Here is a new release of GridFlow (a multi-dimensional dataflow processing
library for Ruby, jMax and PureData, specialized in pictures and video)

	http://artengine.ca/jmax/gridflow/
	http://artengine.ca/jmax/gridflow/download/gridflow-0.6.4.tar.gz

If you have any questions and/or want to talk, there is the #dataflow
chatroom on IRC.FreeNode.Net, where all MAX-like software is on-topic.

If you have any trouble installing GridFlow, please send me an email about
it or see me on IRC.

version 0.6.4 (2002.12.23):

 * can now decode JPEG (using libjpeg.so)
 * many bugs fixed (especially in file formats)
 * operators: log* added; tanh renamed to tanh*
 * @two,@three,@four are no longer specific to the jMax side
 * format grid: option headerless for reading any kind of file
 * format grid: option headerful (revert to actual .grid format mode)
 * fixed problems with GNU C++ version 3
 * format ppm: accelerated writing
 * format modifier gzfile: gzip support also works with [@out]
 * format x11: the "here" specifier is now optional
 * added @checkers
 * [@scale_by {y x}] for different y,x scale factors
 * [@in blah blah] means "open blah blah" -> [@in] (and same with @out)
 * added @downscale_by with or without smoothing
 * format targa: can now decode 32 bit RGBA
 * @layer: combines RGBA foreground with RGB background, yielding RGB.
 * format grid options: endian big, endian little, endian same
 * formats ppm,grid: use 'option rewind' to overwrite same file
        (by default, rewind is no longer done after each frame)
        ('option rewind' also rewinds on reading)

(the previous version was released on 2002.12.06)
