Community News: Latest PECL Releases (06.22.2021)

Latest PECL Releases:

• sdl 2.5.0
  - Add support for PHP8 (Manuel Baldassarri)
  • Remove support for PHP7 (Manuel Baldassarri)
• rpminfo 0.6.0
  - generate arginfo from stub and add missing default values - raise dependency on PHP 7.2 - raise exception on bad parameter value with PHP 8
• imagick 3.5.0
  - Fixed multiple parameter information issues found in 3.5.0RC1. - ImageMagick 7 is still not widely available on systems. So contrary to previous plans, ImageMagick 6 support will continue for now. But users are recommeded to use ImageMagick 7 if possible. - Method names have been changed to not be all lower case. Both method names and parameter information is built from the Imagick*.stub.php files. - Prevent accidental creation of zero dimension images. ImageMagick doesn't prevent creation of zero dimension images, but will give an error when that image is used. I don't think this will affect any correctly program, but if it does, and you need to re-enable zero dimension images, please open an issue at https://phpimagick.com/issues - Various pieces of work have been done to make GOMP not segfault including: * Call omp_pause_resource_all when available during shutdown. * Added the 'imagick.shutdown_sleep_count' (default 10) and 'imagick.set_single_thread' (default On). Both of these exist to mitigate the segaults on shutdown. - Fixes: * Correct version check to make RemoveAlphaChannel and FlattenAlphaChannel be available when using Imagick with ImageMagick version 6.7.8-x * Imagick::morphology now no longer ignores channel parameter * ImagickPixel::setIndex() takes a Quantum value (aka float in HDRI mode, int in non-HDRI mode). * ImagickPixel::getColorValue() always returns an int value. - Added: * PHP 8.0 support. * Location check for ImageMagick 7 for NixOS and Brew. * Imagick::houghLineImage(int $width, int $height, float $threshold): bool {} * Imagick::setImagePixelColor(int $x, int $y, ImagickPixel|string $color) * Imagick::setImageMask(Imagick $clip_mask, int $pixelmask_type) * Imagick::getImageMask(int $pixelmask_type) * Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_DITHER * Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_RANDOM * Imagick::COMPOSITE_FREEZE * Imagick::COMPOSITE_INTERPOLATE * Imagick::COMPOSITE_NEGATE * Imagick::COMPOSITE_REFLECT * Imagick::COMPOSITE_SOFTBURN * Imagick::COMPOSITE_SOFTDODGE * Imagick::COMPOSITE_STAMP * Imagick::COMPOSITE_RMSE * Imagick::COMPRESSION_DWAA * Imagick::COMPRESSION_DWAB * Imagick::EVALUATE_INVERSE_LOG * Imagick::COLORSPACE_DISPLAYP3 * Imagick::COLORSPACE_ADOBE98 * Imagick::COLORSPACE_PROPHOTO * Imagick::COLORSPACE_JZAZBZ * Imagick::DISTORTION_RIGID_AFFINE * Imagick::DISTORTION_BARRELINVERSE * Imagick::STATISTIC_ROOT_MEAN_SQUARE
