What's New for FreeImage VB Wrapper

* : fixed
- : removed
! : changed
+ : added

June 30, 2008 - 2.4
* [Carsten Klein] fixed some minor issues in FreeImage_PaintTransparent()

June 06, 2008 - 2.3
+ [Carsten Klein] added new compression flags to the JPEG and PNG plugins
! [Carsten Klein] renamed wrapper function FreeImage_CloneMetadata() to FreeImage_CloneMetadataEx(): now, there is a native function called FreeImage_CloneMetadata().
+ [Carsten Klein] added private and internal function declaration for FreeImage_CloneMetadata() along with it's public Boolean returning wrapper function.
- [Carsten Klein] removed the FreeImage_ColorQuantizeEx() stuff from both functions FreeImage_ConvertColorDepth() and FreeImage_ConvertColorDepthIOP(): removed parameters PaletteSize, ReserveSize and ReservePalette.
- [Carsten Klein] changed declaration of FreeImage_ColorQuantizeEx() to be a internal function private to the wrapper with an 'Int' appendix.
+ [Carsten Klein] added two more VB-friendly public wrapper functions FreeImage_ColorQuantizeEx() and FreeImage_ColorQuantizeExIOP().
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetPalettePtr(): gets the pointer to a specified array of RGBQUADs: intended to be used together with any of the ColorQuantizeEx functions.
! [Carsten Klein] changed constant FREEIMAGE_MINOR_VERSION: set to 11 to match current version 3.11.0

! now FreeImage version 3.11.0

December 14, 2007 - 2.2.1
+ [Carsten Klein] added constants for member 'biCompression' in BITMAPINFOHEADER struct
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetInfoHeaderEx(), which returns a fully populated BITMAPINFOHEADER struct for a bitmap.
* [Carsten Klein] fixed a bug in FreeImage_GetFileTypeFromMemoryEx(): now calls FreeImage_CloseMemory() releasing the hStream to prevent memory leaks.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetColorizedPalette(): returns a colorized greyscale palettte.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_Colorize(): applies a colorized greyscale palettte obtained from FreeImage_GetColorizedPalette() to a bitmap.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_Sepia(): calls FreeImage_Colorize() with proper parameters to apply a so called sepia palette to a bitmap.

December 12, 2007 - 2.2
* [Carsten Klein] Fixed a small bug in FreeImage_PaintTransparent, which now calls function FreeImage_ConvertTo32Bits instead of FreeImage_ConvertTo32Bits2.

November 15, 2007 - 2.1
* [Carsten Klein] adjusted page numbers of the API documentation in FreeImage function declarations to match FreeImage 3.10.0 API documentation
- [Carsten Klein] removed parameter 'bUnloadSource' from function FreeImage_GetOlePictureIcon(): an hIcon should not be destroyed if OleCreatePictureIndirect() is called with fOwn = True.
! [Carsten Klein] refactored FreeImage_GetOlePicture(): now relies on FreeImage_GetBitmap().

November 10, 2007 - 2.0.8
! [Carsten Klein] changed declaration of FreeImage_SetOutputMessage(): now points transparently to the __stdcall version of this function in the library.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_MultigridPoissonSolver().
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_GetTransparentIndex() and FreeImage_SetTransparentIndex().
+ [Carsten Klein] added private and internal function declaraton for FreeImage_AdjustColors() along with it's public Boolean returning wrapper function.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_GetAdjustColorsLookupTable().
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetAdjustColorsLookupTableEx(): this takes a real VB style Byte array ton receive the lookup table created.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_ApplyColorMapping().
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_ApplyColorMappingEx(): this takes a real VB style RGBQUAD array.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaratons for FreeImage_SwapColors() and FreeImage_SwapColorsByLong().
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_ApplyIndexMapping().
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_ApplyIndexMappingEx(): this takes a real VB style Byte array.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaraton for FreeImage_SwapPaletteIndices().

