LibRaw 0.11 Beta4 is avaliable for download and testing

Changes are:

  • Fixed bug in exception throwing in OpenMP AHD code.
  • LibRaw I/O is now C++ iostreams based instead of old FILE* interface. So multithreaded apps using LibRaw are about 1.5 times faster on unpack() stage under Linux and up to 3x times faster under Win32.

Changes list (from 0.11 Beta2):

  • AHD interpolation is refactored and now works much faster, especially with OpenMP on multicore systems.
  • Some minor changes to make Visual Studio 2003 more happy.

LibRaw 0.11 Beta2

Submitted by lexa on

All-new LibRaw 0.11 Beta2 is avaliable for developers

Changes list, in short (from 0.10.0):

  • It is now possible to crop output image on postprocessing stage (dcraw_process). Coordinates and size of the output box are set via imgdata.params.cropbox[4] parameter. Look into LibRaw documentation for more details.
  • Processing pipeline has changed: the black level is subtracted from data on postprocessing stage either automatically (on dcraw_process() stage) or by special LibRaw API call:
  • New ./configure script. Use ./configure -h for usage details.
  • New API cals static LibRaw::dcraw_clear_mem() (C++ API) and libraw_dcraw_clear_mem(..) (C API). This calls are used to free memory, allocated by dcraw_make_mem_image() and dcraw_make_mem_thumb() instead of free() call.
  • Many minor changes and bugfixes:
  • all client code should be recompiled due to structures size change

Look into version's changelog for more details.
