<!-- ************************************************************************************** -->
<current>
New Features and Improvements:
- Deep Learning:
- Added scale_ layer, allowing implementation of squeeze-and-excitation networks.
- Added loss_multimulticlass_log: used for learning a collection of multi-class classifiers.
- Added a random forest regression tool. See random_forest_regression_trainer.
- Added make_bounding_box_regression_training_data()
- Added isotonic_regression
- Added momentum_filter, rect_filter, find_optimal_momentum_filter(), and
find_optimal_rect_filter().
- Added binomial_random_vars_are_different() and event_correlation().
- Added xcorr_fft(), a routine for efficiently performing large cross-correlations using the FFT.
- Added the ramdump type decorator for invoking faster serialization routines.
- Added check_serialized_version()
- Added max_scoring_element() and min_scoring_element()
- Made orthogonalize() faster.
- Updates to the Python API:
- Added interface to the global_function_search object. This is a more general
interface to the solver used by find_max_global().
- Added support for variadic Python functions in find_max_global().
- Added rect_filter and find_optimal_rect_filter().
- Added make_bounding_box_regression_training_data()
- Added the image_dataset_metadata routines for parsing XML datasets.
- Added rvm_trainer
- Added probability_that_sequence_is_increasing()
- Added dlib.__time_compiled__ field
- Added num_threads to shape_predictor_training_options.
- Added CUDA controlling routines such as set_device() and
set_dnn_prefer_smallest_algorithms().
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed CMake so that there is only the dlib target and it isn't forced to
be static. Instead, the build type will toggle based on the state of CMake's
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable. So there is no longer a dlib_shared target.
- Changed the integer types used to represent sizes from 32bits to 64bits in numerous
places, such as in the tensor object. This should be a backwards compatible change
for nearly all client code.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed memory leak in java swig array binding tool.
- Fixed windows include order problem in all/source.cpp file.
- Fixed cont_ layers not printing the correct num_filters parameter when they were
printed to std::cout or to XML.
- Fixed some code not handling OBJECT_PART_NOT_PRESENT values correctly.
- Fixed fft_inplace() not compiling for compile time sized matrices.
- The shape_predictor_trainer could have very bad runtime for some really
bad parameter settings. This has been fixed and also warning messages about
really bad training data or parameters have been added.
- Fixed the decayed running stats objects so they use unbiased estimators.
</current>
<!-- ************************************************************************************** -->
<old name="19.9" date="Jan 22, 2018">
New Features and Improvements:
- Switched the Python API from Boost.Python to pybind11. This means Python
users don't need to install Boost anymore, making building dlib's Python API
much easier.
- Made the sparse version of svd_fast() use multiple CPU cores.
- Changed the behavior of imglab's --flip option. It will now attempt to
adjust any object part labels so that the flipped dataset has the same
average part layout as the source dataset. There is also a new --flip-basic
option that behaves like the old --flip. However, most people flipping a
dataset with part annotations will want to use --flip. For more details
see: http://blog.dlib.net/2018/01/correctly-mirroring-datasets.html
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Removed std::auto_ptr from dlib's old (and depreciated) smart pointers.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed global_optimization.py not working in Python 3.
</old>
<!-- ************************************************************************************** -->
<old name="19.8" date="Dec 19, 2017">
New Features and Improvements:
- Added a global optimizer, find_max_global(), which is suitable for
optimizing expensive functions with many local optima. For example, you
can use it for hyperparameter optimization. See model_selection_ex.cpp
for an example.
- Updates to the deep learning tooling:
- Added semantic segmentation examples: dnn_semantic_segmentation_ex.cpp
and dnn_semantic_segmentation_train_ex.cpp
- New layers: loss_ranking, loss_epsilon_insensitive, softmax_all, and loss_dot.
- Made log loss layers more numerically stable.
- Upgraded the con layer so you can set the number of rows or columns to
0 in the layer specification. Doing this means "make the filter cover
the whole input image dimension". This provides an easy way to make a
filter sized so it will have one output along that dimension,
