Release Notes 43.762
====================

picture.datatype 43.762

 o fixed a bug in DTM_WRITE and DTM_COPY methods. If an area was selected
   within a picture object, the datatype always stored the complete object.
   Now it properly stores the selected area only.

Release Notes 43.761
====================

picture.datatype 43.761

 o recompiled with SAS/C 6.58
 o the picture.datatype now implements the DTM_REMOVEDTOBJECT method to
   release all resources not required anymore

ilbm.datatype 43.10

 o now supports loading of HAM8 pictures for ECS machines.

gif.datatype 43.18

 o This datatype is not included in the aminet release archive due to
   lzw patent problems.
 o supports a missing GIF89 feature now.

Release Notes 43.760
====================

picture.datatype 43.760

 o bumped revision of picture.datatype to 760

PCDT Prefs 43.5

 o a CTRL_C break now correctly removes the user interface, too.

jfif.datatype 43.10

 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert"

pcx.datatype 43.6

 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert"

pbm.datatype 43.10

 o descriptors modified to avoid problems with v45 datatypes.library
 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert"

ilbm.datatype 43.7

 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert"

gif.datatype 43.17

   This datatype is not included in the aminet release archive due to
   lzw patent problems.

Release Notes 43.759
====================

picture.datatype 43.759

 o added DTM_OBTAINDRAWINFO and DTM_RELEASEDRAWINFO methods. This methods are
   needed for the new v45 datatypes.library. The code of this methods is
   loosely based on work of Roland Mainz (drawablepicdtc patch).
   With the inclusion of this 2 methods, v43 picture.datatype does not
   require the drawablepicdtc patch anymore. (DTM_DRAW was supported before
   already). Both methods are added to the list of supported methods, too.
   Please check out the latest datatypes.library v45 archive by Roland Mainz
   to get information on how this methods are used.
 o added DTM_DRAW to list of supported methods
 o method DTM_DRAW never really worked in previous picture.datatype v43
   releases because the width/height of the object was always calculated
   wrong. Now fixed.
