More tweaks and fixes

Version 2.5

ViewImage is now compatible with Windows XP and 32-bit systems!

Added image operations menu, which contains options and effects to modify the image. These will be listed below.

Added the draw text feature, which lets users draw text on the image with parameters such as the X and Y coordinate as well as the font and color used to display the font.

Added crop tool, which lets users crop the image to their desired size and position..

Added automatic adjust tool, which stretches the levels of each color channel to their maximum potential contrast.

Added ability to perform a gaussian blur on the image.

Added the ability to erase all annotations applied to image when desired.

Fixed bug where the window would turn gray if minimized.

Added major changes to the user interface, such as a redesigned context menu with icons, a cleaner toolbar with separators, and more consistent design.

Added ability to make the window always on top.

Added lock button to the image resize UI, which lets users reserve an axis for the program to change based on the image’s current aspect ratio.

If the viewer fails to load a font, it will now tell you the font that is missing and will not annoy you with pop ups anymore.

Undo steps are now stored in disk instead of memory, which decreases the memory usage of the program. There is still a huge issue with undo efficiency which will be fixed in 2.6 when the entire undo system is rewritten.

The file save dialog now defaults to the same directory as the image is loaded in.

The WASD key navigation is now optimized and improved to account for framerate (deltatime) and is now relative to the scale of the image.

The toolbar system has been rewritten to achieve the maximum performance.

The font system has also been rewritten to only load fonts once when the program starts, instead of every time the window has been updated. This should make a positive difference in performance.

Changed mouse behavior to properly unset mouse down when cursor exits window.

Added various optimizations to the draw tool such as only applying linear interpolation when it is necessary.

The toolbar is not re-rendered when panning the image or drawing for increased performance.

Bilinear interpolation is now more optimized.

Due to these optimizations, ViewImage now runs better on wine than it did in previous versions.

Version 2.4

Fixed a bug where the application was taking up all of your CPU usage when idle for no reason

Added copy feature on toolbar to copy the image to the clipboard

Viewport now moves alongside mouse when selecting view preset

Major changes to mouse behavior

Added an eyedropper tool using Shift+Z to select a color from the image

+ and - keys now change zoom

Added frame around the image for improved visibility of transparent background images

Mouse wheel now changes sliders when hovering over

Added asterisk (*) to title bar when changes are not saved

Improved the way fonts are accessed, improving compatibility

Fixed issue with menu where it would not fully render the first time when mouse was placed close to the edge of the window

Improved performance by disabling anti-aliasing when panning the image

Fixed drawing alpha issue by converting images to premultiplied alpha when entering the problem

Improved quality and smoothness of the draw tool sampling

Added dynamic draw tool resolution adjustment based on system speed

Added soft and hard brush modes

Fixed print sizing

Added gamma correction to drawing based functionality to improve readability
