Release Notes
- Version 0.7.6
- Rotation of monochrome images is now supported.
- Rotation operations now all commute. (Before clockwise and
counter-clockwise rotations were not exactly opposite for the case
when the window was not square.
- Version 0.7.5
- You can now change the page from the view menu.
- Page-turning buttons (and menu entries) are now disabled
when they would have no effect.
- Fixed spelling of "What's this."
- Layer drop-down list is now hidden for .tiff files.
- Layer is no longer offerred as an option when saving a
.tiff file as .bmp.
- Layers can now be selected from the View->Layer menu.
- Version 0.7.4
- Rotation now keeps the portion of the image you are viewing
on the screen.
- Version 0.7.3
- Fixed a bunch of rotation-related bugs. Save as .bmp, copying to
clipboard, and printing all work properly now.
- Version 0.7.2
- Rotation is now supported, although some things do not work properly
when a document is rotated.
- Version 0.7.1
- Fixed bug that was causing some zoomed-out monochrome images not to be
rendered from the cached version when they should be.
- Version 0.7.0
- Changed default cache sizes from 20 to 25 meg. This means that
by default, a 24-bit color, 300 dpi 8.5"x11" image will be cached at
100% zoom.
- Fixed black and white tiff printing.
- Version 0.6.22
- Added support for tiff files. It is a bit slow, not thoroughly
tested, and there are some known bugs, but in general it seems to work.
- Save as .bmp now suggests a file name based on the name of the tfx
(or tiff) file you are currently viewing.
- Save as .bmp now refreshes image before converting to make things
look nicer.
- Synched version number on ocx with version number on app. This
should make things clearer for now.
- Version 0.6.21
- hhctrl.ocx removed from install package. This may break things on
NT. hhctrl.ocx should come standard with Win2k and XP though.
- Version 0.6.20
- mshtml.tlb was removed from the distribution package. The goal is to
fix the uselss warning that it seems to produce on some people's machines.
- At some point release notes got out of sync with version. I have move
both ahead to 20 to make sure there are in sync again.
- It turns out that some tiff files can be viewed with our viewer, so we
have added "*.tif" and "*.tiff" as possible file types to open.
- Added help pages for conversion utility. Also updated documentation on
menus.
- Version 0.6.17
- Open dialog box now calls .tfx files "Silx" instead of TIFF-FX.
- Encoder can now be run from menu.
- Version 0.6.17
- Selectors are now cached more agressively than their corresponding color
layers.
- Added access/short-cut keys to many of the menu entries. The two that
people are most likely to notice are ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-p to print.
- Fixed bug where copying to clipboard ended up in black and white.
- Version 0.6.16
- Fixed drag and drop of files onto program icon.
- Fixed bug where you could not cancel when saving as .bmp file.
- Version 0.6.15
- Fixed some cosmetic issues involving colors of buttons being
incorrect.
- Can now decode Tfx with color tokens.
- Color tokens layer is now rendered in bands to reduce memory usage.
- Page up, page down, home, and end now work properly in one-page mode.
- Version 0.6.14
- Fixed .DLL versioning bug.
- Corrected company name in version string.
- We do not need to convert dgp images to pixr after decoding jbig2,
which save times and memory.
- Revoved useless GdiPrinter module.
- Version 0.6.13
- Pass-through printing now supported, although only for entire files.
- TFX with color tokens are now viewable.
- Version 0.6.12
- Fixed layer list in save as .bmp so that it updates properly.
- You can no longer type in the layer list in save as .bmp screen.
- Version 0.6.11
- Fixed a background colors of various widgets to make things
consistant.
- Fixed bug that caused black and white images to crash in some cases.
This bug also caused black and white images to be clipped when zoomed
way in.
- Fixed several cases in help where link colors were not consistent
with the color scheme.
- Save Page as .bmp layer selection is no longer hard-coded to three
layers.
- Version 0.6.10
- Options boxes now come up centered on their owner.
- Document is now refreshed before printing. This makes things look
a little nicer while printing big files.
- Caption is now changed during printing to reflect the fact SilxScreen
is printing.
- The color depth of the printer is now checked. If it is 8 bits or less
the color is dithered to black and white by SilxScreen. The printer is then
sent a black and white image. This dramatically improves the print time
for greyscale and color documents on monochrome printers. Note that some
color printers improperly report their color depth. What this
will end up meaning is that some color printers will have black and white
printouts. There is a hack in the applicaiton to properly recognize the
Xerox color printer guava (a Xerox Document Centre CS 50 PS.)
- Version 0.6.9
- Fixed a bug that allowed you to change pages by panning in
single-page mode.
