CHANGE HISTORY 
--------------

Not yet  BJH  Release 10.53.00

              fitstopnm: Deal properly with NaN in input image.

              pamstereogram: Add mapped texture stereogram option.
              Thanks Scott Pakin.

              pamstereogram: slight change to dpi and eye separation defaults.
              invert near/far dark/light association.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              pm_floatFromBigendFloat, pm_doubleFromBigendFloat, fitstopnm:
              fix corrupted output.  Broken in 10.46.

              pamtopdbimg: fix corrupted output image.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              pdbimgtopam: fix corrupted output image.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              Rename all external symbols that don't have a Netpbm prefix
              to start with "pm_": shhopt, nstring, nsleep.  Eliminate
              createBlackTuple -- pnmCreateBlackTuple already existed.

10.09.26 BJH  Release 10.52.00

              Add pamtopdbimg, pdbimgtopam.

              Add pamrecolor.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              anytopnm: Use 'pngtopam' shell command instead of 'pngtopnm'.

              pnmtopng:  -libversion doesn't report level of linked libz.
              It was a modularity violation and caused build failures on
              Mac OS X, because pnmtopng per se doesn't know about libz --
              it's used by libpng.

              libnetpbm: add pm_readbiglong2, pm_readbiglong2u,
              pm_readlittlelong2, pm_readlittlelong2u: These use the proper
              32 bit integer types instead of "long".  (But the old ones
              still work in legacy code because long is always at least 32
              bits).

              pnmconvol: fix reversed sense of -nooffset.  Introduced in
              10.49.

              ppmtompeg: fix crash with free of unallocated memory.
              Broken after 10.18, not later than 10.26.

              Build: fix parallel make - multiple simultaneous attempts to
              build lib/util/importinc.

              Build: don't fail due to SIGRTMIN, SIGRTMAX being undefined.

              Build: don't expect snprintf() to exist.

              Build: don't use <strings.h> or bzero().

              Build: fix PNGVER.  Thanks Matthew Fischer
              <futhark@users.sourceforge.net>.

              pamflip: speedup for PBM.  Use SSE2 and skip some idempotent
              pixel movement.  Thanks Prophet of the Way <afu@wta.att.ne.jp>.

              anytopnm: recognize "PC bitmap" in 'file' response as BMP.
              (in addition to existing "PC bitmap data").

              libnetpbm, various PBM programs: Use SSE insted of MMX.  Thanks
              Prophet of the Way <afu@wta.att.ne.jp>.

              pbmtext/libpbmfont: Fix wild pointer; probably asymptomatic.
              Introduced in 10.39.

              pbmtext/libpbmfont: Fix some error messages for bad fonts.

              pbmtext/libpbmfont: fix crash with a BDF font with negative
              left or bottom border.  Introduced in 10.39.

              palmtopnm: fix for pixel size 16.  Thanks Paul Bolle
              <pebolle@tiscali.nl>.

              pnmsmooth: Fail politely when convolution matrix is so
              large as to bust the system's program parameter size limit
              on the invocation of pnmconvol.

              avstopam: fix incorrect output.

              pnmsmooth: fix arithmetic overflow with absurdly large
              convolution matrix dimensions.  Thanks Prophet of the Way
              <afu@wta.att.ne.jp>.

              pnmsmooth: fix wild pointer: causes wrong arguments to
              'pnmconvol'.  Introduced in 10.50.  Thanks Prophet of the Way
              <afu@wta.att.ne.jp>.

              configure: don't default to /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so just because
              /usr/X11R6 exists.  /usr/X11R6/lib must exist.

