Version 0.25 Release Candidate 1 is released
I am pleased to release the version 0.25, as a Release Candidate. It sports a lot of new features, as well as an extensive rewriting of the image manipulation code. It should now work like a charm with transparent images. Get it here.
Feel free to download it, and test it. If you see anything which doesn't work, please send me some feedback, and I will fix it for the proper release.
Changelog for version 0.25 RC1:
- added forbidden to set an array of forbidden MIME types
- implemented support for simple wildcards in allowed and forbidden, such as image/*
- preset the file extension to the desired conversion format when converting an image
- added read and write support for BMP images
- added a flag file_is_image to determine if the file is a supported image type
- the class now provides some information about the image, before calling process(). Available are image_src_x, image_src_y and the newly introduced image_src_bits, image_src_pixels and image_src_type. Note that this will not work if open_basedir restrictions are in place
