Version
-------
Official RI for OpenVG 1.1
Released: May 13, 2008

Release Notes
-------------

This release is based on OpenVG 1.1 and EGL 1.3 specifications.
This release is Windows-only, although the source code
compiles at least on Mac OS X 10.5 and Cygwin. Project files are
provided for MSVC 6.

This archive contains sources for OpenVG RI, VGU and EGL. There's
also a precompiled libOpenVG.dll that contains OpenVG and EGL implementations.

Samples
-------

Tiger

The release contains a sample application that renders an image of a
tiger. Note that the sample doesn't start immediately, since it takes
a few seconds to render the image. Resizing the window rerenders the
image in the new resolution.

Known Issues
------------

-EGL functionality is incomplete (some functions lack proper error checking, some
attribs may not be processed, etc.)
-When opening samples.dsw, MSVC may complain about missing Perforce connection. Just
ignore that.

Changes
-------

Nov 25, 2008
-Clamp color transform scale to [-127, 127] and bias to [-1, 1]

May 13, 2008
- Changed 8 sample MSAA configs into 32 sample configs
- Changed max gaussian std deviation to 16 (was 128)
- VG_DRAW_IMAGE_MULTIPLY converts luminance to RGB if either paint or image color is RGB
- Fixes A40102 by storing input floats as is

February 12, 2008
- fixed arc transformation.
- fixed point along path corner cases.
- partially fixed A40102 by not filtering invalid float input.

December 12, 2007
- fixed an overflow bug in vgFillMaskLayer error handling.
- increased accuracy for Gaussian blur. The new code avoids an infinite loop with a very small std dev.
- fixed a bug in Font::find that caused deleted fonts to be returned.

November 20, 2007
- reimplemented 1,2 & 4 bits per pixel images
- fixed vgGetParameter for paint
- fixed https://cvs.khronos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1095 RI handling of child images with shared storage
-vgGetParent: return closest valid ancestor, or image itself if no ancestor was found.
- EGL refactoring & clean up
- divided OS native parts of EGL into separate files that should be included in that platform's build
- added a generic OS backend for EGL (not thread safe, no window rendering)
- fixed https://cvs.khronos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1943 RI does not handle channel mask correctly for lL/sL/BW1
- removed EGL_IMAGE_IN_USE_ERROR from vgDrawGlyph(s)
- added configs without an alpha mask to facilitate CTS reference image creation
- implemented more accurate stroking by rendering each stroke part into a coverage buffer and compositing from there
-fixes https://cvs.khronos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2221 RI errors at end of curved strokes.
- bugfix: joins used path midpoints, interpolateStroke and caps didn't => seams (visible in some G60101 cases)
- vgCreateMaskLayer returns VG_INVALID_HANDLE if the current surface doesn't have a mask layer
- vgRenderToMask bugfix: temp buffer is now cleared between fill and stroke
- bugfix: vgCreateImage returns an error if allowedQuality is zero
- bugfix: vgSetPaint returns an error if paintModes is zero
- bugfix: vgCreateFont doesn't return an error if capacityHint is zero
- bugfix: writeFilteredPixel writes also into luminance formats

October 12, 2007
-Upgrade to OpenVG 1.1, including
-Implemented MSAA, added 4 and 8 sample EGLConfigs
-Implemented VG_A_4 and VG_A_1 image formats and EGLConfigs
-Implemented Glyph API
-Implemented new masking functions
-Implemented color transform
-Implemented native EGL backends for Windows & Mac OS X => Fix for bugzilla 1376 RI uses non-standard EGL implementation
*RI now works with CTS generation's native_w32.c (native_ri.c can be removed).
*dependency on GLUT has been removed. GLUT code is still included and can be compiled in instead of native by defining RI_USE_GLUT.
-16 bit EGLConfigs now expose 4 mask bits, 8 bit configs 8, 4 bit configs 4, and 1 bit configs 1. MSAA configs expose one bit per sample.
-EGL now works with any display, not just EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
-Simplification: removed code to handle less than 8 bits per pixel. Smaller bit depths always allocate 8 bits per pixel.
-Changed rasterizer data types to RScalar and RVector2 so that it's possible to alter RIfloat precision without affecting rasterization.
-Accuracy: increased circularLerp precision
-Bugfix: matrix inversion now checks if the input matrix is affine and forces the inverted matrix to be affine as well
-Bugfix: fixed eglCopyBuffers (copied from dst to dst)
-Bugfix: fixed eglCreatePixmapSurface (allowed only VG_sRGBA_8888, didn't give an error if config had more than one sample per pixel)
-Bugfix: bugzilla 2465: RI asserts when setting maximum amount of gradient stops

February 27, 2007
-changed to MIT open source license.
-bugfix, bugzilla 820: RGB and luminance are now treated as different color spaces.
-bugfix, bugzilla 1094/1095: vgGetParent now returns the input image in case its parent is already destroyed.

