JIV 1.51 Final cleanup for release.
JIVDataTypes 1.78 Finally found a bug that caused problems with pictures with
a depth of less than 8 (AllocRaster doesn't clear memory!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.50 Cosmetics.
JIVDataTypes 1.70 Cosmetics.
===============================================================================

===============================================================================
JIV 1.48 Fixed a stupid bug. Very stupid. Believe me.
JIVDataTypes 1.51 Fixed a stupid bug. Very stupid. Believe me.
===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.173 Polling in the PAUSE feature. Ooops. Fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVGIF 1.2 Minor enhancement: if a multi-image GIF (a.k.a.
GIF animation) is corrupted _after_ the first frame, then
JIV will at least attempt to display all previous frames.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.36 JIV sometimes forgot to close files. Oops. Fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.163 Fixed a bug in the TIFF PackBits decoder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.156 Kludged my way around a bug in the REFLECTIONS 3.0
TIFF back-end. At least they promised to fix it in the
next release. ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.35 Cosmetic change.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.34 Minor modification for the "PAUSE" feature.
JIVGFXText 1.16 Minor modification for the "PAUSE" feature.
GFXRender 1.171 Added "PAUSE" feature.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

without additional file arguments).
JIVCore 1.26 Added file requester.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.32 Internal re-design and code cleanup.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.44 Fixed a minor glitch in the 1.43 bug fix.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.31 When you run JIV from the Workbench, you will no longer
need to click on the window close button after JIV has
terminated. The window will close automatically after a
short delay (approx. 2 seconds).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.30 Cosmetic change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.43 New feature: will supply a default colormap if necessary.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.200 MUCH faster when reducing true color to colormapped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.28 Added timing feature.
JIVCore 1.18 Added timing feature.

