          set the image alpha channel.
  * Patch for Scanalytics IPLab image format for non 8-bit images
    (contributed by Sean Burke).

2007-11-04  6.3.6-8 Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Remove ctrl-M characters on in various source files.
  * Fix signature for Magick++ averageImages() regression tests for HDRI.
  * Only invoke PerlMagick x11 regression test if DISPLAY variable is set.

2007-11-03  6.3.6-7 Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * MAGICK_ERX_SRCS should be MAGICK_EXR_SRCS in coders/Makefile.am.

2007-11-02  6.3.6-6 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Upgrade to FPX version libfpx-1.2.0.14 (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10041).
  * Modules are searched first in the directories specified by the environment
        variables, and then -- if the desired module is not found -- in the
        compiled-in path.  (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10039).

2007-11-01  6.3.6-5 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Update FPX regression test reference images.
  * Fixed Magick++ compile error for Sun Studio 10 compiler.

2007-10-25  6.3.6-4 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * The -equalize option now respects the -channel option.

2007-10-23  6.3.6-4 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Additional Filters:  Welsh, Parzen, Lagrangian
  * Addition of Cubic filter B,C controls
  * 'verbose' filter plotting output using  -define "filter:verbose"

2007-10-20  6.3.6-3 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Further expandsion and handling of filters with expert options.
    -filter selects from a table of standard filter settings, while
    expert options allow complete selection of filter, windowing, support
    and blurring options.  Includes automatic switch from Sinc to Bessel
    for operators using 2 dimentional cylindrical filter, rather than
    two pass 1 dimentional orthogonal filters.

2007-10-14  6.3.6-3 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Obsolete -support (set filter blur factor)
  * Expandsion to add -set/define filter options

2007-10-12  6.3.6-2 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Least Squares coordinate handling added for -distort methods Affine,
    Perspective, Bilinear.   This allows for more than the minimal number of
    coordinates to be used to 'fit' a distortion function to an image.
    This addition will allow the use of image registration to generate
    panarama overviews and better geographical coordinate correction.
  * Cosolidated the simular methods FlattenImage() and MosaicImage()
    into a new layers function MergeImageLayers() method, adding 'flatten'
    and 'mosaic' layer methods.
  * Addition of another simular layers method 'merge' which 'unlocks' the
    normal flatten/mosaic layer merger from the origin, The resulting image
    will have a virtual canvas of minimal size with an offset. Also images
    with negative offsets will not be clipped by the 'merge' form of the
    command.  This was created for better layering of distorted images, such
    as panarama overlays.
  * Bug fix in handling transparency for EWA resampling.
  * Access to Resize Filter Functions from resize.c (for resample.c)
    with posible future filter sources... Acquire/Destory/Call ResizeFilter()
  * All resize filters added to resampling, but filter handling is incomplete.

2007-10-05  6.3.6-2 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * The box filter no longer produces a black grid when resizing an image
    under Mac OS X.
  * Respect cropbox for PDF with a subimage specification (e.g.
        image.pdf[1-3]).
  * Detect proper PDF bounding box when offsets are negative.

2007-10-02  6.3.6-1 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Speed up the Fx interpreter.
  * Use ULL not ui64 for MinGW 64-bit constants.
  * Call SyncCacheView() instead of SyncImagePixels() in WaveImage().
  * Close all references to a pixel cache on disk before removing the temporary
          file as required under Windows.

2007-09-29  6.3.6-0 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Added Scaling 'derivitives' to -distort Arc, so image arcing is now
    sharp and clear as you approach the center of the distort.
  * Added  " -set option:distort:viewport 'geometry' " special option
    that can be used to override the output image size and offset.
  * Fixed experimental use of -filter and -support in Resampling (more later).
  * Changed order for coordinate arguments in -distort (for later leastsq
    multiple coordinate distortion function fitting)

2007-09-22  6.3.6-0 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Check the API version and quantum depth before loading a coder module or
          image filter (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9780).
  * Add exception to the image filter signature.
  * Get the execution path under Mac OS X.
  * TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS requires a uint32 pointer (magick/compress.c).
  * Fixed memory leak in CloneString() (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9763).
  * Set S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP mode when writing a file in
    CopyDelegateFile().