December 1, 2006
-bugfix, bugzilla 649: allowed image quality is now taken into account when deciding resampling filter.
-bugfix, bugzilla 650, bad stroking accuracy reported by TK Chan and Mika Tuomi: curve tessellation is now increased from 64 to 256. RI_MAX_EDGES has been increased from 100000 to 262144 to facilitate the increased number of edges.
-bugfix, reported by Chris Wynn, affects I30206: degenerate gradients in repeat mode now render the first stop color instead of the last one.
-changed float to RIfloat, added an option to compile RIfloat into a class to test reduced precision float ops

September 6, 2006
-bugfix, bugzilla 591: CLOSE_PATH followed by a MOVE_TO doesn't produce an extra end cap anymore
-abs values of arc axis lengths are taken only just before rendering
-undefined bits of bitfields are now ignored in the API

September 1, 2006
-changed colorToInt to use mathematical round-to-nearest as recommended by new language in section 3.4.4.
-implemented VG_PAINT_COLOR_RAMP_PREMULTIPLIED
-implemented VG_STROKE_DASH_PHASE_RESET
-implemented new language for filter channelMasks (section 11.2)
-tangents returned by vgPointAlongPath are now normalized
-implemented VG_MAX_GAUSSIAN_STD_DEVIATION, rewrote Gaussian blur code
-vgGetString: if no context, return NULL. VG_VERSION returns the spec version (1.0).
-bugfix, bugzilla 542: vgSeparableConvolve now convolves the edge color with the horizontal kernel and uses that as the edge color for the vertical pass
-ellipse rh and rv are replaced by their absolute values whenever read for processing, the absolute values are not written into the path data

August 18, 2006
-bugfix, M30301: the arguments for vguComputeWarpQuadToQuad were the wrong way around, destination should come before source.
-bugfix, M10102: check for degeneracy in vguComputeWarpSquareToQuad is done before the affinity check so that degenerate affine matrices also produce the bad warp error
-bugfix, bugzilla 491: Chris Wynn's vgComputeWarpSquareToQuad -case. There was a wrong mapping between vertices, (1,1) was mapped to (dx2,dy2)
-bugfix, bugzilla 519: vguPolygon wrong error check. vguPolygon didn't have an error check for the count argument
-bugfix, bugzilla 518: vgGetParameterfv/iv wrong errors. vgGetParametrtfv/iv error checking was for count < 0 instead of count <= 0.
-bugfix, bugzilla 517: wrong cap flag checked in vgPathTransformedBounds
-bugfix, bugzilla 494: egl.h has wrong values for OPENVG_BIT and OPENGL_ES_BIT. Copied the enumerations from the 1.3 egl.h on the Khronos site (OpenKode/egl/egl.h)
-bugfix, bugzilla 492: gradient filter window was biased
-bugfix: when appending paths, there was a loop over coordinates to replace arc axis lengths by their absolute values. However, if the path wasn't empty, the loop accessed wrong coordinates. Fixes: Qingping Zhang's cases 2&3.
-bugfix: image filter write mask was ignored when writing to VG_A_8 images. Fixes: Qingping Zhang's case 13.
-bugfix: if image filter processing format is premultiplied, color channels are clamped to alpha before conversion to destination format
-bugfix: in eglReleaseThread the EGL instance was freed when its reference count reached zero, but the pointer wasn't made NULL, causing the use of uninitialized instance.
-bugfix: vgClearImage didn't clamp the clear color to [0,1] range
-bugfix: a zero-length dash at a path vertex produces a join
-bugfix: vgSetParameter now checks paramType for all object types
-bugfix: convolution filters incorrectly restricted the area read from the source image to the intersection of source and destination image sizes
-bugfix: EGL surface creation now defaults correctly to EGL_COLOR_SPACE_sRGB
-antialiasing is done in the linear color space as the spec recommends.
-image filters clamp the result to [0,1] range.
-Color::pack and Color::convert assert that their input is in [0,1] range
-in case a projective transform is used, VGImageMode is always VG_DRAW_IMAGE_NORMAL
-the default value for VG_FILTER_FORMAT_LINEAR is now VG_FALSE
-added Matrix::isAffine for easy affinity check
-Color::clamp clamps color channels to alpha for premultiplied colors
-VG_BLEND_LIGHTEN: color channels cannot exceed alpha anymore
-RI now supports flexible pixel formats. Any bit depth for RGBA is now supported.
-eglGetProcAddress is now properly implemented, it returns a function pointer for eglSetConfigPreferenceHG extension
-eglQueryString now returns "eglSetConfigPreferenceHG" for EGL_EXTENSIONS
-location of egl.h in RI. use EGL/egl.h, VG/openvg.h, VG/vgu.h
-OpenVG 1.0.1 spec changes
+use the latest openvg.h
+2.8: AA happens in linear space
+3.4: alpha channel depth of zero results in alpha=1 when read
+4.1: return VG_NO_CONTEXT_ERROR from vgGetError in case no context is current
+5.1: VG_SCREEN_LAYOUT (default = screen layout of the display)
+5.2, 5.3: vgSet, vgGet, vgSetParameter, vgGetParameter: handling of invalid values of count
+5.2.1: new default for VG_FILTER_FORMAT_LINEAR is VG_FALSE
+8.5.3: get rid of VG_PATH_DATATYPE_INVALID and VG_IMAGE_FORMAT_INVALID enums
+10.2: get rid of old extension image formats, add the official ones
+10.5: when reading/writing pixels, clamp color channels to [0, alpha]
+10.8: when a projective transform is used, always use VG_DRAW_IMAGE_NORMAL mode
+10.8: VG_DRAW_IMAGE_MULTIPLY: if color spaces of paint and image don't match, no conversion takes place, result is in image color space
+12.4: clamp the result of additive blend to [0,1]