effectively making it like a fully connected layer operating on a row
or column.
- Added support for non-scale-invariant MMOD.
- Added an optional parameter to dnn_trainer::get_net() that allows you
to call the function without forcing a state flush to disk.
- Sometimes the loss_mmod layer could experience excessively long runtime
during early training iterations. This has been optimized and is now
much faster.
- Optimized the tensor's management of GPU memory. It now uses less memory
in some cases. It will also not perform a reallocation if resized to a
smaller size. Instead, tensors now behave like std::vector in that
they just change their nominal size but keep the same memory, only
reallocating if they are resized to something larger than their
underlying memory block. This change makes some uses of dlib faster, in
particular, running networks on a large set of images of differing
sizes will now run faster since there won't be any GPU reallocations,
which are notoriously slow.
- Upgraded the input layer so you can give
input<std::array<matrix<T>,K>> types as input. Doing
this will create input tensors with K channels.
- Added disjoint_subsets_sized
- Added Python APIs: get_face_chips(), count_steps_without_decrease(),
count_steps_without_decrease_robust(), and jitter_image().
- Various improvements to CMake scripts: e.g. improved warning and error
messages, added USE_NEON_INSTRUCTIONS option.
- chol() will use a banded Cholesky algorithm for banded matrices, making it
much faster in these cases.
- Changed the timing code to use the C++11 high resolution clock and
atomics. This makes the timing code a lot more precise.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the random_cropper's set_min_object_size() routine to take min box
dimensions in the same format as the mmod_options object (i.e. two lengths
measured in pixels). This should make defining random_cropping strategies
that are consistent with MMOD settings more straightforward since you can
simply take the mmod_options settings and give them to the random_cropper
and it will do the right thing.
- Changed the mean squared loss layers to return a loss that's the MSE, not
0.5*MSE. The only thing this effects is the logging messages that print
during training, which were confusing since the reported loss was half the
size you might naively expect.
- Changed the outputs of test_regression_function() and cross_validate_regression_trainer().
These functions now output 4D rather than 2D vectors. The new output is:
mean squared error, correlation, mean absolute error, and standard
deviation of absolute error. I also made test_regression_function() take
a non-const reference to the regression function so that DNN objects can
be tested.
- Fixed shape_predictor_trainer padding so it behaves as it used to. In
dlib 19.7 the padding code was changed and accidentally doubled the size
of the applied padding in some cases. It's not a huge deal either way, but
this change reverts back to the previous behavior.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed toMat() not compiling in some cases.
- Significantly reduced the compile time of the DNN example programs in
visual studio.
- Fixed a few image processing functions that weren't using the generic
image interface.
- Fixed a bug in the random_cropper where it might crash due to division by
0 if small images were given as input.
- Fixed a bug in how the mmod_options automatically determines detection
window sizes. It would pick a bad size in some cases.
- Fixed load_image_dataset()'s skip_empty_images() option. It wasn't
skipping images that only have ignore boxes when you load into mmod_rect
objects.
- Fixed a bug where chinese_whispers(), when called from python, would
sometimes return a labels array that didn't include labels for all the
inputs.
- Fixed a bug in dlib's MS Windows GUI code that was introduced a little
while back when we switched everything to std::shared_ptr. This change
fixes a bug where the program crashes or hangs sometimes during program
shutdown.
- Fixed error in TIME_THIS() introduced in dlib 19.7. It was printing
seconds when it said minutes in the output.
- Adding missing implementation of tabbed_display::selected_tab.
- Changed the windows signaler and mutex code to use the C++11 thread
library instead of the old win32 functions. I did this to work around how
windows unloads dlls. In particular, during dll unload windows will kill
all threads, THEN it will destruct global objects. So this can lead to
problems when a global object that owns threads tries to tell them to
shutdown, since the threads have already vanished. The new code mitigates
some of these problems, in particular, there were some cases where
unloading dlib's python extension would deadlock. This should now be
fixed.
- Fixed compile time errors when either of these macros were enabled:
DLIB_STACK_TRACE, DLIB_ISO_CPP_ONLY.

