Sandbox

• Released a new tool called Sandbox. It is the easiest way to build and edit imgix URLs. Check it out or read the blog post.

Mark Base Parameter

• Improved the documentation for our markbase parameter with a better example. Read the updated documentation.

Documentation

• Fixed an issue where the trimcol parameter was incorrectly labeled as trimcolor.
• Added documentation for the watermark base (markbase) parameter. This sets a base URL for the watermark in an image.
• Clarified behavior of the nr and nrs parameters.
• Added documentation for the lossless parameter, which will render a JPEG XR or WebP output image losslessly.

Blend Artifacting

• Documented a caveat with the blend parameter when the blend image is transparent. In this case, it is better to use the mark parameter. Read the blend documentation.

Web App

• Improved invoice display to be clearer and account for all different pricing schemes.
• Tweaked news item display to only display items less than two weeks old.

Imgix-CSharp

• Special thanks to Ben Sterrett for putting together an imgix library in C#. It’s tested and complies with imgix-blueprint. You can see it on GitHub: raynjamin/Imgix-CSharp.

hue Parameter

• We’ve documented a new hue parameter, which delivers traditional radial hue manipulation to your imgix toolbelt. Read more about it in the documentation.

8-bit and 32-bit PNGs

• Documented support for two new output formats: png8 and png32. These offer greater control over the output color space of PNG files. Read more on the output format documentation.

Typeface Search

• We’ve implemented a way to search through the typefaces available on imgix. You can see all available typefaces now on the txtfont documentation.

Improved Analytics

• All imgix accounts now have improved analytics sections that go into much more depth around the performance of their account. Read the blog post.

imgix-core-js

• Dropped the lodash dependency from imgix-core-js. This results in shaving 50 kB off of the total footprint of the library. Bumped the version to 0.2.1.

imgix-php

• Merged in a Pull Request from @seanislegend, which fixed an issue when building a URL with no parameters. Thanks, Sean!
• Released 1.0.6.

Face Detection Crop
