Creator updates
---------------
<2.00 (last version was 1.42)
removed
2.00
- This is a full rewrite. Most of the old functionality is still there, but
there are a great number of drastic changes and major additions.
2.01
- Bugfix : the ZeriRegister 1.01 module contained a bug that would corrupt
the registration database on removing an entry. It has been replaced by
version 1.02 which is bugfixed.
3.00
- In addition to conversions to an equal or higher number of colours, Creator
can now also convert to a lower number of colours, using very fast
implementations of sophisticated colour quantization and dithering
algorithms, of which the accuracy is user-selectable, subject to memory
limitations.
- StrongARM compatibility ensured. Only a minor change to the ZeriLocal
module was needed.
3.20
- Bugfix : there were problems with conversions to non-8:8:8 pixel types (all
of them Sprite) resulting in wrong palettes and on some occasions hanging
code. Fixed.
- Added 'dithering' conversions to all non-8:8:8 pixel types and all 'fixed
palette' pixel types. All input formats can now be converted to all
available output formats without exceptions.
- Sprite 8 bpp 4:4:4 format with fixed palette is now available as output
format.
- There is no more 'R/G/B scaling' option. Internally, the former
'Discontinuous' scaling is now used throughout, if needed.
- Added option of limiting the number of output image palette colours.
- Changes to JPEG format support :
- The 'next' wimpslot is now restored after running the external JPEG
conversion code.
- Recompiled code with GCC. Reduced source code to bare minimum.
- Added 'Float DCT' load option.
- Added PNG format support, both read and write.
3.21
- Bugfix : the ZeriBuffer 1.00 module contained a small bug. This would
occasionally cause corrupt TIFF output. It has been replaced by version
1.01 which is bugfixed.
- Bugfix : under RISC OS 3.5 onwards, claiming 'overkill' WimpSlots will
eventually eat up RMA space (probably a RISC OS bug). This affected
ZeriArea 1.00, which has been replaced by a bugfixed version 1.01.
3.22
- Added read support for BMP format.
- Fixed PNG and JPG conversion executables to not barf on '/' anymore.
- Added 'fixed' indication to 'Colours' fields to indicate a fixed palette.
3.30
- Rewritten code from BASIC to C++.
- Some minor changes in the user interface.
- Added BMP format write support.
- Improved BMP format read support.
3.31
- Saving JPEG barfed again on filenames containing '/'. Fixed.
