6.1.0

Pixie 6.1.0

This release expands image decoding coverage, adds base64 helpers, hardens several malformed-input paths, and modernizes the project/test setup.

Highlights

• Added pixie/imagebase64 with Image.encodeBase64() and decodeBase64() support for raw base64 image data and data:*;base64,... URLs. These helpers are also exposed through the bindings.
• Expanded ImageTestSuite-backed decoder coverage for GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, including improved JPEG handling, fuller PNG/TIFF coverage, optional decoded image outputs, and QOI sRGB colorspace handling.
• Hardened malformed input handling for GIF background color indexes, OpenType composite glyph recursion, truncated or invalid PPM payloads, TIFF color map bounds, and default palettes for indexed BMPs.
• Modernized project structure and CI for Nim 2+, refreshed dependency floors, moved the test runner to tests/tests.nim, and runs tests across Ubuntu, Windows, macOS, and the C++ backend.
• Fixed the bindings export for the string overload of decodeImageDimensions.
