 * Temporarily plugged bug in layer merging descovered by allanon, when
   bottommost layer does not have any image in it.
 * Reimplemented image output to allow for flexible support for many image
   formats - right now it could be ASImage itself, XImage, mask XImage and 
   ARGB32. Surprisingly that simplified code quite abit. Fixed ugly bug in

 * fixed configure to produce correct dependencies
 * no message
 * Hopefully fixed memory allocations audit on libAfterBase.
 * Added ASImageBevel to allow for transparent bevelling of images while

   autoconf
 *  added configclean target to the top level makefile; fixed libraries
   makefiles to correctly generate .depend files
 *  fixed configure scripts to not do extra checks when invoked from one
   another

[2001-06-11: owsla]

[2001-06-10: sashav]
 * got rid of old image loading stuff. LoadImageWithMask moved into resources.h
   and is now simple shortcut to libAfterImage loader

[2001-06-09: sashav]
 * made test to compile; Fixed several bugs in libAfterImage; optimized 2bpp
   handling in xpm code; builtin xpm handler is about 2 times as fast as libXpm
   on small images and 5 times on larger ones

[2001-06-08: sashav]
 * configure fixes
 * updated configure scripts
 * further progress - src/test compiles now, but need to redo
   libAfterImage/configure
 * fixed compilation bug in import.c
 * rebuilt configure scripts
 * updated configure scripts to reflect addition of the xpm parsing code
 * Completed custom xpm implementation. Needs to be debugged thou.

   configuration as well. MOved configure.h and some other headers into include
   dir, so it could be used by modules

[2001-06-07: sashav]
 * Fixed MyName requests in selfdiag.c; Added xpm.c to implement custom xpm
   handling code - appears to be rather simple and effective. Most of the
   things are implemented, except for top level routine.

   needs to be something done to Mkaefiles and configure to correctly set up
   include paths and libraries.

[2001-05-28: sashav]
 * Split ASVisual from ScreenInfo and rearranged ARGB32. Added ASGradient to
   asimage.h and made gradient_t to be a synonym to it. That should allow for
   better library independancy - visual will go with libAfterImage while
   ScreenInfo will move into libAfterStep , or, possibly will split up even
   more. Goal is to make libAfterImage completely independant from everything
   else.

[2001-05-23: allanon]
 * Updated FSF snail mail address.

[2001-05-12: sashav]
 * added code to check for valid channels while flipping

[2001-05-10: sashav]
 * Completed gradients drawing code. Started  on flipping code. Added direction
   reverse to output method.

[2001-05-09: sashav]
 * Implemented vertical gradient drawing. sorted out relationship between
   channel numbering and ARGB32 component order - its the same now.
 * fixed mono line encoding to add zero terminator at the end; fixed scanline
   back_color initialization to have alpha at 0xFF; fixed decoration layouting
   to not use stack memory in linked list; fixed property event handler to
   initialize variable to NULL; Afterstep now starts , althou does not do
   anything usefull

[2001-05-08: sashav]
 * coded gradients drawing using ASImages with smoothing and dithering - works
   very blasted fast. Fixed numerous include's issues

[2001-05-07: sashav]
 * fixed create_screen_window for InputOnly windows fixed bug in screen
   initialization where Colormap ID would get lost fixed bug in desktop
   creation code where desktop->scr would never get initialized. Added
   show_progress function to work similarly to show_warning/error Rearranged
   thresholds for output verbosity Added stdargs.h  to import.c - suggested by
   Sean Dague

[2001-05-04: sashav]
 * completed ASFont implementation as needed at the moment - there will need to
   be some work done in order to adapt it to locale support.( as well as in
   several other places). changed glyph compression algorithm once again to run
   length encode only 0s and FFs, and store rest in raw format. That allows to
   cut down on memory since we don't use 2 bytes anymore. 3 step antialiasing
   works now. Off to image rotation and gradient drawing.

