- Added progressive JPEG encoder
Version 2.2 (Wednesday, 27-Nov-96 22:56:29)
-------------------------------------------

by Peter Bornhall
- Forgot to initialize some frame variables, oops...
- Cleaned some compiler warnings
Version 2.3 (Thursday, 28-Nov-96 23:24:53)
------------------------------------------

Version 2.4 (Monday, 02-Dec-96 22:32:09)
----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: External processes' stack size was too small. Increased
to 10K.
- Added hide gadget in the window top border. Clicking it will make the
window to be closed and the close gadget will close the entire project.

-------------------------------------------
- Added a new menu item: Project/Hide/Show

in use" which can be a bit annoying. Will bring the active window
to front, if need be.
(Thanks to Peter Bornhall for suggesting this)
- Release A3
Version 2.7 (Saturday, 14-Dec-96 12:17:33)
------------------------------------------
- Added shortcut keys to Preferences window

load (this one was a bit tricky...)
Version 2.9 (Monday, 06-Jan-97 18:44:25)
----------------------------------------
- Finally fixed that annoying doublerefresh right after loading
and image... It was trickier than I thought!
- Reworked the internal messaging system. Composite no longer
hangs...
Version 2.10 (Monday, 06-Jan-97 22:02:54)
-----------------------------------------
- Added support to new style shared library iomodules
(ex-loaders)

- Bug fix: Effect window wasn't completely updated to the new style
effects
Version 2.12 (Sunday, 12-Jan-97 22:42:07)
-----------------------------------------
- Speeded up file recognition by adding two new ways of
recognizing files.
- If a loader has internal patterns defined, these will be used
to filter out other files whenever Open As is used
- Save window now changes the file postfix according to which
saver is selected. It looks kinda neat.
Version 3.0 (Friday, 17-Jan-97 23:42:29)
----------------------------------------
- Collected all changes on the new loader format and fixed the
AREXX port to use these new modules.
- Some minor GUI changes...
Version 3.1 (Sunday, 19-Jan-97 04:41:59)
----------------------------------------
- Forgot to bump pptsupp.library version to 3. Oops.
- PPT now supports OS 39+ pen sharing mechanism. I did this in order
to allow the colorwheel to be opened on the same screen. It's also
a bit nicer. Got an excuse to clean up the screen allocation code,
as well.
- ARGB color rendering is a bit slower, but it actually works now...
Version 3.2 (Sunday, 02-Feb-97 00:34:38)
----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: a hidden frame was opened whenever an effect was applied to it
- Whenever an ARGB image is rendered, the transparent areas are shown
using a checkerboard pattern. Let me know if you like it.
- Bug fix: Close Render -menu item got ghosted sometimes even when there
was a render to be closed
Version 3.3 (Monday, 03-Feb-97 00:28:36)
----------------------------------------
- Added support for different CPU types (PPT can now load the correct
type)

----------------------------------------
- Added GetBackgroundRow() into the support library
Version 3.5 (Tuesday, 11-Feb-97 23:59:27)
-----------------------------------------
- Fixed problem with Window menu checkmarks getting out of
sync. I'd really like to see a proper menuclass for BGUI,
though.
Version 3.6 (Saturday, 22-Feb-97 21:40:28)
------------------------------------------
- Added GetOptions() & PutOptions().
Version 3.7 (Sunday, 23-Feb-97 14:50:40)
----------------------------------------
- Added an Extension system. Now PPT will retain the author & etc.
info on an image. Unfortunately, you can't edit the data just yet,
but it's coming.
- Bug fix: no longer loads old-style loaders, should they exist
- Release A4
Version 3.8 (Friday, 28-Feb-97 23:55:06)
----------------------------------------
- If the initial screen cannot be opened using the current prefs,
PPT will now try a 640x200x4 screen, before actually failing. This way
people whose WB screen takes most of the available CHIP memory can
actually start PPT =). Reported by several people.
Version 3.9 (Monday, 03-Mar-97 01:09:24)
----------------------------------------
- Now also checks if the screen specified in Project/Preferences
could be opened.
- If the screen opening fails, gives now a textual error messge.
Version 3.10 (Wednesday, 05-Mar-97 00:01:14)
--------------------------------------------
- Added Extension editing for strings.
- Release Archimedes-5
Version 3.11 (Tuesday, 11-Mar-97 22:34:32)
------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Save As window can now be closed with the close gadget.
Reported by Arto Huusko.
- UI change: The screen title bar is now rendered (in default mode)
with black on white. You're right, Arto, it does look better =)
- Bug fix: Zoom In did strange stuff if no area was selected. Reported
by Arto Huusko.
Version 3.12 (Wednesday, 12-Mar-97 22:16:00)
--------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Removed some visual artifacts from the frame display
window. Now looks a lot better.
Version 3.13 (Thursday, 13-Mar-97 00:14:09)
-------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: the startup directory is now saved along with other
prefs. You no longer have to start in the data:gfx/Pics directory!
Version 3.14 (Saturday, 15-Mar-97 23:12:44)
-------------------------------------------
- Fixed big bug in gadget handling: I was calling DoGadgetMethod()
with NULL window pointer. To those of you who understood something
about this: yes I know, RTFM.
- Release a6
Version 3.15 (Sunday, 16-Mar-97 13:44:24)
-----------------------------------------
- Extensions/Remove now asks for confirmation
- Minor GUI Changes in the Preferences window

