  CHANGES.txt : List the changes made between consecutive versions of The CImg Library
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.9 to 1.3.0
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 The 1.3.0 version of the CImg Library is a major release, and will probably break the
 compatibility with your existing code. Anyway, the overall philosophy is the same so
 converting your code should not require lot of work fortunately.
 * New features :
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::[get_]distance()' that compute the Euler unsigned distance map
         from a shape of specified isovalue in an image, using a fast linear algorithm.
       - Added functions 'CImg<>::set_linear_at{X,Y,Z}()' allowing to set pixel values using
         float-valued coordinates, with linear interpolation.
       - Added z-buffering capabilities in some drawing functions, so that displaying a
 D object with 'CImg<T>::draw_object3d()' now takes care of eventual crossing primitives.
         (added shortcut CTRL+Z to enable/disable zbuffering in 'CImg<T>::display_object3d()'.
       - Added functions 'CImgList<T>::is_same*()' to check dimensions of image lists.
       - Added plugin 'plugins/skeleton.h', as well as example of use 'examples/skeletonize.cpp' that
         computes the skeleton of a shape (binary image). Thanks to F-X Dupé for this nice contrib !
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::get_elevation3d()' that constructs a 3D object by 'elevating'
         an instance image.
       - In function 'CImg<T>::sharpen()', two sharpening methods are now implemented : shock filters
         and inverse diffusion.
       - Added function 'CImg[List]<T>::save_ffmpeg()', allowing to save an image sequence, directly
         as a movie file, using the FFMPEG library. Thanks to David. G. Starweather for this very nice
         contribution !
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::[get_]warp()' that can warp an image using a deformation field.
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::[get_]solve_tridiagonal()' that can quickly solve a tridiagonal linear
         system of equations (use the Thomas Algorithm).
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::[get_]load_dcraw_external()' that allows to read RAW digital camera files,
         using the open-source external tool 'dcraw'.
       - Added file 'examples/CMakeLists.txt' to generate makefile using the 'cmake' tool (thanks to
         Baptiste Mougel for this nice contribution).
       - Added functions 'CImg<T>::display_graph()' and 'CImg<T>::select_graph()' that can be used
         to display a graph plot or crop a sub-graph.
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::[get_]autocrop()' that can autocrop an image regarding to a background
         value or color.
       - Added new demo 'Word Puzzle' in file 'examples/CImg_demo.cpp'.
       - Added new plugin 'plugins/cimgIPL.h', as well as example file 'examples/use_cimgIPL.h' that shows
         how to convert between CImg and IplImage structures (used in OpenCV). Thanks to  Haibo Zheng for
         this nice contribution !
       - Function 'CImg<T>::load_ffmpeg()' is now able to return information on the main video stream, without
         having to load frames.
       - New function 'CImg[List]<T>::valuestring()' returns a C-string containing values of the image pixels.
       - Added file 'examples/gmic4gimp.cpp' which implements a G'MIC plug-in for GIMP.
       - Added file 'resources/cimg_buildpackage' which is a bash script that generates package files for CImg.
       - Added function 'cimg::prand()' which returns a random variable following a Poisson distribution.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
       - The API of the library has been quite largely modified. It means that the 1.3.0 release is
         not meant to be fully compatible with previous versions. This is the beginning of a new
         important branch.
       - Functions 'CImg[List]<T>::load()' can now check for magick numbers for determining file format
         (instead of using only their filename extension).
       - Cleaned lot of code in 'CImg<T>::draw_*()' functions. Few of them have now different signatures,
         particularly 'CImg<T>::draw_text()', 'CImg<T>::draw_spline()' and 'CImg<T>::draw_image()'.
       - Improved warning removal when compiling on Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. It is now very rare
         to get warnings when compiling CImg-based files !
       - Plugin 'plugins/distance_saito.h' has been removed, since a new and clean implementation of
         the distance function is now available in the 'CImg.h' file.
       - Function 'CImg<T>::equalize_histogram()' has been renamed to 'CImg<T>::equalize()'.
       - Functions 'CImg<T>::get_gradient()', 'CImg<T>::get_structure_tensor()' and 'CImg<T>::get_hessian()'
         now replaces the old versions.
       - Provided example file 'examples/inrcast.cpp' has been renamed and recoded as 'examples/gmic.cpp'.
         G'MIC is now an independant project, having its own web page : http://gmic.sourceforge.net/.
       - Plugin 'plugins/cimgmatlab.h' has been updated.
       - Added pipe support (for POSIX systems) in load/save functions using external tools, so that
         a temporary file is not necessary to read/write.
       - Function 'CImg<T>::load_analyze()' can now read niftii files directly using a FILE* argument.
       - Improved global structure of the CImg package.
       - Silent output for 'CImg<T>::{load_save}_ffmpeg_external()' on Windows.
       - Better zoom-in procedure in 'CImg<T>::display()'.
       - Function 'CImg<T>::get_hessian()' now allows to specify the set of desired axes.
       - Macros 'cimg_*_path' do not exist anymore. Instead, the user can dynamically change these paths used
         by CImg, by using functions' cimg::*_path()'.
       - Code corrections in order to compile without warnings on g++ 4.3 version.
       - Added 'windows' targets in the 'examples/Makefile', so compiling examples under MinGW is straightforward.
       - Added soft thresholding capability to 'CImg<T>::threshold()'.
 * Bug corrections :
       - Corrected bug related to X11 events on some Windows Managers, thanks to Rainer Steffens
         for his nice patch !
       - Corrected normalization bug that occured when doing inverse FFT of images, using libfftw3.
       - Corrected endianness problem when reading 16 bits PNM files.
       - Corrected small bug in 'CImg<T>::display()' : drawn coordinates were wrong when
         user had selected a region to zoom in.
       - Extension 'tiff' is now recognized in 'CImg<T>::load()'.
       - Corrected computation of variance (=0) when image has only one element.
       - Corrected y-range bug in 'CImg<T>::draw_ellipse()'.
       - Corrected bug in 'CImg<T>::save_pandore()' when saving int images on 64bits systems.
       - And many small bug corrections...
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
       - Added new example file 'examples/captcha.cpp', which can be used to draw captcha images. This is a very
         short and simple code, so it can be interesting for a first approach of CImg.
       - Added functions 'CImg<T>::scale_2x()' and 'CImg<T>::scale_3x()' allowing to upscale an image
         with a edge-directed algorithm (see 'http://scale2x.sourceforge.net/')
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::save_cpp()' allowing to save an image directly as a
         C/C++ source code.