10.03.27 BJH  Release 10.50.00

              Add pamtoavs, avstopam.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              Add pampaintspill.

              pnmconvol: Add -normalize .

              pm_system(): Close extraneous file descriptors that, among
              other things, prevent child from seeing EOF.

              libnetpbm: Add PNM_GETR(), PNM_GETG(), PNM_GETB().  Same
              as PPM_GETR(), etc.

              libnetpbm: Add ppm_luminosity().  Same as PPM_LUMIN, but
              returns pixval.

              pnmhisteq: Equalize based on luminosity alone, rather than a
              strange combination of luminosity and HSV value.

              pamenlarge: Make special fast path for scale factors up to 10
              (2, 3, and 5 already existed).  Thanks Prophet of the Way

              ybmtopbm: Assume YBM format has raster in natural order
              instead of byte-reversed.  This is what pbmtoybm creates,
              and is most logical.  We don't know if there are any existing
              YBM images or generators of them other than pbmtoybm.

              pbmpscale: speedup.

              pbmclean: speedup.

              pbmtext: fix crash when BDF font file contains spurious

              broken in 10.47.

              palmtopnm: fix incorrect "PALM_DIRECT_COLOR_FLAG is not valid
              for version 3 encoding type" failure.  Thanks Paul Bolle

              temporary file directory.

              libnetpbm: When reading plain format PNM with PAM routines,
              validate pixel against maxval (necessary for integer non-overrun
              guarantees).

              pnmsmooth: change -dump option to output a new pnmconvol
              -matrix option instead of a PGM file (because pnmsmooth now
              uses -matrix).

              pnmtofiasco: fix bug: doesn't work with Standard Input.

              pnmsmooth: fix incorrect call to pm_system_lp() that makes
              it never work (but it wouldn't anyway because pm_system_lp()
              was broken -- see below).

              pm_system*: fix various bugs making it never work.

              xpmtoppm: fix wild pointer with color index > 127.

              xpmtoppm: fix wild pointer when the input has a color index
              value that is too large to be consistent with the number of
              colors and bytes per pixel.

              pamtouil: fix crash when -name option doesn't contain an
              underscore.

              configure: advise if adding -lz -lm fixes libpng link problem.

              makeman: some fixes or enhancements.

09.09.27 BJH  Release 10.48.00

              ppmsvgalib: Wait to initialize Svgalib to prevent it from
              interfering with error messages early code might issue, and
              leaving the console in an undesirable state if the failures
              cause the program to abort early.

              tifftopnm: wait for Pamflip processes to terminate before
              exiting.

              Remove pngtopnm from the package.  Pngtopnm is now an alias
              for Pngtopam.

              pngtopam, pnmtopng: Compiles with libpng 1.4 beta.

              Build: work with JPEG library Version 7.

              Build: Configure recognizes libvga.a installed without
              libvga.so and offers that as default.

              Build: Configure recognizes the Mingw-64 compiler.

              Build: fix failure of a merge build on a system that doesn't
              have the PNG library.

              Build: fix failure to recognize static library in omitting
              -R from link.

              Build: use AR from config.mk instead of "ar" to build static
              libraries: libnetpbm, librle, libjasper.

              Build: don't use "uint".

              Package: fix installation of pnmplain on Windows (.exe suffix).

09.06.27 BJH  Release 10.47.00

              Add pamsistoaglyph.  Thanks Scott Pakin.

              pnmpsnr: Use more precise math to conclude that images are

              map as default.

              pnmremap: fix -missingcolor:  where map file (ergo output) is not
              depth 3, uses an arbitrary color.

              pnmremap: fix loss of dithering when the map (and thus the
              output) has lower maxval than the input.  (Old code scales down
              to the new maxval before dithering).

              libnetpbm (ppmd): fix: don't ignore failure to read font file.

              Fix: remove inclusion of pm_c_util.h from sshopt.h, which is

              configure: offer Gcc as an optional compiler for HP-UX.

