Govips Versions Save

Add new functionality:

• format-specific export parameters
• Identity()
• Maplut()
• Cast()
• Average()

And fix a bunch of bugs as well.

New functionality:

• Support vips_similarity (rotate and scale picture precisely, any angle)
• Add support for converting govips images to golang image.Image objects
• Smart cropping functionality (crop to the interesting parts of pictures)
• Draw rectangles (draw_rect()) or start with an empty black image (black())
• New format-specific export parameters which allow you to tune format-specific options

Bug fixes:

• Check if libvips compiled with ICC profile support before attempting to use it
• Compress TIFF lossless by default

Temporary file storage is now compatible with Windows as well, and Govips cleans up all temp files on shutdown.

New stuff:

• Add divide(), mapim() and xyz() functions
• Fix missing support for some specific HEIF image

• Add Thumbnail() function for easy thumbnails
• Add CompositeMulti() function to composite several images at once

Version 2.1.0 comes with a couple of new features:

• Logging - as verbose as you want it, to wherever you want it (not just stderr!)
• Logging now consolidates all of glib, libvips and govips into one channel
• imageRef.Close() is deprecated, it happens automatically nowadays

In addition, we've got:

• More, better examples and documentation
• Better unit test coverage

Fix bugs related to garbage collection and resize() kernel parameters

Add option to strip metadata on export

Moving to version 2.0.0 due to breaking API changes. A lot of cleanup, new functionality merged from a fork, bug fixes, documentation etc.
