Changelog
=========

1.12.1 (2025-12-05)
-------------------

-------------------

- [packaging] Make composite dependencies optional via ``psd-tools[composite]`` extra (#525)
- [api] Lazy-load advanced composite features (vector masks, gradients, effects) to avoid importing optional dependencies unless needed

**Breaking change**: Users who rely on advanced composite features (vector masks, gradient fills,
pattern fills, stroke effects) must now install with ``pip install 'psd-tools[composite]'`` or
install the optional dependencies separately. Basic pixel layer compositing continues to work
with just numpy. This change enables support for Python 3.14 on Windows and other platforms
where composite dependencies may not be available.

0.8.4 (2013-06-12)
------------------

- Point and Millimeter types are added to UnitFloatType (thanks Doug Ellwanger).

0.8.3 (2013-06-01)
------------------

- Some issues with descriptor parsing are fixed (thanks Luke Petre).

0.8.2 (2013-04-12)
------------------

- Python 2.x: reading data from file-like objects is fixed
  (thanks Pavel Zinovkin).

0.8.1 (2013-03-02)
------------------

- Fixed parsing of layer groups without explicit OPEN_FOLDER mark;
- Cython extension is rebuilt with Cython 0.18.

0.8 (2013-02-26)
----------------

- Descriptor parsing (thanks Oliver Zheng);
- text (as string) is extracted from text layers (thanks Oliver Zheng);
- improved support for optional building of Cython extension.

0.7.1 (2012-12-27)
------------------

- Typo is fixed: ``LayerRecord.cilpping`` should be ``LayerRecord.clipping``.
  Thanks Oliver Zheng.

0.7 (2012-11-08)
----------------

- Highly experimental: basic layer merging is implemented
  (e.g. it is now possible to export layer group to a PIL image);
- ``Layer.visible`` no longer takes group visibility in account;
- ``Layer.visible_global`` is the old ``Layer.visible``;
- ``psd_tools.user_api.combined_bbox`` made public;
- ``Layer.width`` and ``Layer.height`` are removed (use ``layer.bbox.width``
  and ``layer.bbox.height`` instead);
- ``pil_support.composite_image_to_PIL`` is renamed to ``pil_support.extract_composite_image`` and
  ``pil_support.layer_to_PIL`` is renamed to ``pil_support.extract_layer_image``
  in order to have the same API for ``pil_support`` and ``pymaging_support``.

0.6 (2012-11-06)
----------------

- ``psd.composite_image()`` is renamed to ``psd.as_PIL()``;
- Pymaging support: ``psd.as_pymaging()`` and ``layer.as_pymaging()`` methods.


0.5 (2012-11-05)
----------------

- Support for zip and zip-with-prediction compression methods is added;
- support for 16/32bit layers is added;
- optional Cython extension for faster zip-with-prediction decompression;
- other speed improvements.

0.2 (2012-11-04)
----------------

- Initial support for 16bit and 32bit PSD files: ``psd-tools`` v0.2 can
  read composite (merged) images for such files and extract information
  (names, dimensions, hierarchy, etc.) about layers and groups of 16/32bit PSD;
  extracting image data for distinct layers in 16/32bit PSD files is not
  suported yet;
- better ``Layer.__repr__``;
- ``bbox`` property for ``Group``.

0.1.4 (2012-11-01)
------------------

Packaging is fixed in this release.

0.1.3 (2012-11-01)
------------------

- Better support for 32bit images (still incomplete);
- reader is able to handle "global" tagged layer info blocks that
  was previously discarded.

0.1.2 (2012-10-30)
------------------

- warn about 32bit images;
- transparency support for composite images.

0.1.1 (2012-10-29)
------------------

Initial release (v0.1 had packaging issues).
