v1.0.1

[1.0.1] - 2022-05-04

Changed

• Fixed error in release workflow

v1.0.0

[1.0.0] - 2022-05-04

Added

• A homebrew tap is now available
• Cargo publishing is now done in the release workflow
• The release workflow now updates the homebrew tap
• Shell completion files and the man page are now contained in the compressed released files
• A new README sections explains how to install the completion files
• The new --outline flag will only produce an only of the image
• When using the --hysteresis flag along the --outline flag the ascii art will be even more outlined, with less imperfections
• Added more test cases and examples to the README to cover the newly added functionality
• Major refactoring of the code
• Artem is now a library, which is used by the command-line interface
• Due to a refactoring of the code, the output ascii image now resembles the input image more closely

Changed

• Overhauled the installation section in the README, it now contains much more detailed installations instructions
• Switched from f64 to f32, since the additional precision has literally no impact (it gets rounded/cut away), but yields worse performance
• Refactored average_color to be iterator based, according to some microbenchmarks, this makes it a few nanoseconds faster
• Refactored the convert, blur, apply_sober and edge_tracking functions to use iterators instead of for loops. This removes a lot of nasty and hart to deal with bug, especially together with multi-threading
• Removed multithreading, it was a constant source of bugs, since pixels can't be split for threads/output characters. It also rarely brought noticeable performance improvements
• The new iterator-based implementation opens the possibility to use rayon in the future
• Fixed a crash which could occur when piping to a file using the maximum terminal size
• Fixed a bug, where the --height argument would not actually use the correct height and being a bit too high

• MacOS binaries for (x86 and arm) have been added to the CD process

v.0.6.0

[0.6.0] - 2022-03-24

v0.5.0

[0.5.0] - 2022-03-14

Added

• Release builds are now available for more targets (linux x64 and arm) and windows (using gnu-target)

Added

• Fixed error with tar command in cd
• README now contains an installation section
• Use the --background flag to let the ascii chars have a background color. Might be useful for images with dark backgrounds.
• Use the --invert flag to change the brightness of the used characters. Can be useful for images with a dark background
• README now lists some example formats that can be used
• Tab completions now works in other shells as well (fish and zsh in deb package)
• Removed linting problems found by clippy
• CI tests now against the stable, beta and nightly rust version
• CI now checks for clippy warnings
• Changelog file to document changes to the project
