I'm pleased to announce that Argyll Version 0.60 has now been released.
Apart from numerous bug fixes and many minor feature additions and improvements, the main changes to this version compared to the previous one are:
* Support for the USB based X-Rite DTP94 (AKA Optix), which is currently available, and is a relatively economical and accurate display colorimeter that works on CRT and LCD displays. * Comprehensive display control adjustment and calibration support, including an "update" mode to keep a display in calibration, and "report" and "verify" functions to measure a displays current behaviour. * Full multi-monitor support for display adjustment, calibration and profiling on all supported operating systems (MSWindows, OS X and Linux/X11). * The "dispwin" utility can now act as a video LUT calibration loader on all operating systems, including multi-monitor systems. Perceptual and Saturation intent gamut mapping has been greatly refined, with much better black point and neutral axis handling, smoother mappings with better saturation.
Note that there are some changes to how intents in icclink and profile are specified, as well as viewing conditions in the utilities that use them. Numerical identifiers for intents and viewing conditions have been replaced by alphabetic mnemonics, so that the identifiers no longer change every time a new release adds more options, or they are re-ordered or deleted. You may have to change any existing scripts to accommodate the new usage. See the html documentation for each utility for the details of current usage.
As usual, a more detailed description of all changes is in the log.txt file that accompanies the source code.
