+ and more detailed list of changes, please see the log.txt file.</h3>
+ <h1>[V1.5.0 -&gt; V1.5.1] 8th March 2013</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fix spectro/instlib.ksh and standalone instlib build.</li>
+ <li>Turned off debug plot on using FWA.</li>
+ <li>Changed link $(LINKFLAGS) location in link command line
+ Jambase to get latest gcc working.</li>
+ <li>Fixed new bug in matrix display profile creation that causes
+ an inaccurate relative white point. This causes Photoshop to
+ barf on the profiles.</li>
+ <li>Added -m option to printcal.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in webwin that causes crash.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.4.0 -&gt; V1.5.0] 1st March 2013</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Increased ease of selecting ISO 13655:2009 M0, M1 and M2
+ measurements using FWA comensation using any spectrometer that
+ can take non-UV filtered measurements. M0, M1 or M2 can now be
+ selected directly using the -f flag. [ArgyllCMS has been
+ supporting ISO 13655 M0, M1 &amp; M2 well before the standard
+ was created, thanks to its FWA compensation feature.]<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Increased stability of i1d3 refresh display measurements by
+ increasing integration time, and tweaking crossover from
+ frequency to period measurement.</li>
+ <li>Added i1pro Rev E (i1pro2) feature support. Uses RevE
+ measurement mode, and does wavelength calibration. Uses RevE
+ (internal) stray light reduction, and black level temperature
+ compensation. The only Rev E feature not currently supported is
+ U.V. measurement, which would improve the accuracy of FWA
+ compensation. Rev E driver can be disabled and the legacy driver
+ mode used by setting the ARGYLL_DISABLE_I1PRO2_DRIVER
+ environment variable.</li>
+ <li>Changed i1pro adaptive mode to avoid high gain mode, so as to
+ give more consistent and longer integration times for low light
+ levels.</li>
+ <li>Changed ColorMunki adaptive mode to avoid high gain mode, so
+ as to give more consistent and longer integration times for low
+ levels. Added black level temperature compensation.</li>
+ <li>Added spotread interactive function 'f' to read out the
+ calibrate display refresh rate for instruments that have a
+ refresh display mode, as well as an 'F' function that measures
+ the refresh rate for instruments that support a refresh rate
+ measurement function (colorimeters &amp; spectrometers).</li>
+ <li>The Display Type selection option -y in dispcal, dispread,
+ chartread, spotread &amp; ccxxmake now lists installed CCSS and
+ CCMX files as a selection, rather than using the -X parameter.
+ CCMX and CCSS files now have extra fields to indicate the
+ refresh mode, an optional list of default UI selection
+ characters, and (for CCMX files) the base display type they
+ apply over (CB-n).<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Tweaked CIECAM02 to improve behavior for extreme blue colors,
+ so that the hue doesn't swing too far towards the cyan. This
+ helps in the clipping behavior from colorspaces such as
+ ProPhotoRGB.</li>
+ <li>Made the input profile cLUT extra neutral axis extrapolation
+ points the default for colprof -u and non -u profiles. Changed
+ -u algorithm to work similarly to -U scale :- it sets the scale
+ automatically. Relative colorimetric is therefore hue matched to
+ the white reference patch, Removed colprof -un, as it seems
+ unnecessary. Added colprof -uc, which clips cLUT colors over Y =
+ 1 to white.</li>
+ <li>The spyd2en, spyd4en and i1d3ccss tools have been combined
+ into, and replaced by a single oeminst tool.</li>
+ <li>Fix problem with dispwin/dispcal/dispread -dweb and the latest
+ Safari browser.</li>
+ <li>Changed to a single ArgyllCMS.inf file for MSWin USB driver
+ installation. This eases installation of more than a single type
+ of instrument. Tested on MS Windows 8 and updated installation
+ instructions.</li>
+ <li>Dropped libusb for USB access, using native USB access
+ instead. MSWin uses the libusb-win32 kernel driver. Moved the
+ usb setup files from libusb1 to a new directory, usb.</li>
+ <li>Added scanin support for ColorCheckerPassort.</li>
+ <li>Updated OS X code to compile on 10.6 and 10.7 and (presumably)
+ 10.8 (64 bit compatible API used when compiling on those
+ platforms, including Cocoa for the test patch window).<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Changed udev file usb/55-Argyll.rules to eliminate the test
+ for /lib/udev/udev-acl as a condition of using ACL_MANAGE, since
+ I'm informed that it is deprecated in recent distribution
+ releases (but who can tell, given the churn in the udev API).</li>
+ <li>Deprecated -V flag (adaptive mode) in dispcal, dispread and
+ ccxxmake, since this is now the default. Flag will be ignored
+ with a warning. Added -ZA flag instead, to select non-adaptive
+ integration time mode.</li>
+ <li>spotread -d flag is deprecated, and is now a synonym for the
+ -e flag, since it defaults to adaptive mode. Added -ZA flag
+ instead, to select non-adaptive integration time mode. Also
+ added -Zr and -ZR flags to allow testing of the refresh mode
+ overrides.</li>
+ <li>Migrated ArgyllCMS specific application runtime files (such as
+ instrument blobs, calibration state &amp; calibration files) to
+ an "ArgyllCMS" sub-directory rather than the generic "color"
+ directory. On OS X also moved data files to below the
+ "Application Support" sub directory. The old locations will be
+ used as a fallback.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added support for Quato Silver Haze 3 OEM i1d3<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added support for X-Rite ColorMunki Smile colorimeter.</li>
+ <li>Enable the ColorHug by default, although it isn't advertised
+ as supported, since it doesn't yet work reliably on OS X.