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::draw_mandelbrot()' allowing to draw quadratic mandelbrot fractal set on images.
       - Added a new demo effect 'Fish-Eye Magnification' in file 'examples/CImg_demo.cpp'.
       - Added new fields in CImgDisplay for an easy test of keys pressing. Very useful for testing complicated combinations.
       - Added functions to read/save gzipped files.
       - Added compression option for .cimg files (requires the use of the 'zlib' library).
       - Added color conversions for CMY and CMYK color bases.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
       - Big code cleaning and re-organization in file 'CImg.h', making the things more clear.
       - Function 'CImg<T>::load_ascii()' has been modified to allow comments before specifying image
         dimensions.
       - Functions 'CImg[List]::print()' have been slightly modified to be more precise and clear. Also used
         in functions 'CImg[List]::display()'.
       - Improved functionalities of the image processing tool 'inrcast.cpp'.
       - Improved 'CImg[List]<T>::display()' function allowing easy navigation and zooming in images.
       - Add native use of ffmpeg libraries to load video sequences (Thanks to David Starkweather for his nice contribution !)
       - Optimized function 'CImg<T>::permute_axes' for common used cases (planar to interleaved RGB and RGBA).
       - Added parameter 'step_frame' in functions that can load video sequences,
         i.e. CImg[List]<T>::load_yuv(), CImg[List]<T>::load_tiff(), CImg[List]<T>::load_ffmpeg(), so that frames
         can be skipped when loading the video files.
       - Removed parameter 'events_type' in CImgDisplay functions. By default, a display is always catching all user
         events. Having different choices made slight problems between different architectures (and was not really
 	useful).
       - Removed plugin 'plugins/toolbox3d.h'. Functions of the plug-ins are now natively integrated into the CImg.h file,
         as well as the LibBoard library support.
       - Renamed functions 'CImg<>::*pix?d()' to 'CImg<>::*at?()'.
 * Bug corrections :
       - Small bug in functions 'CImg[List]::contains()' were corrected.
       - Bug correction in function 'CImg<T>::[get_]stats()' : offset of min and max values were sometimes incorrect.
       - Bug correction in CImgDisplay events for Windows-based OS. When mouse leaved a window, coordinates
         didn't reset to -1 sometimes.
       - Small non-computational bug correction in 'CImg<T>::symmetric_eigen()'.
       - Removed g++ warning that occured when using 'libpng' ('warning: argument 'xxx' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or 'vfork').
       - Corrected small illumination bug with double sided 3D objects in CImg<T>::draw_object3d().
       - And a lot of other small improvements and bug corrections...
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
       - Added native Carbon support in CImgDisplay. Allows to run CImg on MacOSX without installing X11.
         This is a beta support, so not activated by default. Define 'cimg_use_carbon' to enable it.
         Many Thanks to Adrien Reboisson, Romain Blei and Jean-Marie Favreau for this nice contribution.
         Any comments and contributions are welcome.
       - Added variant of 'CImgList<T>::remove()' that can remove several images from a CImgList<T> list
         at the same time.
       - Added new numbered macros 'cimg_plugin1...8', for easy inclusion of multiple CImg plug-ins.
       - Added plugin 'plugins/distance_saito.h' that implements the Saito's distance transform.
       - Added function 'CImg<T>::blur_patch()' that performs a patch-based Tikhonov flow on the image.
         Allows to denoise and regularize image quite well (is time-consuming anyway).
       - Functions 'CImg<T>::load_tiff()', 'CImgList<T>::load_tiff()', 'CImg<T>::save_tiff()' and
         'CImgList<T>::save_tiff()' has been (re)-coded. It is now possible to read/save multi-pages tif
         image files worriless.
       - Native support for 'icc' compiler (Intel C++ compiler) added in the Makefile.
         Just type 'make CC=icc olinux' to compile using icc (offers nice performances in code optimization).
       - Started support of OpenMP directives, to allow parallelization of CImg functions in order to
         improve performances. Not few used, by this could change in the future.
       - Added functions to load/save video sequences using the external tool FFMPEG (http://http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/).
         'inrcast' is now able to read video sequences using FFMPEG.
       - Added new color basis conversions : RGBtoHSI(), HSItoRGB(), HSLtoRGB() (Thanks to Cesar Martinez for his
         contribution).
       - Added example file 'examples/radon_transform.cpp', provided by David G. Starkweather (Thanks guy!).
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
       - The main library file 'CImg.h' is now distributed under dual license CeCILL or CeCILL-C.
       - Patched function 'CImg<T>::load_tiff()' for a better support of float-valued tiff images.
       - Renamed 'CImg<T>::inverse()' as 'CImg<T>::invert()' and 'CImg<>::pseudoinverse()' as 'CImg<T>::pseudoinvert()'.
       - Function 'CImg<T>::displacement_field()' has been modified to consider a multi-valued geometry
         for motion detection (so color images are naturally taken into account now).
       - Optimized functions 'CImg<T>::dilate()' and 'CImg<T>::erode()'
       - Slightly optimized pixel access and display rendering functions.
       - Used native mutex mechanism of X11 instead of the pthread library.
       - Removed deprecated example file 'examples/pslider.cpp'.
       - Renamed 'cimg::PI' to 'cimg::valuePI' to avoid compilation problems with some C++ compilers that define
         the PI macro.
       - Added specular type lightning in routines that draw 3D objects. Parameters 'specular_light' and
         'specular_shine' replace the old 'ambient_light' parameter.
 * Bug corrections :
      - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::draw_polygon()' : wrong scanlines were drawn with some complex polygons.
      - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::convolve()' and 'CImg<T>::correlate()'. Happened when dealing with non square
        masks with even dimensions.
      - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::save_png()' and 'CImg<T>::load_png()' when dealing with 16 bits
        images in little-endian proc.
      - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::get_coordinates()' when dealing with 2-channels images.
      - Bug corrected, 2-channels images were not correctly displayed (blue channel was used instead of being 0).
      - And a lot of other small bug corrections...
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
      - Added functions 'CImg<T>::get_haar()', 'CImg<T>::haar()' allowing to compute the direct and
      inverse Haar multiscale transform on 2D or 3D images.
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::get_hessianXY()' and 'CImg<T>::get_hessianXYZ()' that compute
      the components of the hessian matrix of a 2D or 3D image.