<old name="19.7" date="Sep 17, 2017">
New Features and Improvements:
- Deep Learning:
- The CNN+MMOD detector is now a multi-class detector. In particular,
the mmod_rect object now has a string label field which you can use to
label objects, and the loss_mmod_ layer will learn to label objects with
those labels. For an example, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHbJ7HhbG74
- CNN+MMOD detectors are now 2.5x faster. For instance, this example program
http://dlib.net/dnn_mmod_find_cars_ex.cpp.html now runs at 98fps instead
of 39fps.
- Added a 5 point face landmarking model that is over 10x smaller than the
68 point model, runs faster, and works with both HOG and CNN generated
face detections. It is now the recommended landmarking model to use for
face alignment. render_face_detections() and get_face_chip_details() have been
updated to work with both 5 and 68 point models, so the new 5 point model is
a drop in replacement for the 68 point model.
- The imglab tool is slightly improved. It will display box labels with
higher relative contrast. You can also now press END or i to ignore boxes
in imglab. This is useful because it's a much less stressing hand motion
to hit END that i in most cases.
- Added overloads of sub_image() that take raw pointers so you can make
sub_images of anything.
- Changed TIME_THIS() to use std::chrono::high_resolution_clock, so now it's
much higher precision.
- Exposed Chinese whispers clustering to Python, added face clustering example.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
Bug fixes:
- Fixed an error in input_rgb_image_pyramid::image_contained_point(). The
function might erroneously indicate that a point wasn't inside the original
image when really it was, causing spurious error messages.
- mmod_options would pick bad window sizes in some corner cases. This has been fixed.
- Fixed a bug in the extract layer that trigged when a tensor with a
different number of samples than the tensor used to initialize the network
was passed through the layer.
- The loss_per_missed_target parameter of the loss_mmod_ wasn't being used
exactly right when boxes were auto-ignored. There weren't any practical
user facing problems due to this, but it has nevertheless been fixed.