+ Updated ColorHug PCI VID &amp; PID</li>
+ <li>For Spyder, emit a warning rather than error if the feature
+ bits are missing for calibration tables.</li>
+ <li>Added automatic adjustment of patch reading delay for i1d3, so
+ that a more conservative (longer) default value (200 msec) can
+ be used without impacting i1d3 speed. Also added environment
+ variable ARGYLL_MIN_DISPLAY_UPDATE_DELAY_MS that can set a
+ different minimum update delay.</li>
+ <li>Fixed a bug introduced in V1.3.6 that stops the dtp41 from
+ being initialized properly.</li>
+ <li>Improved black level readings derived from spectral values by
+ allowing them to be -ve. <br>
+ </li>
+ <li>The instlib API has been modified quite extensively to make it
+ more self contained and flexible, although the basic
+ architecture remains the same.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.7 -&gt; V1.4.0] 20th April 2012</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Modified spectro/ccxxmake so that a colorimeter can be used as
+ a reference to make ccmx files if two .ti3 files are used. Added
+ ref/ccxx.ti1 as convenient way of creating ccmx .ti3 files.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added dither/screening support for 8 bit output of render, and
+ then made it available in target/printtarg.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added JPEG file support to imdi/cctiff, xicc/tiffgamut and
+ xicc/extracticc. ICC profiles embedded in JPEG files can now be
+ used anywhere a TIFF file with embedded ICC profile can be used
+ as a source of an ICC profile.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fixed memory leaks in usbio.c, xdg_bds.c &amp; conv.c</li>
+ <li>Fixed double memory free bug in icc/icc.c when iccdump'ing a
+ profile that has a duplicate tag.</li>
+ <li>Changed license of xicc/ccmx.[ch] to GPL2+.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Made display calibration and profile making deal with displays
+ without hardware calibration support (VideoLUT support) more
+ graceful. Added tutorial section covering this.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added option to dispwin/dispcal/dispread/ccxxmake to redirect
+ the test patches to a web browser via a local web server. This
+ augments Argyll's existing local and remote display capability.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in spectro/i1d3.c which results in NAN if a low
+ level readings drops to zero at a particular time. Improved
+ refresh rate calibration accuracy. Fixed bugs in adaptive
+ measurement logic that caused a channel to be pre-measured when
+ it shouldn't. This seems to noticeably improve repeatability on
+ refresh displays.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in ucmm/jcnf where it was failing to locate the
+ correct profile for a display.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fix bugs in ColorMunki Transmissive measurement mode
+ calibration.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.6 -&gt; V1.3.7] 26th March 2012</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fix regression in Spyder support - ccmx files were not being
+ handled (bug introduced in 1.3.6).</li>
+ <li>Fix packaging problem - Spyder4 MSWin .inf file was missing.</li>
+ <li>Change dispwin so that it will install a profile when there is
+ no access to the display VideoLUT if the profile has no vcgt.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.5 -&gt; V1.3.6] 19th March 2012<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Added Spyder4 support. Note the need for spyd4en for access to
+ a full range of Manufacturers calibrations. The Spyder4 can use
+ .ccss calibration files too. Speeded up all Spyder instrument
+ readings on brighter colors.</li>
+ <li>Experimental ColorHug support is compiled in, but is disabled
+ unless the environment variable "ENABLE_COLORHUG" is set. The
+ ColorHug currently doesn't seem to work reliably across all
+ platforms ArgyllCMS supports.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Changed and expanded display selection (-y flag) to be
+ instrument specific. This is to support the Spyder4 and
+ ColorHug, and adds a refresh display selection to the i1d3.</li>
+ <li>Tweaked i1d3 integration times and added accurate refresh
+ period calibration to the refresh display mode. Refresh display
