|
||

|
||
-----
|
||
|
||

|
||
redo-after-overwrite-undo feature.

|
||
+ Film Editor was improved.
|
||
+ Fixed errors with the graphics cursor, some keyboard problems, and
|

|
||
+ New .ASE format (in alpha status, please test it!).
|
||
+ Easy script routines: now are a high-level layer of routines (easy
|
||
to use and understand), and the low-level routine's set (for
|
||
internal or more specific works).
|
||
- Removed all the interpolation stuff between key-frames: yes, after
|
||
thinking, this make too hard the animation edition (so the "fancy
|
||
spline interpolation" was removed).
|
||
+ Optimized the editor's speed in scroll movements.
|
||

|
||

0.2
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
+ Fixed a lot of bugs.
|
||
+ Added optional support for JPEG with JPGalleg 2.0 library.
|
||
+ Added draw mode: Opaque (normal), Glass (transparent), Semi
|
||
(pattern).
|
||
+ Added brush types: Circle, Square, Line.
|
||
+ Implemented a fake-palette system to make the GUI usable with any
|
||
sprite palette (mainly to avoid "black-screen" situations when open
|
||
sprites with ugly palettes).
|
||
+ The palette editor has more improvements (like the possibility to
|
||
move the selection range).
|
||
+ "menus" file modified a bit. Some keyboard bindings have change
|
||
(and new ones added), you can see the "docs/QuickHelp.html" file for
|
||
more help. Anyway, I try to leave the compability in the more used
|
||
commands.
|
||
+ Full scripting support with Lua-5.0. Sprites and GUI controllable
|
||
from same scripts, to give you an idea, various of menus actions are
|
||
programmed directly with scripts.
|
||
+ Complete selection handle (mask regions). You can select irregular
|
||
areas (add, subtract, intersect, by color), save and load them in
|
||
the .MSK Animator Pro format.
|
||
+ Multiple editors. Now you will be able to edit an image with zoom
|
||
and see the results in other editors (updated in real-time).
|
||
+ New Gfx-core. All sprite/image/layer/prop/key stuff was
|
||
reprogrammed. The more big change, was to property/keyframe level
|
||
(the properties can be with lineal or spline interpolation, also,
|
||
have a ending flag to make circular movements or patterns of movement).
|
||
+ New GUI. The look and the internal code was reestructured
|
||
completelly, I made a new GUI library: Jinete (rider).
|
||
|
||
0.1.2
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
+ New RLE Gaussian Blur effect (from The GIMP source code).
|
||
+ Blender modes are back!: Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay,
|
||
Hard Light, Darken, Lighten, Addition, Subtract, Difference, Hue,
|
||
Saturation, Color, Luminosity.
|
||
+ Better the GUI look: With colors, this should be less boring :-)
|
||
+ Added a graphics selection dialog where you can specify any
|
||
resolution (this could be useful for windowed modes).
|
||
+ Back again to the good-and-peaceful-allegro-like makefiles. Ok, ok,
|
||
the GNU style was the worst change in ASE, but now is fixed :-)
|
||
- Removed the .DLL or .so capability for plug-ins. After some weeks of
|
||
thinking, I decide to strip off this feature because is too hard to
|
||
do a good system to attach new plug-ins with the current menu
|
||
implementation. The most user are just "user" and don't will copy
|
||
the plug-in and modify the `menus' to add a new entry with a little
|
||
script-string to call the new plug-in action. Also, this save me a
|
||
lot of headaches :-)
|
||
+ Added multiple filter application: Now, you can apply effects to
|
||
every layer, to every animation frame, or both.
|
||
+ Added the "Recent Files" list.
|
||
+ A complete set of scripts routines to handle paths.
|
||
+ New selection type: "shrink", to shrink the selection to the current
|
||
layer bitmap bounds.
|
||
+ New "trim_sprite" action.
|
||
|
||
0.1.0
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Removed the `move' tool to displace layers (it was redundant).
|
||
+ New interface to load Plug-Ins in a dynamic way (DLL, .so).
|
||
+ Complete new support for JPEG files (RGB/grayscale) load/save:
|
||
athwart the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG Library.
|
||
+ New actions:
|
||
+ trim_layer_bitmap: trim the current layer to the selection bounds.
|
||
+ merge_down: to merge the current layer with the next one.
|
||
+ make_undo_animation: to make an animation from the undo
|
||
operations (to see all the progression of the graphics).
|
||
+ undo_history: to undo/redo various operations.
|
||
+ color_curve: to make color conversion effects pixel by pixel.
|
||
+ Improved the `Color Replace' command (with `tolerance' and `preview').
|
||
+ A new optimized layer-bar, to handle all the keyframe/properties stuff.
|
||
+ Various things rewritten to Plug-Ins:
|
||
+ file formats,
|
||
+ actions for menus (also, now these actions can be used from scripts).
|
||
+ Replaced the old `color depth' system to the new `image types':
|
||
From now, an image can be: RGB, Grayscale, or Indexed type.
|
||
+ New ASE Library, with a complete new design to handle:
|
||
images, layers, bitmaps, properties, keyframes, etc.
|
||
+ Source code to GNU style: with configure.in, Makefile.am, etc.
|
||
|
||