[2001-05-03: sashav]
 * Improved glyph compression algorithm so now it actually reduces size, even
   on ery small fonts. Tryed to implement additional glyph smoothing, but
   something is wrong - disabled for now.

[2001-05-02: sashav]
 * fixed font drawing to group glyphs as close together as possible - make for
   much nicer effect.
 * debugged X11 fonts loading and drawing. Still need to do something about
   negative left bearings - ought to really offset a pen to overlap charcters

[2001-05-01: sashav]
 * Implemented antialiasing for native X  fonts - still needs some debuggin.

[2001-04-30: sashav]
 * added RLE compression to the font glyph cache. added character range
   specification for the font. added right-to-left writing order on per font
   basis.

[2001-04-27: sashav]
 * implemented text drawing using precached TTF fonts -- needs addition of
   locale support in future. Fixed image merging to do clipping correctly.
   Added image background color
 * fixed freetype headers problems and a bug in font hashing

[2001-04-26: sashav]
 * started implementing font manager and freetype support

[2001-04-25: sashav]
 * moved scanline merging functions into separate file
 * fixed most blending function so not to tresspass alpha channel boundaries.
   Added tint_scanlines and implemented dissipation
 * fixed bug in image loading where piexls would get shifted by one to the
   right. added 14 image blending functions - almost matching that of the
   GIMP's capabilities, except for multiply and divide modes, which I don't see
   much sense in. Added RGB->HSV->RGB and RGB->HLS->RGB conversion functions.

[2001-04-24: sashav]
 * cleaned up output/encoding functionality. Added quality parameters to
   dynamically adjust quality on per image basis. Implemented alpha blending
   and generic layer merging framework.

[2001-04-23: sashav]
 * debugged tiling functionality and optimized it so not to do repeated
   compression on the same data. Added compression ratio specification on per
   image basis. OPtimized buffer copy to use 32bit data transfer. Implemented
   tinting( as a part of tiling process ).
 * debugging tiler

[2001-04-22: sashav]
 * added tile_image() - needs debugging
 * ASImageDecoder

[2001-04-20: sashav]
 * added TIFF import and implemented generic image loading function with search
   capabilities and subimage loading. Fixed two more bugs in image scaling.
 * added GIF import filter; added configure code to detect gif and tiff
   libraries

[2001-04-19: sashav]
 * .CUR is the same as .ICO only type = 2
 * Added support for .PNM, .PPM, .ICO, .BMP image file formats - TIFF and GIF
   to go

[2001-04-18: sashav]
 * xcf image loading now works, but only gets you first layer with the same
   size as whole image. Need to implement layers merging for ASImages to get
   complete support for GIMP's xcf files
 * fixed bug in xcf channel loading - theer are no such thing as channel type

[2001-04-17: sashav]
 * most of the preparation work for xcf reading is done - now off to actually
   create ASImage from it. added code to poupulate ASScanline with 0's where
   data is not available;

[2001-04-16: sashav]
 *  minor quality tweaks in rations 1-2 scaling up. Started implementing
   ASImageDecoder for automatic tinting/tiling
 * IMplemented JPEG input filter for ASImage. Fixed long standing bug in image
   scaling causing wierdness in scaling UP with small ratios. Started
   implemntation of XCF file reader.

[2001-04-15: sashav]
 * implemented png file reader and fixed blatant bug in scale image up where
   first line got garbadge in it

[2001-04-14: sashav]

[2001-04-13: sashav]
 * compilation fixes
 * Implemented xpm loading into asimage. Updated asimage to correctly use
   ScreenInfo. implemented create_screen_pixmap and create_screen_ximage
 * fixed test abit to not spit lots of warnings

[2001-04-08: sashav]
 * fixed bugs in scaling down code with ratio > 2; It appears that you can
   create windows with different visual only if you create new colormap and
   allocate border color from it as well. Fixed screen.c accordingly. We keep
   black and white pixels and colormap in ScreenInfo now - should use it
   instead of X macros