<old name="19.5" date="Aug 27, 2017">
New Features and Improvements:
- Deep Learning
- Added a python wrapper for using the CNN face detector.
- Added support for cuDNN v6 and v7.
- Added a simple tool to convert dlib model files to caffe models.
See the tools/convert_dlib_nets_to_caffe folder for details.
- New DNN layers
- loss_multiclass_log_per_pixel_
- loss_multiclass_log_per_pixel_weighted_
- loss_mean_squared_per_pixel_
- cont_ (transpose convolution, sometimes called "deconvolution")
- mult_prev_ (like add_prev_ but multiplies instead of adds)
- extract_ (sort of like caffe's slice layer)
- upsample_ (upsamples a tensor using bilinear interpolation)
- Object Detection
- Upgraded loss_mmod_ to support objects of varying aspect ratio. This
changes the API for the mmod_options struct slightly.
- Relaxed the default non-max suppression parameters used by the
mmod_options object so that users of the deep learning MMOD tool don't
get spurious errors about impossibly labeled objects during training.
- Added missing input validation to loss_mmod_. Specifically, the loss
layer now checks if the user is giving truth boxes that can't be detected
because the non-max suppression settings would prevent them from being
output at the same time. If this happens then we print a warning message
and set one of the offending boxes to "ignore". I also changed all
the input validation errors to warning messages with auto conversion
to ignore boxes rather than exceptions.
- Changed the random_cropper's interface so that instead of talking in
terms of min and max object height, it's now min and max object size.
This way, if you have objects that are short and wide (i.e. objects where
the relevant dimension is width rather than height) you will get sensible
behavior out of the random cropper.
- Added options to input_rgb_image_pyramid that let the user set
create_tiled_pyramid()'s padding parameters. Also changed the default
outer border padding from 0 to 11. This effects even previously trained
models. So any model that doesn't explicitly set the outer patting to
something else will have a padding of 11. This should be a more
reasonable value for most networks.
- Added process() and process_batch() to add_loss_layer. These routines
let you easily pass arguments to any optional parameters of a loss
layer's to_tensor() routine. For instance, it makes it more convenient to
set loss_mmod_'s adjust_threshold parameter.
- Added visit_layers_until_tag()
- Improved how dnn_trainer synchronizes its state to disk. It now uses
two files and alternates between them. This should be more robust in
the face of random hardware failure during synchronization than the
previous synchronization method.
- Made it so you can set the number of output filters for con_ layers at runtime.
- The way cuDNN work buffers are managed has been improved, leading to
less GPU RAM usage. Therefore, users should not need to call
set_dnn_prefer_smallest_algorithms() anymore.
- Added operator<< for random_cropper and dnn_trainer to allow
easy logging of training parameters.
- Made concat_ layer a lot faster.
- Made the dnn_trainer not forget all the previous loss values it knows
about when it determines that there have been a lot of steps without
progress and shrinks the learning rate. Instead, it removes only a
small amount of the oldest values. The problem with the old way of
removing all the loss values in the history was that if you set the
steps without progress threshold to a really high number you would
often observe that the last few learning rate values were obviously not
making progress, however, since all the previous loss values were
forgotten the trainer needed to fully populate its loss history from
scratch before it would figure this out. This new style makes the
trainer not waste time running this excessive optimization of obviously
useless mini-batches. I also changed the default
get_test_iterations_without_progress_threshold() from 200 to 500. Now
that we have a better history management of loss values in the trainer
it's much more sensible to have a larger value here.
- Dlib's simd classes will now use ARM NEON instructions. This makes the
HOG based object detector faster on mobile devices running ARM processors.
- Added last_modified() method to dlib::file. Also, added
select_oldest_file() and select_newest_file().
- Added solve_qp_box_constrained_blockdiag()
- Added an overload of mat() that takes a row stride value.
- Added cmake scripts and some related tooling that makes it easy to call
C++ code from java. See dlib/java/ folder.
- MATLAB MEX wrapper API
- Made the mex wrapper deal with cell arrays that have null elements.
- Made ctrl+c detection in a mex file work more reliably in newer versions of matlab.
- Added set_rect_area()
- Gave test_object_detection_function() an option to set how ignore box
overlap is tested.
- Added serialization support for the running_stats_decayed object.
- Additions to imglab
- Added --sort and also the ability to propagate boxes from one image to
the next using dlib::correlation_tracker.
- Made it so you can remove images by pressing alt+d.
- Made is so pressing e in imglab toggles between views of the image
where the histogram is equalized or unmodified. This way, if you are
looking at particularly dark or badly contrasted images you can toggle
this mode and maybe get a better view of what you are labeling.
- Made the attribute_list of the xml parser a little more friendly by
allowing you to ask for attributes that don't exist and get a defined
behavior (an exception being thrown) rather than it being a contract
violation.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- DNN solver objects are now required to declare operator<<.
- Broke backwards compatibility with previous dnn_trainer serialization
format. The network serialization format has not changed however. So old
model files will still load properly.
- Changed random_cropper interface.
- Changed the XML format output by net_to_xml(). Specifically, the XML tag
for affine layers was changed to use the same conventions as other layers
that support convolutional vs fully connected modes.
- Dlib's smart pointers have been deprecated and all of dlib's code has been
changed to use the std:: version of these smart pointers. The old dlib
smart pointers are still present, allowing users to explicitly include
them if needed, but users should migrate to the C++11 standard version of
these tools.
- Changed the functions that transform between input tensor coordinates and
output tensor coordinates to use dpoint instead of point. This way, we can
obtain sub-pixel coordinates if we need them.
- Upgraded loss_mmod_ to support objects of varying aspect ratio. This
changes the API for the mmod_options struct slightly.
Bug fixes:
- Made resize_image() and functions that use it like the pyramid objects
produce better results when run on float and double images. There was
needless rounding to integers happening in the bilinear interpolation. Now
if you work with a float image the entire process will run without integer
rounding.
- Made the input_tensor_to_output_tensor() and output_tensor_to_input_tensor()
coordinate mappings work on networks that contain skip layers.
- The input_rgb_image_sized is supposed to be convertible to
input_rgb_image, which it was in all ways except you couldn't deserialize
directly like you would expect. This has now been fixed.
- There was a bug in the concat_ layer's backward() method. It was assigning
the gradient to previous layers instead of adding the gradient, as required
by the layer interface specification. Probably no-one has been impacted
by this bug, but it's still a bug and has been fixed.
- Changed the random_cropper so that it samples background patches uniformly
across scales regardless of the input image size. Previously, if you gave
really large images or really small images it had a bias towards giving only
large patches or small patches respectively.
- Fixed name lookup problem for calls to serialize() on network objects.
- Fixed double delete in tokenizer_kernel_1.
- Fixed error in pyramid_down<2> that caused the output image to be a
little funny looking in some cases.
- Fixed the visit_layers_backwards() and visit_layers_backwards_range()
routines so they visit layers in the correct order.
- Made build scripts work on a wider range of platforms and configurations.
- Worked around global timer cleanup issues that occur on windows when dlib
is used in a dll in some situations.
- Fixed various compiler errors in obscure environments.

