ChangeLog

List of changes in each version

v1.5

• Add a VideoWriter implementation which can be used to save images in an avi container encoded as mjpeg

v1.4

• Add new function ImageConverter::PreAllocateConversion which can be used to pre-allocate the internal buffer pools of the converter in order to save time on the first conversion
• Add new function Binning::ExpectedOutputSize which can be used to calculate the output size after binning of a given input size and pixelformat
• New CMake packages for both windows and linux, which now take care of adding their respective include directories
• Add new CMake function ids_peak_ipl_deploy to take care of copying dependent files(i.e. DLL's) into your targets output directory
• Add corresponding function ids_peak_ipl_dotnet_deploy when using dotnet
• Add the Binning algorithm for mono, bayer, some color and RGB10p32 images
• Fix HotpixelCorrection algorithms not working on the borders of an image
• Fix ImageWriter saving 10 Bit formats, although not supported, resulting in a broken bmp file with wrong colors
• Fix an issue with user defined hotpixels
• Fix images converted with Image::ConvertTo not freed when leaving the scope
• Fix images cloned with Image::Clone not freed when leaving the scope
• Fix images converted with Image::ConvertTo taking up 5 times more memory than necessary
• Fix images cloned with Image::Clone taking up 5 times more memory than necessary
• Breaking changes
  • Due to previously mentioned fixes, the calls to Image::ConvertTo and Image::Clone are now allocating memory on every use, causing additional overhead and will take more time. Users are advised to construct an ImageConverter which keeps internal memory pools.

v1.3.2

• Fix ColorCorrector crashing application when used on proccessors, which do not support AVX instructions.
• Add the Gain algorithm for mono and bayer images
• Add method ImageConverter::SupportedOutputPixelFormatNames to .NET binding
• Add BufferTooSmallException for Image::ConvertTo and ImageConverter::Convert when providing an output buffer that is too small

v1.3.1

• Fix issues regarding peak_dynamic_loader.h
• Fix problem with ImageTransformer::RotateInPlace throwing exception when passing raw image buffers
• Add color correction support for pixel formats RGB10p32, RGB10 and RGB12
• Add gamma support for RGB10p32
• Fix breaking change: Add backwards compatibility for stdcall symbols

v1.3

• Add ConversionMode::Classic
• Add the GammaCorrector algorithm
• Fix ImageReader::Read() for invalid pixelformat not throwing an exception
• Fix problem with reading a raw image interpreted as a different possible pixelformat
• Add option for dynamic loading of shared library
• Add fixed ordinal numbers in Windows DLL, for future ABI compatibility
• Breaking changes
  • Change calling convention of the C interface functions from stdcall to cdecl.

v1.2

• Add Python binding
• Add methods for image rotation in 90° steps
  • ImageTransformer::Rotate()
  • ImageTransformer::RotateInPlace()
• Improve performance of BayerGR debayering
• Rework internal buffer management to more efficiently free unused buffers
• Fix possible memory leaks in PNG and JPEG related functions
• Fix PNG IO functions for 10-bit and 12-bit pixel formats
• Improve stability and error safety
• Improve Doxygen documentation
• Breaking changes
  • Move the .NET binding libraries to the newly introduced installation folder for bindings
  • Make PEAK_IPL_Library_GetVersionSubminor return the correct value
  • Make the non-default Image constructors reject creating images with a width or height of 0
  • Make Image::Clone() const
  • Make all functions which do not support packed pixel formats throw ImageFormatNotSupportedException
  • Throw exception on BGRa <-> RGBa conversion

v1.1

• Add .NET binding
• Add ColorCorrector algorithm
• Major performance improvement for various algorithms
• Breaking changes
  • Rename mirroring methods to reduce misunderstandings
    • MirrorVertical() to ImageTransformer::MirrorLeftRight()
    • MirrorHorizontal() to ImageTransformer::MirrorUpDown()
  • Rename PEAK_IPL_Library_GetVersionPatch() to PEAK_IPL_Library_GetVersionSubminor()
  • Rework the C interface in respect to consistency
• Various Bugfixes

v1.0

• Initial release