- Added rotation buttons to the toolbar. They don't do anyting
yet though.
- Version 0.6.8
- Fixed ungraceful crash when attempting to open a non-Silx
file.
- Read decode parameters from file so that we can set the correct
limits on L,a and b when we convert from Lab to RGB
- Version 0.6.7
- Cosmetic changes to tools/options diaglog box.
- Fixed bug where changing options changed the background
color to black if the color was not explicitly chagned.
- Fixed bug where cancel button in color options dialog
did not function properly.
- Fixed a bug where full-page caching was not caching
in some cases where it should have been.
- Version 0.6.6
- Fixed .bmp file generation alignment bug. This was causing the
cyan and magenta edges around black letters.
- Forced .bmp output to be bottom-up instead of top-down so that
most Windows apps can now now view it. (The should have worked
before, but mnay Windows apps don't support top-down.)
- Changed path of help file from absolute to relative so that
build should work better on other machines.
- Version 0.6.5
- Support for ITULAB color spaces.
- Version 0.6.4
- Fixed crash involving help. This appears to occur if you
build the help without Visual Studio SP 5.
- Added "Save Page as .bmp..." There is no help for this yet.
- Alignment errors in recombination of layers fixed.
- Slight change to large version of document icon.
- Fixed off-by-one error for greyscale images.
- File open dialog now requires that the file exists. This
Helps to fix many of a general class of bugs where SilxScreen
crashes when non-existant files are opened.
- Version 0.6.3
- Added "Print Current Layer..." option.
- Changed ActiveX control printing interface.
- SilxScreen can now decode tfx files with background resolution
any times of selector resolution( in the past it has to be power
of 2 times). Code affected --- tiffArch.
- Fixed the bug in libjbig2 that fails to decode certain jbig2 streams.
- Version 0.6.2
- GDI Printing now actually works. It has not been thoroughly QAd, but
it seems to print to both color and monochrome printers. Page ranges
are supported.
- Version 0.6.1
- Implemented caching for zoomed in images.
- Added ReleaseNotes.htm to the SilxScreen.ocx Visual Studio project for
easy access.
- Rearranged about box to better display added information.
- Version 0.6.0
- Added "..." to menu options that open new windows.
- Added a "File/Print... dialog" .
- You now can view color tfx files encoded from scanned source. The tokens are
rendered in black and white for now.
- Fixed a memory leak.
- Fixed bug that caused incorrect monochrome output between 50% and 100% zoom.
- Cleaned up borders and spacing in options dialog box.
- Added "Exit" to file menu.
- Added .dll version information to About box and supporting infrastructure to
SilxScreen.ocx.
- Version 0.5.34
- Fixed background so that it is a single color. (Bug introduced in 0.5.33.)
- Added option to change background color. (This seems necessary because
images may be the same color as any background we choose.)
- Made options dialog box modal.
- Changed border in options dialog box.
- Version 0.5.33
- Added layer viewing support.
- Removed "What's this? help" button from the toolbar. You can still get at
it from the help menu.
- There is no shadow in one-page mode.
- Panning and scrolling in one-page mode stops you at the exact edge. This
was (mostly) accomplished by changing the definitions of the modal height and
modal width in one-page mode.
- Because of the above changes, fit-to-width was modified. In one page mode,
fit to width fits the page exactly in the window. In continuous mode, it shows
the edge.
- The zoom and selection box was changed so that it will show up on any color
background. This was acomplished by giving it a 3D border.
- Version 0.5.32
- Changed link color scheme in help web pages.
- Fixed background color error from previous build!
- Version 0.5.31
- Changed "Inc." to "Incorporated" on all pages at request of Communications.
- Changed centering so that it is done by the vb app.
- Scroll bars don't change pages in one-page mode anymore.
- Made some improvements to the implementation of zooming. Zooming is now more
consistant. Also, began fixing the interface to the control There are still issues.
- Version 0.5.30
- Added this "Release Notes" page to the help.
- Re-added PARC logo to the about box. (It had been lost because
AboutBox.frx had been checked-in as ASCII.)
- Fixed blinking scrollbars problem. Apparently so long as they have the
focus, they will blink. By setting the TabStop property to False, they
nolonger blink.
- Fixed most of the issues caused by having the document centered
horizontally in the window. In most cases now using the zoom tool
works properly as does copying a selection to the clipboard. However,
if you maximize the window, there are still errors because the image's
position is not updated to reflect the fact it has been centered.
It is drawn on the screen correctly, but GetXPosition() and GetYPosition()
return incorrect values messing up the selection code.
