Bump every package version to 1.0.0-alpha.4 (PyPI 1.0.0a4) and promote the
CHANGELOG [Unreleased] section to 1.0.0-alpha.4. Refresh the tracked lockfile.
App download links are intentionally left at 1.0.0-alpha.3 (desktop app
release lands separately).
- version 1.0.0-alpha.3 across the workspace, Python, and Node packages
(and the vtracer dep pins, install snippets, and docs.rs link)
- CHANGELOG: date the section; note the new vtracer-bench crate and the
watershed blurred-crack filament fix
(Supersampling was explored after alpha.2 and reverted -- it did not
improve output enough to keep.)
The `vtracer` package never declared a `readme`, so its PyPI page rendered
an empty description. Point `[project].readme` at the crate's README, and
mirror it in Cargo.toml alongside the core crate's convention.
Pin the documented install to 1.0.0a2 while the 1.0 line is pre-release:
`--pre` would resolve it, but a bare `pip install vtracer` still lands on
0.6.15, whose cp314 wheels segfault on any keyword argument (pyo3 0.19
predates CPython 3.14 moving `PyTupleObject::ob_item`, #124).
- version 1.0.0-alpha.2 across the workspace, Python, and Node packages
- CHANGELOG: date the unreleased section
- README: bump install snippets and docs.rs link
Workspace, vtracer-py, and the nodejs wasm crate move from edition 2021
to 2024 (no code changes needed — clean build and test run on 1.95).
Module directories switch from foo/mod.rs to the modern foo.rs layout;
single-file modules (svg, optimize, compose, fitter) collapse from
directories into plain files. Pure git renames, history preserved.
vtracer only decodes input, but image's default features pulled a full AV1
encoder (ravif/rav1e) and OpenEXR into the CLI binary and the Python wheel.
Restrict to decode-only input formats (png, jpeg, gif, bmp, webp, tiff, ico,
pnm, tga, qoi). The release binary drops from ~3.23 MB to ~2.46 MB and builds
faster; supported inputs are unchanged in practice (avif decode was never in
image's defaults anyway).
New crates/vtracer-py (pyo3 + maturin, abi3) wrapping the vtracer framework.
Rather than a thin CLI-style wrapper, it exposes a mutable `Config` class with
named properties and `bw`/`poster`/`photo` preset constructors, plus three
input paths — `convert_file`, `convert_bytes` (encoded image, optional format),
and `convert_pixels` (raw RGBA8) — available as `Config` methods and
module-level functions. Palette is a list of `#rrggbb` strings; bad inputs
raise ValueError.
The core crate stays pure: image decoding lives here. The crate is excluded
from the cargo workspace (pyo3 extension-module cdylibs don't link libpython,
which breaks `cargo test` at the root) and is built with maturin. Ships a
vtracer.pyi type stub. README updated.
