   2/28/2012 -PMView Pro v3.65     
      
   The following features are new in PMView v3.65:     
      
    Saving, TGA: Previous versions of PMView always stored a full 256-entry color   
   map when saving TGA files that are 256 or fewer colors, thus producing up to   
   768 bytes of unnecessary data in the TGA file. This has been changed and   
   PMView will now only write as many color map entries as needed. In addition to   
   this, when saving a grayscale image, PMView will now use TGA type 3 to avoid   
   the need for a color map. For compatibility with legacy applications, a new   
   TGA save option "Store full color map" has been added.     
      
   The following bugs and problems are fixed in PMView v3.65:     
      
    Saving, TIFF: Saving a TIFF using CCITT FAX3 or FAX4 compression and setting   
   the Strip size to "Single strip" incorrectly produces a file with two strips.   
    Saving, TGA: When using the TGA RLE option, PMView encoded run-length packets   
   across scan lines as is allowed by the TGA file format specification in   
   Appendix C of the Truevision Technical Guide. However, the more recent TGA   
   v2.0 specification states that this should never be done. This version of   
   PMView has been changed to comply with the TGA v2.0 specification and the RLE   
   implementation has been improved overall.   
    Saving, IFF: Saving a blank image (an image with just one color) causes   
   PMView to hang.   
    Saving, IFF: PMView fails to add a padding byte to the BODY chunk when the   
   size is not divisible by two. As a result, PMView will give a premature   
   end-of-file error when reading back the file.   
    Saving: The Packbits encoder used in the IFF, MAC, PIC, and TIFF formats has   
   been improved.
