WarpDTPrefs: - Added alpha channel options for WarpTIFF 45.10. - Enabled tab cycling. - Fixed corruption at end of saved BMP, PCX and PSD prefs files. - GUI code completely reworked (no longer requires the ReActor GUI builder's resource.library from OS3.5/3.9). - Added OS4 and MorphOS PowerPC native versions. - Integrated new picture.datatype feature detection code from the WarpDT engine. WarpTIFF: - Updated with libtiff 4.1.0, zlib 1.2.11 and jpeglib 9d. - Fixed bug in file i/o optimizer, which could cause images with errors in their TIFF directory to fail to load properly. - Added support for 32-bit and 64-bit floating point samples. - Added pure 32-bit RGBA output for images accompanied by an alpha channel (requires a picture.datatype supporting RGBA - e.g. OS4, MorphOS and AfA OS). - Added ALPHA_MODE option to control whether the alpha channel is passed through to picture.datatype, discarded or combined with a background colour. - Added user control of the background colour to use when combining with an alpha channel. - Completely reworked more intelligent detection of features available in differing picture.datatype versions and a more robust detection of alpha channel support (OS 3.1.4 no longer misidentified as alpha aware). - Changed prefs loading routine due to broken dos/ReadArgs() in MorphOS 3.x (RDAF_NOALLOC and RDA_Buffer completely ignored!), which was causing the prefs to not always be read properly. - Minor optimizations and cleanups. - MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9g. - OS4 version and MorphOS AltiVec code recompiled with GCC 8.1.0. - All benchmarks recomputed after the repair of my A1200, with SCSI2SD replacing my SCSI HDD and disabling all debug tools. - Updated Spanish installer. -- Oliver Roberts / @Futaura / www.futaura.co.uk From oliver at futaura.co.uk Sat May 9 19:10:33 2020 From: oliver at futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts) Date: Sat, 9 May 2020 20:10:33 +0100 Subject: [futaura-announce] WarpBMP V45.8, WarpPCX V45.6 + WarpPSD V45.6 released Message-ID: WARPBMP V45.8, WARPPCX V45.6 + WARPPSD V45.6 RELEASED Updated WarpBMP, WarpPCX and WarpPSD datatypes are available for download from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ and also via AmiUpdate or Aminet with the following improvements: - Applications may now configure the datatype settings via a local variable, overriding any global user settings present in ENV:. - Completely reworked more intelligent detection of features available in differing picture.datatype versions. - Changed prefs loading routine due to dos/ReadArgs() on MorphOS not being fully compatible with AmigaOS, which was causing the prefs to not always be read properly. - Replaced usage of old Exec and Dos OS4 functions with the new ones. - Minor optimizations and improvements. - MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9g. - OS4 version recompiled with GCC 8.1.0. - All benchmarks recomputed after the repair of my A1200, with SCSI2SD replacing my SCSI HDD and disabling all debug tools. - Updated Spanish installer. -- Oliver Roberts / @Futaura / www.futaura.co.uk From oliver at futaura.co.uk Mon May 11 20:10:37 2020 From: oliver at futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts) Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 21:10:37 +0100 Subject: [futaura-announce] WarpPNG V45.23 released Message-ID: WARPPNG V45.23 RELEASED A newly updated, faster version of WarpPNG is now available for download from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ and also via AmiUpdate or Aminet with the following improvements: - Relaxed integrity checks to increase performance. Now 15-20% faster on 68k, 5-10% faster on OS4, 7% faster on WarpOS and 5% faster on MorphOS. - Allow images with incorrect CMF bytes to be loaded - such images should really be fixed with pngfix [BUGID 0002]. - Fixed faulty parsing of the background colour option. - Fixed incorrect default background colour reading on WarpOS. - Completely reworked more intelligent detection of features available in differing picture.datatype versions and a more robust detection of alpha channel support (OS 3.1.4 no longer misidentified as alpha aware). - Changed prefs loading routine due to dos/ReadArgs() on MorphOS not being fully compatible with AmigaOS, which was causing the prefs to not always be read properly. -- Oliver Roberts / @Futaura / www.futaura.co.uk From oliver at futaura.co.uk Tue May 12 18:10:35 2020 From: oliver at futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts) Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 19:10:35 +0100 Subject: [futaura-announce] WarpJPEG V45.15 + WarpTIFF V45.11 released Message-ID: WARPJPEG V45.15 + WARPTIFF V45.11 RELEASED Minor updates for WarpJPEG and WarpTIFF, completing the latest round of WarpDT updates, are now available for download from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ and also via AmiUpdate or Aminet with the following improvements. WarpJPEG: - Completely reworked more intelligent detection of features available in differing picture.datatype versions. - Fixed decoding of greyscale images on MorphOS. - Removed some redundant code and reduced memory usage. - Changed prefs loading routine due to dos/ReadArgs() on MorphOS not being fully compatible with AmigaOS, which was causing the prefs to not always be read properly. WarpTIFF: - Increased speed of deflate decoding (5% faster). - Removed some redundant code. - Tweaked prefs loading routine change from previous version to restore performance when not using MorphOS, to match the latest WarpDT engine changes. -- Oliver Roberts / @Futaura / www.futaura.co.uk From oliver at futaura.co.uk Sun May 24 18:52:18 2020 From: oliver at futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts) Date: Sun, 24 May 2020 19:52:18 +0100 Subject: [futaura-announce] WarpWebP V45.1 + WarpDTPrefs V45.11 released Message-ID: WARPWEBP V45.1 + WARPDTPREFS V45.11 RELEASED A new member of the WarpDT family has arrived: WarpWebP.datatype. This is accompanied by an update to WarpDTPrefs which contains the new settings for WarpWebP. Both can be downloaded from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ now and Aminet soon. Lastly, my hosting provider has had e-mail issues the last 2 months which may have meant that you missed all the other WarpDT release announcements that I posted to this list. The issue has been fixed now, so if you've received this message and not any others, be sure to check out all the other WarpDT updates on the website :) -- Oliver Roberts / @Futaura / www.futaura.co.uk
