Summary of Argyll CMS Changes since last release
[V0.53 -> V0.60]
Apart from numerous bug fixes and many minor feature additions and
improvements, the main changes to this version compared to the previous
one are:
- Support for the USB based X-Rite DTP94 (AKA Optix), which is
currently available, and is a relatively economical and accurate
display colorimeter that
works on CRT and LCD displays.
- Comprehensive display control adjustment and calibration support,
including an "update" mode to keep a display in calibration, and
"report" and "verify" functions to measure a displays current
behaviour.
- Full multi-monitor support for display adjustment, calibration
and profiling on all supported operating systems (MSWindows, OS X and
Linux/X11).
- The "dispwin" utility can now act as a video LUT calibration
loader on all
operating systems, including multi-monitor systems.
<>Perceptual and Saturation intent gamut mapping has been greatly
refined, with much better black
point and neutral axis handling, smoother mappings with better
saturation.

Note that there are some changes to how intents in icclink and profile are specified, as well as viewing conditions in the utilities
that use them. Numerical identifiers for intents and viewing conditions have been
replaced by alphabetic mnemonics, so that the identifiers no longer
change every time a new release adds more options, or they are
re-ordered or deleted. You may have to change any existing scripts to
accommodate the new usage. See the html documentation for each utility
for the details of current usage.
As usual, a more detailed description of all changes is in the log.txt
file that accompanies the
source
code.
