Release 6.1, 2014-10-23
- Compatibility with ffmpeg's implementation of libavcodec, and
libav-11 and later.
Release 6, 2014-08-19
- Use libav for both input and output of files, rather than custom
code. This adds support for many different input file formats
outside of PPM/PBM/PGM, as long as libav can reconduct them to a
pixel format that is implemented. Currently that includes most
versions of PNM, PNG and some variants of TIFF.
- PGM and PPM files with less-than-maximum pixel depth are now fully
supported. Previously they would have produced mostly white pages.
- Tests are now executed against the original PNG files rather than
through converted PGM/PPM, this drops the netpbm dependency on the
tests.
Release 5, 2013-06-28
- Implement mathematically accurate interpolation, using cubic
algorithm by default.
Release 0.4.2, 2012-06-22
- Fix regressions from 0.4.1 on multi-page processing.
- Add tests to make sure that multi-page processing works.
Release 0.4.1, 2012-06-20
- Source code split in multiple units to make it more manageable.
- Options parsing is now performed through getopt_long_only(); this
makes it compatible with the old parameters, while avoiding the
long-winded original parser.
- The --input-sequence and --output-sequence parameters have been
removed for ease of porting; man page describes the new input
and output file matching.
- Tests are executed with the new parallel harness for speed.
- Improved blurfilter by Felix Janda.
Release 0.4, 2011-10-08:
- New buildsystem, based on standard GNU autotools.
- Optimisation of source code to produce slimmer, faster binaries.
- The sources now compile using C99, and support GCC, Pathscale and
Clang compilers.
- Options are now documented in the unpaper(1) man page, rather than
in the code.
Release 0.3, 2007-12-31:
- Moved history-information to CHANGELOG-file.
- Two distribution archives become part of the release, one source-only
variant, and one binary-distribution for i386/Linux. Archive
unpaper-bin-0.3.tar.gz contains everything in unpaper-0.3.tar.gz, plus a
binary executable file in folder bin/.
- The final distribution packages are now created with a standard-tar via
shell execution. Older versions were tarred and gzipped by ANT 1.6.5's tar-
task, which had shown incompatibilities on some systems.
- Included a simple makefile make.sh. It runs with minimum requirements to the
compiler, while being configurable for particular optimizations via $CFLAGS.
- Common style distribution package naming and content-layout, following the
conventional patterns 'unpaper-0.x.tar.gz' for the archive file, which
contains a root folder 'unpaper-0.x' and files 'unpaper-0.x/*' (request/bug
#10793).
- Added --sheet-background option.
- Added --pre-shift and --post-shift options.
- Removed modes 'single-rotated' and 'double-rotated' for parameter --layout.
(The documentation was ambiguous and the functionality can better be achieved
using --pre-rotate in combination with --layout single or --layout double.)
The default layout mode is 'single' now, the old behaviour, when no --layout
option was specified, can be achieved using --layout none.
- Corrected some language flaws in the documentation. Thanks to Martin Collins.
- Renamed Readme.txt and License.txt to more common README and LICENSE.
- Fixed bug #11294: leading zeros in width/height values of pnm-files no longer
cause problems.
- Fixed bug #9495: resizing/stretching of color-images now works.
- Fixed bug #7882: --pre-mirror h,v now correct when vertical resolution is odd
Release 0.2, 2006-05-09:
- Version number fallback to 0.2 (instead of counting up to 1.2). This better
reflects the current development status and appears more suitable in an
open-source context.
- User documentation with several explaining diagrams added, see file
'doc/index.html'.
- Color support added. Files of type PPM can be read, processed and written
now. By default, unpaper uses the same image format for the output file as
has been read from an input file, i.e. if your input is PPM, the output will
be PPM automatically, if the input is PGM, the output will be PGM etc. Use
parameter --type pbm|pgm|ppm to force an output file format independently
from the input file format.
- Better image rotation implementation. Auto-rotation of pages is now done
much faster.