<!-- ************************************************************************************** -->
<old name="19.3" date="Feb 21, 2017">
New Features:
- Deep Learning
- Added a state-of-the-art face recognition tool (99.38% accuracy on the
LFW benchmark) with C++ and Python example programs.
- Added these new loss layer types: loss_metric_, loss_mean_squared_, and
loss_mean_squared_multioutput_.
- Added the l2normalize_ computational layer.
- Added test_one_step() to the dnn_trainer. This allows you to do
automatic early stopping based on observing the loss on held out data.
- Made the dnn_trainer automatically reload from the last good state if a
loss of NaN is encountered.
- Made alias_tensor usable when it is const.
- Dlib's simd classes will now use PowerPC VSX instructions. This makes the
HOG based object detector faster on PowerPC machines.
- Added compute_roc_curve()
- Added find_gap_between_convex_hulls()
- Added serialization support for std::array.
- Added running_scalar_covariance_decayed object
- Added running_stats_decayed object
- Added min_pointwise() and max_pointwise().
- Added a 1D clustering routine: segment_number_line().
- Added Intel MKL FFT bindings.
- Added matlab_object to the mex wrapper. Now you can have parameters that
are arbitrary matlab objects.
- Added support for loading of RGBA JPEG images
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the loss layer interface to use two typedefs, output_label_type
and training_label_type instead of a single label_type. This way, the label
type used for training can be distinct from the type output by the network.
This change breaks backwards compatibility with the previous API.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed compiler warnings and errors on newer compilers.
- Fixed a bug in the repeat layer that caused it to throw exceptions in some
cases.
- Fixed matlab crashing if an error message from a mex file used the %
character, since that is interpreted by matlab as part of an eventual
printf() code.
- Fixed compile time error in random_subset_selector::swap()
- Fixed missing implementation of map_input_to_output() and
map_output_to_input() in the concat_ layer.
- Made the dnn_trainer's detection and backtracking from situations with
increasing loss more robust. Now it will never get into a situation where it
backtracks over and over. Instead, it will only backtrack a few times in a
row before just letting SGD run unimpeded.
Other:
- Usability improvements to DNN API.
- Improved C++11 detection, especially on OS X.
- Made dlib::thread_pool use std::thread and join on the threads in
thread_pool's destructor. The previous implementation used dlib's global
thread pooling to allocate threads to dlib::thread_pool, however, this
sometimes caused annoying behavior when used as part of a MATLAB mex file,
very occasionally leading to matlab crashes when mex files were unloaded.
This also means that dlib::thread_pool construction is a little bit slower
than it used to be.
</old>
<!-- ************************************************************************************** -->
<old name="19.2" date="Oct 10, 2016">
New Features:
- Updates to the deep learning API:
- Added tools for making convolutional neural network based object detectors. See
dnn_mmod_ex.cpp example program.
- Added annotation() to tensor so you can associate any object you want with a tensor.
- Made layer_details() part of the SUBNET interface so that user defined layer
details objects can access each other. Also added the input_layer() global function
for accessing the input layer specifically.
- alias_tensor can now create aliases of const tensors.
- Added set_all_bn_running_stats_window_sizes().
- Added visit_layers_backwards(), visit_layers_backwards_range(), and
visit_layers_range().
- Computational layers can now optionally define map_input_to_output() and
map_output_to_input() member functions. If all layers of a network provide these
functions then the new global functions input_tensor_to_output_tensor() and
output_tensor_to_input_tensor() can be used to map between the network's input and
output tensor coordinates. This is important for fully convolutional object
detectors since they need to map between the image space and final feature space.
These new functions are important for tools like the new MMOD detector.
- Added input_rgb_image_pyramid.
- Image Processing
- The imglab command line tool has these new options: --min-object-size, --rmempty,
--rmlabel, --rm-if-overlaps, and --sort-num-objects. I also changed the behavior of
--split so that it simply partitions the data and is an invertible operation.
- Added mmod_rect
- Added an overload of load_image_dataset() that outputs directly to mmod_rect
instead of rectangle.
- Added image_dataset_file::shrink_big_images(). So now load_image_dataset() can load
a dataset of high resolution files at a user requested lower resolution.
- Added box_intersection_over_union().
- Added create_tiled_pyramid(), image_to_tiled_pyramid(), and tiled_pyramid_to_image().
- Added random_cropper
- Upgraded dlib's mex wrapper tooling to enable easy binding of C++ classes to MATLAB
objects.
- Added nearest_rect()
- Added find_upper_quantile()
- Added count_steps_without_decrease_robust().
- Added get_double_in_range() to dlib::rand.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- C++11 is now required to use dlib.
- Changed pinv() so it interprets its tol argument relative to the largest singular
value of the input matrix rather than as an absolute tolerance. This should generally
improve results, but could change the output in some cases.
- Renamed the class members of test_box_overlap so they are less confusing.
- Updates to the deep learning API:
- Changed the DNN API so that sample_expansion_factor is a runtime variable rather
than a compile time constant. This also removes it from the input layer interface
since the DNN core now infers its value at runtime. Therefore, users that define their
own input layers don't need to specify it anymore.
- Changed DEFAULT_BATCH_NORM_EPS from 1e-5 to 1e-4.
- Changed the default batch normalization running stats window from 1000 to 100.
Bug fixes:
- Made the relational operators constexpr so they don't accidentally cause compilation
errors when they get pulled into the scope of template metaprogramming expressions.
- Fixed all/source.cpp not compiling in some instances.
- CMake scripts now do a better job detecting things like C++11 support, the presence of
CUDA, and other system specific details that could cause the build to fail if not
properly configured.
- Fixed a bug in imglab's --cluster option where it would output xml files with empty
entries if the input xml file contained unannotated images.
- Fixed imglab's --cluster option not working with relative paths.
Other:
- Made the thread local variables that hold the cudnn and cublas context objects not
destruct and recreate themselves when you switch devices. Instead, they keep a table
of context objects, for each thread and device, reusing as necessary. This prevents
churn in the context objects when you are switching back and forth between devices
inside a single thread, making things run more efficiently for some CUDA based
workflows.
- Made the message argument of the DLIB_ASSERT and DLIB_CASSERT macros optional.
- Made thread_pool and parallel_for propagate exceptions from task threads to calling
code rather than killing the application if a task thread throws.
- Changed imglab --resample so that it never changes the aspect ratio of an image.
- Made the check in dnn_trainer for convergence more robust. Previously, if we
encountered a bad mini-batch that made the loss value suddenly jump up by a larger than
normal value it could make the trainer think we converged. Now the test is robust to
transient spikes in loss value. Additionally, the dnn_trainer will now check if the
loss has been increasing before it saves the state to disk. If it detects that the loss
has been going up then instead of saving to disk it recalls the previously good state.
This way, if we hit a really bad mini-batch during training which negatively effects
the model in a significant way, the dnn_trainer will automatically revert back to an
earlier good state.

