1.86.0 Not released
* Modify pixFindBaselines() to avoid joining textboxes and to
ignore bogus textboxes when listing baseline end points.
* Modify convertToPSEmbed() to efficiently encode webp input images.
* Modify compressFilesToPdf() to allow upscale interpolation for
low resolution pdfs.
* Fix innocuous indexing error in pixFillMapHoles().
* Source files changed: adaptmap.c, baseline.c, pageseg.c,
pdfapp.c, psio1.c
* Prog files changed: baseline_reg.c, binarizefiles.c,

1.85.0 Oct 16, 2024
* Use wrapper callSystemDebug() instead of system() in programs.
* Fixed Issue #730: artifacts and bad compression with pixWriteJp2k.
Results are now identical with ImageMagick convert (to jp2).
* With PR732, Anton Tykhyy made pix(Read,Write)MemJp2k work with
direct memory access using openjpeg opj_stream functions. This
removes need for temp file on Windows when writing to/from memory.

in progs. Ditto for lept_free, lept_calloc, lept_fopen(), etc.

packed member.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/leptonlib
* CVE-2018-7442: potential injection attack because '/' is allowed
in gplot rootdir.
Functions using this command have been disabled by default in the
distribution, starting with 1.76.0. As for the specific issue, it
is impossible to specify a general path without using the standard
directory subdivider '/'.
* CVE-2018-7186: number of characters not limited in fscanf or sscanf,
allowing possible attack with buffer overflow.
This has been fixed in 1.75.3.
* CVE-2018-3836: command injection vulnerability in gplotMakeOutput().
This has been fixed in 1.75.3, using stringCheckForChars() to block
rootnames containing any of: ;&|>"?*$()/<
* CVE-2017-18196: duplicated path components.
This was fixed in 1.75.3.
* CVE-2018-7441: hardcoded /tmp pathnames.
These are all wrapped in special debug functions that are not
enabled by default in the distribution, starting with 1.76.0.
* CVE-2018-7247: input 'rootname' can overflow a buffer.
This was fixed in 1.76.0, using snprintf().
* CVE-2018-7440: command injection in gplotMakeOutput using $(command).
Fixed in 1.75.3, which blocks '$' as well as 11 other characters.