|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
+ New scripts routines: request(), apply_filter(), load_sprite(),
|
||
and save_sprite().
|
||
+ Support to load FLI/FLC and to save FLC files. Yes! Now with ASE
|
||
you can make FLC animations with a good compression performance.
|
||
+ Added the posibility to load/save sequences of bitmaps: like ani00.pcx,
|
||
ani01.pcx, ani02.pcx, etc.
|
||
+ More undo functionality. I re-wrote the entire `undo' system.
|
||
+ New rectangular-selection tool: Now you can cut, copy, paste and clear.
|
||
+ New RLE compression for 8 bpp in .ase files.
|
||
+ Support to load .ase files of `0.0.6' and `0.0.7 CVS (important stage)':
|
||
I recommend you upgrade all your .ase files to the `0.0.7 release' version.
|
||
+ New properties for keyframes: now each keyframe has its position and alpha,
|
||
with this you can make animations of objects moving only the keyframes
|
||
(all the intermediate frames will be calculate automatically).
|
||
+ Now the program remember the configuration (through `ase.cfg').
|
||
+ Added a new draw-tiled mode.
|
||
+ New full-screen editing mode. With resizable layer-bar.
|
||
+ Added an options to draw the previous frame in transparent mode.
|
||
- Removed the `background' properties of layers: from now, a layer
|
||
will be transparent (masked-blitting) ever. With this are fixed
|
||
a lot of problems with load/save routines in old versions.
|
||
+ New `reload_menus' command.
|
||
|
||
0.0.6
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- I still don't recommend you the .ase format (just for temporary usage):
|
||
there are planes to change it.
|
||
+ Scripting capability athwart Lua language (http://www.lua.org/):
|
||
now, you can make automatic tasks programming your own scripts
|
||
(included some scripts as example).
|
||
+ Independent `alpha' (global transparency) and `blender-mode' for
|
||
each layer (like in GIMP and Adobe Photoshop).
|
||
+ Improved the layer/frame-control:
|
||
Now add/remove/move/copy layer and frames are really-very-easy
|
||
with the new layer-panel (like in Macromedia Flash).
|
||
+ More easy tool-configuration.
|
||
+ New drawing tool: real-pencil, with a unique and original algorithm.
|
||
- Removed all the use of the Allegro GUI.
|
||
+ New original (and ugly) GUI look:
|
||
now, the colors are in harmony for the eyes.
|
||
|
||
0.0.5
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
+ More facilities to handle colors with different `alpha'.

|
||
+ Optimized the color-selection dialog: now you can make gammas
|
||
between *four* colors.
|
||

|
||
+ Undo support for all tools.
|
||
+ Multiple drawing tools support:
|
||
pixel, pencil, fill, spray, line, rectangle, and ellipse;
|
||
+ New improved layer control.
|
||
+ A lot of optimizations in the status bar.
|
||
+ New duplicate sprite option.
|
||
+ New session manager, for load and save your work. Other utility of this,
|
||
is if the program crash for any reason, it auto-backups your data.
|
||
- Bad news: the old .ase format is incompatible with the new one:
|
||
I recommend you don't save in .ase until the 0.1 release.
|
||
+ New "visible" property for hide and show the layers.
|
||
+ New change color-depth function.
|
||
+ Added a set-gfx-mode option in the system-menu.
