• can now decode JPEG (using libjpeg.so)
• many bugs fixed (especially in file formats)
• operators: log* added; tanh renamed to tanh*
• @two,@three,@four are no longer specific to the jMax side
• format grid: option headerless for reading any kind of file
• format grid: option headerful (revert to actual .grid format mode)
• fixed problems with GNU C++ version 3
• format ppm: accelerated writing
• format modifier gzfile: gzip support also works with [@out]
• format x11: the "here" specifier is now optional
• added @checkers
• [@scale_by {y x}] for different y,x scale factors
• [@in blah blah] means "open blah blah" -> [@in] (and same with @out)
• added @downscale_by with or without smoothing
• format targa: can now decode 32 bit RGBA
• @layer: combines RGBA foreground with RGB background, yielding RGB.
• format grid options: endian big, endian little, endian same
• formats ppm,grid: use 'option rewind' to overwrite same file (by default, rewind is no longer done after each frame) ('option rewind' also rewinds on reading)

(the previous version was released on 2002.12.06)