November 05, 2007 - 2.0.7
+ [Carsten Klein] added 4 bit color depth to both function pGetNextColorDepth() and pGetPrevousColorDepth()
- [Carsten Klein] removed member FICF_PREPARE_RESCALE from enumeration FREE_IMAGE_CONVERSION_FLAGS
- [Carsten Klein] removed all references to FICF_PREPARE_RESCALE: Converting color depth before rescaling an image is no longer performed by the wrapper. Since FreeImage now transparently converts color depth on rescaling, doing this in the wrapper is no longer needed.
! [Carsten Klein] refactored wrapper function FreeImage_ConvertColorDepth(): removed case FICF_PREPARE_RESCALE; is now more similar to C# wrapper's version of this function.
! [Carsten Klein] refactored wrapper function FreeImage_SaveEx(): removed case FICF_PREPARE_RESCALE; is now more similar to C# wrapper's version of this function.

September 14, 2007 - 2.0.6
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaration and Boolean wrapper function for FreeImage_PreMultiplyWithAlpha().

July 26, 2007 - 2.0.5
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetBitmap(): returns an HBITMAP created by the CreateDIBSection() function and so has the same color depth as the original DIB.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetBitmapForDevice(): returns an HBITMAP created by the CreateDIBitmap() function and so has the same color depth as the specified reference DC or as the desktop, if the 'hDC' parameter was omitted.
- [Carsten Klein] removed function declaration for GetWindowDC(): this function is no longer used.
* [Carsten Klein] fixed a bug in wrapper function FreeImage_IsExtensionValidForFIF(): string comparison now includes a comma.
* [Carsten Klein] fixed a bug in wrapper function FreeImage_IsFilenameValidForFIF(): string comparison now includes a comma.

July 25, 2007 - 2.0.4
* [Carsten Klein] fixed a bug in function FreeImage_GetPaletteExClone(): now actually returns the palette as RGBQUAD array plus some other minor improvements
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetPaletteExLongClone(): this function returns a VB style Byte array that is only wrapped around FreeImage's pointer to a DIB's transparency table.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetTransparencyTableEx(): this function returns a VB style Byte array that is only wrapped around FreeImage's pointer to a DIB's transparency table.
! [Carsten Klein] changed name of wrapper function FreeImage_GetTransparencyTableEx(): this function is now named FreeImage_GetTransparencyTableExClone(), since it actually returns a clone (deep copy) of an image's transparency table (compare with FreeImage_GetPaletteExClone()).
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_SetPalette(): sets an image's palette through a VB style RGBQUAD array.
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_SetPaletteLong(): sets an image's palette through a VB style Long array.
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaration for CreateDIBsection()
+ [Carsten Klein] added function declaration for DeleteDC()
* [Carsten Klein] fixed a bug in wrapper function FreeImage_CreateFromScreen(): now the memory DC is deleted with the DeleteDC() function and no longer with the DeleteObject() function.

July 05, 2007 - 2.0.3
+ [Carsten Klein] added wrapper function FreeImage_GetFileTypeFromMemoryEx(): more VB friendly version of FreeImage_GetFileTypeFromMemory() which may take an array rather than a FIMEMORY stream.

May 21, 2007 - 2.0.2
! [Carsten Klein] changed constant FREEIMAGE_MINOR_VERSION: set to 10 to match current version 3.10.0
! [Carsten Klein] changed constant FREEIMAGE_RELEASE_SERIAL: set to 0 to match current version 3.10.0
+ [Carsten Klein] added image format constants FIF_EXR, FIF_J2K and FIF_JP2 to enumeration FREE_IMAGE_FORMAT.
+ [Carsten Klein] added tone mapping operator constant FITMO_FATTAL02 to enumeration FREE_IMAGE_TMO.
+ [Carsten Klein] added save option constants J2K_DEFAULT and JP2_DEFAULT for JPEG2000 format.