- Improved the shape_predictor. In particular, it can now be learned from

the previous feature extraction output but should slightly improve
accuracy of classifiers trained using these features.
- Fixed jet() and heatmap() so they work on empty images.
- The SQLite transaction object did not function correctly when compiled
in a C++11 program. Since its destructor can throw, an exception
specification needed to be added indicating that this was possible since
destructors are now noexcept by default in C++11.
- Fixed a bug pointed out by Ernesto Tapia that could cause matrix

<old name="18.11" date="Nov 13, 2014">
New Features:
- Added save_jpeg()
- Added the option to use an identity matrix prior to vector_normalizer_frobmetric.
- Made the extract_image_chips() routine more flexible, in particular: Added
get_mapping_to_chip(), get_face_chip_details(), map_det_to_chip(), and also
upgraded chip_details so you can specify a chip extraction by a bunch of
point correspondences between the chip and the original image.
- Added a set of local-binary-pattern based feature extractors:
make_uniform_lbp_image(), extract_histogram_descriptors(),
extract_uniform_lbp_descriptors(), and extract_highdim_face_lbp_descriptors()
- Added compute_lda_transform()
- Added equal_error_rate()
- Added cast_to() to the type_safe_union. This allows you to get the
contents of a const type_safe_union.

New Features:
- Added find_similarity_transform()
- Added the ability to upgrade a auto_mutex_readonly from a readonly lock to a write
lock.
- Added an implementation of the paper "One Millisecond Face Alignment with an Ensemble
of Regression Trees" by Vahid Kazemi and Josephine Sullivan which appeared in this
year's CVPR conference. Therefore, dlib now includes tools for learning shape models
and also comes with a state-of-the-art face landmark locator. See the
face_landmark_detection_ex.cpp and train_shape_predictor_ex.cpp example programs for
an introduction.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Made the interface to all the image processing routines more generic. In particular,
it is now easier to use arbitrary image types with dlib. The new generic image
interface is defined in dlib/image_processing/generic_image.h and simply consists of
seven user defined global functions and a traits template. Any user code that was
using array2d objects to represent images will still work. However, if you had been
using your own custom image object you will need to provide implementations of the
seven functions. Instructions for how to do this are in
dlib/image_processing/generic_image.h.
Bug fixes:
- Changed the murmur hash implementation to avoid any possibility of strict aliasing
violations in user code, even when things get inlined in unfavorable ways.
- Fixed a color space handling bug in resize_image() that caused bad looking outputs in
some cases.
- If "cmake" was a substring of the full path to your source code folder then the cmake
scripts would fail. This has been fixed.
- Fixed a compile time error that could occur when using find_max_single_variable().
Other:
- load_image() now uses the internal file header information to detect the
image format rather than looking at the file extension.
- Renamed unit test program to dtest avoid warnings from CMake.
- cross_validate_trainer() and cross_validate_trainer_threaded() no loner make copies
of the training data. This significantly reduces their RAM usage for large datasets.
- Changed the serialization code for C-strings so that they don't save the null
terminator byte. This makes their serialization format the same as the format for
std::string. The code should still be able to read all previously serialized data
correctly, so the change is backwards compatible with previous versions of dlib.
- Changed the evaluate_detectors() routine so that it applies non-max suppression to
each detector individually. This way one detector doesn't stomp on the output of
another detector.
- Made the version of draw_line() that draws onto a regular image use alpha blending
for drawing diagonal lines.

