Brian ~~~~~ [...] Changes from 1.0-beta to 1.0-rc This section describes changes which have been to JAI Image I/O Tools since the release of version 1.0-beta. Enhancements Generic Added upper case format name strings to all reader and writer plug-in service provider interfaces (SPIs). Streams Added SegmentedImageInputStream class and supporting class StreamSegment and interface StreamSegmentMapper. JPEG * The documentation of lossless JPEG (ISO 10918-1) was clarified. * Support for JPEG-LS (ISO 14495-1) was added. JPEG 2000 * Added ability to read pure code stream data. * Added ability to write pure code stream data (Java implementation of plug-in only). For this purpose the methods setWriteCodeStreamOnly() and getWriteCodeStreamOnly() were added to J2KImageWriteParam. TIFF * Added native acceleration for CCITT encoding and decoding of bilevel images. * Added ability to write 32-bit integral and floating point data. * Added pixel replacement capability to writer plug-in. * Changed compression type names "CCITT Group 3" to "CCITT RLE" and "New JPEG" to "JPEG". Fixes BMP Fixed bug which cause the red and blue channels to be interchanged in the image written by the writer plug-in. JPEG Fixed problem with native library crashing on Linux for 12-bit lossy JPEG. JPEG 2000 Fixed bug which caused a NullPointerException in the reader plug-in when the ImageReadParam was null. PNG * Fixed ClassCastException bug in the writer plug-in. * Fixed erroneous compression level setting in the writer. * Fixed problem with native library crashing on Linux during reading. Raw * Fixed bug which prevented the reader plug-in from reading raw unsigned short (USHORT) images with non-zero band offset. * Fixed bug which caused reader plug-in to create images with incorrect tile dimensions. TIFF * Fixed bug which prevented image returned by readAsRenderedImage() from being subsampled. * Fixed reader bug which incorrectly loaded bileve imagery with LSB-to-MSB fill order.
