This version is provided to get developers' feedback (e.g. someone uses dropped document mode processing) and for testing purposes. Some features of 0.14 are missing and will be available in the next Alpha (see TODO section below).

Alpha1 is tested under Unix and Windows with usual large testing subset (about 350 RAW files). Changelog:

New LibRaw 0.14.6 available:

• Casio EX-Z500 support
• (possible) I/O exceptions on file open catched in open_datastream
• Fixed possible read-after-buffer in Sony ARW2 decoder
• Fixed mingw32 errors when compiling LibRaw_windows_datastream
• Makefile.msvc: support of OpenMP and LCMS (uncomment to use)
• Fixed decoding of some Leaf Aptus II files

• Fixes to Panasonic/Leica file parser to prevent crash on broken jpegs.
• Fixes to include order in src/libraw_datastream.cpp to better compile with KDEWIN
• Floating-point DNGs are rejected on early processing stage.
• Support for new cameras: Canon S100, Fuji X10, Panasonic GX1, Samsung NX200, Sony NEX-7.

• Fixed bug in Canon 1D and 1Ds files decoding.
• New decoder information bit DECODER_HASRAWCURVE

After three months of testing the LibRaw 0.14 is considered stable. This version is recommeded to use instead of LibRaw 0.13.

The most significant change of this version is multiple rendering (via LibRaw::dcraw_process() calls) of same RAW data without re-opening RAW file through the sequence of open()/unpack() calls. You should be able to change any processing parameters (except shot_select parameter) between dcraw_process() calls.

So, it is possible to implement near-realtime preview of entire image in half-resolution mode and realtime preview of selected area (e.g. around mouse pointer position) in full-resolution mode.