09.03.29 BJH  Release 10.46.00

              xwdtopnm: Add -cmapdump .

              xwdtopnm: Change maxval calculation for truecolor to fit
              X11 spec.  Now it's determined by bits_per_rgb.

              xwdtopnm: Add warning about 2 byte sample output.
         
              pnmcrop: fast path for PBM.

              pnmcrop: Use border file instead of original image to determine
              the background color (i.e. the color of added margins).

              pnmscale: finally make it just an alias of pamscale, which
              obsoleted it in 10.20.
              
              pnmcut: finally make it just an alias of pamcut, which
              obsoleted it in 9.20.

              ppmtopict: Use two-byte length field when image width > 200
              instead of > 250.  Former is what Picttoppm has been assuming
              since March 2004, when it was found to work better than 250,
              which is the number documented as right.

              ilbmtoppm: fix bug: appends color map PPM to output if input
              has color map; fails if input doesn't have color map.  Broken
              in 10.18.

              leaftoppm: fix bug: uses red channel as all three channels;

              Build: Use GNU compile options for Darwin.

              Build: Move CFLAGS later in libjasper and librle build so that a
              -I in CFLAGS doesn't interfere with finding the local libjasper
              and Netpbm header files.

              Build: Move LDFLAGS later so that a -L in LDFLAGS doesn't

              libnetpbm: add ppm_fastlumin().  Change ppmtopgm, ppmtoilbm,
              and ppm3d to use this, which results in higher quality output,

              distributed):

                    necessitated by the incorrect XYZ -> RGB transformation;
                 3. Added a Gamma correction, missing in the original;

              this.  pnm_readpnmrow() changed to do same.  external data
              symbols like this do not work with Mingw.

              fully cached) file.  This saves memory because pnmtopng's
              internal format may use 96 times as much space per pixel 
              as the file.

              libpbm: Add pm_openr_seekable(), pm_seek(), pm_tell().

              libppm: Add ppm_computecolorhash2(), ppm_computecolorhist2().

              Split pbmplus.h into pm_config.h and pbm/pm.h to prepare
              for automatic generation of pm_config.h.  Move pm_*()
              subroutines from libpbm1.c to new libpm.c for clarity.

              Remove malloc.h from 411toppm.  malloc is included by
              pm_config.h, in platform-dependent way.

              because of uninitialized variable.

              pnmpsnr: rewritten so as not to use Fiasco library.
              Correctly handles maxval != 255.  Works with PAM.

              Add IRIX to the configure program.  Thanks Neil Franklin

              large images with weird scaling factors.  Add pnmscalefixed,
              which is the old fixed point pnmscale, which goes faster.  But

              Look for both /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt and /usr/openwin/lib/rgb.txt
              by default.  Improved error messages if file not found.

              pbmtext: renders character codes 0x80-0xff and 0x00-0x1f as
              whatever the font says, rather than always blank.  Thanks

00.04.15 BJH  Release 9.0

              Add the 16-bit-per-sample format for maxval > 255.
              Change size of samples in the library interface from 8
              bits to 32 bits.  Library write routines now create the
              new 16 bit format instead of plain format when you
              request a maxval > 255 and not 'forceplain'.  Make all
              programs read the new format, and all programs that
              convert to PNM from a >8 bit input generate it instead
              of failing or normalizing.  Make pnmdepth generate it.

              pnm_readpnminit(), etc. fails if you request a maxval >
              65535 and not 'forceplain'.  It used to generate plain
              format in that case, but you couldn't actually specify    
              a sample value > 255.

              Add pnmtorle and rletopnm from the Army High Performance 
              Computing Research Center.

              add ppmcolormask - creates a mask of areas of a certain 
              color in an image.

              anytopnm: fix infinite loop
              
              pbmtext:  Ignore non-8-bit characters in bdf files instead
              of crashing.

              ppmdither: fix crash with large dithering matrix dimensions.

              Rename ppmtompeg/headers/search.h to motion_search.h to avoid
              possible confusion with the OSF system file search.h
         
              Fix erroneous shhopt.h dependency in build.
              
00.04.03 BJH  Release 8.4

              mpeg tools.

              Add ppmfade, adapted from Wesley C. Barris' pbmfade. 

              Add ability to extract the alpha channel to tifftopnm,
              tgatoppm, and ximtoppm.  (It's already in pngtoppm,
              and still missing from ilbmtoppm).

              pnmtotiff: Change default compression to none, due to
              removal of LZW capability from Tiff library.

