Hi,

After a lot of work, headeaches and testing, a preliminar beta
of new version 1.10 is now finished and available at:

http://www.littlecms.com/lcms-1.10.tar.gz

This time linux only, but the sources are portable. The windows
ZIP will follow in a short, as far as I could finish the Delphi part.

This release has been kindly sponsored by Hewlett-Packard, and
is meant to include big improvements in areas not previously
handled, like PostScript, Named color profiles, Python interface,
devicelink generation and  complex color flow to enumerate a few.

The documentation is not totally finished, and probably will change
in final release, but all new stuff is already there.

Here are some of the improvements:

New in ver 1.10
===========

  [Added] named color profiles support. This turns lcms from a "wide subset"
    into a "full implementation" of ICC 3.4, with some ICC 4.0 support.
  [Added] PostScript CSA, CRD generation
  [Added] Devicelink profile generation.
  [Added] Gray scale virtual profiles
  [Added] Linearization virtual device link profiles
  [Added] New ICCLINK and ICC2PS utilities
  [Added] SWIG wrapper. This enables lcms from Python.
  [Added] Floating-point formats are now accepted as well.
  [Added] More ICC 4.0 compatibility. Some 4.0 profiles are now are fully
    undestood  (still experimental)
  [Added] Profiles can now be saved to memory (thanks to Steven Greaves for
    providing the code)
  [Added] Char Target data are now handled. Some profiles does store
    the data profiler has used. This is all information needed to rebuild a profile 
from scratch.
  [Added] New low-resolution flag cmsFLAGS_LOWRESPRECALC to save memory.
  [Added] User-defined encodings are now supported.
  [Added] cmsChangeBuffersFormat() to change the encoding of buffers on
    runtime allows reuse of existing transforms.
  [Added] gamma estimation routines cmsEstimateGamma() and cmsEstimateGammaEx()
  [Added] multilocalized unicode is now supported. Language and codepage
    is selected via cmsSetLanguage() (ICC 4.0 only)
  [Added] LUT handling has been enhanced with enumerators. (SAMPLER_INSPECT)

   Improved TIFFICC, JPEGICC and ICCTRANS utilities.
   cmsOpenProfileFromMem() no longer creates temporary files.
   Transforms does accept now a maximum of 8 channels on input and
   16 on output. (last version did accept 6 on input)
   8 <-> 16 bits per sample are now always computed accurately.
   Some minor bugs fixed.


I would thank any suggestion/bug report etc. Looking forward for you comments.