+ measurement times are double non-refresh displays. Improved i1d3
+ period measurement logic to improve measurement speed and
+ accuracy for dark colors.</li>
+ <li>Changed i1disp measurement logic to try and make it more
+ robust against light to dark changes during a reading. This may
+ make it slightly less precise for LCD displays on bright colors
+ (equivalent now to Refresh display precision).<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added a -V option to spotread to allow tracking reading
+ consistency.</li>
+ <li>Changed ccxxmake to create default .ccss with just&nbsp; RGBW,
+ and not to weight W. This may give better matching. Made
+ corresponding change to CCMX, giving the white patch 1/4
+ weighting of sum of all other patches.</li>
+ <li>Fixed applycal so that it applies calibration to both A2B and
+ B2A tables, to preserve softproofing.</li>
+ <li>Fixed timeout in SpectroScanT reference transmission
+ measurement. (Someone kindly donated me a SpectroScanT to test
+ with!)</li>
+ <li>Made DTP94 driver ignore with a warning any
+ NEEDS_OFFSET_DRIFT_CAL_ERR after a full reset. It seems that
+ occasionally a few instruments do this, and X-Rite don't appear
+ to be prepared to treat this as an instrument fault.</li>
+ <li>Added support for Datacolor SpyderCheckr (Thanks to Jos
+ Pereira).</li>
+ <li>Improved the ability of spyd2en to cope with slightly
+ different setup.exe formats.</li>
+ <li>Add support for NEC SpectraSensor Pro version of the i1d3.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.4 -&gt; V1.3.5] 24th October 2011</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fix bug (crash) that affects ColorMunki design/photo display
+ measurement. This also stops it restoring a calibration (-N
+ flag).</li>
+ <li>Add support for the OEM version of the i1d3.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug that stopped ccxxmake being able to make ccmx's.</li>
+ <li>Tweak gamut mapping to improve dark area mapping,
+ non-monotonic profile inversion, and contrast preservation to
+ small gamut.</li>
+ <li>Kill i1ProfileTray.exe process if unable to open i1d3 on
+ MSWin.</li>
+ <li>Fix DTP20 chart printing - TID was sometimes incomplete. This
+ shows up on a 4x6 chart.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.3 -&gt; V1.3.4] 31st August 2011</h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Added support for the X-Rite i1 Display Pro and ColorMunki
+ Display colorimeters. As part of this, added support for CCSS
+ calibration files for the instruments and added CCSS support to
+ ccxxmake (renamed from ccmxmake). Provide new tool i1d3ccss to
+ translating and installing CCSS files as well as the
+ manufacturers calibration files for these instruments. Added
+ non-default observer support for these instruments too.</li>
+ <li>Fix gamut code to ignore setting primary/secondary cusps that
+ are unlikely to be true. This avoids buggy gamut mapping
+ behavior for gamuts that are very small and odd shaped.</li>
+ <li>Changed Linux USB code to avoid doing a
+ set_configuration&nbsp; if possible, since the USB driver does
+ this by default. This then avoids triggering a bug in the
+ Spyder2, which allows it to work on Linux version without the
+ reset_ep fix, and may also allow the Spyder to work better with
+ USB hubs.</li>
+ <li>Change printtarg for DTP20 to allow for variable patch size.</li>
+ <li>Changed dummy display matrix table to have channels rotated
+ rather than R &amp; G swapped, to make it more obvious.</li>
+ <li>Added option to colprof to allow setting the default profile
+ rendering intent.</li>
+ <li>Enhanced spectro/fakeread so that it will process a .ti3 file
+ that has been renamed to .ti1.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in matrix input profile white point selection, + add
+ in slight neutral bias code used in clut profiles.</li>
+ <li>New profcheck -I wasn't working - fix option parsing.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.2 -&gt; V1.3.3] 13th May 2011</h1>
+ <ul>
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed compiler dependant bug in Eye-One pro and (possibly)
+ Munki high res. spectral wavelength calculation.</li>
+ <li>Add support for install variables DESTDIR and PREFIX in
+ Jamtop. These can be set on the command line using "jam -s"</li>
