3) Updated README-WIN-SRC.txt.

Release 0.1.7 is ready.

From the CHANGES file:

would be lost.
5) Support conversion from jpeg to png and vice versa.
6) Added Apply, Reset, and Defaults buttons on the Settings dialog.
7) Updated help documentation.

Bug fixes:

2) Made the settings defaults constants in settings.h.
3) Encapsulated the menu enable code in the main window.

Release 0.1.6 is ready.

From the CHANGES file:

Feature additions and enhancements:
1) User specified output directory name. (-o for cmd line version)
2) Add a disable hotpixel processing checkbox, and cmd line switch (-n).
3) Add a hotpixel processing only checkbox for GUI version.
4) Documentation and online help updated.

Bug fixes:
1) Fixed isHotPixel() so that it returns false for a hotpixel that has been
interpolated already.
2) Catch exiv2 library exceptions so command line ddblast doesn't get
terminated.
3) Fixed widget enable/disable code in settings dialog.
4) Fixed button text and enable/disable code in batchblast dialog.
5) Fixed a long standing Win32 bug where the Load reference dialog broke
the modal state of the batchblast dialog. This may actually be a bug in
Q3FileDialog::getOpenFileName(). I "fixed" it by using the non static
methods.
6) Fixed the Output Directory dialog and the Help Path dialog so they
display the correct window titles.

Release 0.1.5 is ready.

From the CHANGES file:

1) Added support for .png (lossless) image file format.

NOTE: Exif data will be lost if you use this file
format. At present the exiv2 library only implements
read support for .png format. In the meantime you can
use Phil Harvey's exiftool, available at:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool.

Once you have exiftool installed, the following
commands will copy all exif data from infile.png to
outfile.png:
exiftool -all= outfile.png
exiftool -TagsFromFile infile.png outfile.png

2) Added hotpixel processing.
3) Fixed bug where the hotpixel list wasn't being cleared
before it was written.
4) Added -p switch to command line version for hotpixel
only processing.
5) Updated help documentation.

Release 0.1.4. is ready.

From the CHANGES file:

1) Optimized the for loops in the interpolation code for
a small but measureable performance increase.
2) Changed the drawing code so that only the rectangle
containing the dust bunny is updated, instead of the
entire canvas.
3) Automatically add missing filename extensions from
the saveas dialogs.
4) Added settings override from the command line.
5) Changed the way color range threshhold is calculated
to make the results linear. Changed the Configure
dbblast dialog to reflect the changes.
6) Added user selectable colors for the bunny marker
circle.
7) Fixed a bug where dbblast didn't exit when no .dbr file
got loaded when running from the command line.

Release 0.1.3 is ready. There are source packages for Linux,
and both source and binary packages for Windows.

This release fixes a bug where all the exif data was lost
in the output jpeg files. I also added the ability to move
the dust bunny marker with the mouse and resize it with the
mousewheel, and some other minor improvements. See the
CHANGES file for details. Oh... I included the help files
in the Windows source package this time; they were missing in
the last release. Sorry :)

If you build from source, be aware that you will need to
have exiv2 installed.

Please see the README files in each package for
installation instructions.

Apparently the QT library code doesn't save the exif data.
I'm fixing this now. It will be included in the next release,
hopefully before Christmas.

In the meantime, a good workaround is to use the very excellent
exiftool by Phil Harvey.

Once you have exiftool installed, the following commands
will copy all exif data from infile.jpg to outfile.jpg:
exiftool -all= outfile.jpg
exiftool -TagsFromFile infile.jpg outfile.jpg
