[Galfar]

Next update of Imaging 0.2x branch will be 0.26.2 (28th December 2008).

Planned stuff at the moment (green is done):

• Compatibility with Delphi 2009 (+ new project files)


• Compatibility with Lazarus 0.9.26


• More canvas functions (AdjustColorLevels, FloodFill, BoundaryFill, Histogram, ...)


• Better support for animated GIFs


• Save PSD images with alpha channel using layers

• Fix FPC Windows progressive JPEG bug


• Changed _LINK_ symbol semantics

Get Tarball of SVN repository.

Interested in something else?

just the compatibility with lazarus 0.9.26, i wait the 0.26.2 to update the ide  ;D

Laz 0.9.26 compatibility parts are already included in Imaging 0.26.0, they are just commented out
and 0.9.24 parts are compiled. You can comment 0.9.24 lines and uncomment 0.9.26 lines to get
Imaging compiled with Laz 0.9.26 (tested and working in revision that was up-to-date in late August).

All required changed are only in ImagingComponents.pas unit, it's few lines that look similar to this:

Code Select Expand


//function GetMimeType: string; override;  // uncomment for Laz 0.9.25 if you get error here
function GetDefaultMimeType: string; override;


If you try it and it won't work in latest Laz revision please let me know.

It work, thank you a lot !!  ;D (tested with nightly build 0.9.27)

Can you acces Imaging's Subversion repository? It's already there.
If not I can upload the files that were changed since 0.26.0.

Great :) I have acces. Thx.

Imaging lib is a best graphics library ever.

Hi,

Can You upload "sub release" of imaginglib 0.26.2 (aka 0.26.1 ;) )? Support for Delphi 2009 is very important for me and for my project progress, I can't waiting...

Please! And thanks...

I second that request. Or if someone explains how to get the required files for this from the SVN repository, I'll do that. But I could use a D2009 graphics library. Thanks.

It's simple, install a svn software as tortoise svn.

create a dir, right click, svn update and enter https://imaginglib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/imaginglib

;D

Thanks. I'd actually done that yesterday, but was expecting Delphi 2009 project files and such, so when they didn't appear, I figured I'd missed a step somewhere. I grabbed the files again and could get the library compiled and the ImgBrowser demo working in Delphi 2009.

Thanks farcodev for directing others to SVN repository.

Lazarus 0.9.26 was finally released so I uncommented the compatibility
code and put updated files to SVN. 

I also added link to GNU Tarball to the first post. That's current revision of SVN repository
in one TAR archive. So if someone can't get SVN working he/she can get
the current Imaging working version this way.
