v1.9.1

Notable changes

You no longer have to call Vips.init yourself - using anything from Vips, VipsInvoker, or VipsHelper will automatically initialise libvips for you. This aligns vips-ffm with the behaviour of other bindings. You can disable this new default behaviour with a system property. Thanks @jbaiter!

Vips.init(Boolean, Boolean) has been deprecated in favour of Vips.allowUntrustedOperations and Vips.enableLeakDetection.

What's Changed

• Automatically initialise libvips by default by @lopcode in #177

Full Changelog: v1.8.0...v1.9.0

v1.8.0

Notable changes

• VImage.newFromMemory and VImage.writeToMemory now both use the FFM MemorySegment API to avoid unnecessary copies to/from a ByteBuffer, and allow operating on multi-gigabyte images
  • Note that you can still use MemorySegment.ofBuffer to continue to use a ByteBuffer as input, or MemorySegment.ofArray to input a Java byte[] array
  • See the Java MemorySegment API for more helper methods to various common Java types
• The README now includes an Operationalisation section describing how to optimise memory usage, enable and disable fuzzed libvips methods, and optionally use jemalloc

• @versi-tech made their first contribution in #163

Commits

• Add note to usage example about untrusted operations by @lopcode in #162

v1.7.0

Notable changes

• Adds support for libvips header operations, including access to things like ICC Profiles, EXIF data, and embedded preview images (see image for sample, libvips docs)
• Removes long-deprecated getUnsafeAddress and asByteBuffer methods (use getUnsafeStructAddress and asArenaScopedByteBuffer instead)
• Removes accidentally included "deprecated" libvips operations (specifically removes avifsaveTarget, cache, magicksaveBmp, pbmsaveTarget, pfmsaveTarget, pgmsaveTarget, pnmsaveTarget internal operations)
  • Note that there is no lost functionality here - these methods are internal libvips helper methods for other operations - see discussion

v1.4.0

Breaking change 💥

#129 includes a fix for a strange API interaction that required you to create a new, blank VImage before being able to use certain operations that don't actually reference it. The functions that call these operations are now static, and require an arena to be passed.

For example, VImage.thumbnail is now a static method. This direct thumbnail mechanism is preferred, and offers quality improvements, as noted in the docs for vips_thumbnail_image. An example of usage is available in the samples.

All affected VImage functions are listed here: analyzeload, arrayjoin, bandjoin, bandrank, black, composite, csvload, csvloadSource, eye, fitsload, fitsloadSource, fractsurf, gaussmat, gaussnoise, gifload, gifloadBuffer, gifloadSource, grey, heifload, heifloadBuffer, heifloadSource, identity, jp2kload, jp2kloadBuffer, jp2kloadSource, jpegload, jpegloadBuffer, jpegloadSource, jxlload, jxlloadBuffer, jxlloadSource, logmat, magickload, magickloadBuffer, maskButterworth, maskButterworthBand, maskButterworthRing, maskFractal, maskGaussian, maskGaussianBand, maskGaussianRing, maskIdeal, maskIdealBand, maskIdealRing, matload, matrixload, matrixloadSource, openexrload, openslideload, openslideloadSource, pdfload, pdfloadBuffer, pdfloadSource, perlin, pngload, pngloadBuffer, pngloadSource, ppmload, ppmloadSource, radload, radloadBuffer, radloadSource, rawload, sdf, sines, sum, svgload, svgloadBuffer, svgloadSource, switch1, text, thumbnail, thumbnailBuffer, thumbnailSource, tiffload, tiffloadBuffer, tiffloadSource, tonelut, vipsload, vipsloadSource, webpload, webploadBuffer, webploadSource, worley, xyz, zone.

What's Changed

• Add docker test suite, include debian 12 to start by @lopcode in #122
• Signpost libvips-dev on Debian / Ubuntu by @lopcode in #123
• Bump the jackson group with 2 updates by @dependabot in #124
• Bump jvm from 2.0.21 to 2.1.0 by @dependabot in #125
