0.14   Thu Jun 10 14:11:22 1999
         - Rewrote most of the logging stuff so that it is now
         possible to remove all logging from the XS part of the
         module.  Also some primitive check of memory usage was
         added. Claes Jacobsson sent in some filters, inverter,
         contrast and a noise filter.

0.15   Mon Jun 14 08:13:29 1999
          - Wrote minor enhancement on the calling syntax list.
          Started on the object interface - added better support
          for quering avaliable filetypes.  Fixed memory leaks in       
          most loaders. New filters from Claes in this version
          are bumpmap, postlevels and mosaic.

0.16    Wed Jun 16 20:54:33 1999
          - Added fixes to the BEGIN and END parts, added writer
          function for the OO interface. Also added basic IPTC 
          reading support for jpegs.  Also a few filters have been
          added to the OO interface.

0.17    Thu Jun 24 11:09:15 1999
          - Added dynamic loading stuff - It's still missing a nice
          global symbol table. This will be fixed in next release.
          also calling the plugins is not all to easy at the moment.


0.18    Mon Jun 28 12:31:33 1999
          - Added global symbol table - plugins now need a symbol
          table pointer in them. When the module is loaded it is
          set to point at the global symbol table. Also some barebones
          Makefile.PL has been made in the dynfilt directory - it works
          on my system - I hope it does on yours.


0.19    Fri Jul  1 15:00:03 1999        
          - Added a way new scaling method for creating easy previews.
          It only uses nearest neighbor, so it's doesn't look very nice
          but it may be better for applications like remote sensing.

0.20    Mon Jul  5 10:15:37 1999
          - Added and rewrote documentation.

0.21    Mon Jul  6 19:15:37 1999
          - Fixed a bug in the scaling routine - it wasn't
          handling 0< cases.

0.22    Sat Oct  9 07:04:14 1999
          - Added a new method to write gif images - now 
          it is possible to have a part of a palette fixed.
          this is very usefull if one needs to make sure that
          some color like white is in the pallete.  This method
          also allows some ditherding and gives better colormap
          than the mediancut from the gif libraries.  It does
          need much more cpu power though.  Hopefully later versions
          will be faster.

0.23    **************** Internal release only
          - Fixed the %instances bug - caused ALL memory to be leaked.
          Added real noise function - need feedback on how it should
          be used. Also box(), and polyline are now in place.  Polygon
          is missing but antialiased line drawing with integer endpoints are
          done but should be replaced with a version that can have 
          floating point endvalues. Two noise filters addded.

0.24    **************** Internal release only
          - Converted i_color into an object from a reference, so now it's
        giving an object instead of a void ptr or an integer or something.

0.25    **************** Internal release only
          - Added basic Truetype functionality - still needs a rewrite
        to be decent. Currently it's a port of a demo program that
        uses an awful amount of global variables and there is much IO since
        no caching of glyphs is done.

0.26    Tue Nov 23 03:57:00 1999 > Development release <
          - Added transformations so that an image can be wrapped.
        To achive decent speed a C based stackmachine is included. As a result
        transformations need to be specified in rpn (postfix) notation. It
        also can use the Affix::Infix2Postfix class to do the conversion for it.

0.27    Tue Dec 28 03:57:00 1999 > CPAN release <
          - This is a bugfix version mostly, thanks to claes for pointing
        out the problems - fixed palette saving wasn't working correctly after
        version 0.24 - rather surprised this didn't crash everything.
        Also fixed that for t1 fonts the bounding box wasn't being reported 
        unless the font had been used before.  This is either a bug in t1lib
        or a mistake in it's documentation.  Another lingering bug since 0.24
        what that $img->box() wasn't creating it's default color properly.
        Added i_tt_text() method and more debuging to the truetype routines.            
        truetype testcase fixed and old debug rubish removed.

0.28    Tue Jan  4 05:25:58 2000 > CPAN release <
          - Only fixes to truetype test and transformation tests.
        Thanks to schinder of cpan testers for testing and reporting.

0.29    Tue Jan  4 21:49:57 2000 > CPAN release <
          - fixes to get rid of warnings under pre 5.005, 
        Fixed broken preproccessor directives to work on non gnu
        compilers.  Fixed DSO test on HPUX - both code errors and
        HPUX creates .sl instead of .so so the tests were failing.

0.30    Sun Jan  7 05:00:06 2000 > Bunch of Alpha releases <
          - An attempt to automate installation.

0.31    Sat Jan 15 03:58:29 2000 > Fixes fixes fixes <
          - Fixed a bug pointed out by Leolo where loading gifs
        skips the first line of the imageload() has been
        by read() - for now load is an alias for read.  It will
        be removed in the future.  Also, fixes dynamic loading on
        systems that prepend an underscore to symbols.  At the present
        the only system that I know of that needs this is OpenBSD.
        BUT YOU MUST RECOMPILE ALL OF YOUR OLD MODULES AGAINST THIS BUILD.
        Added getchannels() method ( How did I manage to delay this
        untill now ).  Some document changes but nothing substantial.
        Also fixed the png read/write routines to handle all colorspaces
        and images with alpha information.  Also now it's possible to 
        have Imager guess the format of the files to load or save 
        when passing files to read or save from the filename.
        Also all of the tests except dynamic loading now pass on OS/2.
