ImageUltimate v6.0.1

Version 6.0.1 - August 9, 2024

• Improved: Instead of mysterious BadImageFormatException when loading native DLLs, this explanatory
  exception will be thrown until we support ARM architecture:

• ASP.NET Core (C#) - Visual Studio 2019+
• ASP.NET Core on .NET Framework (C#)- Visual Studio 2017+

ImageUltimate v5.8.0

Version 5.8.0 - April 2, 2023

• Added: Implemented GleamTech.Drawing namespace to replace System.Drawing.
  Starting with .NET 6, System.Drawing.Common is not supported on non-Windows platforms,
  so dropped dependency to System.Drawing.Common package
  for GleamTech.ImageUltimate and GleamTech.Common:

  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Image class which
    • Can load and save file formats Jpg, Png, Gif, WebP, Bmp, Tga, Pbm, Tiff
    • Can handle multi-frame Tiff and Gif images
    • Can resize, crop, rotate, flip, clone, import/export pixel data, draw text, provide detailed image info
    • Can be explicitly cast from/to (via cast operator or via extension methods) other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing.Image
      SixLabors.ImageSharp.Image
      SkiaSharp.SKBitmap, SkiaSharp.SKImage
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Platform.PlatformImage
  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Color struct which
    • Can convert from/to html color codes #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA (or short codes #RGB or #RGBA)
    • Can convert from/to named colors
    • Can be implicitly (automatically) cast from/to other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Color
      SixLabors.ImageSharp.Color, SixLabors.ImageSharp.PixelFormats
      SkiaSharp.SKColor
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Color
  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Font class which
    • Can be implicitly (automatically) cast from/to other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Font
      SixLabors.Fonts.Font
      SkiaSharp.SKFont
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Font
  • Also implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Rectangle and GleamTech.Drawing.Size structs.

• Changed: Parameter and return type from System.Drawing.Bitmap to GleamTech.Drawing.Image
  for ImageTask, ImageInfo constructors and some methods.
  Renamed ImageTask.SaveAsBitmap to SaveAsGleamTechDrawingImage
  You can also use the new extension method ToSystemDrawingBitmap on returned values but it's recommended that
  you adjust your code for the new GleamTech.Drawing.Image class which is very similar.

• Changed: Renamed ImageInfoBase.DpiX to ResolutionX and ImageInfoBase.DpiY to ResolutionY
  and ensured returned value is converted to pixels per inch (and return 96 by default - if no metadata or if it's read as 0).

• Added: An Action parameter named "configure" to UseGleamTech. It's more neat to set GleamTech products
  related configuration in callback and it has better timing for especially web configuration:

  app.UseGleamTech(() =>
  {
  	GleamTechConfiguration.Current.LogEnabled = true;
  
  	ImageUltimateConfiguration.Current.LicenseKey = "QQJDJLJP34...";
  });

• Improved: ExampleExplorer:

  • Added "show system information" button on the top-right corner to display system information in a message box.
  • Show error messages for server handler methods.
  • Refresh page automatically when session is expired.

Included example projects:

• ASP.NET Core (C#) - Visual Studio 2019+
• ASP.NET Core on .NET Framework (C#)- Visual Studio 2017+
• ASP.NET MVC (C#) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET MVC (VB) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET WebForms (C#) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET WebForms (VB) - Visual Studio 2015+