2007-09-18  6.3.5-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Bug fix for +distort in Perspective, also effected PerspectiveProjection

2007-09-17  6.3.5-10 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
  * Replace all InterpolatePixelColor() calls to use the ResamplePixelColor()
    method instead.
  * Map the display program pan icon window for each oversized image.
  * The ufraw delegate does not like quotes around the output filename.
  * Adjust the sensitivity of a few PerlMagick tests to pass the validation on
    a 64-bit FreeBSD system.
  * The -level option now works properly for colormapped images.
  * Allow Extrapolated blending of images using -blend
       http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/extendedopacity.html

2007-09-12  6.3.5-9 Anthony <anthony@griffith...>
  * Major Addition,  Area Resampling Functions, (scaled interpolation)
    for pixel lookup in Distortion functions.  This improves the look in
    areas of minification enormousally, especially in situations of infinite
    tiling and horizon views.  All virtual pixel methods have been handled
    to minimise computation time involved with area resampling.  To use the
    new function distortions need to be able to determine scaling vectors
    (distortion function derivitives) for correct working.  All
    -distort methods, except Arc, uses scaled area resampling.
  * Improvements to perspective distort method, to include the correct
    differentation between the 'ground' on which the image lies, and the
    'sky', the color of which can be set using the -mattecolor setting
    (as the distortion invalid pixel color). Background color is retains
    for surrounding ground areas. The horizon is also correct anti-aliased
    and transparent colors are also allowed, allowing you to add backdrops
    of gradients and patterns.

    causes the "CAPTION:" pseudo-format to seg-fault when read (bug report from
    O. Watson).

2005-10-12  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Permit embedded \n characters for the caption coder.

2005-09-30  Cristy  <stentz@image...>

    hundredths of a second).  The default is hundredths of a second.
  * Clone the virtual pixel method when cloning the image cache (thanks to
    Anthony for discovering this bug).
  * 'montage rose: -geometry 0 rose.gif' no longer seg faults (bug report by
    Anthony).
  * Compute correct image statistics for grayscale images.
  * Given -crop WxH+X+Y! the image page width and height is set to WxH and
    the image offset has the crop offset subtracted, so the image is relative
    to the new crop/page/canvas area.

2005-09-03  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Eliminate additional pedantic compiler warnings.
  * Bump SONAME version due to binary compatibility break.

  * The info: format respects the -verbose option.
  * Added new -format embedded formatting characters, %P canvas/page size and
    %O image offset on canvas/pag.
  * A centered crop with a precentage noew positions the image correctly on
    the page.
  * New Transparent virtual pixel methods.

    example.
  * Fixed display to go to the proceeding image when its the last image in
    the sequence and <backspace> is pressed.
  * Fixed ConstituteImage() to properly return the opacity when a map of O
    is used rather than A (bug report by magickbugs@picta...).

2005-08-24  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Invert 1-bit min-is-black TIFF images.
  * Fixed small memory leak in SVG coder.
  * Get rid of spurious "unable to find type-ghostscript.xml" message under
    Windows.

  * -fx 'u > .4' no longer generates a parse error.
  * Fixed cropping with a negative page offset.
  * The -radial-blur option can now be controlled with -channel option.
  * Reading the annotation string using the '@' filename prefix, now works for
    standard input .

2005-08-20  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Add the -motion-blur option to simulate motion blur.

2005-08-17  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Restore iCCP chunk when writing PNG images with a color profile.
  * remove halo effect caused by transparent images from special effect
    filters convolve, implode, swirl, and wave.

2005-08-16  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Export the MaxRGB symbol in Magick.pm of PerlMagick.
  * Support CMYK pixels for the implode, swirl, and wave special effects.

2005-08-06  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * resizing a light colored image on a transparent background will now NOT
    produce a incorrect black halo.
  * The experimental  -identify   option has been replaced with info:. This
    special output format will do the same task as the 'identify' command,
    but will allow you to save the result into a seperate file or to
    standard output.  This output format will understand the use of the
    -format setting within the convert command.
  * -label and -draw text will no longer deal with the special escapes chars.
    That is  percent '%' image info formats will nolonger be expanded, or
    '\n' newlines (for multiple line draws) handled.
  * A new -extent  operator.  This is a ultra-fast and simple image size
    changer.  The image data is preserved in the topleft corner of the
    resulting image, but no effort is made to set any form of background
    color, or preserve image data that falls outside the new image size.
    Note -crop is still the prefered operator, but this is appropriate for
    handling very very large, or huge numbers of images.

2005-07-26  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Add the Compare() method to the ImageMagickObject.

2005-07-24  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>

    Damian Put (http://www.overflow.pl/adv/imheapoverflow.txt).
  * Fixed race condition in semaphore implementation (fix suggested by
    Matt Wytock).
  * 16-bit FITS images are now scaled properly (bug report from Ivan aka Detro).

2005-07-04  Chris Madison  <madisonblu@hotma...>
  * Read image rather than ping image for -format %r.

2005-06-20  Glenn Randers-Pehrson <glennrp@glenn...>

  * GetImageTotalInkDensity() returns the total ink density for an image.

2005-05-26  Falcon  <sss@rdw.r...>
  * Patch for support black-channel(CMYK) in MagickGetImageHistogram().