-------------------------------------------
- Added new REXX commands: RENDER,RENDER_TO_FRONT,PPT_TO_FRONT
and PPT_TO_BACK and fixed rendering from AREXX so that it
actually works.
- Fixed some bugs concerning list-handling (thanks to Ian for
explaining them for me)
- Results from AREXX were sometimes discarded, causing problems
with scripts. I wonder why nobody else noticed this...
Version 3.17 (Thursday, 01-May-97 23:07:58)
-------------------------------------------
- No longer brings the rendered image to the front, if the AREXX RENDER
command was used. Use RENDER_TO_FRONT if you want to see the image.
- Parameters for modules are now passed correctly when SAVEFRAMEAS is
used. It was horribly broken before this.
- Save and rendering REXX commands now return proper error messages.
- Possibly fixed a drag&drop problem reported by Patrik Nydensten. It
should not be possible to D&D effect modules at all now...
Version 3.18 (Friday, 02-May-97 14:00:55)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: it was impossible to open Preferences twice if you changed the main
screen. Reported by Patrick Nydensten
Version 3.19 (Friday, 02-May-97 15:39:28)
-----------------------------------------
- CyberGFX support is here!
- A couple of miscallaneous bug fixes
Version 3.20 (Friday, 02-May-97 17:11:28)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: internal frame lists should no longer get out of sync.
I suspect this was the cause of many crashes experienced by testers. I
just hope this works...
Version 3.21 (Tuesday, 06-May-97 00:13:07)
------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: the select box is now clipped properly (though it is now
a bit slower)
- Bug fix: external processes didn't always pass error messages to
REXX correctly
- Several bug fixes concerning the cleanup phase when PPT exits
- Several small bug fixes
- Progress windows are no longer activated when they open, as this
proved to be quite disturbing when there's a REXX script working
in the background
Version 3.22 (Sunday, 11-May-97 16:36:10)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: When a file cannot be opened, the error message is now sent to rexx also.

- Fixed Installer script a bit
Version 3.23 (Tuesday, 13-May-97 00:44:02)