- Added a user settable loss to the structural_assignment_trainer and
structural_track_association_trainer objects.

- Added the new split_on_first() and split_on_last() string manipulation functions.
- Added locally_change_current_dir, a RAII tool for switching between directories.
- You can now make a 1x1 matrix containing a single value by calling mat() on a single
scalar value.
- The point transform functions and frobmetric_training_sample are now serializable.
- Added a simplified operator << and >> based syntax for serializing to and
from files. So now you can serialize to a file using a syntax of:
serialize("myfile.dat") << myobject << another_object;
and then load those objects from disk via:
deserialize("myfile.dat") >> myobject >> another_object;
An arbitrary number of objects can be serialized or deserialized by
chaining the << and >> operators.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug pointed out by Daniel Girardeau-Montaut. The covariance()

- Fixed a bug in the backtracking_line_search() function pointed out by
Ping-Chang Shih. The function ignored the max_iter parameter.
- Fixed a compiler error encountered when using clang 3.4 on Mac OS X 10.9.

<old name="18.7" date="Apr 09, 2014">
New Features:
- Added a Python API for working with fHOG based object detectors. See the
new python example programs train_object_detector.py and face_detector.py for
more details.
- Added the ability to use a user supplied fHOG style feature extractor with
the scan_fhog_pyramid object. So now you can define your own version of HOG
for use with these tools.
- The oca solver now supports taking a user supplied prior vector. That is,
it lets you use a regularizer like ||w-prior||^2 instead of the usual
||w||^2 regularizer.
- Added the structural_track_association_trainer object. It is a structural
SVM tool for creating multi-target tracking algorithms. See the
learning_to_track_ex.cpp example program for an introduction.
- Added the following minor utility functions: nearest_center(),
add_image_rotations(), set_aspect_ratio(), and tile_images().
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Refactored the load_image_dataset() routines so they are easier to use and
more flexible. This introduces a slight backwards incompatibility in that
the version that loads full_object_detection objects now returns an ignore
rectangle set instead of a parts name list. Other than that the changes
are backwards compatible with previous versions of dlib.
- Added a bias term to the assignment_function's model so the user doesn't
need to remember, or even understand, that they should add it themselves.
However, this change breaks backwards compatibility with the previous
serialization format for assignment_function objects.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a number of compile time errors that could occur in rare cases.
- The stopping condition for the svr_linear_trainer was too tight, causing it
to take an excessive amount of time to converge in some cases.
- Disabled use of XIM for X11 windowing since it makes programs hang on some
systems. However, this means the wide character input methods won't work on
X11 systems anymore.
- Fixed a bug in randomize_samples() which caused the outputs to be not as
random as they should be.
- Fixed dlib's CMakeLists.txt file so that the "use FFTW" option actually
causes the build to use FFTW.
- Fixed a compile time error that triggered when trying to link with FFTW.
- mat() did not work correctly when used with std::vector<bool> objects.

based object detectors.
- Added get_frontal_face_detector(), a HOG based face detector.
- Added an option to include "ignore/don't care" truth boxes to the
structural_object_detection_trainer. This allows a user to tell the trainer that
they don't care if certain objects are detected or not detected.
- Image Processing Tools:
- Added extract_image_chips()
- Added a version of draw_rectangle() for drawing on images.
- The spatial filtering routines now support even sized filters.
- Added flip_image_dataset_left_right(), upsample_image_dataset(), and
rotate_image_dataset().
- Machine Learning Tools:
- Added a nuclear norm regularization option to the structural SVM solver.
- Added the option to learn only non-negative weights to the
svm_multiclass_linear_trainer.
- Speed Improvements:
- The svm_multiclass_linear_trainer, one_vs_one_trainer, and one_vs_all_trainer
objects are now multithreaded. This also means you have to #include
dlib/svm_threaded.h instead of dlib/svm.h to use these tools.
- A number of image processing tools can now optionally use SSE and AVX instructions
and are therefore considerably faster. In particular, the following tools have been
accelerated: extract_fhog_features, resize_image, pyramid_down, pyramid_up,
spatially_filter_image_separable, and spatially_filter_image.
- Added an inv() routine that inverts point transformation functions.
- Added a sign() routine for matrix objects.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- The spatial image filtering functions have the following changes:
- They no longer zero the image borders when you set the add_to parameter to true.
- The spatially_filter_image_separable_down() routine now only allows grayscale
output images.
- Changed the default parameters of the test_box_overlap object. Now it defaults to
using exactly the PASCAL VOC match criterion.
- To use the svm_multiclass_linear_trainer, one_vs_one_trainer, or one_vs_all_trainer
objects you now have to #include dlib/svm_threaded.h instead of dlib/svm.h.
- pyramid_up() no longer has a levels option.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a compile time bug that could occur when wide character strings were
serialized.
- Fixed a compile time bug occurring in gcc 4.7.1 on SUSE Linux. Thanks to Volker
Härtel for finding this.
- Fixed compile time errors that occurred when using gcc on cygwin.
- Fixed a compile time bug that could occur when serializing mlp objects.
- Fixed a bug in the bigint object that caused division to sometimes produce incorrect
results.
- Fixed a bug which sometimes caused load_image_dataset() to erroneously report that
the dataset file could not be found.
- Fixed a bug in the structural_object_detection_trainer that caused it to erroneously
throw a impossible_labeling_error exception in certain rare cases.
- Updated find_max_factor_graph_nmplp() to use the improved version of the algorithm
from the 2011 paper Introduction to dual decomposition for inference by David Sontag,
Amir Globerson, and Tommi Jaakkola. The original algorithm presented in their 2008
paper had an error that negatively affected its convergence. Thanks to James Gunning
for pointing this out.
Other:
- Fixed many compiler warnings in gcc 4.8.
- Made many of the mat() converters bind the resulting matrix expressions into BLAS
functions.
- libpng and libjpeg are now included in the dlib/external folder to enable easy static
linking to these libraries on platforms that typically don't have them (e.g. Windows).
Moreover, dlib's cmake files will automatically perform this static linking when no
copy of these libraries is found on the system.

