Homepage Temporarily Outdated

Currently all the new Imaging development happens here:

https://github.com/galfar/imaginglib

This homepage will eventually be reworked and updated.

4th July 2012

Repository URLs Changed

Imaging's source code repositories (Mercurial and SubVersion) hosted at SourceForge have new URLs now due to SourceForge's infrasctructure changes. The old ones will still work for some time but there won't be any new commits.

New URLs:

  • Mercurial: http://hg.code.sf.net/p/imaginglib/code
  • SubVersion: [svn|http]://svn.code.sf.net/p/imaginglib/code-0

Just a reminder, Imaging's SubVersion repository will be phased out completely in a foreseeable future.

Current Status

Work on Imaging was paused from autumn 2010 to summer 2011 due to me being swamped with work but it's going on again now. If you want the latest sources follow the repository commits (you can get the whole thing as a zip archive without messing with source control clients) as I still have few items I want to finish before next full release is done (that would be version 0.80).

Some new features/changes implemented since the last update here: Delphi XE 2 compatibility (Win64 and Mac OS X targets, FireMonkey), Radiance HDR/RGBE file format support, new floating point data formats, 1bit support in few image formats (PNG, MNG, TIFF), some new metadata support, bug fixes, and more.

Imaging's source code repository at SourceForge has been migrated from Subversion to Mercurial. Subversion repository will still be updated for some time (probably till 0.80 release). In the side menu on the right you can now find list of the latest commits in Imaging's repository. It's based on RSS feed provided by HgWeb. I also prepared listing of feeds from Imaging forum and Imaging-related blog posts but unfortunatelly SourceForge doesn't allow outside connections from project web sites that they are hosting :(

Next update status

Work on the next version of Imaging is on the way. Has been for several months. Some of the features you can find in SVN repository:
loading and saving of some metadata image information, Direct3D 10/11 texture support, Graphics32 interfacing, 1bit image support, image error metrics (psnr, rmse, ...). Many more features are planned so stay tuned for next Imaging release - hopefully sometime before during autumn 2010.

Check the status of upcoming Imaging in this forum thread.
