This release accumulates bugfixes since the previous release to keep up to date with commits in the Github repo.

Excited to announce the release of Image4j 0.7.1, which addresses known bugs and improves performance for reading/writing files.

This project has been dormant for a long time, but I'm pleased to be able to pick it up again, so if you have any outstanding issues, please log a ticket here on the SourceForge project site and I'll do my best to fix.

Been a while since I've touched this project, now finally picking it up again with some bug fixes.

Latest sources are now on GitHub at https://github.com/imcdonagh/image4j and available for testing.

New release builds will still be published on SourceForge as they become available.

If you have any outstanding issues with image4j, please submit a copy of the file you're trying to decode/encode and a brief description of the problem.... read more

Read and Write ICO,BMP formats in 100% pure Java

Been a long time in the making, but I've finally gotten round to the final release for 0.7

The library appears to be stable, hence my decision to finalize the current release.

Thanks to Olivier Le Tiec for reporting a bug with irregular icons (width != height), together with the necessary bug fix.

Thanks for using image4j!

Added some accessor methods to BMPImage and ICOImage for easier access to metadata.

Support has been added for obtaining metadata read from source BMP and ICO images, such as colour depth and size.

Support for encoding images from metadata will be added in the upcoming 0.7alpha2 release.

The 0.6 release has been finalized.

Thanks to Brian Skaarup [bskaarup] for suggesting support for Vista compressed icons and for testing this new feature.

The image4j library now has support for Vista compressed icon format.

Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this project simply by using the image4j library.

The image4j Website has just been updated.

I hope to increase exposure for this project so that it truly is *freely* available.

I've just uploaded an examples package, which demonstrates how to decode and encode .ICO and .BMP files.

Enjoy!

Version 0.5 has finally been released.

This release includes full documentation, including API Javadocs as well as a quickstart guide.

Been rather busy lately, but getting some time here and there to work on the javadocs for this project.

Coming soon.

Please let me know how you've experienced using this library thus far.
