• describe how to build libgif etc on OS X in such a way as to be compatible with a fat binary perl (such as the system perl), in README. RT #73371

• update the change notes for 0.77_01 to indicate that libungif support was removed.

• add some other imaging modules to SEE ALSO RT #73906

• note that the generator of the apparently non-DFSG-free postscript in MMOne.pfb is a Debian package.

• setsamples() is now a true complement to getsamples() - it can write 8-bit or floating point samples from a scalar or array reference. This adds i_psamp() and i_psampf() to the C level API.

• the XS interfaces to i_gsamp(), i_gsampf() and i_gsamp_bits() have changed to make better use of the typemap, but these aren't part of the perl level API anyway. There were no changes to the C level interfaces to these functions.

• getpixel() and setpixel() now accept a mix of scalar and array references for the x and y parameters, and unequal array lengths is no longer an error. RT #73697

Bug fixes:

• correctly calculate the size of a rotated image RT #69261

• fix incorrect rounding of color values for matrix_transform() and rotate(). RT #69261

• Win32 text output is now done in normal combine mode, the alpha component of the color is now significant. RT #70014

• remove long unused gif case from read() RT #69244 (partial)

• the getsamples() target parameter was being treated as a hashref when it's meant to be an array reference. RT #74882

• getpixel() and setpixel() now returns an empty list when invalid parameters are supplied. Invalid values for type now result in an error for getpixel(). RT #73697
