "Workbench", the Filerequester would have produced
an Enforcer Hit
- there was a wrong reference to "DefaultIcons/". Changed to
"PROGDIR:Bonus/DefaultIcons/" now (would have been used with
no "ICONPATH" defined)
- included superview.library V12.7, which fixes some important
bugs - mainly in the same context as with V5.31 and V5.32
V5.32: - rewrote docs
- sample config file now refers to PROGDIR: so that
no longer default-like "Work:" will be requested for Icons
when saving
(-> Sven Drieling)
- new superview.library V12.6
(IMPORTANT FIXES -> SEE LIBRARY-DOCS)
V5.31: - MAJOR RELEASE
- Fixed bugs occuring when starting on various 68K-machines
(68060, some 68040, JPEG with 68000)
- new superview.library V12.5
(SEE LIRBARY-DOCS)
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V12.7 (13.1.1996) :
-------------------
- CRASHES IN GENERAL (math-related)
It seems as if the opening (can't say, whether the libraries
themself) of transient math libraries (like "mathtrans.library"
together with "mathffp.library" or "mathieeedoubtrans.library"
together with "mathieee.library") did cause all the concerned
SVObjects (recently JPEG, but no longer) and/or SVOperators
(RotateFree) to crash on certain systems like 68060, some 68000
and some 68040 (on my system only, when running SnoopDOS at the
same time to catch library openings).
May be a problem of shared libraries and ramlib in conjunction
with specific math libraries, a specific SAS/C bug
- or just accidental...
No problems when only using "mathffp.library" or using link
libraries for both, non-transient and transient functions.
No more crashes at startup (Guru #4).
We now do that this way. It works. Really.
No more tries...
- SVDrivers: CyberGraphics
the CyBERGraphX driver did distort any 8 Bit odd
width graphics (not divideable by 16 without rest)
when displaying under OS V3.00 (V39).
This did not happen with graphics < 320x240
and the SMALLSCREENS option unset and
it did not concern OS V3.1 (V40) users.
(-> Jürgen Schäfer)
- SVOperators: OptimizePalette, RotateFree
both had bugs or did crash
- Docs: - several changes
V12.6 (22.12.1995) :
--------------------
- several Modules: - PCX, GIF, PICT, SVG, UnPack, ECS,
ExtractGrayScales, RotateFree, ...:
sesond revision of startup-code with
correct initializers (for e.g. lib_Revision)
- SVDrivers: - ECS:
Usage of V39 options caused odd-address errors
under V38 and below.
With V2.7 of ECS.svdriver displaying under V38
and below perhaps was impossible. Fixed.
(-> reported by Klaus Schneider and Sven Drieling)
- SVObjects: - GIF: fixed handling (skipping) of non-graphics GIFs
- PCX: fixed handling of planar graphics with
a width > 2048
- JPEG: did again reference JPEGTMP:
(-> Sven Drieling)
- Support-Library: - now does no longer drop comments and linefeeds
when loading/saving
(-> Steve Quartly)
See includes and docs for more information.
- Programmers: - added SVObject, SVDriver, SVOperator flag
to indicate "break while still in progress"
support (Includes). Not set anywhere yet.
(-> Simon Edwards)
- Docs: - added "68060-Users" and "IMPORTANT.txt" to main
library-guide file's new section
"Known bugs and workarounds", which quite
better structured and accessible than before
- added note on how to get the OpalVision driver
working in cases with black screen or distorted
display (color 0 blue component adjustment)
- reworked documentation
V12.5 (16.12.1995) :
--------------------
- MAJOR bugfix release for 68060, some 68040 and others
- should no longer crash at startup time
(and perhaps also not later ;-)
- several Modules: JPEG, PICT, Unpack, SVG
- added new, rock-solid startup code
- replaced IEEE with FFP support (when used),
due to former crashes
- hopefully no more crashes on certain systems
(especially 2000/4000 with 68000 and 68060)
-> users of PMPro modules would perhaps also
need an update of those
- SVObjects: - JPEG
Completely rewrote JPEG - now supports progressive
JPEGs, many settings to be done for faster, more/less
precise or qualitative decoding, and so on.
Basing on the IJG sources V6.
Now fully reentrant for parallel uses within
the Amiga's multitasking system.
FASTER.
Now allows several different methods to influence
the way JPEG data is read and written, decompressed
and compressed, decoded and encoded.
MAJOR rework for professional JPEG usage.
Hopefully also fixes some of the 68000 and 68060
problems -> please send reports !
- PICT:
- changed some compiler options and tried to prevent
040/060 crashes
- and more
- SVG:
- reduced dependence from xpk-library, which also
should help avoiding the 040/060 crashes
(since no longer opening those library during
initialization, but maybe later)
- and more
- LIBRARY: - recompiled with new GST