- The --cache option became obsolete (due to new image rotation
implementation).
- The compiler-switch -DNOSINCOS became obsolete (due to new image rotation
implementation). It is no longer needed for compilation on some platforms.
- Changed to gcc version 4.1 for creating the Linux binary included in the
distribution archive. gcc 4.1's executable appears to be about 20% faster
than the one created with gcc 3.3.6.
- Added '-fomit-frame-pointer' and '-ftree-vectorize' to compiler options.
(Thanks to Olaf Marzocchi for the hint about -ftree-vectorize.)
- Fix: the first pixel of an image is now correctly read (was read wrong in
previous versions).
- Minor fixes.
Release 1.1, 2005-08-27:
- Single-page input sheets can now be joined to make 2-page output sheets.
See options --input-pages [1|2] and --output-pages [1|2].
- Multiple input and output filename patterns can now be specified using the
options --input-file-sequence and --output-file-sequence.
- Blank pages or sheets can be inserted into the sequence of input sheets
using --insert-blank and/or --replace-blanks,
- Zooming and stretching are now supported, see --stretch, --zoom and
--post-stretch, --post-zoom.
- The sheet size can be set while keeping the content's aspect ratio (and
centering it with best-fitting on the sheet) using --size and --post-size.
For changing the sheet size without performing any stretching/zooming of
content use --sheet-size.
- Faster rotation when deskewing images. The rotating algorithm has been
optimized to run up to 4 times faster than before. Additional speedup
may be achieved by caching intermediate results of trigonometric calculations
when processing multiple page. This caching uses a lot of memory, it
can be enabled using the --cache switch.
- Rotation detection can now be configured to start at individual edges
of the area to process. The parameter --deskew-scan-direction no longer
takes v[ertical],h[orizontal] as values, but now l[eft],t[op],r[ight],
b[ottom]. The default is 'l,r', which matches the previous version's
default 'horizontal'.
- The behaviour of the 'double' template, used with the --layout parameter
by specifying "--layout double", has been changed slightly. The input
images are no longer assumed to be rotated by 90 degrees, as they would
be when scanned from paper with a usual ADF-scanner.
That means, "--layout double" no longer implies "--pre-rotate 90" and
"--post-rotate 90". To get the layout-template behaving as in earlier
versions, use "--layout double-rotated", this behaves like the old
"--layout double".
- --border-align --border-margin allow to align page content heading towards
one edge, but keeping a specified distance margin.
- Using the new parameter --blackfilter-scan-exclude [l,t,r,b], areas can
be specified on which the blackfilter will not work. This is useful to
exclude the blackfilter from working on inner page content, e.g. to
protect images with larger dark parts from deletion.
Note that the --layout option may preset some blackfilter-scan-exclude
masks.
- The speed of the noisefilter has been optimized a bit.
- The default --mask-scan-step value has been changed from 10 to 5, which
should sometimes lead to better mask-area detection.
- The default --deskew-scan-depth value has been changed from 0.66 to 0.5,
should sometimes lead to better rotation detection.
- The default --black-treshold value has been changed from 0.5 to 0.33,
which should give a better looking, more saturated result when converting
grayscale images to black-and-white mode.
- Existing output files will no longer be overwritten by default. If an
output file to be written already exists, the program terminates with an
error instead. Overwriting can be allowed using the --overwrite switch.
- Fix: Setting the parameter --pre-rotate or --post-rotate to 0 will no
longer issue a useless warning message.
- Tested on MacOS X, additional compilation instructions for MacOS have been
added to the documentation.
- Tested on SPARC Solaris.
- Compiler switch -DNOSINCOS disables use of the sincos() function, which
preserves compatibility with math libraries that do not provide this
function.
Release 1.0.1, 2005-03-14:
- Syntax cleanups, better ANSI-C compatibility to solve some compiler issues.
Using the -pedantic compiler switch, only warnings with intended origin are
still issued.
- Minor changes to the usage-info.
Release 1.0, 2005-03-01:
- Initial release.
