OpenGTL 0.9.3 and 0.9.4 released
This release comes in two version, 0.9.3 for use with llvm-2.2 and 0.9.4 for use with llvm-2.3. Both version have the same features set.

This is the first release to include an early alpha of OpenShiva, this release brings also a lot of bug fixes (all thoses fixes get automatic testing) to OpenCTL which can now consider to be in beta state, and also most of the standard library of OpenCTL has been implemented now.

The G of GTL means either Graphics or Generics, the T means Transformation and the L means Libraries or Languages.

The goal is to provide the tools, languages and libraries to create generic transformation for graphics. Those transformations could then be used by different programs (Krita, The Gimp, CinePaint, gegl…).

ArgyllCMS Version 1.0.0 released.
I’m pleased to announce the release of V1.0.0 of ArgyllCMS.

Apart from numerous bug fixes and many minor feature additions and improvements, the main changes
to this version compared to the V0.70 Beta 8 are:

• Speedup in profile and device link generation (inversion code), and better memory usage.
• Support for embedded profiles in TIFF files.
• Support for installing and uninstalling and loading of display profiles for all
  operating systems, and a micro CMM system for X11/Linux
• Improved display calibration and profiling, including ambient light adjustment.
• X11 XRandR 1.2 support added.
• Raster test charts now supported, as well as PS and EPS.
• Guidance for installing on a wider range of systems.
• Fixed luminance and ambient calibration issues with various instruments.
• Renamed “profile” to “colprof”, and “icclink” to “collink” to avoid clashes that
  have arisen with other executable names.
• Streamlined source code build system, for much easier building.
• Installation archives now include a top directory, and gzip/tar format for OS X and Linux.
• Added B2A table to input device LUT profiles by default.

Compare to the V0.60 release, additional changes are:

• Added quick display ICC profile creation as part of calibration.
• Added support for the Huey, Spyder 2, DTP20, Eye-One Pro, DTP22/Digital Swatchbook,
  Eye-One Display 1 and 2 instruments.
• Changed to GPL Version 3 license.
• Countless other bug fixes and feature enhancements.

As usual, a more detailed description of all changes is in the log.txt file that accompanies the source code.