Final mods for compatibility with tesseract 4.00.
1.73 25 Jan 16
All lept_* functions have been rewritten to avoid path rewrites for
output to temp files, which were introduced in 1.72.
Now, (1) files are written to the directory specified and (2) we
are careful to write to subdirectories of /tmp/lept/ for all test
programs, starting with the reg tests and prog/dewarp* and
prog/recog*. This also required re-writing stringcode.c and
stringtemplate1.txt to write temp files to subdirectories.
Goal is to write to the specified path while not spamming the
/tmp and /tmp/lept directories. This is particularly important
on windows because files in the <TEMP> directory are not cleared
on reboot.
Naming changes (to avoid collisions):
#defines MALLOC --> LEPT_MALLOC, CALLOC --> LEPT_CALLOC, etc.
ByteBuffer --> L_ByteBuffer
Added grayscale histogram functions that can be used to compare images.
Added functions to determine if an image region has horizontal
text lines.
Added functions to compare photo regions of images to determine
if they're essentially the same.
Added red-black tree utility functions to implement maps and sets.
The keys for maps and sets can be 64-bit entities (signed and
unsigned integers and doubles).
Implemented hashsets and hashmaps, using 64 bit keys.
Replaced the numaHash by l_dnaHash; removed numa2d
Improved security of tiff and gif reading, to prevent memory corruption
when reading bad data.
Removed src files: bootnumgen.c
Added src files: rbtree.c, rbtree.h, map.c, bootnumgen1.c, bootnumgen2.c
Added prog files: rbtreetest.c, maptest.c, settest.c, hashtest.c,
recog_bootnum.c, percolatetest.c
Added files for building using cmake (Egor Pugin)
1.72 5 Apr 15
Better handling of 1 bpp colormap read/write with png so that
they are losseless. The colormap is always removed on read and
the conversion is to the simplest non-cmapped pix that can fully
represent the input -- both with and without alpha.
Fixed overflow bug in pixCorrelationBinary().
Fixed orientation flags and handling of 16 bit RGB in tiff.
Also new wrappers to TIFFClientOpen(), so we no longer go through
the file descriptor for memory operations.
Improvements in the dewarp functions.
New box sequence smoothings.
New antialiased painting through mask; previously it was only
implemented for connected components in a mask.
Better error handling and debug output with jpeg2000 read/write.
Implemented base64 encoding. This allows binary data to be represented
as a C string that can be compiled. Used this in bmf utility.
Implemented automatic code generation for deserialization from
compiled strings (stringcode.*)
Regression tests write to leptonica subdir of <Temp> in windows; in
unix it is optional. This avoids spamming the <Temp> directory.
Added new colorspace conversions (XYZ, LAB).
New source files: encoding.c, bmfdata.h, stringcode.c, stringcode.h,
bootnumgen.c.
Removed source files: convolvelow.c, graymorphlow.c
New programs: genfonts_reg, colorize_reg, texturefill_reg,
autogentest1, autogentest2.
alltests_reg now has 66 tests.
1.71 18 Jun 14
This version supports tesseract 3.04. In particular, 3.04
has automatic conversion of a set of scanned images, either in a
directory or coming directly from a scanner, into pdf with injected
text. This is something we've wanted to do for several years!
Improved jp2k header reading, including resolution.
Removed src files: rotateorthlow.c, pdfio.c, pdfiostub.c
Renamed jp2kio.c, jp2kiostub.c ==> jp2kheader.c, jp2kheaderstub.c.
These header reading functions parse the jp2k files, and
don't require a jpeg2000 library.
New jp2kio.c, jp2kiostub.c, that uses openjpeg-2.X to read
and write jp2k. We now support I/O from these formats:
png, tiff, jpeg, bmp, pnm, webp, gif and jp2k
as well as writing to PostScript and pdf.
New pdfio1.c, pdfio1stub.c, pdfio2.c pdfio2stub.c, where we've
split functions into high and low level.
Fixed memory bug in bilateral.c
Improved reading/write of binary data from file. For example,
l_binaryReadStream() can now be used to capture data piped
in via stdin.
Font directory now arg passed in everywhere (not hardcoded)
Don't write temporary files to /tmp; only to a small number of
subdirectories, to avoid spamming the /tmp directory. E.g.,
for regression tests, the current output is now to /tmp/regout/.
For jpeg reading modify pixReadJpeg() to take as a hint
a bit flag that allows extraction of only the luminance channel.
Allow wrapping of pdf objects from png images without transcoding
(thanks to Jeff Breidenbach)

1 bpp with colormap, alpha (supported in png with transparency array)

size overflow errors.
New text labelling operations; depth conversion of a set of images
New license (essentially BSD 2-clause), to specify conditions
for both source and binary distribution.
Improved auto make: make all progs, install just 11, test 61.
New src files: bilateral.{c,h}, dewarp1.c, dewarp2.c,
dewarp3.c, dewarp4.c, jp2kio.c, jp2kiostub.c,

double array (dnabasic.c). Added several new modes for pdf
generation from sets of images.
Dewarp based on image content now aligns to left and right margins;
works at book level; is more robust to bad disparity models;
version 2 serialization.
Fixed regutils to return the actual number of errors.
Improved sorting efficiency of numas in cases where binning,
which is order N, makes sense.
Fixed fpix serialization (now version 2).

Expanded composite Dwa implementation as a sequence of operations,
so that it now works beyond a size of 63. It's typically about 2x
faster than the composite rasterop implementation (with help
from Ankur Jain). Also use data transfer instead of data copy
whenever possible. Thorough tests with binmorph4_reg and binmorph5_reg.
New functions in colorseg.c for masking and histogramming in HSV
color space.
Treat string constants rigorously as const char*, initializing
to char[] if to be used as non-const, or in some cases casting
to char*. This avoids compiler warnings.
Improved color quantization using existing colormap for octcubes
and a new version for grayscale. This will rigorously map most
black and most white octcubes (rsp) to black and white
if they exist in the colormap.
Fast quantization to an existing colormap for color and grayscale.
Fixed some bugs; e.g., in pixAffineSampled() for 1 bpp with
L_BRING_IN_BLACK; reading and writing pnm for 2 and 4 bpp.

Redo shear implementation to handle arbitrary angles, to handle
colormapped images, and to avoid the singularity at pi/2.
Removed both static vars from pixSaveTiled().
Generalized pixRotate() to handle colormapped images, and to use
pixRotateBySampling() in place of the removed pixRotateEuclidean().

For skew detection, now allow shear about image center as well as
about the UL corner.