[2001-04-06: sashav]
 * implemented workaround for some stupid X servers that denys you your
   constitutional right to use whatever Visual you like.
 * couple bugfixes for new visual handling code. moved ximage->scanline->ximage
   code from asimage.c to screen.c still need to implement PseudoClor handling
 * hopefully fixed bug in 2x scaling up code

[2001-04-05: sashav]
 * no message
 * reworked ScreenInfo abit to include visual info. Added screen.c to
   libafterstep to collect together all the Screen/display related stuff -
   ConnectX, MyXErrorHandle, and several new things : init_screen and
   destroy_screen. nolock_mods has been moved outside of the ScreenInfo as it
   is per-display and not per-screen stuff. all_screens global variable holds
   pointers to all ScreenInfo structrures for available screens. Added
   query_visual_info to try and obtain best possible visual for AfterStep to
   use. Need to move ximage->as->ximage conversion stuff into screen.c.
   ConnectX now takes only one parameter - pointer to ScreenInfo is
   discontinued
 * same old Ximage cleanup

[2001-04-04: sashav]
 * asimage->ximage debugging again - this time about 50% performance increase.
 * more optimization to ximage output algorithm - that was the last of it I'm
   sick and tired from this stuff

[2001-04-03: sashav]
 * Some tweaks to XImage writing code to speed things up - we were spending
   up to 30% of time writing XImages - unacceptable.
 * fixed bug in line interpolation causing stripy artifacts in scaling up
 * fixed bug in line interpolation causing stripy artifacts in scaling up
 * mmx debugged

[2001-04-02: sashav]
 * Added some MMX inline assembly to image scaling code to hopefully make it
   faster -  need to verify if that indeed is the case.
 * aaa

[2001-04-01: sashav]
 * scaling speed optimizations

[2001-03-31: sashav]
 * debugged new scaling code - scale up is rather nice even with huge ratio -
   check out src/test

[2001-03-30: sashav]
 * Implemented complete scaling Up procedure for arbitrary ratio - if it'll
   work then similar stuff will go for 1-2 and 2-3 ratios. Added
   reshape_winlist to WinList to actually generate layout of titlebars based on
   WinList data and store pointers to them in appropriate place in WMDecor
   structures. It now needs to be debugged as a prototype for other modules.
 * debugged scaling down algorithm  - it now works and scale things down rather
   nicely. Thus we have a proof of concept and can proceed on to scaling up -
   which is mopstly implemented already

[2001-03-29: sashav]
 * completed implementation of scaling down of ASImages. Added dithering
   capabilities to ASImage->XImage conversion to hopefully produce better
   results on 16bpp and 15bpp Fixed bug in ASWinLIst message processing to
   create WinList if it did not exist. Fixed Bug in afterstep to initialize
   handlers in main window list to correct functions.
 * defined structure of high level scaling API

[2001-03-28: sashav]
 * Added AS message reading/partiall handling to new WinList. Moved
   get_window_* functions into aswinlist.c Changed the way process_message is
   called - it now takes ASMessage * as a param. Made everything compiling.
 * some theory investigation into up scaling algorithms with smoothing

[2001-03-27: sashav]
 * the best variant of compression algorithm - average compression ratio is
   about 75for highly random images(nature) and 30for regular images (naked
   body, etc.); no off to more exciting things

[2001-03-26: sashav]
 * no message
 * fixed compression code

[2001-03-24: owsla]
 * removed static keyword from libasimage_decode_line, this was preventing it
   from being exported in the lib, which made the test program fail

[2001-03-23: sashav]
 * optimized asimage decompression algorithm scaling down algorithm
   implemented/.
 * extensive asimage debugging - compression now seems to work fine

[2001-03-22: sashav]
 * Completed implementation of Pixmap->ASImage->Pixmap cycle Now off to
   debugging and implementing of scaling/alpha-blending/etc.

[2000-12-12: sashav]
 * libasimage has been renamed to libasGUI

[2000-09-18: sashav]

[2000-05-15: sashav]
 * asImageFromXImageTest
