  * Upgrade to FPX version libfpx-1.2.0.14 (reference
    http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10041).

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.

2007-08-07  6.3.5-6 Anthony  <anthony@griffith...>
  * Enabled use of +distort to auto resize destination image to 'bestfit'
    the distorted input image.  This also enabled the use of virtual canvas
    offsets in source and destination images for most distortion methods.

2007-04-09  6.3.3-6 Anthony  <anthony@griffith...>
  * Fixed CoalesceImages() to reset virtual canvas info on second and later
    frames.   Other animation handlers may also need to reset virtual canvas
    sizes to match the first frame, as well.

2007-04-06  6.3.3-6 Anthony  <anthony@griffith...>
  * Addition of a CompositeImages() "layer.c" function to compose two
    separate image lists together (with a virtual canvas offset) in three
    different ways, depending on the size of the lists.
  * A 'hack' for command line use (the two lists separates by the special
    "NULL" image, which is junked) has also been added. Specifically...

    currently behaves just like CompositeImage().

2006-01-06  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * Annotate relative to the image page geometry.
  * Add the -contrast-stretch option.  Its like -normalize but it accepts an
    arguments for the black and white points.

2005-12-30  Cristy  <stentz@image...>

    input image, only the output image (bug report from Anthony).

2005-10-23  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * The display program now shows the actual filename in the display window
    rather than the temporary filename (e.g. image.miff.gz rather than
    /var/tmp/magick-XXa18945).
  * display -remote -quit will cause the remote display program to exit
    (suggested by Anthony).
  * Patched the display program to properly compute the scanline pad for
    X11 visuals 16-bits deep.

2005-10-22  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * ImageMagick no longer reports "too many open files" when montaging
    thousands of images.

  * ThumbnailImage() no longer faults when resources are exhausted.

2005-10-15  Cristy  <stentz@image...>

  * Unable to add an image, at index 0, to a MagickWand that already contains
    images (bug report fromm    O. Watson).

2005-10-14  Cristy  <stentz@image...>
  * IsMagickColorSimiliar() properly distinquishes the green and blue color
    components (bug report from Justin T.).
  * Setting MagickWand's width to less than the width of the rendered text
    causes the "CAPTION:" pseudo-format to seg-fault when read (bug report from
    O. Watson).

    by jon@websuper...).
  * Extend -delay to accept ticks-per-second (e.g. -delay 10x100 is 10 one
    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).
