Watersmurph Change Log

Alpha Version 0.82 (10/26/2008)

  • Added: Full Meta Tagging Support!!!
  • Changed: "Jackle" algorithm is complete, tag is now internal.
  • Changed: User's IP address is now internal.
  • Changed: Better alignment of watermarks as well as the randomization placement and new method of merging the large overlay watermark.

The following are requests by testers and developers.
  • To Do: PNG and GIF Support.
  • Never To Do: BMP Support. For highest quality use PNG. This mostly applies to pixel artists.
  • Never To Do: Animated GIF Support. There will be a seperate or sub-engine to log info for Animated GIF files, SWF files, and more; it will not be watermarking.


Alpha Version 0.81.2 (10/23/2008)

  • Changed: New "Jackle" prototype algorithm for ID tags, in preparation for internal file manipulation. Now providing over 1 in 200 BILLION chance of collision (up from 1 in 100 MILLION) in database entries, yet keeping the tag length of 8 characters.
  • Changed: Better "Smurph" algorithm for IP tags to be stable with any IP address, in preparation for internal file manipulation


Alpha Version 0.81.1 (10/22/2008)

  • Updated: Newer testbed output page: [link]
  • Added: New font for tags.
  • Changed: Smooth centered overlay and tags within watermarks according to ratios.


Alpha Version 0.81 (10/19/2008)

  • Updated: Testbed output page: [link]
  • Added: Site validation for both primary and "www" portion.
  • Added: Complete Overlay option for both default and custom watermarks.
  • Changed: Invalid site sources will now render an Access Denied error image.
  • By Design: Custom or default overlay watermark "wos.png" must be stored in the same folder as the real images for diagnostic and error reporting purposes.
  • By Design: Sub-domains (youname.something.com) are not allowed. However, share folder hosting (www.something.com/yourname) will work though not recommended.

Alpha Version 0.80 (10/17/2008)
  • Added: Errors are now rendered as images.
  • Changed: Random X, Y watermark no longer overlaps static watermark.
  • Changed: PHP errors are suppressed and sent to variables which are then displayed within a rendered error image template. This guarantees an image will always be rendered after engine completes. Any failure will result in an error image, success will result in a successfully rendered output.
  • Bug: Low resolution images such as high compression and B&W JPG do not render watermarks well and will be address later on.
  • Bug: Engine does not allow image filenames with spaces. No solution at this time. HTML etiquette is to replace spaces with "_" on filenames.
  • By Design: Direct access is blocked, images must be embedded into a page.
  • By Design: Custom or default watermark must be stored in the same folder as the real images for diagnostic and error reporting purposes.
  • By Design: Currently the engine only accepts JPG images.
