Version 0.7.3

Improvements:

• GIF creation now uses 144-color palettes
• Scaler now uses Lanczos rather than Bicubic B=1, C=0 scaling
• Moved downloads from http://thebombzen.github.io to https://thebombzen.com/ and they should work again.
• Reworked Build System (i.e. internal stuff)
• Internal Library Restructuring (i.e. internal stuff)
• Various other internal changes

Known Issues:

• Occasionally the "inaccurate screenshot seeking" bug returns
• When fullsize works, it should be used, but it's not. If you run into this issue then just uncheck "maximum required size" but this is still a bug I have to fix.

Future Plans:

• Timestamps on the sliders will make finding the location easier
• Allow setting the width/height rather than doing a binary search
• Allow 1/3 the framerate

Thanks for testing:
Noah Rae-Grant, Gregory Lockwood, Seth Izen, Maryssa Lyons, and Mauricio Rivas.

Version 0.7.2

Improvements:

• Ctrl+O and Ctrl+Q hotkeys now exist for Open/Quit
• GIF creation now uses 96-color palettes and a bayer scale of 3 to improve filesize-efficiency
• gifsicle used to losslessly improve filesize (only Linux and Windows, not macOS, unless you install it yourself)
• Screenshots are delivered asynchronously so they're much faster (again!)
• Internal Resource Restructuring (for future development ease)
• Open Sans is now an "optional" package

Known Issues:

• Occasionally the "inaccurate screenshot seeking" bug returns
• When fullsize works, it should be used, but it's not. If you run into this issue then just uncheck "maximum required size" but this is still a bug I have to fix.

Version 0.7.1

Improvements:

• GIF creation is much more size-efficient (at the cost of a slight amount of visual quality)
• Screenshots should be accurate now (I hope)
• Renamed the local data directory from .tumblgififier to tumblgififier (without dot). On Linux it's additionally moved from ~/ to ~/.config/
• Updated ffv1 pixel format to bgr0 - should have less loss and fewer pixel format bugs
• Various internal changes and bug fixes
• Packaged LICENSE with the built jarfile

Known Issues:

• When fullsize works, it should be used, but it's not. If you run into this issue then just uncheck "maximum required size" but this is still a bug I have to fix.

Version 0.7.0

Improvements:

• Screenshot Caching
• Improved framerate halving
• Improved text overlaying
• Improved FFmpeg backend calls
• Better CLI compatibility (you can scan a file directly by passing it as the first argument)
• Some bug fixes

Notable issues:

• Screenshots are less accurate than before (although have much better performance) - make sure you preview in slow-mode first.
