| TNGImage v1.2alpha released | 2002-10-07 |
|
I've released a preliminary version of the upcoming 1.2 version of TNGImage. TNGImage is a native Delphi (and now also Kylix) component that uses the standard libmng.dll (or libmng.so) to display PNG/JNG and MNGs, and can also create PNGs and JNGs (with or without alpha-channel). You can find a download link in the download section. | |
| Website changes | 2002-10-06 |
| I've added a specific Windows? section to the site with links to Windows binaries. The download section has been changed a little so it's easier to get to the libmng source and related binary distributions. | |

| MNGsuite extended | 2002-09-26 |
|
The MNGsuite, a test-suite for MNG decoders, has been extended to allow testing of extended MNG support in libmng and other such libraries (yeah right :). New samples were added to test special MNG features such as BACK image&tile, PAST operations, MAGN and all variations of delta-images including varying bit_depth/color_type and PROM support. MNGsuite | |
| libmng 1.0.5 beta1 released | 2002-09-24 |

New is 'dynamic' MNG. The Delphi sample 'mngview' was adapted to show the use of this new feature. And a simplified Kylix port of said sample was added. This version also contains a few other new functions/contributions and fixes all bugs reported on SourceForge and to me personally. The full changelog is available below the downloads! | |

| Illuminatus Opus & MNG / Fix Animation Shop MNGs | 2002-08-19 |

I've just learned today that Illuminatus Opus by Digital Workshop contains MNG read/display support. Opus is a tool that allows one to create very high class presentations. MNG support has been available since version 2001B, which was released September 6th 2001. And thanks to Duncan Lilly of the formentioned company, there's now also a little Windows-tool (called FixMNG) that will allow you to fix the buggy MNG files that JASC's Animation Shop will produce. | |
