[SIP-devel] new development version

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Hi, all,

a new SIP development version is out. This one brings us many
important bugfixes that made a lot of SIP functions to spend a lot of memory
which wasn't freed. Some of you may have noticed that some of the
functions, when used inside a long loop, progressively used up a lot
of the computer memory.

I hope to have fixed all of these bugs.

Download the new version at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=68055&package_id=67061&release_id=210153

ChangeLog
   + Fixed memleaks in various C functions (thx. to Linder). Corrected
   functions are: imread, bwlabel, thin, skel, bwdist, drawline,
mogrify
   + Fixed severe memleaks in bwdist. (thx. to Linder)
   + Fixed Bug in imshow regarding to indexed images (thx. Marconi).
   As a side effect, this fixes a bug in SIP's introductory demo.
   + New ellipse selection in function imroi. (thx. to Jocelyn).
   + New ind2rgb function to convert indexed images to direct RGB
   hypermatrix storage.
   + New poledetection function to detect residues in wrapped phased
   images.
   + Many other bugfixes and minor improvements


Compilation and installation is suited for Linux, but should work
correctly in other unix systems. I myself use Slackware Linux 9.1
Please report to the list any problems that you see with SIP in other distros.

First please install the new AnImaL 0.9.0:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75126&package_id=75574&release_id=209605

You shall install the new SIP and Animal version over the older ones
without problems, but if you want, you can remove the old version like
this: in the unix shell, change dir to the old SIP-dev or Animal then type the
following:

prompt# make uninstall

You may now install the new versions as usual.

have a nice 2004,
best regards,
Ricardo.