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::variancemean()' able to compute the variance and mean value of
      an image at the same time.
      - Added new macros for 'cimg_for_out*' and 'cimg_for_in*' families, all combinations are
      now fully handled.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
      - Modified 'CImg<T>::get_resize()'. Moving average is now defined to be interp=2. Additional
      parameter 'center' has been added so that centering image is possible when upsizing with interp=0.
 * Bug corrections :
      - Critical bug correction has been made for non-const functions taking a const T& or const t& argument.
      'const T&' arguments have mainly been replaced by 'const T' arguments, in order to avoid wrong references
      problems. Thanks to Jinwei Gu who pointed this out to me.
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
      - Added functions 'CImg<T>::fillV(), CImg<T>::fillZV() and CImg<T>::fillYZV()' allowing to set image values
      at a specified pixel and along specified axes.
      - Added variant of 'CImg<T>::get_dijkstra()' allowing to use any function/class for definition of weights.
      - Added new interpolation technique (moving average) in 'CImg<T>::resize()' allows very precise image downsizing.
        (Thanks to François Lauze who provided me with some of its code).
      - Added lot of new and useful neighborhood loop macros.
        A new executable 'examples/generate_loop_macros.cpp' allows to generate
 D loops for arbitrary neighborhood size. A new plugin 'plugins/loop_macros.h' has been created, containing
        all loops NxN (until N=32) and NxNxN (until N=8).
      - Added separate component and YCbCr color base processing in options of 'examples/greycstoration.cpp'
      - Added macros 'cimg_argument?()' allowing to retrieve command lines that are not options (not beginning with a '-').
      - Added shortcut 'CTRL+O' in 'CImg<T>::get_coordinates()' allowing to save visualized instance image into a .cimg file.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
      - Macros with neighborhood loops have been extended and simplified. Some of the previous ones have been deleted,
        others have appeared. Basically, no functionnalities have been removed.
      - Macro 'cimg_version' is now 126 instead of 1.26, allowing easy comparison with integer values.
      - Changed traits name in cimg:: for more coherence.
      - New design of the website and new sexy flyer available (Thanks to Sebastien Hanel).
 * Bug corrections :
      - Corrected function 'CImg<T>::cubic_pix[1,2]d()'.
      - Corrected bug in 'CImg<T>::blur_median()'.

        RGB and Bayer-coded representation of an image.
      - Added functions CImg[List]<T>::min(), max(), mean(), variance(), get_stats(), and contains()
        to deal easily with image statistics (class CImgStats is now obsolete and has been moved to
        plugin 'plugins/deprecated.h').
      - Added versions of 'CImg[List]<T>::get_*()' as external functions,
        so writting 'res=cos(img)*5;' is valid.
      - Added postfix versions 'CImg[List]<T>::operator++(int)' and 'CImg[List]<T>::operator--(int)'.
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::djikstra()' that can compute a minimal path in a graph.
      - Added new constructor able to construct a new image from the dimensions of another one.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
      - Recoded 'CImg<T>::save_magick()' to improve performances when saving images using Magick++ API.
      - Recoded 'CImg<T>::draw_fill()' to avoid crashes on large (volumetric) images due to stack overflow.
        Also added parameters to choose between 4 or 8 connexity for 2D images.
      - Added simple point representation in 'CImg<T>::draw_graph()'.
       -> Note that the gtype variable values have been redefined as well !!! <-
      - Added parameter 'CImg<T>::quantize()' that allows possible value renormalization.
      - Improved documentation.
      - Drawing functions accept now templated color pointer, as well as templated image containing color data.
      - Recoded Deriche filter. More fast and precise, some cases were buggy.
      - Removed class CImgStats (moved to plugin 'plugins/deprecated.h').
      - Removed unuseful image copies in some functions.

 * Changes from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
      - Added macro 'cimg_for_lineXY(x,y,x0,y0,x1,y1)' that loops over an image segment (x0,y0)-(x1,y1).
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::draw_polygon()' that draws a filled polygon of any shape in the instance image.
      - Added macros 'cimg_load_plugin', 'cimg_save_plugin', 'cimglist_load_plugin' and 'cimglist_save_plugin'
        allowing to easily add file support for your own data format.
      - Added plugin 'plugins/add_fileformat.h' to show how to use these new macros to register a new
        image format in CImg.
      - Added version of 'CImg[List]<T>::{load,save}_cimg()' that is able to read/write only sub-images of
        data stored in a (big) .cimg file.
      - Added an online chat on the CImg website, so that users can interact freely.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
      - Added functions 'CImg[List]<T>::save_empty_cimg()' that can be used to work with very large images.
        You can now create first an empty (big) image, then load/save sub-images into this big .cimg file,
        without needing much memory.
      - Slightly modified the header of .cimg files, so little/big endian info is stored.
      - Reorganized some 'CImg[List]<T>::load_*()' functions, trying to avoid unnecessary memory usage.
      - Recoded versions of CImg<T>::draw_triangle() that now use the Bresenham's algorithm for interpolation
       (more precise, while using only integer calculus).
      - Added versions of 'CImg<T>::draw_triangle()' and 'CImg<T>::draw_line()' that are able to map textures
       while correctly handling the perspective correction, so that 3D mapped triangles look correct now.
 * Bug corrections :
      - Corrected a small bug in get_coordinates() : channels of hyperspectral images with (dim>3) where
        subsampled instead of cropped for image visualization.
      - And many small bug corrections...
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
      - Added file 'example/tron.cpp', implementing a very simple version of the
      famous 'Tron' game (2 players).
      - Added constructor that create a CImg<T> from the content of a CImgDisplay window.
      - Added support of the 'Board' library in plugin 'plugins/toolbox3d.h', allowing
      the saving of 3D objects snapshots in SVG, EPS or FIG vector-graphics formats.
      - Added function 'CImgList<T>::[get]_split()' that can split all image of an
      an image list into a specified axis.
      - Added sphere primitive in 'CImg<T>::draw_object3d()'.
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::ellipsoid()' in 'plugins/toolbox3d.h'.
      - Added useful new constructors 'CImg<T>()' and 'CImgList<T>()' with variable
      numbers of parameters that can define images or image lists initialized with
      user-specified values. Example :
      CImg<float> img(3,2,1,1, 1,2,3, 4,5,6); defines image [ 1,2,3; 4,5,6 ].
