 | |
|  - atomic file saves and fixed --skip-if-larger
 | |
|  - avoid applying quality setting to images that use palette already
 | |
|  - preserving standard PNG chunks (requires libpng 1.6)
 | |
|  - deprecated libpng 1.2 support
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 2.2
 | |
| -----------

|  - preserving of unknown PNG chunks (enables optimized Android 9-patch images)
 | |
|  - improved color profile support: cHRM & gAMA as alternative to ICC profiles, OpenMP acceleration
 | |
|  - improved support for Intel C Compiler, speedup in 32-bit GCC, and some workarounds for Visual Studio's incomplete C support
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 2.1
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - option to save files only if they're compressed better than the original
 | |
|  - option to generate posterized output (for use with 16-bit textures)
 | |
|  - support for ICC profiles via Little CMS library
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 2.0
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - refactored codebase into pngquant and standalone libimagequant
 | |
|  - reduced memory usage by further 30% (and more for very large images)
 | |
|  - less precise remapping improving speed by 25% in higher speed settings
 | |
|  - --output option for writing converted file under the given path
 | |
|  - light dithering with --floyd=0.5
 | |
|  - fixed regression in dithering of alpha channel
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.8
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - min/max quality option (number of colors is automatically adjusted for desired quality level)
 | |
|  - switched option parsing to getopt_long (syntax such as -s1 and --ext=ext is supported)
 | |
|  - significantly improved performance thanks to custom partial sorting
 | |
|  - optional Cocoa (Mac OS X) image reader for color profile support
 | |
|  - reduced memory usage by 20%
 | |
|  - remapping improved for very low number of colors
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.7
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - new, accurate RGBA color similarity algorithm
 | |
|  - change of optional SSE3 code to SSE2 that is always enabled on x86-64
 | |
|  - optional OpenMP-based parallelisation of remapping
 | |
|  - changed long options to use double hyphen (-force to --force) [thanks to Jari Aalto]
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.6
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - novel dithering algorithm that doesn't add noise unless necessary
 | |
|  - perceptual weighting of colors taking into account edges and noise
 | |
|  - much faster remapping
 | |
|  - improved portability, makefiles and man page
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.5
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - palettes postprocessed with Voronoi iteration
 | |
|  - better RGBA color similarity algorithm and Floyd-Steinberg remapping
 | |
|  - SSE optimisations
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.4
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - median cut is applied many times in a feedback loop
 | |
|  - speed/quality trade-off option
 | |
|  - faster remap of transparent areas
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.3
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - significant changes to the algorithm: use of variance
 | |
|    to find largest dimensioin and to split most varying boxes
 | |
|  - use of premultiplied alpha for color blending
 | |
|  - conversion of output to gamma 2.2
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.2
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - color computation done in floating point
 | |
|  - gamma correction applied
 | |
|  - dropped support for very old systems & compilers
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 1.1
 | |
| -----------
 | |
|  - alpha-sensitive color reduction and dithering

|  - recompiled binaries with zlib 1.1.4
 | |
| 
 | |
| version 0.95
 | |
| ------------
 | |
|  - fixed Win32 filter bug (binary mode for stdin/stdout)
 | |
|  - fixed cosmetic "choosing colors" verbosity buglet
 | |
|  - fixed palette-size bug when number of colors in image < number requested
 | |
|  - fixed sample-depth bug (png_set_packing() not retroactively smart)
 | |
| 
 | |
