- History:
-
- V43.5 (20.10.96) : - added HAM6/8 support
- - now even with picture.datatype V43 it is
- possible to use the internal dithering methods
- optionally
- - completely rewrote preferences and added
- more optional settings
- - to continue using it in V43 24 Bit mode,
- you now have rework your preferences as follows:
- - Dither mode: None
- - V43 Mode: 24 Bit
- - fixed bug in prefs program, which popped up an
- empty message requester and/or produced an
- enforcer hit, when leaving
- (-> Martin Sprenger)
- - removed "Fastest" option - it's just the
- same as "Fast"
- - slow (well) quantization does not work with
- ordered dithering (instead turns it to floyd-
- steinberg dithering), thus now disabled/overridden
- for that case (also in the prefs program)
- - etc.
-
- V43.4 (18.10.96) : - in V43 mode (with installed picdt V43),
- grayscaled JPEGs would not have been read
- (-> Kristian Phillips)
- - updated Prefs doc file
-
- V43.3 (6.10.96) : - moved Prefs from ENV:akJFIF.cfg to
- ENV:Datatypes/akJFIF.prefs - respectively ENVARC:
- (-> Swen K. Stullich)
- - added optional progress bar percentage display
- (default is "on")
- - slightly fixed ModeID generation.
- Please use SetPatch 43.5 for best results on
- OS 3.0 systems
- - changed distribution conditions: when being
- "licensed" by commercial or Shareware software
- by sending me a free copy, users of that software
- need no longer pay the Datatype shareware fee
-
- V43.2 (28.9.96) : - upgraded to V6a sources, since some people
- seem to be so "version fanatic", that it
- doesn't matter, whether an upgrade actually
- makes any sense for our uses %-)
-
- V43.1 (17.9.96) : - added picture.datatype V43 support,
- so that 24 Bit output can be done
- - added akJFIF.cfg file support, so
- that settings may be done
- (speed, dithering, etc.)
- - added Prefs program with GUI for
- changing settings
- - and more
-
- Thanks to Brad Avery, Erik Magnusson
- and Matthias Kraft for suggestions.
-
- V40.1 (2.9.96) : - first release
- - not yet with picture.datatype V43 support
- and not yet with any preferences options