      CImgList<unsigned char> list(3,1,3,1,1, 1,0,0, 0,1,0, 0,0,1); defines
      list of three vectors { [1;0;0], [0;1;0], [0;0;1] }.
      - Added poly-bezier curve drawing, with 'CImg<T>::draw_spline()' overload.
      - Added file 'examples/jawbreaker.cpp', implementing a very funny games featuring
      small colored balls.
      - Added demo '3D Reflection' in 'examples/CImg_test.cpp' showing some tricky uses

      - Added optional support of the LAPACK library for matrix computation.
      Define macro 'cimg_use_lapack' and link your code with LAPACK to enable it
      (LAPACK routines are slightly faster routines than native CImg ones).
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::get_constrast_LUT8()' function which returns a 256 colors
      palette that has nice properties of being well contrasted when color indices are
      close to eachothers.
      - Added function 'CImg<T>::get_rainbow_LUT8()' that returns a rainbow-type palette.

      - Renamed 'CImg<T>::feature_selection()' as 'CImg<T>::get_coordinates()'
      (for better coherence with overall function names). Include 'plugins/deprecated.h' for backward
      compatibility.
      - Optimized function 'CImg<T>::draw_line()'.
      - Recoded function 'CImg<T>::draw_circle()', uses now the more precise Bresenham's circle
      algorithm.

     'CImg<T>::get_resize_object3d()' and 'CImgList<T>::get_resize_object3d()' to ease resizing and
     centering 3d objects.
     - Added function 'CImgDisplay::set_mouse()' to set the mouse pointer coordinates (X11 only).
     - Added functions 'CImg<T>::atan()', 'CImg<T>::acos()', 'CImg<T>::asin()' and their get_* counterparts.

     or on modal windows, even when 'cimg_display_type' is not 0.
     - Updated CImg presentation slides in 'documentation/slides_cimg.pdf', more complete now.
     - Added new directories in path search for 'convert' and 'medcon' and 'temporary path'.
     'convert' or 'medcon' found in the current directory './' now override the default ones.
     - Added safer support for Windows 64bits.
     - Improved version of 'cimg::info()' for debugging facilities. Now displays almost every
     important library variables and parameters.
     - Static version of CImg<T>::sequence() now return a column vector instead of a line.
     - Slightly changed the tracking algorithm and few other things in 'examples/dtmri_view.cpp',
       allowing more precision in the fiber computation.
     - Modified the 'CImg<T>::feature_selection()' function : replaced the moving hatch by a static
     one, less fun but also less time consuming. One small selection bug for 3D volumes has been
     also corrected.
     - Corrected line routine for 64bits architectures.
     - Replaced 'CImg<T>::scroll()' by 'CImg<T>::translate()'.

     - Improved the cimg::system() function.
     - Added some tests and display extra warnings when saving images with wrong formats.
 * Bug corrections :
     - Corrected small bug in 'CImg<>::blur_anisotropic()', 'examples/greycstoration.cpp' and 'plugins/greycstoration4integration.h'.
     - And lot of minor bug corrections and optimizations .....
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.6 to 1.1.7
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
     - Added 'operator<<()' and 'operator>>()' for bit shift operations on all images pixels.
     - Added most of mathematical operators in the 'CImgList' class.
     - Added new demo 'Image Waves' in 'examples/CImg_demo.cpp'.
     - Added mouse wheel support on Windows (incomplete!)
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Renamed class 'CImgl' into 'CImgList', also renamed macro 'cimgl_map' to 'cimglist_map'.
       Backward compatibility is assured in 1.1.7 version, but think about replacing the old names
       by the new ones for future CImg versions.
     - Removed 'operator<<()' which appended an image to another one
     - Recoded lot of non in-place mathematical operators to avoid numerical truncations.
     It may have a great influence on your code. For instance writting '0.5+img' will result in a CImg<double>
     image, even if 'img' was a CImg<float>.
     - Recoded most of 'CImg<T>::get_resize()' function : linear interpolation performs now really faster, and
     an additional parameter allows to select between different conditions for border values.
     - Recoded 'CImg<T>::draw_line()' so that it now uses a classical Bresenham algorithm, avoiding rounding errors.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::draw_axe' as 'CImg<T>::draw_axis'.
 * Bug corrections :

 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
     - Added DTMRI volumetric file viewer, in 'examples/dtmri_view.cpp'.
     - Added 3D sprite display support in 'CImg<T>::draw_object3d()'.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Rewritten a lot of constructor/assignments functions for CImg<T> and CImgl<T>.
      Removed shared capabilities of CImgl<T>, but improved these ones for CImg<T>.
 * Bug corrections :
     - And lot of minor bug corrections and optimizations .....
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
     - Added plugin 'CImg/primitives3d.h', adding functions that can generate
       basic 3D triangulated primitives.
     - Added Poisson noise capability in CImg<T>::noise() (This patch has been proposed by Jerome Boulanger)
     - Added wheel mouse support in 'CImgDisplay', now used in 'CImg<>::feature_selection()' to go through slices of
 D volumes (unfortunately for X11 systems only).
     - Added function 'CImgDisplay::toggle_fullscreen()' to allow easy and dynamic fullscreen switching of a display.
     - Added screen resolution switching capabilities when using the Xrandr extension, under X11 (#define cimg_use_xrandr).
     - Added support for ImageMagick++ built-in library (parts of the patch proposed by Christoph Hormann).
     - And lot of small functions to ease the life...
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - CeCiLL-C license now applies for the file 'CImg.h'. This license (close to the LGPL one) is more adapted
       for library components as CImg. The examples stay in previous CeCiLL license (close to the GPL one).
     - Recoded 'CImg<T>::draw_axe?()' (where ? can be 'X','Y' or 'XY') so that it can now be used to draw non-linear values along axes
       (for instance logarithmic-varying labels).
     - Attribute 'force' have been removed in 'CImgDisplay::resize()'.
     - Recoded most constructors and assign functions in CImg<T> and CImgl<T>.
     - Recoded most of the CImgDisplay class to allow more flexibility and refreshing speed.
     - Renamed 'CImgDisplay::title()' to 'CImgDisplay::set_title()'. 'CImgDisplay::title' is now a class variable
       that stores the current title of the display window.
