Release notes for MECCA 2000 version 5.06.  Mar/17/2010


Fixed:

1. Certain TIFF files use the optional "Thresholding" tag as equivalent
   for the "Samples/pixel" and "Bits/sample" tags, causing image property
   inquiry to fail (tiff_info, tiff_dims).

2. Group- or Ugroup- All did not pick up all qualified splines (m2kbin).

3. The unimap utility had incorrect hash entries when deleting some other
   entries (unimap).

4. When a merged file (as used in "MFORM dwgfil=" command) is found in the
   current work directory, rather than where the marked-up path, it is
   saved withe the modified path, but subsequent FLASH lookup still used the
   original, marked-up path, causing "not found" condition (galeyc).

5. Enforce reset conditions when a PS form starts, which ensures drawing
   properties will be explicitly set in the form (typdrv).


New/Changed:

1. Changed old, hard image size limit in some raster image processing
   programs, to be based on available/system-allowed memory usage on the
   running system (imgrote, imgrotea, imgchres, imggrow, imgtrim).

2. Added "Group Color" option in the Window dialog: it is now possible to
   choose from 10% to 100% white as group color, or "None" so that grouped
   items display as though they are not grouped -- but behave as a whole,
   like a combined association (window.tcl, m2kbin).

   A related change is the removal of Raster Intensity Scalebar: it is now
   replaced by a text box, into which users can simply type desired percentage.