              Make merge build use symbolic links instead of hard links.

              Include dependent libraries in the link of the
              libraries.  This is necessary on some systems, and a
              good idea on others.

              Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist[] everywhere.  If
              some systems do not have the former, we need to do some
              work, because strerror() was already used in some
              places.  We do have a report of a BeOS system with no
              sys_errlist[].

CHANGE LOG FROM PBMPLUS
-----------------------

Changes since the 30oct91 patch version:

    Fixed uninitialized variable in ppmtotga.  (John Walker)
    Added pgmcrater, ppmforge, ppmtoacad, sldtoppm.  (John Walker)
    Slight change to the p?mmerge.c front-ends to allow for main programs
      that return instead of exitting.
    Minor clarifications to the pnmconvol man page.
    Fixed xwdtopnm to read some 16-bit True/Direct files. (David Elliott)
    Fixed uninitialized variables in pnmtotiff.  (Larry Rosenstein, Bayles Holt)
    Added a couple of checks for \r while reading whitespace. (Larry Rosenstein)
    Removed all the BROKENPUTC stuff.  Now we ignore all return values from
      putc(), and check ferror() in pm_close().  Added pm_close() calls to
      many of the filters.
    Fixed pnmdepth to check for too-large newmaxvals.  Improved rounding
      in pnmdepth and PPM_DEPTH macro.  (Tom Lane)
    Minor fix to ppmtouil.  (Mohsen Banan)
    Added new Imakefiles.  (Rainer Klute)

Changes since the 05oct91 X11R5 contrib tape version:

    Fixed minor SysV config error in pbmplus.h.  (Tom Lane)
    Fixed tifftopnm so that BITSPERSAMPLE and SAMPLESPERPIXEL default
      correctly.  Fixed possible bug in tgatoppm line-interleaving code.
      (Arthur David Olson)
    Fixed tifftopnm so that colormapped files are read correctly.
      (PauL Drews, Mike Wade)
    Corrected use of DefaultRGBDatabase / RGB_DB for imake sites.
      (Randal L. Schwartz)
    Bugfix to pnmtops color PostScript in -rle mode.  (Angus Duggan)

      image by 2 rows and columns.  Minor fix to pgmramp.  Fixed off-by-one
      error in pnmtoxwd.  Man page fix for pnmgamma.  (Arthur David Olson)
    Converted ANSI trigraphs in ppmtosixel into good old octal.  (Jeff Glover)
    Fix to 24/32 bit case in rasttopnm.  (Behr de Ruiter)
    Float/double portability fix to libppm4.  (Bruce Holmer, Ronald Khoo)
    Fixed typo in compat.ksh.  (Larry Virden)
    Fixed int/short incompatibility in tifftopnm.  (Salik Rafiq)

Changes during the extended beta test period, starting on 15jan91:

    Lots of fixes from: Anthony A. Datri, Arthur David Olson, David Brooks,
      David Elliott, Doug Claar, Duncan Sinclair, Francois Pinard, Gerard
      Leurs, Jim Hanko, Ken Laprade, Klaus U. Schallhorn, Markus Bolz, Mike
      Hench, Philip Gladstone, R C Smith, Selden E. Ball, Jr., Stephen Uitti,
      Steve Allen, Tom Lane, update.kpj-jaakkola@athena.dsv.su.se,
      Charles Karney, Unmesh Agarwala, Ed Pendzik, Juha Sarlin, Tom Tulinsky,
      Phillip Smith, Lai-King Mau, David Koblas, Mark Donovan.
    Added a global -version flag.
    Added bunches of statics and prototypes.  Now compiles with zero
      warnings under gcc -ansi -pedantic.
    Changed #ifdef __STDC__ to #if __STDC__, since some non-compliant
      compilers define it as 0.
    Changed pm_message and pm_error to be varargs routines.  Added a
      portable version of vfprintf for those systems which don't have it.
    Removed the option of not compiling the pgm and ppm parts.  Very few
      people used it, and it added amazing complexity to the pnm programs,
      turning them into maintenance nightmares.
    Merged pbmpaste into pnmpaste.
    Merged pgmtops and ppmtops into pnmtops.
    Added auto-scaling and dpi / page size flags to pnmtops.

