Xloadimage 2.02 is now available.  It may be picked up by one of the
following methods:

- anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/xloadimage.2.02.tar.Z
  for a full distribution or /contrib/xloadimage.2.02.patch.Z for a
  patch to 2.01.
- from comp.sources.x as a patch to 2.01.
- by email from jimf@saber.com as either a patch or a full
  distribution.  if you want a full email distribution, be aware that
  the distribution is roughly one-half megabyte.

Version 2.02 contains the following bug-fixes and enhancements:

	* low-level byte order conversion routines have been
	  macro-ized for the most common case for dramatic speed
	  improvements.
	* -onroot is now compatible with xsetroot.
	* Dithering and halftoning have been sped up somewhat.
	* RLE files now load on MSBFirst machines.
	* Window.c no longer double-paints in some circumstances.
	* Some XWD files that loaded with the wrong colormap will now
	  load correctly.
	* G3 FAX files now load and are differentiated from MacPaint
	  files.
	* A bug where servers whose depths were not 1 or multiples of
	  8 bits would not load images which used the default colormap
	  was fixed.  If you had color problems under 2.x and not
	  under 1.6, this fixes the problem.
	* The default gamma value was changed to 1.0 as documented.
	* A simple normalization function, -normalize, was added.
	* A grayscale conversion function, -gray, was added.
	* An option to load the root weave, -default, was added.

Enjoy,
