Change summary:
* Re-worked gamut mapping to improve perceptual intent saturation levels,
as well as
improve highlight and shadow contrast. Added fine tuning to improve both
smoothness
and the precision with which the source is mapped to the destination.
* Added illumread, which allows measuring an illuminant and estimating its
UV content,
for better accuracy with FWA compensation.
* Use a modified/forked version of libusb V1.0, that supports Win2K
(libusb0.sys) back
end by default. Supports 64 but MSWin using a combination of WinUSB.sys
and
ptlibusb0.sys.
[The HCFR does not work on Win 64 bit though, due to its buggy USB
implementation.]
NOTE that the included version of Libusb V1 has been carefully tested
with all
supported instruments on all supported platforms, and includes many bug
fixes
needed for correct functioning. While bug fixes have been fed upstream,
not all
have been adopted. In particular there is a nasty race condition that
has not, and may never be fixed upstream, as well as missing critical
functionality
(clearep()).
* Modified colprof -p to allow different abstract profiles to be applied
for each
intent.
* Added -I option (imitation) to printcal, so that an existing devices
response can
be set as a target.
* Increase target/ofps.c vertex intersection retries from 10 to 40 to give
it a
better chance of working with difficult profiles.
* Fixed bug in plot that shows up on XP+, where the window isn't dismissed
by
the first keystroke, but only after it has been moved or resized.
* Changed CMYK black point to be natural, rather than the darkest point in
the
same direction and K only. This may wreck K only to black point matching,
but
it will stop printers with funny colored K ink from messing up the black
point.
* Make Lacie Blue Eye colorimeter appear as an i1display.
* Improved i1pro matching to Original Manufacturers Driver (see
doc/i1proDriver.html).
* Improved i1pro/ColorMunki patch recognition for better uniformity.
* Fixed bug in ColorMunki driver scan mode calibration when instrument is
more sensitive than usual.
* Added EV calculation to spotread -a