      ximtoppm, pgmtofs, picttoppm, ppmtopict, ppmquantall, anytopnm,
      pi1toppm, ppmtopi1, sputoppm, spctoppm, pbmto10x, ppmtoicr, ppmmake,
      xpmtoppm, ppmtopuzz, ppmtouil, ybmtopbm, pbmtoybm, lispmtopgm,

      xwdtopbm and xwdtoppm into xwdtopnm;
      pbmtoxwd and ppmtoxwd into pnmtoxwd.

      ppmarith to pnmarith;
      ppmconvol to pnmconvol;
      ppmcscale to pnmdepth;
      ppmrotate to pnmrotate;
      ppmscale to pnmscale;
      ppmshear to pnmshear;
      ppmsmooth to pnmsmooth;
      tifftopgm to tifftopnm - new version based on Sam Leffler's libtiff.
    Bugfixes to pbmtoicon, ppmtops.
    The Makefiles now have a "merge" option.
    All flags are now case-insensitive.
    Added $(MAKE) stuff to Makefile.
    Changed pnmsmooth from a csh script to a sh script.
    Made macro use in pbmtox10bm and pbmtoxbm more portable.
    Moved compataliases to compat.csh, and added compat.ksh.

    Added -headerskip and -rowskip flags to rawtopgm.
    Enhanced rasttopnm to interpret 8-bit rasters with no colormap as grayscale.

    Added -expand flag to pbmmask.
    Speedup to pnmflip - don't buffer if possible.
    Added color-name-to-value routine to ppm - uses X11's rgb.txt if present.

    Removed picttopbm.
    Improved pnmcut argument syntax so that negative coords work like pnmpaste.
    Added "magic" file, for use with the "file" program.
    40% speedup for pgmnorm from Robert Stockton (rgs@cs.cmu.edu).
    Fixed long-standing bug involving colormaps on SPARCstations when
      compiled with gcc -- had to do with passing structs by value.
    Removed the -x flag from pnmtorast -- it's not really needed.
    Fixed subtle bug in the pnm reading code that caused pnmcat to blow
      it on images that differed greatly in width or height.
    New version of giftoppm that handles the GIF89a standard, and doesn't
      use fseek.
    Fixed fitstopgm to handle three-axis images, such as the Hubble pix.
    Xwdtopnm and pnmtoxwd finally handle byte-order properly.
    Added -xysize flag to pnmscale.
    Added conditional ANSI function prototypes to library routines.
    Added -noantialias flag to pnmrotate and pnmshear.
    Removed the TIPS file.  No one ever sent in any new tips, so I just
      moved the few I had into the relevant man pages.  That's probably
      where they belonged in the first place.
    Added justification flags to pnmcat.
    Added -map flag to ppmquant - user-specifiable colormap.  Also, the
      Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion finally works right.

    Added DirectColor capability to xwdtopnm and pnmtoxwd.
    Speedup to pgmtolj from Arthur David Olson: avoid sending whitespace.

    Fixed bug in pgmtops -rle.

