Datatype: WarpJPEG 45.8
Under the title link Oliver Roberts has published an update of his WarpJPEG datatypes for AmigaOS 3.x, WarpUp, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS which are available as Shareware.
Changes:
- Updated with IJG jpeglib v8c, which features a SmartScale capable
decoder which can read images encoded using non-baseline DCT block
sizes
- Added workaround for a bug in OS4 which can cause a crash when a
requester is opened (bug fixed in intuition.library 53.32)
- Fixed (VBCC fix) potential system lockup when calling the GM_RENDER
method in the WarpOS version (e.g. when using Multiview with the
AfA OS picture.datatype)
- Added AmiUpdate support
- Updated Spanish installer strings

MorphOS: Graphic program Gribouillis 2.7-r233 (beta)
Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez' graphic program Gribouillis2 (screenshots: 1, 2) supports layers, has an unlimited
undo/redo and some simple picture editing functions.
Changes in this latest beta version:
- New features and major improvements:
- Brush: Split radius/opacity parameters to have range of value depending on pressure: min for low pressure, max for high pressure.
This permit to obtain a better 'real' rendering
- Layer compositor: Added possibility to move layers independently from each other. => activate the drawing surface, press any SHIFT keys and drag using the middle button.
- Layers position saved by the OpenRaster format (.ora).
- Palette: More and smaller palette buttons (256)
- Palette: Load&save buttons (using a very simple textual file format ;-))
- Optimierungen und beseitigte Fehler:
- Brush: Optimized the dab drawing loops, plus fixed the dab center on the pixel center (was on it's edge before). That fix also the rendering at low radius (internally limited to .5)
- Brush: Fixed bounding box computation with a low limit to 3x3 pixels
- Brush: Fixed some memory eats
- Brush: Many other minors fixes
- Layer compositor: Twice speed to render the model than before using better cairo compositing
- Layer compositor: FAST and BILINEAR filter used to render tiles depending on the zoom level used
- Layer compositor: Fixed blit memory trash under some conditions
- View: Bigger draw area at startup, relative to the screen size
- Fixed default file pattern for load/save image requesters
- Fixed PNG saving, plus added support of per layer position
Gribouillis2 is available as "standalone" version (13MB) or as "simple" version which is much smaller. But this simple version requires some
additional libraries and interpreters (Python, PyMUI, PyCairo etc.). Both versions the program has to be installed to harddrive.
The author does not recommend starting the program from the RAM-Disk. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Datatype: WarpPNG 45.14
Olver Roberts' WarpPNG-Datatype is available for AmigaOS 3/4, WarpOS and MorphOS. New in version 45.14:
- When ALPHA_MODE is set to KEEP:
- Expand palette-mapped images with more than one transparent colour to RGBA with full alpha
- Take note of any transparent entries set for RGB and greyscale images, and expand them to a full alpha channel
- Convert greyscale images with alpha channel to RGBA
- Ignore any background colour specified in the file, no longer compositing transparent images with it, preserving the alpha channel
- Fixed incorrect background colour when combining an alpha channel with images that use 16 bits per pixel
- No longer uses any floating point math, reducing overhead for all versions and speeding up gamma correction on all 68k versions
- Added workaround for a bug in OS4 which can cause a crash when a requester is opened (bug fixed in intuition.library 53.32)
- Integrated libpng 1.5.1
- Updated with zlib 1.2.5
