| |
| See the project site for details and sample code. |

| http://commons.apache.org/sanselan/ |
| |
| |
| Version History: |
| ---------------- |
| |
| Release 0.98 |
| ------------ |
| * SANSELAN-44 - JpegImageMetadata getEXIFThumbnail may raise a null pointer exception |
| * Fixed a problem in the metadata example code not using exact matching for GPS values. |
| * Fixed a possible NPE in Sanselan.getICCProfile pointed out by Jon Weygandt. |
| * Fixed a bug in which gifs have incorrect size information in the the Logical Screen Descriptor. |
| This appears to be a bug in how Microsoft Office writes gifs. |
| The Image Descriptor has the correct value. |
| * Added accessor methods for a number of ImageInfo properties. |
| * Applied patch contributed by Nicolas Richeton, adding getEXIFThumbnailSize() and getEXIFThumbnailData() |
| methods to JpegImageMetadata. |
| * Fixed a couple of platform-dependent paths in the tests. |
| * Constant-ized the magic numbers used when guessing formats. |
| * Added a test for the format guessing. |
| * Improvements to ICO parsing and support for PNG images in ICO files. |
| * Added support for the ICNS icon format. |
| * Added support for the PCX and DCX image formats. |
| * Improvements to BMP parsing. |
| * Added support for the WBMP format. |
| * Added support for reading simple baseline YCbCr JPEG images. |
| * Added support for XBM and XPM images. |
| * SANSELAN-54 - TIFF float and double values are written in the wrong byteorder. |
| * SANSELAN-52 - fixed PNG transparency in getImageInfo(). |
| * SANSELAN-13, SANSELAN-47, SANSELAN-55, others - made TIFF tag parsing a lot |
| more rigorous, allowing EXIF to be read even from very corrupt files. |
| * Added the ability to read comments from a JPEG file using getImageInfo(). |
| * Added support for compression=2 TIFF images. |
| * SANSELAN-46 - allowed all Sanselan tests to pass. |
| * SANSELAN-59 - deleted confusing redefinition of some constants. |
| * Altered TIFF tag searching to do an exact directory match when possible. |
| * SANSELAN-48 - added support for reading and writing CCITT Modified Huffman, Group 3 and Group 4 images. |
| * SANSELAN-31 - added a high level type-safe API for reading and writing EXIF fields. |
| * SANSELAN-25 - added support for the RGBE (Radiance HDR) image format. |
| |
| Release 0.97 |
| ------------ |
| |
| * Rewrote the info.txt files for many images in the sample image library to clarify contribution to project. |
| * Removed the images from the www.wpclipart.com Public Domain library. |
| * Improved the examples illustrating how to change EXIF metadata. |
| * Applied a patch from Niall Pemberton around jdk1.5 compatibility: |
| """ |
| Sanselan claims JDK 1.4 compatibility, but a JDK 1.5 method (Class's getSimpleName() [1]) has been used in JpegRewriter |
| """ |
| * Applied a "Build Improvements" patch from Niall Pemberton: |
| """ |
| I took a look at the propsed 0.96 relelase and have some suggestions to improve the build: |
| * Add standard manifest entries to jar |
| * Lock down version numbers for maven compiler, surefire and javadoc plugins |
| * generate sources jar for the release |
| * include the RELEASE-NOTES in the binary distribution |
| * include NOTICE/LICENSE files in the javadoc jar |
| """ |
| |
| Release 0.96 |
| ------------ |
| |
| * Updated KEYS file. |
| * Added more unit tests around BMP. |
| * Added more images to the test image suite. |
| * Fixed a bug where errors were being wrongly logged to System.out. |
| * Moved the example code into the test source directory, to comply with Maven's standard project layout. |
| * Added a couple of images to the sample image library that demonstrate a couple variations on Photoshop/IPTC data. |
| * Fixed a small bug in the IPTC constants introduced while cleaning up the constants. |
| * Started shift towards moving field-level parsing into BinaryInputStream and BinaryOutputStream. |
| * Fixed a png unit test that used a piece of Java 1.6 syntax. |
| * Added unit tests around the new IPTC functionality. |
| * Added IPTC remove/update/insert functionality. |
| * Rewrote the IPTC parsing support. |
| * Added improved support for reading and writing iTXt, tEXt, zTXt Png chunks. |
| Added a unit test that demonstrates the feature. |
| * Found a new regression wherein DeflaterOutputStream needs to be closed. |
| * Added the .tar.bz2 distributions back into the maven assembly descriptors. |
| * Moved the example/sample code to a new top-level source folder, "example." |
| * Replaced dependency on java.util.zip.DeflaterOutputStream, which is only available in Java 1.6. |
| * Added a unit test around reading and writing images in every format. |
| * We now sort some (but not all) GIF color tables. |
| * Applied the BMP "buffer flushing" bug to the PBM reading and writing code. |
| * Fixed a regression around flushing the bit buffer when writing BMPs with very small palettes. |
| * Removed assumption about DataBuffer type when reading BMPs. |
| * When writing a GIF, we now always include a Graphic Control Extension block, even if its not necessary. |
| * We are more defensive about missing GCEs. |
| * Lastly, we now set a minimum bound on initial code sizes for LZW-compressed Gif image data. |
| * Found a regression in writing TIFFs around strip offsets being properly updated. Not a LZW issue after all. |
| Added a few unit tests around this issue. |
| see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-6 |
| * Added ability to remove and update XMP XML in existing JPEG files. |
| * Added ability to embed XMP XML when writing the following formats: GIF, PNG, TIFF. |
| * Improved handling of tEXt and zTXt PNG text blocks. |
| * Added XMP XML extraction for the following formats: GIF (untested), JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PSD. |
| * Added RELEASE_NOTES file (this file). |
| * Added Apache license header to bin.xml and src.xml Maven assembly descriptors. |
| * Added Javadocs to the binary distribution |
| |
| |