Changes since the alt.sources distribution of 13sep89:

    Small corrections to ppmtorast, pgmtops.
    Moved pbm/tifftopbm to pgm/tifftopgm - it now handles grayscale TIFF files.
    Fixed tifftopgm to handle non-native byte order.
    Changes to tifftopgm to handle bogus AppleScan TIFF files, to have
      better command syntax, and to use stdio.
    Optimizations to xbmtopbm, pbmtoxbm, and pbmtox10bm, courtesy of
      Juha Sarlin, to make them go about three times as fast.
    Optimization to pgmtops and ppmtops to make them go three times as fast.
    Optimization to pnmcrop.
    Added PBMPLUS_BROKENPUTC defines in pbmplus.h to handle systems (such as
      ULTRIX) which have broken putc() macros.
    Rewrote ppmscale, pnmcat, and pgmhist to operate line-by-line, instead
      of reading in the whole image.
    Rewrote pnmflip to keep only one copy of the image in memory.
    Added pgmtofits, courtesy of Wilson H. Bent, plus bugfixes to fitstopgm
      and a patch to giftoppm to handle black&white GIF files.
    Added picttopbm and rawtopgm.
    Fixes to xwdtoppm and ppmtoxwd so they compile with SunOS cc as well as gcc.
    Another small change to ppmtoxwd having to do with colormap size.
    Changed macptopbm's -headersize flag to be -extraskip.
    Changed tgatoppm to read color values as BGRA instead of ARGB; the Targa
      documentation is apparently wrong about the order.
    Some changes to the Makefiles, partially to work around bugs in gnumake.
    Got g3topbm working, and added pbmtog3, courtesy of Paul Haeberli.
    Added some pixrect work-alike code so that rasttopbm, pbmtorast, rasttoppm,
      and ppmtorast can be used on non-Sun systems.  This also provides a
      final solution to the persistent byte- and bit-order problems on 386's.
    Moved the SYSV-checking #ifdefs to *after* the include of pbm.h, which
      defines SYSV.
    Made all the #else's and #endif's ANSI-compliant.
    Added manual pages for libpbm, libpgm, libppm, and libpnm, courtesy
      of Tony Hansen.
    Changed man page installation so that pages from different sections
      can go in different directories.
    Fixed Imakefiles.

Changes since the expo.lcs.mit.edu FTP distribution of 06sep89:

    Added #ifdefs to pnm/libpnm3.c to allow the PBM-PNM-only configuration.
    Small corrections to TIPS, pnm/Makefile, pnm/Imakefile, ppm/ppmrotate.1,
      ppm/ppmshear.1, ppm/ppmtoilbm.c, pbm/xwdtopbm.c, ppm/xwdtoppm.c,
      ppm/ppmtoxwd.c, ppm/ppmtoxwd.1, pbm/x11wd.h.

    Consolidated into a single pnmflip tool: pbmfliplr pbmfliptb pbmtrnspos.
    Consolidated into a single pnmcat tool: pbmcatlr pbmcattb.
    Added compataliases script for upward compatability with changed tools.
    Removed xxxtopbm.
    Added a -headersize flag to macptopbm, to help get around annoying
      problems in MacPaint file format.
    Added the RAWBITS compilation-time option, to use a more compact and
      much faster (but less portable) external format.
    Removed the CBM format - use compress(1) and / or RAWBITS instead.
    Pbmpaste (and the new pnmpaste) now accepts negative x and y coords,
      which are interpreted relative to the right and bottom sides.
    Changed all programs to accept a "-" file argument as meaning standard
      input.
    Removed pbmtox10wd, since it was never very useful (X10 doesn't have xwud).
    Added Imakefiles, for X11 types to use.

Changes since the X.V11R3 distribution of 31aug88:

    The cbm format has been revised to include run-length encoding.
    Pbmtops now does run-length encoding.

Major changes since the X.V11R2 distribution of 28mar88:

    The pbm format now has a "magic number".
    New conversion filters: brushtopbm, giftopbm, pbmtolj, pbmtomacp,
      pbmtoxwd, and pbmtox10wd.
    Icontopbm converter has a better parser -- it knows to skip over
      any extraneous comments at the beginning of the icon file.
    Pbmtops generates a different PostScript wrapper program -- it should
      handle huge bitmaps better.
    Xwdtopbm now handles byte-swapping correctly.
    Pbmmake takes a flag to specify the color of the new bitmap.
    Pbmpaste now implements 'or', 'and', and 'xor' operations as well
      as the default 'replace'.
