Animated GIF support is finally here!

Yes

Huge thanks to Carbonmade for sponsoring the work on the new GIF features

MagicScaler v0.11.0

Breaking Changes

  • Changed minimum .NET Framework version to 4.6.1 (from 4.6). This is the lowest version that technically supports .NET Standard 2.0, and Microsoft has stopped updating some of their OOB packages for older versions. Microsoft NuGet dependencies were also updated to the latest versions supported by 4.6.1. This should reduce the number of version conflicts such as #48 and #36
  • Running MagicScaler on an STA thread, such as the UI thread in a WinForms or WPF app, is no longer supported and will throw an exception. This was always discouraged for performance reasons, but the new animated GIF support requires the WIC GIF codec's MTA behavior, so it is now forbidden. The best solution is to use Task.Run to invoke MagicScaler on a background thread.
  • Removed the previously obsoleted GammaMode.sRGB. The removed value is replaced by GammaMode.Companded.
  • Obsoleted the BuildPipeline overload that accepts ReadOnlySpan<byte>. This was previously mentioned in #38

Behavioral Changes

  • An animated GIF source will now result in an animated GIF output if the SaveFormat setting is FileFormat.Auto or FileFormat.Gif and FrameIndex is set to 0. In previous versions, only a single frame of an animated GIF could be selected for output. #40
  • Source images with a wide-gamut color profile will now result in a wide-gamut output under the default ColorProfileMode.Normalize setting. The old behavior of normalizing all images to sRGB can be re-enabled with ColorProfileMode.ConvertToSrgb if you are dealing with non-color-aware downstream software. More details are given in #51
  • Color profile validation has been slightly relaxed. The wacky ICC profile that caused the Android crashes that made news recently was ignored by previous MagicScaler versions but will now correctly convert to a safe wide-gamut profile under the default ColorProfileMode.
  • CropScaleMode.Max and CropScaleMode.Contain now work with 0 width or height. Previously both width and height had to be set for all modes other than CropScaleMode.Crop. #52 #43

Performance Improvements

  • Improved speed across the library and further reduced GC allocations for common resizing tasks.

Quality Improvements

  • Replaced WIC palette generation and dithering for indexed color formats with a much higher quality internal implementation. The improvements apply to both GIF and PNG8 output.

WebRSize v0.6.0
