Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: GBM.DLL 1.32 and new GBM file dialog released

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Heiko Nitzsche, Posted on comp.os.os2.announce

A new release of the often used GBM library is available on Hobbes in 
both, binaries and source.

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/gbmos2pm121_gbm132_bin.zip
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/gbmos2pm121_gbm132_src.zip

It will later move to:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/graphics/gbmos2pm121_gbm132_bin.zip
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/graphics/gbmos2pm121_gbm132_src.zip


Changes compared to release 1.31:
---------------------------------
GBMDLG (GBM File Dialog)
* Redesign to match standard file dialog (eComStation)
* Add bitmap preview

GBM.DLL 1.32
* TIF support:
    - Update to Libtiff 3.7.4
    - Fix decoding of separated RGB tiffs
    - Fix decoding of non-separated CMYK tiffs (8/16 bits per channel)

GBM command line tools
* gbmver.exe added
    It shows the detected gbm.dll (including its path)
    and the lib revision. I hope this simplifies solving
    DLL version issues.

You can replace GBM.DLL and GBMDLG.DLL used by the usual apps (Mesa, 
GBMV2, ...). The libs are fully backward compatible. Be careful with 
the gbm.dll part of the Lotus Smartsuite directory tree. This must NOT 
be replaced with this lib!

As the new bitmap preview feature in the GBM file dialog requires 
quite a bit of processing power, users with less good equipped 
hardware should stick with the previous dialog.

Have fun
