Wespal 0.5.3

Note: This release was tagged immediately after v0.5.2 in order to quickly address a very visible bug. Because v0.5.2 was never properly announced to the target audience, I'm including its changelog as part of the changelog for this release as well.

Changes specific to v0.5.3

Bug fixes

• Fixed an existing bug with dark mode or dark system color schemes on all platforms causing scrollbars to be forcibly rendered in a light color whenever a non-default preview background color is set.

Existing changes in v0.5.2

New features

• Added automatic reloading of files that have been changed on disk, as well as a File menu option controlling this behavior (enabled by default).
• Dark mode UI is now supported on Windows.

Bug fixes

• Prevent using the Save action when in color range mode with no color ranges checked.

Other changes

• Color square icons in lists now use a more suitable border color depending on the UI color scheme.

Wespal 0.5.1

Changes in this release

New features

• Reworked the functionality to deselect all color ranges so instead it deselects all items other than the active color range, as well as ensures the active color range is selected if it isn't already.
• Dark mode UI is now supported on macOS.

Bug fixes

• The image view no longer scrolls back to the center of the image when zooming in/out, selecting a different color range/palette/transform type, or closing Preferences (#14).
• Fixed QuaZip-related build errors with Qt 6.7.2 and later when using ENABLE_BUILTIN_IMAGE_PLUGINS.

Other changes

• Windows and macOS versions built against Qt 6.9.3.

Wespal 0.5.0

Changes in this release

New features

• Out-of-the-box support for Krita (.kra), OpenRaster (.ora), and Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files on Windows and macOS via KImageFormats from KDE Frameworks 6.1.
• Redesigned main window:
  • Added buttons to quickly select or deselect all color ranges.
  • Added a button to generate image path functions for the open image.
  • Added an Edit menu and keyboard shortcuts for easy clipboard access.
  • Added alternative view modes to the original Split mode: Swipe, Onion Skin.
  • Added middle-mouse panning.
  • Added 1600% zoom factor.
• New settings dialog:
  • Added a General settings tab with display-related options.
  • Added option to disable saving the Wespal version number to created PNG files.
  • Merged Color Range and Palette editors into this dialog as separate tab pages.
  • Added an option to the Palette Editor to generate palette colors from the currently open image.
  • Color ranges now take a high-contrast fourth parameter, used in Wespal for displaying color range icons and in Wesnoth for unit/village markers on the minimap (#12).
  • Added options to the Color Range and Palette editors to create new items using Wesnoth built-ins as starting templates. This should allow for easier experimentation without having to manually copy the WML color lists into the From List dialog.
  • Added GIMP Palette (.gpl) export option to the Palette Editor.
• Added Wesnoth color blend (~BLEND) and color shift (~CS) functionality.
• Added Generate Base64 option to the Tools menu.

Bug fixes

• Opening and closing a file persists the file's parent dir as the starting point of a new file Open operation (same session only).
• Saving recolored images persists the chosen dir as the starting point of a new file Save operation (same session only).
• Fixed Palette Editor not displaying any color range icons in the Recolor dropdown on macOS.
• Fixed saved PNGs not including a tEXt chunk with the Wespal version used to generate them as intended.
• Fixed Wespal application icon not being used even after installing on Wayland platforms.
• Added a workaround for increased issues with the KDE Plasma 6 Breeze style when dragging windows from any empty areas is enabled, by disabling dragging from "all" (actually most) areas of the main window instead. A proper fix will come eventually.
• Avoid a potential crash related to drop operations on Wayland.

Other changes

• Windows and macOS versions built against Qt 6.7.0.
• Changed keys for the main window size and preview background settings. Note that this will cause these settings from version 0.4.0 and earlier to be forgotten.
• Made the code/WML snippet dialog a bit less cramped.
• Added CMake ENABLE_BUILTIN_IMAGE_PLUGINS option to enable building the built-in KImageFormats plugins and their QuaZip dependency. Users of platforms where KDE Frameworks 6 is readily available/already installed are discouraged from using this, so it's off by default.
• Fixed CMake SANITIZE option causing link-time errors (meaning yes, I actually tested and used it this time around).
• Implemented unit tests for backend functionality to ensure the recoloring algorithm never breaks silently before a release.
