I've uploaded zgv v2.7 to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming.
I'd usually wait a little longer between releases than this, but I
thought PNG support was a sufficiently Good Thing for me to upload a
new version of zgv RSN. It may also have something to do with me
losing 'net access semi-permanently on the 29th. :-)
New features added:
- PNG support. PNG is a new format primarily designed to replace GIF.
It has better compression (still lossless), supports 24-bit, and has
much more useful interlacing. Zgv currently can't handle images with
alpha channels, but it should - and as far as I can tell, does -
handle everything else.
- '-i' option added, to ignore errors with PNG or GIF files. You
should now be able to view files of all types as they download or
are generated (see the description of the '-i' option in the man
page for details). This is particularly effective with interlaced
PNG files, where you can see a rough image after only 15% of the
file has downloaded.
Bugfixes:
- A couple of memory leaks related to aborting the loading of a 24-bit
image on an 8-bit display fixed.
Here's the LSM entry:
