LibRaw 0.6.0 considered stable. Changes from 0.6.0 Beta2

• dcraw 8.88 imported
  • new cameras (Canon 50D, Sony A900, Nikon D90 & P6000, Panasonic LX3 FZ28). Only A900 and D90 has ready color conversion tables, RAWS from other 4 cameras may produce slightly wrong colors.
  • new method of black point subtraction for Canon cameras, preliminary banding supression.
• Stack memory usage lowered (some thread data moved to dynamic memo ry)
• Some patches for MSVC compatibility

LibRaw 0.5.5 and 0.6.0-Beta2 have minor issues fixed:

• Enum definitions changed to make gcc -pedantic happy
• Compiler/preprocessor flags does not affects LibRaw class field set (i.e. structure for thread local storage is always allocated)
• Default library compilation mode (i.e. sources imported in another project) is thread-safe

LibRaw 0.6.0 Beta1 has lot of changes:

  Sample usage: samples/mem_image.cpp
• Added gamma-corrected 16-bit output.
• Added input/output ICC profiles via LCMS library.
• Added bad pixels map support (similar to dcraw)
• Added dark frame subtraction (similar to dcraw)
• samples/dcraw_emu supporrs icc profiles, bad pixels map and dark frame subtracton.
• New processing stages (in progress_flags): LIBRAW_PROGRESS_BAD_PIXELS LIBRAW_PROGRESS_DARK_FRAME
• Bug in adjust_sizes_info_only() fixed
• Supported camera list calls: cameraList()/cameraCount()
• LibRaw version info calls: version(), versionNumber(), LIBRAW_CHECK_VERSION().
• Callback functions interface changes: calling application may supply pointer to private callback data section. If so, callbacks will be called with this pointer passed.