     - 'CImgDisplay::closed', 'CImgDisplay::resized', 'CImgDisplay::fullscreen' and 'CImgDisplay::moved' have been
       renamed to 'CImgDisplay::is_closed', 'CImgDisplay::is_resized', 'CImgDisplay::is_fullscreen' and
       'CImgDisplay::is_moved', for more coherent variable names.
     - 'CImg<T>::display_object3d()' : can now specify an input pose matrix, as well as get the output pose matrix,
       after the user rotated the object. Also, this function has been optimized.
 * Bug corrections :
     - Corrected sorting bug in 'CImg<T>::symmetric_eigen()' and 'CImg<T>::SVD()'
     - When using shared memory images, some 'CImg<T>::get_*()' methods returned a shared memory image too.
     - And lot of minor bug corrections and optimizations .....
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------

     - Added fullscreen mode support on X11-based systems.
     - Added CImg<>::save_dicom(), allowing to save DICOM files, via XMedcon.
     - Added phong-like rendering capabilities in 'CImg<T>::draw_triangle()' and 'CImg<T>::draw_object3d()'.
     - Added a directory 'plugins/' that contains some useful CImg plugins, developed by third parties.
     - Added bicubic interpolation option in functions 'CImg<T>::get_rotate()'
     - Added new example 'Fireworks' in 'examples/CImg_demo.cpp'.
     - Added new fonts with increasing sizes that can be used in 'CImg<T>::draw_text()'.
       Also simplified function 'CImg<T>::get_font()', and added size parameter in 'CImg<T>::draw_text()'.
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Optimized 'CImg<T>::get_resize()'.
     - Allows the use of the MIT-XSHM extension for X11-based display, allowing to speed up CImgDisplay rendering
     (roughly a factor of 3 when using this extension).
     - Optimized CImgDisplay::render() for X11-based systems. Image display is now faster (roughly a factor of 2.5).
     - Modified CImg<>::display_object3d() : keyboard is now not handled, added translation using 3rd mouse button.
       Added small axes at the bottom left to see object orientation.
     - Removed some unuseful 'const' keywords in some function return values, removing warnings
       when compiling with icc or icl.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::RGBtoYCbCr8()' to 'CImg<T>::RGBtoYCbCr()' (and derived functions).
     - Gathered 'CImg<T>::dirichlet_pix?d()' and 'CImg<T>::neumann_pix?d()' in a single function 'CImg<T>::pix?d()'.

 * Bug corrections :
     - Corrected bug with X11 displays : sometimes, black images were displayed, needing an explicit refresh.
     - Corrected bug with X11 displays related to ClientMessage. Windows are not closed when other applications are opened.
     - Corrected 'CImgl<T>::remove()' : Wrong memory deallocation could happen sometimes.
     - And lot of minor bug corrections and optimizations .....
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * New features :
     - Added a new example source file 'examples/image_surface.cpp', that renders an image as a surface in a 3D space.
     - Added a new example source file 'examples/mcf_levelsets3D.cpp', that performs Mean Curvature Flow of a 2D surface, using level sets.
     - Added a version of 'CImg<T>::draw_triangle()' that can draw Gouraud-shaded triangles (flat and textured versions).
     - Added 'CImg<T>::get_rotation_matrix()' that returns a 3x3 rotation matrix from a quaternion or a rotation vector.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::draw_object3d()' that can draw a colored/textured 3d object on images.
     - Added 'CImgDisplay::display_object3d()' and 'CImg<T>::display_object3d()' which run a high-level interface that
       can view a user-defined 3d object.
     - Added two 3D rendering examples in 'examples/CImg_test.cpp', that shows how to use 3D rendering capabilities of CImg in few lines.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::marching_cubes()' and 'CImg<T>::marching_squares' that can be used to triangularize an implicit 2D or 3D
       curve or surface from an image or a function.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::get_load_off()' and 'CImg<T>::save_off()' that manages OFF files
       (files describing 3D object, GeomView format, see 'http://www.geomview.org/').
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Removed the 'multiplexed' variable in one of the CImg constructor. This feature as not generic enough to be integrated
       in a constructor, and is so simple to code (one line).. This has been replaced by the new 'shared' capabilities of CImg.
     - Added a 'shared' variable in CImg<T> and CImgl<T>. This allows to completely remove CImgSubset<T> and CImglSubset<T>, and
       allows more flexibility for using shared memory. A lot of functions relative to shared-memory images have been added also.
       Please look closely to the online reference.
     - Added a fast approximation method in 'examples/greycstoration.cpp' (set by default) allowing to speed up the
       restoration process almost by a factor x3.
     - Recoded 'CImg<T>::get_dilate()' and 'CImg<T>::get_erode()' : it is now possible to specify a structuring element.
     - Due to high difficulty in maintaing all project files in the 'compilation/' directory, I removed most of them except one
       template file for each different C++ IDE. Just replace the default source file 'CImg_test.cpp' in the project file by the one
       you want, to compile you desired example.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::get_2dprojections()' to 'CImg<T>::get_projections2d()'.
     - Removed 'examples/render3d.cpp'. As CImg has now built-in functions for 3D rendering, this example was obsolete.
       Look at the new example appearing in 'examples/CImg_test.cpp' to see how to do easy 3D rendering with CImg.
 * Bug corrections :
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::cubic_pix1d()' and 'CImg<T>::cubic_pix2d()', used for cubic and bicubic interpolations.
     - Corrected 'cimg_map2x2()' and 'cimg_map4x4()' to avoid warning when compiling with g++.
     - Added a simple trick to ease the use of libjpeg and libpng on Windows (thanks to bugzhao).
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::load_jpeg()' and 'CImg<T>::save_jpeg()' to handle all possible color spaces used in JPEG files.
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::get_split()' to avoid bug with very large images.
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::load_dicom()' and 'cimg::medcon_path()' to ease the loading of medcon files on Windows.
     - And lot of minor bug corrections....
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Bug corrections :
     - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::load_ppm()' and 'CImg<T>::save_ppm()' : 16 bits PPM images were not correctly stored.
     - (Stupid) bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::get_sort()' : Return value was a reference to a temporary object.
     - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::resize_halfXY()' that caused a possible segmentation fault.
     - Bug corrected in 'CImg<T>::move()' : Moving an hidden window (on X11) is now working.
     - Handling pixel access to const images : writing pixel values in const images is now forbidden.
     - 'CImg<T>::det()' : Determinant of general matrices can now be computed.
