From: Heiko.NitzscheDESPAM@DESPAMgmx.de

I have finished a new release of most GBM modules with several enhancements.
The main improvements are:  

 

- Multithreading and SSE support for the resampling scaler which makes full use
of current Multicore CPUs  

- Improved quality of the resampling scaler  

- RAW Camera read support for all GBM modules and plugins  

- GBM Mozilla plugin can now be installed as XPI package  

- GBM Mozilla plugin keyboard handling improvements  

- Several bugfixes and optimizations, libpng update  

- A Windows version of the GBM Mozilla plugin is now available  

 

Please note that the installation steps for the GBM Mozilla plugin have changed
(see included documentation).  

 

GBM plugin 1.41 for Lucide 1.20 and higher  

------------------------------------------  

This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation that
extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by
GBM.DLL.  

 

Get the package gbmos2plugins_lu141_moz141_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation
package (see below).  

 

GBM plugin 1.41 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey  

------------------------------------------------------  

This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and SeaMonkey
available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for the support of reading
all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL.  

 

Get the package gbmos2plugins_lu141_moz141_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation
package (see below). There is also a Mozilla XPI installer package available
separately (included in WarpIN package).  

 

GBM.DLL 1.70 and GBM command line tools  

---------------------------------------  

The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and saving
bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file formats.
Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to access a variety
of file formats without actually knowing what format the pictures are in, or
any details about file format itself. It comes with a useful set of command
line bitmap manipulation tools.  

 

Get package gbmos2_170_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below). 


 

Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.56  

--------------------------------  

GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS
Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer.  

 

Get package gbmos2pm156_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below).
 

 

GBM.DLL REXX adapter library (GBMRX 1.14)  

-----------------------------------------  

GBMRX.DLL is a REXX adapter DLL for OS/2 and eComStation which REXX programs
may use to load or save all bitmap file formats supported by the GBM.DLL
(to/from a file). Almost full feature set of GBM.DLL is provided by the REXX
API. I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions. Some image
manipulations can be done like scale, reflect, rotate.  

 

Get package gbmos2rx114_bin.zip. It is also included in the WarpIN installation
package (see below).   

 

Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users:  

-------------------------------------  

Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old
GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.70). Please follow
the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs  

as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.
