Changes in version 1.0a5, 2003-11-24
====================================

* Copying and resizing
    #image#copy             <-> gdImageCopy
    #image#copy_resized     <-> gdImageCopyResized
    #image#copy_resampled   <-> gdImageCopyResampled
    #image#copy_rotated     <-> gdImageCopyRotated
    #image#copy_merge       <-> gdImageCopyMerge
    #image#copy_merge_gray  <-> gdImageCopyMergeGray
    #image#palette_copy      <-> gdImagePaletteCopy

* Added tests for all above functions


Changes in version 1.0a4, 2003-08-21
====================================

* TrueType font support
    #image#string_ftex  <-> gdImageStringFTEx
    ftex_bbox           <-> gdImageStringFTEx (with null gdImagePtr)
  - This is a partial implementation! gdImageStringFTEx does two
    important things: render multiline text blocks, and render multi-
    byte character strings (e.g. Chinese & Japanese). The C wrapper
    should support both of these functions, but the OCaml function
    currently requires a normal OCaml string, which means ASCII. So
    we need to figure out how to integrate Unicode support to the
    OCaml code.

* ft_bbox & ftex_bbox are now global functions, rather than methods
    of the image class. This way you can size your text before you
    create an image.

* Added test for #image#string_ftex

* Added SAFER compile flag to enable safer execution (with a potential
  loss in performance).


Changes in version 1.0a3, 2003-08-11
====================================

* TrueType font support
    #image#string_ft    <-> gdImageStringFT
    #image#ft_bbox      <-> gdImageStringFT (with null gdImagePtr)

* Continued improvements in test program.


Changes in version 1.0a2, 2003-08-05
====================================

* New drawing methods:
    #image#closed_arc    <-> gdImageFilledArc
    #image#closed_chord  <-> gdImageFilledArc
* New property settings:
    #image#set_antialiased_dont_blend
        <-> gdImageSetAntiAliasedDontBlend
    #image#set_brush     <-> gdImageSetBrush
    #image#set_tiled     <-> gdImageSetTile
    #image#set_thickness <-> gdImageSetThickness
    #image#set_clip      <-> gdImageSetClip
* Truecolor images now supported:
    create_truecolor to create new truecolor image; also,
    open_png now tests for truecolor.
* Changed implementation of color type from class to record.
* More improvements in test program.


Changes in version 1.0a1, 2003-08-04 (vs. OCamlGD 0.7)
======================================================

* Implemented new drawing methods:
    #image#filled_ellipse <-> gdImageFilledEllipse
    #image#polygon <-> gdImagePolygon
    #image#filled_polygon <-> gdImageFilledPolygon
* Corrected errors in C wrapper drawing functions:
    ml_image_rect and ml_image_frect drew diagonal lines instead
    of rectangles. Fixed.
* Implemented antialiasing:
    #image#set_antialiased to set antialias color
    #color#allocator#antialiased to retrieve antialiased color
* New Makefile uses Findlib
    (saved old Makefile as Makefile.orig)
* Added API cross-reference showing status of all API functions:
    see 'doc/api-xref.html'.
* New test program ('gdtest.ml') exercises the following functions:
    create
    #image#colors
    #color_allocator#white
    #color_allocator#create
    #image#set_antialiased
    #color_allocator#antialiased
    #image#rectangle
    #image#filled_rectangle
    #image#polygon
    #image#filled_polygon
    #image#arc
    #image#filled_ellipse
    #image#string
    #image#save_as_png
    #image#save_as_jpeg
    #image#out_as_png
    #image#out_as_jpeg
* Removed overly-obvious comments in gd.mli.