really helps my work =)
- You are now asked to close foreign windows on the PPT screen on exit
Version 3.24 (Thursday, 15-May-97 00:20:29)
-------------------------------------------
- Added new AREXX commands: ASKREQ and SHOWERROR
- Miscallaneous bug fixes.
Version 3.25 (Friday, 16-May-97 00:20:52)
-----------------------------------------
- Minor bug fixes
- Extract.effect fixed - didn't work before
- Release Archimedes-8
Version 3.26 (Tuesday, 27-May-97 22:26:46)
------------------------------------------
- File requester reported a soft error when no file was specified.
Fixed. (reported by Peter Bornhall)
- Startup file was not parsed correctly when PPT was started,
resulting in a wrong Drawer of the file requester. Reported
by Peter Bornhall
Version 3.27 (Tuesday, 03-Jun-97 00:27:43)
------------------------------------------
- Scale.effect now at v1.4: GUI updates are more accurate now,
fixes some small bugs (reported by Gary Nelson), added some presets
to menu.
- Contrast effect is now less rude and actually allows you to execute
it more than once. Thanks to Patrik Nydensten for reporting this.
Version 3.28 (Saturday, 07-Jun-97 21:24:18)
-------------------------------------------
- PPT now heeds image aspect ratios. Several iomodules were fixed
to read and write the correct figures.
- Bug fix: Composite forgot to release the frame to be composited.
- Bug fix: When externals were expecting mouse input from the frame
window, only the first one got through
Version 3.29 (Saturday, 12-Jul-97 00:55:04)
-------------------------------------------
- Changed colormap handling completely. Now they support Alpha channels
as well.
- Added Palette editing to the main UI.
- Some REXX bug fixes
Version 4.0 (Saturday, 12-Jul-97 21:53:54)
------------------------------------------
- Bumped version to 4.0 due to additions in the support library
- Added preview capability. This wasn't actually too easy. Some bugs
still remain, which is why it was not enabled in the release version.
I will need to rewrite a big portion of the code to make this work
the way I want it to work. Maybe in next release?
- Bugfixed the colormap editing.
- Release Archimedes-9
Version 4.1 (Saturday, 30-Aug-97 21:38:19)
------------------------------------------
- Reworked previews a lot. They still don't work, but there may
yet be hope...
- Added resizing handles to the selection area.
- Added new prefs option: External priority.
Version 4.2 (Saturday, 30-Aug-97 22:46:54)
------------------------------------------
- Added Copy and Paste to the Edit menu. Unfortunately, they
do not use the system clipboard yet, but they work quite nicely.
Version 4.3 (Sunday, 31-Aug-97 20:58:19)
----------------------------------------
- Changed completely the way alpha channels are handled - the old way was not very
useful.
- New display preferences option: Draw Alpha. If set, will draw also the alpha
channel, blending the imagery with the background.
- Fixed some internal interfaces so that now it is actually possible to move
the compositing box around in the target image. It is now also easier
to separate from the selection area.
- Forgot to release the clipboard, in case a new Copy command is done... Ooops.
- CyberGraphX preview windows display the alpha channel, if there is one.
Unfortunately, this is quite slow, since I cannot use CGX routines to do
the blending.
Version 4.4 (Saturday, 06-Sep-97 18:03:19)
------------------------------------------
- Preferences/Color Preview now understands about display limitations and does
not allow color previews when they're not possible. Also, it recognises
CyberGFX (since only color previews are available on CGX)
- Bug fix: ARGB images didn't draw properly on the native Amiga screenmodes.
Sorry about that.
Version 4.5 (Sunday, 07-Sep-97 21:11:52)
----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: AskReq() hanged sometimes if there were no user gadgets supplied.
Interestingly enough, this part of the code had been relatively unchanged
for months, but somehow it didn't manifest until now.
- Release Archimedes-11.
Version 4.6 (Monday, 15-Sep-97 10:00:42)
----------------------------------------
- Arexx FRAMEINFO returns now the colorspace information as a string instead of a number
as before.
- Small fixes in several external modules: they didn't Wait() for the F-break signal
correctly.
Version 4.7 (Thursday, 25-Sep-97 12:42:15)
------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Upon loading preferences, PPT would discard information about
the screen depth if the selected screen was a CGX screenmode. To be
more precise, PPT ignored all screen depths > 8. This resulted in the
calculation of a colormap even when it is not necessary. Reported by
Patrik Nydensten.
- Generic preferences-related fixes.
Version 4.8 (Sunday, 28-Sep-97 18:31:40)
----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Window-menu could get out of sync sometimes. Reported by Patrik Nydensten.
- If you are using a 64-256 color screen, then the startup just got a lot faster.
Version 4.9 (Tuesday, 30-Sep-97 19:47:42)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: CPU detection did not work correctly when FPUs were involved. Thanks
for Gary Nelson for pointing this out.
Version 4.10 (Tuesday, 30-Sep-97 20:49:43)
------------------------------------------
- Speeded up AREXX processing a LOT. This was a highly magical task and a triumph
to my amazing optimization skills. I will refuse to comment anything more
on this, because I do not wish to divulge this dark secret.
;-)
Version 4.11 (Sunday, 05-Oct-97 18:42:04)
-----------------------------------------
- Added help capabilities for the external modules
- Bug fix: PPT was using the screen font before it actually opened it. This could
cause crashes, if the font was not already in memory.
- Bug fix: PPT is now more secure against startup failures than before.
Version 4.12 (Monday, 06-Oct-97 21:53:49)
-----------------------------------------
- Speeded up CyberGFX rendering of ARGB images by about a factor of 2.
Version 4.13 (Monday, 06-Oct-97 22:25:52)
-----------------------------------------
- Added the ability to move the selected area. Just press Control and left
mouse button within the selected area.
- Added selection window, from which you both can see the selected area and
you can choose the area exactly. Both of these features were requested
by several people.
Version 4.14 (Monday, 06-Oct-97 22:55:14)
-----------------------------------------
- Minor bugfixes (last additions didn't go that smoothly)
Version 4.15 (Wednesday, 08-Oct-97 23:42:30)
--------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Select window was not always correctly updated.
- Made previews work for two effects: Brightness and Threshold. More to come soon.
You know, this required more changes into the code than it seemed at the first look.
Version 4.16 (Sunday, 19-Oct-97 17:01:34)
-----------------------------------------
- Rewrote AskReq() to handle the previews a bit better: finally they work
they way they're supposed to.
- New prefs item: preview size. Use it to tune to your machine's behaviour
- Bug fix: Preferences window no longer closes and reopens the main screen
on CGX systems when it shouldn't do it.

