Hi, as you can probably guess, Alina is keeping both me and Claudi quite busy, 24 hours a day, so development has been a bit sluggish in the last two weeks. However, I've uploaded a snapshot of the improved image decoders to the mirror sites (see http://v3.vapor.com/ for download links) Olli ===================================================================== V� Image Decoders with F-S Dithering for GIF -------------------------------------------- Update 12.5 ----------- This image decoder updates fix a problem with PNG tRNS (transparency) and alpha channel images. They also provide numerous low-level optimizations in the assember subroutines used for chunky2planar and rgb-tripplet expansion. Update 12.1 ----------- This is a beta snapshot of the V� Image Decoders with support for Floyd-Steinberg Dithering for rendering GIF images on CLUT (8 bit and less) screens. To activate the dithering, you need to set the dithering options in the V� "Images" pref section to "Floyd-Steinberg". The dithering implementation uses the real on-screen RGB palette values to calculate the error values, similiar to how V� handles JPEG already, so it does not rely on ObtainBestPen() and it's inherent relationship to the phase of the moon or nearby lylines. Individual dithering settings for the various image types and support for dithering of PNG images will follow.
