- Rev 2.27
- + Initial beta test release.
-
- Rev 2.28/227a
- + Fixed core dumps on Sun's and cmap screw up on Sun3's.
-
- Rev 2.29
- + removed big endian dependencies in code.
- + added support for IFF type l (small L not 1) anims.
- + redid options to make them more flexible.
- + GIF and TXT anims use all cmaps found. If a cmap is
- the same as the current cmap, it isn't changed.
- + Support for PseudoColor displays with less than 256 cmap
- entries put in but not tested.
- + Groundwork for TrueColor support put in, but not fully there yet.
- (finally got a TrueColor in my office, so that will help.)
- + added option to prevent window resizing.
- + added start,stop and single step keys while anim is running.
- + added reverse direction key. Most anims are meant to be played
- backwards do to compression schemes. But if anim if buffered
- 1st with optimizations off, then it should work okay. Currently,
- only goes backwards with in an anim file.
- + added update option that only affects single stepping.
- Basically with this option on and single stepping, xanim will
- move forward until the image gets changed on the screen. Useful
- if you don't want to treat a cmap change as a step.
- + removed Xt calls from signal handler routine.
- + codes getting cleaner and more commented but still a ways to go.
-
- Rev 2.29.1 (enough features added to prove useful but still a ways to go.)
- + some support for GIF89 anim extension blocks(not robust yet)
- + support for new FLI chunk types 4 and 7. (FLC ?)
- + improved single step code so that anim stops with key press
- instead of showing one more frame 1st.
- + xanim will try to remap each gif file into previous colormaps
- in an attempt to minimize color flashing.(Need to add luma
- sorting when new colormap is needed).
- + fixed bug in FLI color chunk code that effected color chunks
- of more than one packet.
- + fixed FLI COPY chunk bug.
- + internal structure is still changing rapidly.
-
- Rev 2.29.2
- + added luminance sorting for GIFs colormaps to minimize cmap
- flickering.
- + added pixmap options to speed up X11 performance.
- + fixed bug in size optimizations in FLI type 7 chunks.
- + fixed bug that effected Amiga anims with nonstandard sized
- ANHD chunks.
- + redid cmap handling of IFF cmaps that cleared up some
- inconsistencies.
- + fixed bug in +i option with gifs or buffered anim chunks.
-
- Rev 2.29.3
- + experimented with cmaps. aborted.
-
- Rev 2.29.4
- + officially support True Color for GIF87s,FLIs,IFFs.
-
- Rev 2.29.5
- + added 1 bit Monochrome support for GIF87s,GIF89s,FLIs,IFFs.
- + added True Color support for GIF89s and HAM IFFs.
- + fixed GIF unlacing bug.
- + consolidated a lot of routines and redid internal structure
- to better handle different display types.
- + allow default condition of flags to be specified at compile time.
- see xanim_config.h
- + fixed bug in command line parser. Affected d,f,j,l flags that
- weren't immediately after a + or -.
- + fixed bug in luma sorting that caused incorrect colors to be
- displayed.
- + Added options to turn luma sorting on or off.
- + Added cmap_try_to_1st options. This tries fitting each new cmap
- into the previous one. (see xanim.readme for more info).
- + Added cmap_map_to_1st options. This forcibly maps each new cmap
- into the 1st one. (see xanim.readme for more info).
- + fixed up interlace mode.
-
- Rev 2.29.6
- + fixed artificial limitation on number of files(was 50).
- this was an oversight.
- + changed autoincrements on casts(ex: *( (ULONG *)(ptr)) )++ )
- because it's not supported(or legal) on some compilers.
-
- Rev 2.29.7
- + More robust support for .FLC files.
- + Added support for .DL files.
-
- Current TODOs
-
- + Finish up JFIF/JPG support. Need to clean it up and work
- on multiple images per file before including it.
- + add ppm and IFF24 support.
- + add color quantizing support and dithering, so jpg, ppm and IFF24
- can be displayed on other display types.
- + nice_cmap option to use current installed cmap instead of
- installing a new one.(in other words, play nice.)
- + add support for StaticColor and StaticGray > 1 bit.
- + image packing option for images less than 8 bits.
- + cmap focus option during color cycling.
- + color cycling during animations, instead of with only
- still images(some IFF color cycle at the same time they are
- displaying frames).
- + put animaton name in display window.
- + gamma correction
- + look into color cycling on Direct Color visuals.
- + add an Ordered Dithering option to minimize a delta's effect
- on the rest of the image.
- + remote control for mouse(rew,fwd,play,stop,etc).
-
- Known BUGS
- + keyboard input on sparcs doesn't work properly under
- OpenWindows 2.0. It seems to work okay under 3.0.
- + color map handling needs to improved to only affect the cmap
- entries that need to be used. This has improved but needs
- a ways to go.
- + need to add dynamic allocation for internal structure ACTIONS.
