What’s New

New License File Required

• This build requires a new version 1.4 license. Please contact sales@thinkboxsoftware.com for an updated Draft 1.4 license file.

Compatibility

• Scripts written for previous versions of Draft should still work fine with Draft 1.4.

Images

• Added support for controlling image compression and quality settings.
• Updated to ImageMagick 6.9.1.

General Improvement

• Writing an image to file with an undefined compression doesn’t issue a warning anymore.
• Improved Draft robustness.

Bug Fixes

• Draft was always writing PNG and TIFF files with an alpha channel.
• The TileAssembler was setting final data window with width and height one pixel bigger than necessary, temporarily carrying useless black pixels.
• Successive crops was not giving the correct results (resulting image was shifted).
• Fixed a bug in deepcopy.
• Changed Magick::Color( “black” ) to Magick::Color( 0, 0, 0 ) so Draft won’t rely on finding colors.xml.
• Draft was not closing files properly (bug introduced when ffmpeg was updated to version 2.3).
• It was impossible to resize a one pixel image (bug introduced when support for exr windows was added).