===============================================================================
JIV 1.27 Added a minor "nag" message for the (unregistered) release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.154 Fixed a cosmetic bug in the Colormap handling.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.26 Re-enabled the TIFF support for the beta release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.152 Code cleanup for release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.151 Finally - a working implementation of TIFF/LZW (compression
type "5"). TIFF/LZW is subtly incompatible with GIF/LZW in
several respects *yuck*. What a mess.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.165 When a screen was closed with an error condition, JIV
was sometimes unable to re-open another screen (symptom:
after a "recoverable" error, no more pictures were
displayed). Fixed.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.22f Prepared a special bug-fixed version for the FreshFish and
Meeting Pearls CDROM releases. This version contains all
the changes as noted in this file EXCEPT THE ENTIRE TIFF
ROUTINES (which are still unstable and largely untested).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.177 The 1.171-bug fix was wrong - there is a valid reason for
that height check. Oops-oops. :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.79 Cosmetic change (added a few pi types).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.25 Cosmetic changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.164 DISPLAY=CYBER now attempts to fall back to 16 bit display
depth if it can't get a 24 bit screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.163 The "ESC" key acts like "q" and "CTRL-C" now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.78 Under certain conditions, DecodeImage() returned a pointer
to memory that had already been freed (causing enforcer-
and mungwall-hits). Fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.171 Fixed a stupid bug in AutoAllocChunks()/CreateChunk()
(attempted to enforce a bogus chunk height limit
[chunkMaxLine] - oops).
===============================================================================
JIV 1.24 Added TIFF support. Three betas (limited circulation).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVTIFF 1.7x A first release for the beta testers (uncompressed TIFF).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.165 Introduced a bug in 1.161: DeleteDescriptor() didn't like
NULL pointers. Fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.162 I think I finally found (and fixed? :->) the Evil(TM) bug
that caused some rather untraceable random crashes. Looks
like I forgot to check for a NULL screen pointer in several
places.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.161 Kludged around a minor bug in the CyberGraphics stuff.
(Cybergraphics seems to be unable to find a ModeID for
very small screens).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVBMP 1.17 Fixed a nasty bug in the OS/2 (as opposed to MS-Windows)
BMP format support. Ooops.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.39 Improved the EHB support.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.38 Now also looks at the CAMG chunk when trying to figure out
non-square pixels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.164 New AutoAddChunks() function.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.161 Fixed a potentially fatal bug in the DeleteDescriptor()
code. When a descriptor was deleted from the middle of a
descriptor list, a pointer was not reset correctly. This
could result in random writes to foreign memory. The bug
was triggered by loading corrupted images (under certain
conditions).
===============================================================================
JIV 1.22 Cosmetic change (shareware notice).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVCore 1.13 Looking for the Picasso-II/screen switching bug. Not found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.160 Looking for the Picasso-II/screen switching bug. Not found,
but I found and fixed a different bug (in the clear-screen-
code, a part that could have crashed the machine but
luckily was very unlikely to be used).
===============================================================================
JIV 1.21 Bumped version number for release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.154 Ooops. 1.149 accidentally swapped the meaning of DELAY
and WAIT. Fixed.
===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.155 Minor optimisations.
GFXRender 1.151 Minor optimisations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.20 DELAY and WAIT were broken. Fixed and enhanced.
GFXRender 1.149 dito.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.153 Revised dithering. Faster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVCore 1.9 Added new AUTO display mode for automatic mode selection.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.19 Cosmetic change.
GFXRender 1.145 dito.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.18 Minor bug fix (image offset for PROGRESS was incorrect).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXCore 1.127 Make sure the color reduction always selects a dark color
for the background. Looks better in most cases. Pictures
that don't need color reduction will retain their palette
unchanged.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVPCX 1.76 Found and fixed a very obscure mungwall hit. (VAR parameter
in inline assembler code caused problems).
===============================================================================
JIVGFXText 1.15 More efficient text display.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.140 Enhanced input handler, accepts "q", "Q" and "CTRL-C" now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.17 Cosmetic changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVPCX 1.47 Some optimisations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVGFXText 1.10 Cosmetic change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TronFFR 1.2 Changed a few defaults (first block=2048, blocksize=16384).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OpenDisplayCyber() behaviour).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVPCX 1.22 Added true-color PCX support.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.15 Fixed an obscure (and harmless) bug in the file handling;
JIV didn't free locks under certain (unlikely) conditions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIV 1.14 Fixed a bug in the status line handling (-> JIV 1.11).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JIVPCX 1.17 Initial (limited) version, handles only 8 bit PCX files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.117 Minor bug fixes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the first few lines of a screen anymore.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.10 Added support for the new CyberGraphics driver.
JIVCore 1.7 dito.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.34 Will attempt to adjust the aspect ratio of interlaced
files if xAspect/yAspect (or xdpi/ydpi) are set correctly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.29 Added support for HAM8 files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.28 Fixed a cosmetic bug in the VERBOSE mode (used to show
"FORM" instead of the FORM type).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and MUCH better.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.4 Bumped version number for beta release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.26 Changes for GFXCore 1.2.
GFXCore 1.2 New histogram/colormap/dithering algorithms for dithering
colormapped (max. 256 colors) pictures. Faster. Better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.23 A2024 mode now uses my own ChunkyToPlanar().
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GFXRender 1.22 Fixed a bug - histograms were only freed on exit, wasting
memory in slide show mode whenever dithering was needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVGFXText 1.1 Added "NATIVE" driver.
GFXRender 1.19 Added "NATIVE" drivers.
JIVCore 1.3 Added "NATIVE" display mode.

===============================================================================
JIV 1.2 Bumped version number
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVPNM 1.5 The PNM header parser was completely broken because of a
compiler/optimizer bug (I forgot to re-test the code after
instructing the compiler to do certain register
optimizations). Sorry. Fixed.
===============================================================================
JIV 1.1 Bumped version number.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVCore 1.2 Boolean tool types were parsed incorrectly. Fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 1.25 Replaced ReadPixelLine8() with my own Planar2Chunky(). It's
faster, and ReadPixelLine8() caused some problems.

with a width of 1024 (or more) pixels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIVIFF 0.122 The IFF/ILBM reader is _much_ faster now.
===============================================================================
JIV 0.84 Removed the table-based JIVRandom module and went back to
the assembler pseudo-random routine. The table-based RND
was only slightly faster but caused the executable to grow
by 16 KBytes. It also caused ugly artefacts in A2024 mode.