who reported this.
Version 4.17 (Sunday, 19-Oct-97 17:49:20)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Setting previews off now works.
- Release Archimedes-12
Version 4.18 (Friday, 24-Oct-97 18:34:51)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Most of the external modules had their window titles garbled, thanks to
some late night modifications to the internal support library. Reported by
Brian Jones.
- Bug fix: VM preferences file requester button didn't open the requester. Reported
by several people.
- Bug fix: Screen and font preferences requesters couldn't be reopened if the screen
was changed.
Version 4.19 (Friday, 24-Oct-97 21:28:29)
-----------------------------------------
- Transparency.effect v1.3: Now remembers values from previous use
infotext is aligned properly, added tolerance slider. Reported
and suggested by Brian Jones.
Version 4.20 (Friday, 24-Oct-97 23:25:21)
-----------------------------------------
- Select box was not correctly cleared in all cases. Hope this fixes
it. Reported by several people.
- Added recognition of the display aspect ratio.
Version 4.21 (Sunday, 26-Oct-97 21:09:20)
-----------------------------------------
- Noise.effect was ignoring the X offset. Reported by Patrik Nydensten.
(noise.effect v1.4)

people.
Version 4.22 (Sunday, 26-Oct-97 23:12:33)
-----------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: If a frame was busy, it was possible to hide it but not bring
it back to front again.
Version 4.25 (Friday, 07-Nov-97 22:38:23)
-----------------------------------------
- Composite.effect 1.5: Used to be on a component basis, now
makes decisions more reasonably. As a result "Transparent Black"
is now really black, instead of just zero as before. Also added
a new option, TILE. Check the docs. Suggested by Brian Jones.
- Release Bessel-1
Version 4.26 (Saturday, 29-Nov-97 15:54:07)
-------------------------------------------
- Negative 0.4: Didn't work with ARGB color space.

- Some minor bug fixes
Version 4.30 (Saturday, 06-Dec-97 22:58:13)
-------------------------------------------

colorspace independent and also to have enough resolution.
- Contrast 1.4: Same here. Contrast also sports previews, now.
Version 4.31 (Sunday, 07-Dec-97 20:00:32)
-----------------------------------------
- Gamma 1.4: Uses now floating point values (finally). Also has previews.
Version 4.32 (Monday, 08-Dec-97 20:28:42)
-----------------------------------------

Version 4.39 (Saturday, 21-Feb-98 20:18:08)
-------------------------------------------

I seem to have forgotten...
Version 4.40 (Saturday, 21-Feb-98 20:40:10)
-------------------------------------------
- One more... AddConstant 1.1 now has a preview. Funny how these
become easier to implement when you finally figure out how to do
them...

- Bug fix: no longer locks the main window when previews are in use
Version 4.43 (Saturday, 28-Feb-98 18:07:12)
-------------------------------------------
- Changed the IOModule API a bit, meaning that a) now it's possible
to actually save the rendered image, if it was rendered on a cybergfx
screen and b) I had to rewrite portions of the almost all of the
IO modules. Not fun to do when in fever. Anyway, now it should
work.
- New effect: Bitfield
- Release Bessel-3
Version 4.44 (Sunday, 22-Mar-98 16:49:01)
-----------------------------------------
- Cleaned some module routines and added stuff for PPC modules...
Version 4.45 (Monday, 29-Jun-98 21:46:29)

got badly confused if screen depth was 5.

--------------------------------------------
- Work on TIFF loader: it now loads most common image types

-----------------------------------------

The race condition is now fixed.
- Bug fix: I used FreeVec() on some areas that needed FreePooled().
Oops. Sorry. This may have caused a lot of the crashes related
to Composite and AddAlpha.
- Bug fix: No longer leaks eight bytes per each call to internal
memory pool functions. Should trash a lot less memory, now!
For all of these bugs the thanks go to Valtteri Murto, who loaned
his Amiga for testing. It's amazing how little differences
in the setup can make so many bugs appear...

--------------------------------------------
- Fixed an overflow problem, if the image you loaded was from an original
directory that had more than 40 bytes of length. Duh. Reported by
Michael Bourne.
- PPT crashed if started twice. Added a temporary fix making sure you

- THE API HAS CHANGED! You must remove any modules you had, since they
do not work anymore with V5. For the technically minded people:
PPTBase moved from a5 to a3, since it was causing problems with GCC.
It was a stupid idea to begin with, I admit. Should've done my
research better...