+ <li>Added targen -N parameter to allow adjustment of neutral axis
+ patch density emphasis, as well as increasing the default. This
+ should improve the result without needing to add explicit grey
+ test patches.</li>
+ <li>Added spectro/instlib.ksh script to assemble all the files
+ needed for a standalone instrument library. Changed licence to
+ GPLv2 for the files included in the instlib.zip file that is
+ thus created. See spectro/instlib.txt for more details.</li>
+ <li>Fix Jambase so that recent MingW compilers don't need extra
+ .dll's</li>
+ <li>Change Linux serial code to test ports using O_NONBLOCK</li>
+ <li>Modify xspect &amp; illumread to improve realism of UV
+ spectrum estimation.</li>
+ <li>Fixed profile/txt2ti3 so that a sample name that looks like an
+ integer is treated as text. (Fixes problem with latest
+ ProfileMaker file).</li>
+ <li>Added LCh option to spotread.</li>
+ <li>Fixed numerical issue in scanin/scanrd.c, where large input
+ rasters would cause fitting to fail.</li>
+ <li>Modified colprof input chart white patch detection to slightly
+ favour patches that are close to D50 neutral.</li>
+ <li>Increase the default XYZ PCS A2B profile default smoothness.</li>
+ <li>Improved cLUT input -u black &amp; white&nbsp; point
+ extrapolation.</li>
+ <li>Improved black point determination for devices that have
+ extremely narrow gamuts doe to the use of custom inks.</li>
+ <li>Added -Z option to colprof, to allow setting ICC attribute
+ flags.</li>
+ <li>Fix CIECAM02 to better match forward and backwards, to fix
+ perceptual table white point.</li>
+ <li>Add code to override X-Rite's new OS X drivers for ColorMunki
+ and EyeOne. Note new installation instructions
+ &lt;http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/Installing_OSX.html&gt;.</li>
+ <li>Added -R flag to colprof, which restricts the range of the
+ white, black for better compatibility with other programs.</li>
+ <li>Fixed typo bug that prevented flash measurement mode from
+ working.</li>
+ <li>Replaced spectro/average with a new version that is more
+ general.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in printcal not working with spectral only files.</li>
+ <li>Added extra verbose output to printcal in which it computes an
+ ideal power-like value to apply to the test chart values in
+ targen.</li>
+ <li>Modify the way that XYZ cLUT B2A tables are indexed, so that
+ the white point is at the top corner of the grid.This should
+ solve Photoshop CS4/CS5 complaining that XYZ LUT profiles are
+ 'defective'.</li>
+ <li>Added option in xicc/xicclu to plot an arbitrary slice.</li>
+ <li>Expand the number of i1 Display OEM devices that can be used.</li>
+ <li>Made some changes to help compile on FreeBSD.</li>
+ <li>Added another intent, "pa", Perceptual Appearance, which is
+ the same as perceptual except that the grey axes are not forced
+ into alignment, allowing the appearance parameters to have full
+ affect, including altering the chromatic mapping.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in txt2ti3 - it wasn't creating an iRGB colorspace
+ file for output device RGB files, causing warnings warnings and
+ failures when mixed with other iRGB tool sequences. </li>
+ <li>Added pathological case fix for target/ofps where the ink
+ limit == di-2. </li>
+ <li>targen was failing to proceed when fixed points happened to be
+ numerically just over the total ink limit.</li>
+ <li>Added more navigation options for chartread patch by patch
+ mode.</li>
+ <li>&nbsp;Fixed bug in "chartread -r -H" that caused resume of
+ i1Pro high res to fail with "The resumed spectral type seems to
+ have changed".</li>
+ <li>Modified profcheck so that it prints patch location if it is
+ present in the .ti3 file.</li>
+ <li>Changed dispcal and dispread -K option to -J. Added -K option
+ to dispcal as an alternate way of profiling a calibrated
+ display, and also added a -K option to dispcal. </li>
+ <li>Increased ColorMunki emissive auto scaling target "over"
+ margin from 5% to 10% to allow more room for instrument drift
+ during measurement.</li>
+ <li>&nbsp;Fix bug in winusb + i1Display, where dark CRT
+ measurements timeout.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.1 -&gt; V1.3.2] 4th November 2010<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Turn off debugging that was accidentally left on in FWA code.
