   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: Heiko.NitzscheDESPAM@DESPAMgmx.de   
      
   I'm pleased to announce the availability of several updated GBM modules.     
      
       
      
   The main improvements are:     
      
   - Enhanced TGA codec (details see readme)     
      
   - ZLIB updated to version 1.2.6     
      
   - PNG codec: Update to Libpng 1.5.9 (with APNG extension patch)     
      
   - JPEG codec: Update to IJG 8d     
      
   - JPEG2000 codec: Update to OpenJPEG 1.5     
      
   - RAW codec: Update to libraw 0.14.5 (based on dcraw 9.12)     
      
       
      
   GBM.DLL 1.75 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_175_bin.zip or the WarpIN   
   installation package (see below).     
      
       
      
   Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.59     
      
   --------------------------------     
      
   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   
   gbmos2pm159_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see   
   below).     
      
       
      
   GBM plugin 1.46 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_lu142_moz146_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see   
   below). There is also a Mozilla XPI installer package available separately   
   (also included in WarpIN package) which also allows automatic updating of the   
   plugin.     
      
       
      
   Notes for eComStation 1.x/2.x users     
      
   -----------------------------------     
      
   Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.x/2.x ships with an old   
   GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.75). Please follow   
   the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as for eCS   
   WPS features like bitmap previews.
