mousegen-0.9

render --scalable-cursors

Added scalable SVG output option. Currently the KDE Plasma format.

---

A backward-incompatible change of the parsing of the -s (SizeScheme) option:

/1.25 -> 1.25/1.25  # before
/1.25 -> 1/1.25     # after

Additionally, the nominal size factor is now used as is by the render command:

bitmapSize * (1 / nominalSize)  # before
bitmapSize * nominalSize        # after

The latter is already used like that by the compile command introduced in v0.7

Adjust existing usages like:

/1.25   -> 1.25/0.8
1/1.333 -> 1/0.75

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.8...mousegen-0.9

mousegen-0.8

Highlights:

• New mousegen compile command

  Replaces mousegen wincur (now removed) with the possibility to output to different formats;

• Removed the mousegen svgsize command

• mousegen render to bitmaps now generates .cursor config files with the hotspots (readily usable with xcursorgen, or mousegen compile)

• Extracted previously experimental async processing from CursorRenderer to AsyncCursorBuilderFactory, and made its configuration more flexible

  A general-purpose WorkQueue would likely be moved to the parent stanio-misc library.

From the parent stanio-misc:

• SmoothDownscale: Added support for pixel grid alignment hint, and gamma-correct scaling

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.7...mousegen-0.8

mousegen-0.7

Enable --mousecape-theme --update-existing

Highlights:

• MousecapeTheme: Load and update existing theme
• Implement MousecapeReader (and reuse it in MousecapeDumpProvider)
• BitmapOutputBuilder: Save hotspots in *.cursor config (xcursorgen) files
• SVGCursorMetadata: Allow multiple references to single align-anchor definition
• SVGSizing: Adjust hotspot rounding heuristics

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.6.3...mousegen-0.7

mousegen-0.6.3

• render: Custom output labels for shadow, no-shadow, and default-stroke options
• windowsInstallScripts, linuxThemeFiles, x11Symlinks: Imply config file name
• Refactor CursorBuilder into a reusable API (initial version)
• Experimental: CursorRenderer – Encode cursor bitmaps asynchronously

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.6.2...mousegen-0.6.3

mousegen-0.6.2

• x11Symlinks – Read link map from a file
• render – Add --config <path> option
• Update to JSVG 2.0.0

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.6.1...mousegen-0.6.2

Bonus: KDE Plasma Breeze (Plasma 6.3) cursors for Windows generated by mousegen.

mousegen-0.6.1

Update with JSVG 1.7.2 to address weisJ/jsvg#120: Animation not working with 1.7.1 but 1.7.0

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.6...mousegen-0.6.1

mousegen-0.6

Introduce mousegen dump command

Noteworthy:

• A new mousegen dump command

  "Decompiles" any of the supported cursor formats (Windows, XCursor, Mousecape) to individual bitmaps + a cursor file (xcursorgen config-file).

  The next version is expected to introduce a complementary mousegen compile command, a la xcursorgen with the difference that it would allow specifying different output formats.

• mousegen render: Support animated SVGs with the default JSVG backend (JSVG 1.7.0+)

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.5...mousegen-0.6

mousegen-0.5

• Feature: Mousecape (custom cursors for macOS) theme builder (626fc61)
• Fix: NPE in DynamicImageTranscoder.transcodeDynamic() (90d05ee)

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.4...mousegen-0.5

mousegen-0.4

• Fix run-time dependency on Batik, when not used;
• Add optional Zopfli PNG compression for Windows cursors.

Full Changelog: mousegen-0.3...mousegen-0.4

---

Bonus: KDE Plasma Breeze (Plasma 6) cursors for Windows (w/ and w/o pointer shadow) as a demo mousegen could be used with other SVG cursor themes.

mousegen-0.3

First release with really executable jars:

mousegen.sh	POSIX-shell executable script (needs chmod +x, after download)
mousegen.cmd	Windows Command (Batch) script
mousegen.jar	Executable fat JAR including the two required dependencies: JSVG, and Gson

The two shell scripts are copies of the fat JAR with prepended platform-specific shell commands to self-execute using java found on the PATH.

One day I'll get to write more complete user documentation. In the meantime, see its usage in stanio/Bibata_Cursor.