+ Add gcc 3.3 PPC optimizer bug workaround to FWA code in
+ xicc/xspect.c</li>
+ <li>Change shaper/matrix profile back to using power curve as 0th
+ order shape. Improve it with input &amp; output offsets and
+ straight segment at zero. Make cLUT input -u black &amp; white
+ point extrapolation use pure shaper curves with special tweaks.</li>
+ <li>Increase dispcal native white target weighting from 10 to 50
+ to encourage white to be device 1.0,1.0,1.0 more strongly.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.3.0 -&gt; V1.3.1] 26th October 2010<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed MSWIN Vista/Win7 problem where having Task Manager
+ running would stop display test window updating. Also fixed plot
+ library to avoid the same problem.</li>
+ <li>Swapped dispwin -E and -D flags, to make -D debug consistent
+ throughout tools.</li>
+ <li>Changed the ARGYLL_NOT_INTERACTIVE mode so that all return and
+ line feed characters are ignored, so that they can be used
+ freely to flush stdin without triggering anything.</li>
+ <li>Fixed endless loop problem with chartread -r -p on fully read
+ chart.</li>
+ <li>Added -S option to chartread, that suppresses wrong strip and
+ unexpected value warnings.</li>
+ <li>Fix dispcal and spotread so that color temperature takes into
+ account any non-standard observer (ie. the color temperature is
+ the closest point on the spectrum locus as determined by the
+ chosen observers interpretation of the Plancian or daylight
+ spectrum.)</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in libusb1 triggered on systems that support bulk
+ continuation (Linux)</li>
+ <li>Added 1964_10c observer to spectro/dispcal, to better allow
+ comparison to the default numbers.</li>
+ <li>Added recognition for Huey built into Lenovo W series Laptops.</li>
+ <li>Fixed chartread/dispsup/spotread etc. so that -N isn't fatal
+ if the instrument doesn't support it.</li>
+ <li>Fixed dispcal to disable black &amp; white drift tracking
+ during interactive adjustment.</li>
+ <li>Added -s option to ccmxmake to allow the number of test
+ patches to be set.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.2.0 -&gt; V1.3.0] 8th September 2010<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Added option to <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span>
+ and dispread that attempts to counteract instrument black drift
+ and display white drift (-I option). This may help with
+ instruments that haven't properly acclimatised to the
+ measurement location, and LCD displays that also take some time
+ to stabilise. The is a short discussion <a
+ href="Scenarios.html#PM6">here</a>.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added option to <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span>
+ to allow specifying a non 1931 2 degree observer if a
+ spectrometer is being used.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Added new utility spectro/<span style="font-weight: bold;">ccmxmake</span>,
+ which makes Colorimeter Correction Matrices for a particular
+ Colorimeter + Display combination, using a Spectrometer as a
+ reference. The resulting <span style="font-weight: bold;">.ccmx</span>
+ file can then be used with <span style="font-weight: bold;">spotread/dispcal/dispread</span>
+ (-X option) to improve the&nbsp; accuracy of the colorimeter on
+ that particular display. See a discussion <a
+ href="WideGamutColmters.html">here</a> and <a
+ href="Scenarios.html#PM6">here</a>.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in spotread's handling of emissive measurements. If
+ the XYZ was computed from spectral, it was using a D50 white
+ instead of no white reference.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in i1pro normal resolution wavelength calibration,
+ introduced in V1.2.0.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Changed libusb V1.0 name to libusb-1.0A, so as not to clash
+ with any official but different libusb V1.0 installation. [This
+ may necessitate re-installing device drivers on MSWin.]</li>
+ <li>Added support for HP DreamColor version of the i1 display.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fix problem with ARGYLL_NOT_INTERACTIVE - reading from
+ instruments was not actually possible, because polling for input
+ was disabled.</li>
+ <li>Adjust ColorMunki dark threshold to reduce misread reports.
