- New IFF Modules and Applications - Release Notes
-
- (from most recent to oldest release)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.11 release (September 1993):
-
- Added UWORD maxdisplaydepth(ULONG displayid) to module getdisplay.c
- now use that instead of the constant MAXAMDEPTH. This means if all
- planes cannot be displayed, system will be queried (if V37 or higher)
- to find out what depth CAN be displayed, and that depth will be used.
- This new function is used in module getdisplay.c and app ILBMLoad.c.
- Warning - Now that depth isn't clipped to 8 artificially, deeper
- displays may be opened if a system or system + graphics board
- allows that capability. Keep that in mind, especially if you
- have palette things, etc. which assume a fixed maximum. If you
- can't deal with this, change screen.c maxdisplaydepth() to
- just return MAXAMDEPTH (8).
-
- Added argument BOOL NoCenter to clipit() routine in screen.c
- to disable centering outside of max overscan if ilbm->IFFPFlag
- IFFPF_NOCENTER is set. When centering is disabled, upper left of
- image will be placed at upper left of display clip if screen is
- larger than max overscan for its mode (rather than centering the
- screen around the display clip).
-
- Fixed some compiler warnings on -1 DetailPen/BlockPen by adding
- appropriate casting in modules/screen.c and in several examples.
- corrected CloseClipboard() cast to (struct ClipboardHandle *) in
- parse.c. Removed unused iffp/amiga.h include file.
-
- Fixed queryilbm() in loadilbm.c to only stop on a BODY, not on
- a CMAP or a BODY (CAMG might be after CMAP).
-
- Added to ilbmapp.h IFFPF_NOMONITOR flag for IFFPFlags. This flag
- tells CAMG loading and saving code to remove monitor ID from
- modeid when saving or loading. Useful if program or user wants
- default monitor used.
-
- Note for anyone who wants to use Amiga.lib stdio functions instead
- of compiler stdio functions: define USE_AMIGA_IO in your Makefile
- (or add it to compiler.h) and recompile all of the modules.
-
- Changed all example CTRL-C handling to handle both __SASC and LATTICE
- Bumped all example versions to 39.10
- Changed Makefile.SAS for SAS 6.x and recompiled modules and examples
- Recompiled modules for Manx (iffobj/Manx)
-
- Display executable (in other/) has two new keywords and also fixed
- argument parsing (older version could parse past its args and
- accidentally turn on printing, looping etc.)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.8 release (January 1993):
-
- Fixed bug in the ilbmr.c getcamg() routine which could result in a bad
- modeid if the CAMG contained non-HIRES low word and garbage upper word.
- Bumped all example revisions to 39.8.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.7 release (December 1992):
-
- Just updated the version of bumprev in bin/ (the one with 39.6 archive
- still propagated paths into version strings). Bumped all application
- versions to 39.7. Cleaned up docs a bit. Put V39.7 Display executable
- and icon in other/.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.6 release (December 1992):
-
- Just a recompile to fix version strings of the apps. The old bumprev
- would propagate any path to the revision file into the version string
- application name. New bumprev (in other/) fixes that.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.5 release (November 1992):
-
- Note - 3.0 (V39) Amiga include files and amiga.lib are required to compile
- the modules. Running the examples requires iffparse.library (may be
- found on Workbench 2.0, 2.1, 3.0). All examples should run under 1.3 as
- long as iffparse.library is present. Currently, a free amendment is
- available for developers who have a 1.3 Workbench license which allows
- them to also distribute iffparse.library.
-
- modules/ilbmw.c in putbody, changed bufsize check to compare against
- FileRowBytes (amount being written), not rowBytes
-
- modules/ilbmr.c added GetBitMapAttr/destWidthBytes check
-
- modules/saveilbm.c raised BODYBUF size from 4096 to 5004 (should allow
- saving of bitmaps up to pixel width of 16384)
-
- iffp/ilbm.h got rid of BytesPerRow macro which duplicated RowBytes
- AND conflicted with a system structure member name.
- Changed "BitsPerRow" macro to "RowBits" to match.
- Also unconditionalized extern of GfxBase and IntuitionBase.
-
- iffp/iff.h allow a conditional USE_AMIGA_IO define to cause use of
- Amiga-specific prototypes rather than standard C stdlib.h
- and stdio.h. If you define this, change your link to use
- Amiga startup code like astartup.obj, and to link with
- library amiga.lib first.
- Also added inclusion of exec/libraries.h
-
- apps/all bump revisions to 39.5
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for 39.4 beta developer release (November 1992):
-
- The 39.3 release ilbmr.c modules contained a bug which would cause a black
- (no color) display of any ILBM with the new BMHD.flags CMAPOK bit set.
- This is fixed in 39.4. 39.3 had almost no distribution, but please see
- 39.3 notes for notes on significant changes.
- Changes for version 39.4 (October 1992)
-
- modules/ilbmr.c fix 39.3 bug which would cause black (no color) display
- if new CMAKOK flag was set (would be set by new save code)
-
- apps/all bump revisions to 39.4
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for version 39.3 developer beta release (October 1992)
-
- iffp/ilbm.h define BMHD flag CMAPOK advisory; suggestion for ALPHA
- iffp/ilbmapp.h define flags/variable for BESTFIT, CMAPOK, USERMODE
- modules/ilbmr.c only sniff colors actually used when determining whether
- all colors have been stored shifted
- modules/screen.c add conditional V39 BestFit() code to modefallback
- add support of BESTFIT and USERMODE (explicit mode)
- add code to fall back on depth
- do ScreenToBack() before closing window, screen
-
- modules/getbitmap.c conditionally use AllocBitmap and FreeBitMap
-
- modules/iffpstrings.c modify for new CatComp 39.x output
-
- modules/all use new CatComp 39.x to generate iffp/iffpstrings.h
- no longer have iffpstringids.h (instead, define
- CATCOMP_NUMBERS before including iff headers, except
- in iffpstrings.c (where CATCOMP_ARRAY is defined)
-
- apps/all use appname_rev.h (bumprev) revision files
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes for version 39.1 developer beta release (July 1992)
-
- iffp/ilbm.h define Color32, proto setcolors and new loadcmap
- iffp/ilbmapp.h extend ILBMInfo - recompile if you added variables to end
- modules/ilbmr.c changed getcolors, added setcolors, WARNING: I had to change
- the interface to loadcmap (check if you are calling loadcmap in your
- code)
- modules/getdisplay.c uses new setcolors
- modules/loadilbm.c uses new setcolors
- modules/saveilbm.c conditional code to use GetRGB32
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- have been modified to force the use of (and use) the
- new prefixed Intuition labels for these #defines.
-
- - ilbmw.c was modified to deal with source bitmaps which
- have larger bytes-per-row than normal.
-
- Special notes regarding the previous 37.8 release:
-
- - the screen.c module now checks to see if the opened
- screen is a public screen, and if so, sets the screen's
- status to public before opening a window on it.
-
- - the screen and display closing routines now return
- success or failure so that public screen openers
- can check to make sure that they were able to
- close their display.

-
- The includes files subdirectory (iffp/) may be placed in your
- current directory or your normal include directory.
