Changes to Classes

◼Moved: FillWithShape() is now a method of TIEBitmap, rather than a helper
◼Moved: TIEBitmapHelper.Cartoonify() moved to TImageEnProc.Cartoonify()
◼Exposed: LayerEditingMode
◼Added: TextSize

Changes to Method Parameters

◼Added: SizeToText includes a LengthenOnly parameter

Demo Changes

◼Added: PDF Annotations demo supports mouse editing (Demos\PDF\PDFAnnotations\PDFAnnotations.dpr)
◼Added: New methods added to Every Method demo (Demos\ImageEditing\EveryMethod\EveryMethod.dpr)
◼Added: Methods are categorized in Every Method demo (Demos\ImageEditing\EveryMethod\EveryMethod.dpr)
◼Added: Transform demo supports replication filling, as well as custom colors (Demos\IEVision\TPSShapeTransform\TPSShapeTransform.dpr)
◼Added: Advanced styling settings in Text Layers demo (Demos\LayerEditing\Layers_Text\TextLayers.dpr)

Compatibility Issues

◼Changed: BMP_HandleTransparency now only affects Bitmap saving (loading will always handle the alpha channel)
◼Removed: Instead of TImageEnMView.AppendImage2, use AppendImage
◼Changed: Instead of ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer.ResampleFilter := rfLanczos3; use TIEImageLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ).ResampleFilter := rfLanczos3;
◼Changed: Instead of ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer.UseResampleFilter := True; use TIEImageLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ).UseResampleFilter := True;
◼Changed: Instead of TImageEnIO.ParamsFromFileFormat, use TImageEnIO.ParamsFromFile
◼Changed: Instead of TImageEnIO.ParamsFromStreamFormat, use TImageEnIO.ParamsFromStream
◼Renamed: Instead of TImageEnView.LayersMove, use LayersArrange
◼Removed: Instead of IEGDIPEnabled() use: UseGDIPlus
◼Removed: IEGDIPAvailable() is no longer needed and has been removed. GDI+ is always available on supported Windows versions
◼Moved: TIEBitmapHelper.Cartoonify() moved to TImageEnProc.Cartoonify()
◼Changed: TransformTool defaults to replicating content when filling new areas rather than filling with black
◼Renamed: IELangAvailable is now named IELang_IsAvailable. Check parameters if you use this method