+ Add inconsistent data to debug output. Fix bug in adaptive mode
+ - the integration time was sometimes&nbsp; too short. Set
+ adaptive emissive target at 95% to allow a little more margin to
+ saturation.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fix problem with ColorMunki reporting erroneous inconsistent
+ measurement errors. This shows up on display calibration.</li>
+ <li>Fix some minor compiler warnings.</li>
+ <li>Added direction indicators to xy values in dispcal
+ interactive&nbsp; monitor adjustments. </li>
+ <li>Fix bug in CIECAM02 viewing condition settings :- the
+ enumerated conditions after "mt" are displaced by 1. (ie. "mt"
+ is really "pc", "mb" is "mt", "md" is "mb" etc.) Added option
+ -c:sn for auto surround from the Lv parameter (-c:l).</li>
+ <li>Add option to illumread to average several readings. Fixed bug
+ in the way illumread displays available instruments.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.1.1 -&gt; V1.2.0] 30 July 2010<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Re-worked gamut mapping to improve perceptual intent
+ saturation levels, as well as improve highlight and shadow
+ contrast. Added fine tuning to improve both smoothness and the
+ precision with which the source is mapped to the destination.</li>
+ <li>Added illumread, which allows measuring an illuminant and
+ estimating its UV content, for better accuracy with FWA
+ compensation.</li>
+ <li>Use a modified/forked version of libusb V1.0, that supports
+ Win2K (libusb0.sys) back end by default. Supports 64 but MSWin
+ using a combination of WinUSB.sys and ptlibusb0.sys. [ The HCFR
+ does not work on Win 64 bit though, due to its buggy USB
+ implementation. ] NOTE that the included version of Libusb V1
+ has been carefully tested with all supported instruments on all
+ supported platforms,&nbsp; and includes many bug fixes needed
+ for correct functioning. While bug fixes have been fed upstream,
+ not all have been adopted. In particular there is a nasty race
+ condition that has not, and may never be fixed upstream, as well
+ as missing critical functionality (clearep()).<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Modified colprof -p to allow different abstract profiles to be
+ applied for each intent.</li>
+ <li>Added -I option (imitation) to printcal, so that an existing
+ devices response can be set as a target.</li>
+ <li>Increase target/ofps.c vertex intersection retries from 10 to
+ 40 to give it a better chance of working with difficult
+ profiles.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in plot that shows up on XP+, where the window isn't
+ dismissed by the first keystroke, but only after it has been
+ moved or resized.</li>
+ <li>Changed CMYK black point to be natural, rather than the
+ darkest point in the same direction and K only. This may wreck K
+ only to black point matching, but it will stop printers with
+ funny colored K ink from messing up the black point.</li>
+ <li>Make Lacie Blue Eye colorimeter appear as an i1display.</li>
+ <li>Improved i1pro matching to Original Manufacturers Driver (see
+ doc/i1proDriver.html).</li>
+ <li>Improved i1pro/ColorMunki patch recognition for better
+ uniformity.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in ColorMunki driver scan mode calibration when
+ instrument is more sensitive than usual.</li>
+ <li>Added EV calculation to spotread -a<br>

+ </li>
+ <li>Modified black curve to make sure that smoothed curve meets
+ target level at boundaries.</li>
+ <li>Added -M option to printtarg, for the case where the TIFF file
+ is to include the margin.</li>
+ <li>Fixed several build bugs in imdi code related to 64 bits.</li>
+ <li>Fixed profile/colprof -u so that it is applied to matrix
+ profiles too</li>
+ <li>Changed tiffgamut to use one pass gamut hull finding and
+ modified the smoothing so as to end up with a more closely
+ wrapped volume.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in input matrix profiles introduced by the XYZ cLUT
+ display matrix profile change, where the correct white and black
+ point weren't being written.</li>
+ <li>Added matrix only/linear algorithm option to profile/colprof,
+ for raw camera profiling.</li>
+ <li>Modified libusb/55-Argyll.rules for better compatibility with
+ systems that have ACL installed but no ConsoleKit. Also set
+ ID_VENDOR and ID_MODEL using. usb-db.</li>
+ <li>Modified target/targen to cope better with case where adding
+ nodes fails to determine vertex positions a lot of the time,
+ causing extreme slowdown.</li>
+ <li>Fixed colprof so that the per channel input curves for XYZ PCS
+ B2A tables are actually scaled correctly.</li>
+ <li>Changed link/collink to apply Y to L* curve if the input or
+ output space is XYZ. Fixed the Y to L* scaling to make sure it
