VideoUltimate v3.8.0

Version 3.8.0 - April 2, 2023

• Added: Implemented GleamTech.Drawing namespace to replace System.Drawing.
  Starting with .NET 6, System.Drawing.Common is not supported on non-Windows platforms,
  so dropped dependency to System.Drawing.Common package
  for GleamTech.VideoUltimate and GleamTech.Common:

  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Image class which
    • Can load and save file formats Jpg, Png, Gif, WebP, Bmp, Tga, Pbm, Tiff
    • Can handle multi-frame Tiff and Gif images
    • Can resize, crop, rotate, flip, clone, import/export pixel data, draw text, provide detailed image info
    • Can be explicitly cast from/to (via cast operator or via extension methods) other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing.Image
      SixLabors.ImageSharp.Image
      SkiaSharp.SKBitmap, SkiaSharp.SKImage
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Platform.PlatformImage
  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Color struct which
    • Can convert from/to html color codes #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA (or short codes #RGB or #RGBA)
    • Can convert from/to named colors
    • Can be implicitly (automatically) cast from/to other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Color
      SixLabors.ImageSharp.Color, SixLabors.ImageSharp.PixelFormats
      SkiaSharp.SKColor
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Color
  • Implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Font class which
    • Can be implicitly (automatically) cast from/to other image libraries:
      System.Drawing.Font
      SixLabors.Fonts.Font
      SkiaSharp.SKFont
      Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Font
  • Also implemented GleamTech.Drawing.Rectangle and GleamTech.Drawing.Size structs.

• Changed: Return type from System.Drawing.Bitmap to GleamTech.Drawing.Image
  for VideoFrameReader.GetFrame and VideoThumbnailer.GetThumbnail methods.
  No changes should be needed, for example IsBlank method is now part of GleamTech.Drawing.Image class.
  You can also use the new extension method ToSystemDrawingBitmap on the frame but it's recommended that
  you adjust your code for the new GleamTech.Drawing.Image class which is very similar.

• Added: An Action parameter named "configure" to UseGleamTech. It's more neat to set GleamTech products
  related configuration in callback and it has better timing for especially web configuration:

  app.UseGleamTech(() =>
  {
  	GleamTechConfiguration.Current.LogEnabled = true;
  
  	VideoUltimateConfiguration.Current.LicenseKey = "QQJDJLJP34...";
  });

• Improved: ExampleExplorer:

  • Added "show system information" button on the top-right corner to display system information in a message box.
  • Show error messages for server handler methods.
  • Refresh page automatically when session is expired.

Included example projects:

• ASP.NET Core (C#) - Visual Studio 2019+
• ASP.NET Core on .NET Framework (C#)- Visual Studio 2017+
• ASP.NET MVC (C#) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET MVC (VB) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET WebForms (C#) - Visual Studio 2015+
• ASP.NET WebForms (VB) - Visual Studio 2015+