     - 'CImgDisplay' : Added some changes in Microsoft-specific function call to be able to compile with Visual Studio 2005. This compiler seems to be 'buggy', I had very strange behaviors at run-time with it (changing an 'int' to 'const int' declaration solves a 'problem' in CImg<>::draw_ellipse() that was present only with this compiler...)
     - 'CImg<>::load_dlm()' : small bug corrected. Can now read DLM files with no CR at the last line.
     - And other small corrections....
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - In 'CImg<T>::save_convert()', the temporary file is now saved in PNM format, instead of RGBA as before. This has been done
       because of a strange bug in ImageMagick's convert, refusing to read some RGBA files.
     - CImgDisplay::move() now shows automatically the display when it is in a closed state.
     - Moved the trait cimg_library::largest<T,t> in cimg_library::cimg::largest<T,t>.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::quicksort()' to 'CImg<T>::sort()'.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::create()' and 'CImg<T>::copy()' to 'CImg<T>::assign()'.
     - 'CImg<T>::inverse()' can now uses the LU matrix decomposition (or the SVD one as before).
     - Optimized memory handling when playing with lists of images CImgl<>.
     - Optimized some CImg<T> constructors.
 * New features :
     - Added a new demo : 'Blobs Editor' in CImg_test.cpp.
     - Added types 'CImg<T>::iterator', 'CImg<T>::const_iterator', 'CImgl<T>::iterator' and 'CImgl<T>::const_iterator' to allow
       the easy use of STL algorithms on CImg and CImgl structures.
     - Added several functions that acts like in STL vectors and lists in CImg<T> and CImgl<T> :
       CImg<T>::assign(), CImg<T>::clear(), CImg<T>::at(), CImg<T>::back(), CImg<T>::front(), CImg<T>::begin(), CImg<T>::end(),
       CImgl<T>::assign(), CImgl<T>::clear(), CImgl<T>::at(), CImgl<T>::back(), CImgl<T>::front(),
       CImgl<T>::begin(), CImgl<T>::end(), CImgl<T>::push_back(), CImgl<T>::push_front(), CImgl<T>::pop_back(), CImgl<T>::pop_front().
     - Added 'CImg<T>::MSE()' and 'CImg<T>::PSNR()' that compute the MSE (Mean Squared Error) and PSNR
       (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between two images.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::solve()' and 'CImg<T>::get_solve()', allowing to solve linear systems.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::pseudoinverse()' and 'CImg<T>::get_pseudoinverse()' allowing to compute the Moore-Penrose
       matrix inverse (useful for computing solutions to the least-square problem).
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Bug corrections :
     - in 'CImgl<T>::insert()' : Insertion at non-last position was bugged.
     - in 'greycstoration.cpp' : Corrected some bugs in the algorithm and improved user interface.
     - in 'CImg<T>::blur_anisotropic()' : Abusive vector normalization was done before. Now it is corrected.
     - And many other bugs...
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Removed macros 'cimg_test*()' and modified argument checking in most of the functions, so that trying to act
     on an empty image does nothing instead of an error.
     - Renamed all static methods CImg<T>::load*() into CImg<T>::get_load*(). This has been done to be coherent with
     the naming convention of other CImg methods. Also, added new functions CImg<T>::load*() (non static) that corresponds
     to in-place image loading.
     - Renamed CImg RAW extension from .raw to .cimg. .raw files are not considered as real raw data without
     header. New functions 'CImg<T>::load_get_raw()' and 'CImg<T>::save_raw()' have been added to load and save .raw files.
     - In 'greycstoration.cpp' : improved algorithm and parameters. Also add improved visualization tool at the end
       of the image regularization.
     - Replaced some cimg:: static functions to inlined one, to prevent compiler bug on VS7.1, when trying
       to link multiple CImg-based modules.
     - Replaced parameter 'linear' to 'scheme' in 'CImg<T>::blur_anisotropic()', allowing the use of 2nd order
       Runge-Kutta integration, instead of just nearest-neighbor or linear ones.
 * New features :
     - Introduced a trait 'cimg::largest' that allows to find the largest data type between two types. CImg functions
     use it for instance to return a CImg<float>, when trying to compute the gradient of an CImg<unsigned char>.
     It was not the case before, needing an explicit case, as in 'CImg<float>(img).get_gradientXY()'.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::operator<<', 'CImgl<T>::operator<<' and 'CImgl<T>::operator>>' that allows to
     insert images in list or append an image to another one.
     - New project file for using with X-Code (on Mac OS X) has been added to the 'compilation/' directory.
      Thanks to Werner Jainek who made it possible.
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.0.9 to 1.1.0
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Bug corrections :
     - in 'CImg<T>::load_raw()' : possible buffer overflow corrected.
     - in 'CImg<T>::load_dlm()' : the use of std::rewind() didn't work when reading the standart input. Function has been
       recoded so it reads the file in one pass.
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::anisotropic_blur()'.
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::symeigen()' : corrected computation bugs.
     - Corrected 'CImg<T>::get_resize()' : linear and bicubic interpolations were not correctly handled (minor).
     - Corrected 'CImgDisplay' to avoid malloc/dealloc problem with newer versions of X11.
     - Corrected 'CImgDisplay' to handle better thread termination under X11 (Unix and MacOSX).
     - Corrected 'greycstoration.cpp' (small bug in inpainting and non-curvature scheme).
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Updated documentation.
     - Modified Makefile for direct compilation of executables under Linux (ex : make CImg_test).
     - Modified Exceptions error messages for more simplicity and clarity.
     - Removed parameter 'alpha' in 'CImg<T>::get_gradientXY()' and 'CImg<T>::get_gradientXYZ()'.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::flip()' to 'CImg<T>::mirror()'.
     - Renamed 'CImg<T>::get_3dplanes()' to 'CImg<T>::get_2dprojections()'.
     - Renamed 'CImgROI<T>' to 'CImgSubset<T>'. Also removed functions 'CImg<T>::ref_*' and replaced it by
     'CImg<T>::pointset()', 'CImg<T>::lineset', 'CImg<T>::planeset' and 'CImg<T>::channelset'.
 * New features :
     - Added 'CImg<T>::RGBtoLUT()' and 'CImg<T>::LUTtoRGB()' that convert an RGB image to an indexed image (using a palette).
