[Lcms-user] Beta of 1.14 available on site

[Marti M. <ma...@li...>]

Hi All,

Ok, as promised here is a beta of the new 1.14. There are, however, 
some files still not being updated, like documentation and Delphi wrapper, 
sorry on that. But the C/C++ package is complete. 

New in this version:

- Linux & windows packages are now joined into a single package.
- Added virtual profiles for Adobe1998RGB, ColorMatchRGB and AppleRGB.
- Improved (and now fast!) gamut checking.
- New virtual NULL profile for building gamut check transforms.
- CGATS.13/IT8 parser now supports multiple tables and other goodies. 
- More python support.
- New Matlab wrapper. Matlab is a commercial scientific language widely 
  used in industry.  Matlab comes form Mathworks (http://www.mathworks.com) 
  Thanks to Ignacio Ruiz de Conejo   for providing the code. 
- Revamped icctrans
- Improved jpegicc. Thanks to Arnaud Janc for providing CMYK and 
  subsampling code.
- jpegicc and tifficc now can save (grab) embedded profiles. 
- Improved Lab prelinearization.
- Fixed absolute intent on PostScript CRD
- Lots of bug fixes

There are other improvements on internals, so the overall engine 
should be more robust, specially regarding v4 profiles. 

A couple of notes:

- Please note this is A BETA. Package maintainers, please DON'T use this 
tarballs for the cooking, since they are going to change in final release.

-Have tried to setup the CVS on SourceForge with these sources. I plan to 
 use the CVS as a repository for development sources, so for further updates
 before final release, CVS could be a great way. Opinions?

- As always, I would be glad to get any feedback about bugs, improvements etc.
