Dear Little CMS community: On a day like today, first preview of Little CMS library was released. Year was 1998. The library was still buggy and not completed, but the basic API was already defined and some functionality was there too.
That means, today Little CMS is getting 10 years old!. I would like to thank all you for the incredible amount of support you have provided: reviewing the code and documentation, providing utilities, wrappers and programs based on the library and so on... the list of contributors is so big that would not fit this mail, thank you all! And of course, a 10th anniversary deserves some special. So, I have uploaded in the site a preview of the incoming LittleCMS 2.0, which is scheduled to be released Spring'09 http://www.littlecms.com/lcms-2.0preview-11-2-2008.zip This is an early preview, no documentation, just a couple of utilities, no build system, bugs, etc. *but*: the library code is complete. There is a extensive testbed too. Lcms-2.0 is almost a full rewrite. Here are some highlights on what is capable of: - Full V4 support, including Multi Processing elements. That means lcms2 will support any type of valid ICC profiles. - Floating point mode. That means there is a special mode for digital photo, math, etc. that has very high precision. - Plug-in support:. That means you can extend lcms to include private algorithms, like interpolation, new tags, new intents... SmartCMM mode is now supported across this feature. - Jan Morovic's Segment Maxima as gamut boundary descriptor. - Incomplete adaptation states for ICC-absolute colorimetric - Full support of all public tag types - Many other features. So, I would be glad to have any feedback from you. The mailing list seems a great way to post your thoughts. On the other hand, if you want to contact me in person, I will be giving a tutorial in the ICC DevCon 08 and co-chairing the interactive session of CIC16. If you are there, just let me know!