     - Added 8 bits display mode support in CImgDisplay.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::RGBtoHSV()' and 'CImg<T>::HSVtoRGB()' that handle the conversion from and to HSV color space.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::kth_smallest()' and 'CImg<T>::median()' that find respectively the kth smallest
       element and the median of values in a CImg<T> instance.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::blur_median()' and 'CImg<T>::get_blur_median()' that apply a median filter on an image.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::load_parrec()' able to read PAR-REC (Philips) image file formats.
     - Added 'CImgDisplay::title()' that can be used to change the display window title.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::RGBtoYUV()' and 'CImg<T>::YUVtoRGB()' that convert between RGB and YUV color spaces.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::RGBtoYCbCr8()' and 'CImg<T>::YCbCr8toRGB()' that convert between RGB and YCbCr color spaces (for unsigned char
     pixels).
     - Added 'CImg<T>::has_same*()' where * can be 'X','Y','Z','XY','XYZ','XYZV' to compare image dimensions.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::is_empty()' that returns 'true' is the image is empty.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::load_dicom()' that loads an image in Dicom file format. This function uses the tool 'medcon' that
     has to be installed (http://xmedcon.sourceforge.net/).
     - Added 'CImg<T>::load_yuv()', 'CImgl<T>::load_yuv()' and 'CImg<T>::save_yuv()', 'CImgk<T>::save_yuv()'
      that load and save respectively one frame or the entire movie from a .yuv file.
     - Added 'CImglSubset<T>' which is a class that sub-references an image list 'CImgl<T>'.
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Bug corrections :
     - Memory leak corrected in 'CImg<T>::load_bmp()'.
     - CImg now supports the MIPS compiler on SGI (Thanks to Matt Hanson who made it possible).
     - Corrected non-global X11 variables in multi-module projects using CImg.h (thanks also to Matt Hanson for
     his precise bug report).
     - In CImg<T>::load_convert() and save_convert(), random filenames are now tested before read/write.
     - Removed unuseful template in 1D CImg<T>::draw_gaussian() function.
     - Recoded CImgDisplay::render() with XPutPixel() again for maximum compability between X11-based architectures.
     - In CImgStats, the variance field was computed actually as the standart deviation. This is now corrected, and the variance
     is really the variance !
 * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - CImgDisplay fields mousex and mousey changed to fields mouse_x and mouse_y. This is done to be more coherent
     with other CImgDisplay fields. The inconvenience should be minor, just replace the fields by the right names.
     - CImgDisplay functions window_posx() and window_posy() changed to fields window_x and window_y.
     - Eigenvalue computation with CImg<T>::eigen() and symeigen() sorts the eigenvalues in inverse order from now on.
     The eigenvector matrix is also transposed, to be more close to the standart functions in eigenvalue computation.
     - Renamed macro variable 'cimg_lapack' in 'cimg_use_lapack'.
     - CImg<T>::save() can now handle alpha channel in PNG images (with 4-channels images).
     - Recoded CImg<T>::noise() to handle numerical limits in template types (esp. for unsigned char and char).
     - Recoded CImg<T>::pow() to be faster with usual int powers (0,1,2,3,4).
     - Added conversions functions for all color spaces (R,G,B), (X,Y,Z), (x,y,Y) and (L,a,b).
     - Added a 'pattern' parameter in 'CImg<T>::draw_ellipse()' and 'CImg<T>::draw_circle()', so that
     only the outline of the ellipse/circle can be drawn.
     - Added an ellipse-based selection in CImg<T>::feature_selection(), when parameter 'feature_type' is set to 3.
 * New features/functions :
     - Added an 'Image Zoomer' demo in 'CImg_test.cpp'.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::load_jpeg()' and 'CImg<T>::save_jpeg()' to deal natively with JPEG files, through
       the libjpeg library. You don't need ImageMagick's convert anymore to read and save JPEG files.
       Just define the macro 'cimg_use_jpeg before including 'CImg.h', and link your code with the 'jpeg' lib,
        and it should work fine.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::quicksort()' allowing to sort values inside vectors, and getting corresponding permutations.
     - CImgDisplay::move() is now working well on Windows and Unix.
     - Added 'CImg<T>::SVD()' to compute the SVD of general matrices. The inverse function as well
     as the eigenvalue computation (of symmetric matrices) now uses the SVD. It means that LAPACK is
     not necessary anymore in CImg !
     - Added 'CImgDisplay::screen_dimx()' and 'CImgDisplay::screen_dimy()' to get the resolution of the
     current (full) screen.
     - Added a new 10x13 font, and recoded the functions 'CImgl<T>::get_font();'
     - Added 'cimg::dialog()' that allows to open a simple dialog box with a maximum of 6 choices.
     - Added CImgROI<T>::operator=(), so that one can now affect a channel or plane to an image :
     img.ref_plane(2) = img_plane; Very useful !
     - Added CImg<T>::load_png() and save_png() to deal natively with PNG files, through
      the zlib and libpng libraries. You don't need ImageMagick's convert anymore
       to read and save PNG files. Just define the macro 'cimg_use_png' before including
       'CImg.h', and link your code with the 'zlib' and the 'png' lib, and it should work fine.
        Many thanks to Eric Fausett, for this nice piece of code.
     - Added CImg<T>::load_rgb(), load_rgba(), save_rgb() and save_rgba() that can load and save
       Raw color image data (w/ or wo/ alpha channel).
     - Added CImg<T>::blur_anisotropic() that allows to denoise image by anisotropic filtering.
       Smoothing behavior can be even user-defined.
        Look at  " http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/~dtschump/greycstoration/ "
       to learn more about the image regularization technique implemented by this function.
    - ... an tons of minor corrections !
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
  * Bug corrections :
     - Removed useless button/keyboard reinitialization in CImgDisplay events
     - Corrected bug in CImg<T>::load_dlm() and load_ascii() functions.
     - Corrected compile bug in CImg<T>::resize_halfXY() and CImg<T>::get_resize_halfXY().
     - Corrected and optimized CImg<T>::get_resize().
  * Optimizations / Modifications :
     - Recoded CImg<T>::fill() for faster value filling.
     - Recoded CImg<T>::draw_graph(). IMPORTANT NOTE : ymin and ymax are now directed up to down, instead
       of down to up, in order to be more coherent with the draw_axeXY() function. This means you will
       probably have to swap the values of these two parameters in the function call, to get similar results
       to CImg 1.0.7 !!
     - Recoded CImg<T>::draw_gaussian() using tensors (parameters changed).
     - CImg is now successfully compiled using the option '-pedantic' with g++. Makefile has been modified.
