FreeImage 3.10.0 released
Release 3.10.0 comes with two new HDR formats, JPEG2000 and OpenEXR, as well as the now famous 'Fattal tone mapping algorithm'.
To Linux users: the library now make use of the gcc 'visibility' option, so that previous incompatibilities reported with some libraries such as GTK should now belong to the past.
What else ?
This release brings some new palette and color manipulation functions as well as numerous bug fixes reported by our users. Lastly, the library has been updated with the new libtiff (3.9.0), libpng (1.2.23), OpenEXR (1.6.1) and OpenJPEG (1.2.0) libraries. FreeImage is also distributed with an updated VB6/VBA wrapper.
As usual, check the changes log for full details (especially for bug fixes) and check also the updated FreeImage documentation.
