0.4.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Added option to process directories recursively
- Added support for various GIF bit depths.
- Added support for grayscale JPG.
- Added multiprocessing. JPG, PNG and GIF file generation now runs in
separate processing, improving speed significantly on multicore machines.
User can control multiprocessing through the --prc-mult option (see --help).
Batches of files can also be divided to multiple processes, improving
speed further.
- Added an automated test suite to check for most obvious bugs.
- Added benchmark and profiling scripts
- Handling more input/output errors now.
- Removed stats module due to it being a complete mess.
- Removed --fill and --bg-color options, deprecated
other resizing options.
- Speed improved significantly in big file benchmark
but worsened somehwhat in many files benchmark:
Pentium Dual Core 1.73 GHz 4GB RAM:
benchmark : 0.3.2: 0.4.0:
many_files: 618.04s 900.13s +45.64%
big_file : 1215.92s 590.10s -51.47%
total speedup: 18.74%
- BUGFIXES:
- IMGCrush now detects if temporary directory already exists and
creates new one if it does, so multiple instances of the program
can run at the same time.
- Fixed bugs with handling of filenames with spaces.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes resulted in suboptimal output (especially
in lossless quality mode)
- OTHER:
- Cleaned up and documented a lot of code.
- Moved from ImageMagick to GraphicsMagick dut to its better speed.