     - CImg compiles with the DJGPP compiler (tested without display capabilities).
     - Added load/save support for 16bits PNM binary images.
     - Added interleaved mode support and template in constructor :
       template<typename t> CImg(const t *const data_buffer,dx,dy,dz,dv,bool interlaced)
     - Recoded parts of CImg<T>::eigen().
     - Optimized buffer copy in XImage, for faster image display under X11 (minor improvements).
     - Added fields in CImgStats, allowing to get the coordinates of the min/max pixels.
  * New features/functions :
     - Added CImg<T>::load_bmp() and save_bmp() to deal with uncompressed BMP formats, without using ImageMagick.
     - Added CImg<T>::vector(), CImg<T>::matrix() and CImg<T>::tensor().
     - Added CImg<T>::scroll() and CImg<T>::get_scroll to be able to scroll images.
     - Added functions CImg<T>::get_FFT() and CImgl<T>::FFT() for Fast Fourier Transform.
     - Added CImgDisplay::move() to be able to move display windows at specific locations.
     - Added several region split in CImg<T>::get_split().
     - Added 'examples/mcf_levelsets.cpp' : Mean curvature flow of a 2D curve, using level sets.
     - Added 'examples/greycstoration.cpp' : New algorithm for image denoising, inpainting and resizing.
       (see http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/~dtschump/greycstoration)
     - Added 'examples/wavelet_atrous.cpp' (by R. Peteri) : Wavelet decomposition of a image.
     - Added a Fourier-based filtering demo in 'CImg_test.cpp', allowing interactive frequency filter creation.
     - Added an Image to ASCII converter, based on simple correlation measure. File : 'examples/image2ascii.cpp'.
  * Abandonned features :
     - Removed bump mapped version of the CImg<T>::draw_triangle() function.
     - Removed 'examples/inpainter.cpp' which is a little bit buggy (problem with multiscale).
     - Removed 'CImg<T>::new_display()' and 'CImgl<T>::new_display', which are confusing and useless. Use
       'new CImgDisplay(img)' and 'new CImgDisplay(list)' instead.
     - Removed 'CImg<T>::get_stats()' and 'CImgl<T>::get_stats', which are useless. Use 'CImgStats(img)'
       and 'CImgStats(list)'.
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
 * Changes from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7
 *-----------------------------
 *-----------------------------
  - New License : CImg is now distributed under the CeCiLL License, a free software GPL-like, more adapted
    to French laws. Don't be disturbed by this new License, CImg is still an open source free software !
  - Encapsulation of all CImg classes and functions in the 'cimg_library::' namespace. It avoids eventual
    class names collisions with other libraries. For compatility with your old code, you should
    insert 'using namespace cimg_library;', just after the '#include "CImg.h"' line, in your source code.
  - Removed global typedefs for uchar,uint,ushort,ulong. If you used them before, you'll have to redefine them :
    typedef unsigned char uchar;
    typedef unsigned short ushort;
    typedef unsigned int uint;
    typedef unsigned long ulong;
  - Corrected window resize bug on X11 displays.
  - Added PANDORE-4 file format support, with functions 'CImg::load_pandore()' and 'CImg::save_pandore()' (file extension : .pan)
    (PANDORE is a C++ toolkit for image processing, see http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/~regis/Pandore (in French))
  - Added macros CImg_3x3_ref(), CImg_5x5_ref(), .. allowing to use special loops cimg_map3x3,.. with references to C arrays and images.
  - Removed 'normalize' parameter in 'CImg::save()'. Saving normalized images can be still performed
    with 'img.normalize(0,255).save("normalized_image.jpg");'. This clarifies the code and doesn't add so much work at all.
  - Renamed 'CImg::get_sprite()' and 'CImg::sprite()' to 'CImg::get_crop()' and 'CImg::crop()'.
  - Changed 'draw_triangle' function with two textures, so that it corresponds to displacement mapping
    (aka 'bump mapping'), instead of two textures drawn with transparencies
    (which can be still made by two successive calls to single-textured 'draw_triangle' functions,
    with correct opacities).
  - Negative opacity parameter in drawing functions is now supported. It allows to ADD shapes colors to the current
    image pixels (see the new 'ShadeBobs demo in the CImg_test.cpp file to see the concept).
  - Added functions 'CImg::draw_axeX', 'CImg::draw_axeY' and 'CImg::draw_axeXY', allowing to trace labelled axes on images.
  - Slightly changes in CImgDisplay : field 'attributes' has been removed, and replaced by more
    comprehensive field names : events, normalize, fullscreen. Resizing capabilities is now removed
    since all windows can be resized by default.
  - 'CImg<>::load_convert()' and 'CImg<>::save_convert()' do not popup a console window anymore on Windows-based OS,
    when creating code with a WinMain() entry.
  - RGB<->BGR Color inversion problem on some old Unix displays has been corrected.
  - Makefile for compilation on Solaris has been updated.
  - Package structure has been slightly modified for more clarity. Renamed also the CVS module to 'CImg' instead of 'CImg_'
  - Added different compilers projects to ease the compilation of the CImg examples, including
    Visual C++ 6.0, Visual.NET2003, Borland Bcc 5.6, Digital Mars Compiler, Dev-Cpp, Intel ICL.
  - Removed the use of TrackMouseEvent mechanism on Windows, removing compilation bugs with VC++6.0 when trying to create an MDI application.
  - Improved keycode detection under X11. Keycodes should now work for any X11-based system.
  - Support for FreeBSD added (thanks to Thierry Thomas).
  - Corrected bug in matrix multiplication.
  - Corrected bugs in CImg<T>::erode() and CImg<T>::dilate() functions (name inversion).
  - Corrected bug in 'CImg<T>::load_convert()' and 'CImg<T>::save_convert()' when trying to load/save images with pathnames containing spaces.
  - Recoded 'inrcast.cpp', and suppressed 'inrcrop.cpp' in the 'examples/' directory (functionnalities of 'inrcrop' are now included in 'inrcast').
  - And some corrections of minor bugs to improve library stability...
  - Improved error messages to ease program debug.
  - Documentation of the API is much more complete and detailled (still in progress...)
 *------------------------------
 *------------------------------
 * Changes from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6 :
 *------------------------------

  - Removed 'get_rotate90,180,270'. Optimization is now a part of the 'get_rotate' function.
  - Compilation supported by gcc.3.4.1 (released july 2004).
