[XnTriq]

Code: Select all

[+] 64 bit version, allowing bigger images to be processed (>50 MP)
[!] improved compression with up to 30% for jpeg images
[+] decoding support for jpeg images using arithmetic coding
[+] improved PE security with DEP and ASLR
[!] the AVX2 instruction set for the 64bit version should provide better performance on larger images
[!] the 32 bit version is gonna be deprecated (probably the last 32 bit release)
[*] fixed display of optiized size in higher text dpi settings
[*] using less memory after the image is analyzed
[*] other minor fixes & tweaks

[XnTriq]

[!] replaced AVX2 with SSE2 for better compatibility with older CPUs

The 64 bit version of the plugin is available for GIMP and XNViewMP.

Note that you need the 64bit version of the host applications too.
XNViewMP comes as 64bit and 32bit, so technically the 32bit version should work with the 32bit version of the plugin.

The installer should detect GIMP 2.10 and XNViewMP. If you used portable versions, you need to manually choose the Plugins/Addons folder.
The installer is now HiDPI aware, and the text will look crisp on such displays.

Note: IrfanView has discontinued support for RIOT. The IrfanView author insists on bundling RIOT and insists on certain size/structure of the plugin. If you want RIOT back you can write him to request to add back the support and not care about the size or structure of RIOT.