+ only apples to XYZ space, and that the L* non-linearisation
+ still applies to Y like device spaces.</li>
+ <li>Modified scanin so that it ignores any alpha channels in the
+ input .tiff file.</li>
+ <li>Changed printcal so that it will create .AMP file with more
+ than 4 channels. Also fixed up plotting to plot up to 10
+ channels.</li>
+ <li>Changed dispcal and dispread so that a request for projector
+ mode falls back to display mode if the instrument doesn't
+ support a projector mode.</li>
+ <li>Updated ref/CMP_Digital_Target-3.cht as it seems that the
+ reference chart has columns labelled "2A - 2D" rather than the
+ "AA - AD" that is actually printed on the chart...</li>
+ <li>Altered xpsect FWA code to reduce overshoot artefacts due to
+ filtering.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.0.4 -&gt; V1.1.0] 17th January 2010<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Spyder3 and ColorMunki Design, Photo and Create instrument
+ support.</li>
+ <li>Added a complete printer calibration system. This can work
+ either with a print system that supports per channel print
+ calibration curves, or purely using ICC profiling mechanisms.</li>
+ <li>Default targen (OFPS) test point distribution has been
+ re-written to generate test points on the gamut surface, refine
+ the point locations when using a guide profile, and use a better
+ error estimate model to determine the test point locations. <br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Changed chartread strip reading mode to allow navigating about
+ the strips, saving a partially read chart, and resuming a
+ partially read chart.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Improved and re-tuned gamut mapping. This is noticeably
+ smoother and better retains source image detail.</li>
+ <li>Re-tuned the cLUT profile creation smoothness vs. accuracy.</li>
+ <li>Fixed viewgam so that the number of gamuts that can be viewed
+ is unlimited. Also added error when computing intersecting
+ volume if the two gamuts are incompatible.</li>
+ <li>Improved CMYK black generation control and smoothness near the
+ black point.</li>
+ <li>Improved collink special black and colorant handling so that
+ the gamut mapping is consistent&nbsp; with the special black and
+ colorant mapping</li>
+ <li>Changed profile/colprof to generate matrix tags for Display
+ XYZ PCS cLUT profiles, to improve compatibility with other CMMs.<br>
+ By default (-ax) the matrix tags will be a dummy transform that
+ swaps red and green, while using -aX will create real matrix
+ tags.</li>
+ <li>Added -V option to dispcal and dispread to allow use of i1pro
+ adaptive mode to give better low level consistency.</li>
+ <li>Changed dispcal to default to -f 1.0 (assume black is all
+ output offset) to make it work in more sympathy to a typical
+ display response. Also changed default gamma to 2.4 for OS X
+ 10.6 systems.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Improved X11 XRandR CRTC detection.</li>
+ <li>Added spotread option to save spectral reading of an
+ illuminant to a .sp file.</li>
+ <li>Added Color Rendering Index (Ra) to spotread measurement
+ results.</li>
+ <li>Added i1pro &amp; ColorMunki flash measurement
+ support.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Improve reliability of detecting backwards read i1pro/Munki
+ strips.</li>
+ <li>Fixed bug in i1pro driver that subtly affected accuracy.</li>
+ <li>Modified xicc/cam02 to clip the blue to avoid crazy behavior
+ outside the spectrum locus.</li>
+ <li>Simplified the Linux installation instructions, particularly
+ with regard to USB and serial permissions.</li>
+ <li>Added working MSWindows 64 bit libusb drivers, which will work
+ on Vista 64 and MSWindows 7 64 bit. Because of Microsoft's
+ driver signing requirements though, they won't be usable unless
+ a driver code signing workaround is used.</li>
+ <li>Changed printtarg so that the TIFF output has the paper margin
+ subtracted from it. This is so that the resulting TIFF can be
+ placed on that sized paper without clipping or scaling. Set the
+ margin to zero to get a TIFF that exactly fits into the
+ specified paper size</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h1>[V1.0.3 -&gt; V1.0.4] 30th June 2009<br>
+ </h1>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Modify icc/icclib to protect against integer overflow
+ exploits, and fixes to minor bugs. Bump icclib version to 2.11
+ to reflect this.<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fix bug in spectro/hidio.c that can cause a crash (bus error)
+ on OS X for any program that accesses the instruments.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in xicc/xfit.c where too little memory was being
+ allocated.<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
