Hi all,
I have successfully replaced the old gil::io extension with the new gil::io. The new io has been developed on and off over the last few years and I believe it's a great improvement over the old one.
Before going into details I like thank everyone that has been helping me out along the way. I have learned a lot of things and I'm very grateful for the experience!
There are numerous improvements and perhaps it's best to study the documentation before using it. Here are some noteworthy points that come to my mind:
* updating code that uses the old version only requires to change the header from "boost/extension/io/jpeg_io.hpp" to "boost/extension/io/jpeg/jpeg_io_old.hpp" * new formats: bmp, pnm, raw, targa * read numerous meta information from images. See boost/gil/extension/io/png_tags.hpp for example. * use all sorts of file metaphers or file names, like FILE*, ifstream, stringstream, wstring, filesystem::path, etc * in-memory images are supported * read large images with a scanline_read_iterator * have access to the file format backend * etc.
Christian, Congratulations and thank you very much for your efforts! BTW, as the GIL.IO review manager, is it me who is supposed to notify the review Wizards to add "added in " for GIL.IO in the schedule? If yes, shall it be "in 1.54.0"? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