- Added vector_normalizer_frobmetric. This is a tool for learning a
Mahalanobis distance metric.
- The user can now set different loss values for false alarming vs. getting a
correct detection when using the structural_sequence_segmentation_trainer.
- Added an overload of clamp() that lets you use matrix valued lower/upper bounds.
- New image processing tools:
- Added the scan_image_custom object, split_array(), and add_image_left_right_flips().
- Added extract_fhog_features(), this is a function for computing
Felzenszwalb's 31 channel HOG image representation.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Refactored the image pyramid code. Now there is just one templated object called
pyramid_down and you give it the downsampling amount as a template argument. To make
old code work with this change use the following substitutions:
change pyramid_down to pyramid_down<2>
change pyramid_down_3_2 to pyramid_down<3>
change pyramid_down_4_3 to pyramid_down<4>
change pyramid_down_5_4 to pyramid_down<5>
Bug fixes:
Other:
- Made the structural SVM solver slightly faster.
- Moved the python C++ utility headers from tools/python/src into dlib/python.
- The PNG loader is now able to load grayscale images with an alpha channel.
- Removed checks that prevented users from using references to functions with the
optimization code and forced the use of function pointers. This was to avoid
triggering a bug in gcc 4.0. Since that compiler is no longer officially supported
by dlib I've removed these checks to increase usability.
- Made resize_image() use bilinear interpolation by default and also added a special
version of it that is optimized for this case.
- Dlib's cmake files will now automatically link to the Intel MKL on MS Windows
platforms if the MKL is installed.

mean average precision.
- Added an option to weight the features from a hashed_feature_image relative to the
number of times they occur in an image. I also made it the default behavior to use
this relative weighting and changed the serialization format to accommodate this.

- Fixed a bug in running_scalar_covariance that caused the covariance() and
correlation() methods to output the wrong answer if the covariance was negative.
Other:

<old name="18.2" date="May 30, 2013">
New Features:
- Object Detection Tools:
- Added another image scanning tool similar to scan_image_pyramid. This
is the new scan_image_boxes object. It allows a user to easily specify
an arbitrary set of object boxes which should be checked by an object
detector rather than scanning a fixed sized window over the image as is
done by the scan_image_pyramid tool. This allows more flexible scanning
strategies. For example, it is now possible to use the selective search
method implemented by the new find_candidate_object_locations() routine.
- Added the binned_vector_feature_image.
- Upgraded the object_detector so that you can use the adjust_threshold
argument for all versions of the operator() method.
- Added remove_unobtainable_rectangles()
- Hashing Tools:
- Added a set of new locality sensitive hashing functions meant for use
with larger vectors and higher bit sizes than the current LSH tools.
These are the new hash_similar_angles_xxx objects.
- Added find_k_nearest_neighbors_lsh() and hash_samples()
- Added create_max_margin_projection_hash()
- New Matrix Routines: linpiece(), fft(), and ifft()
- Added numeric constants and additional statistics to the running_stats
object. This code was contributed by Steve Taylor.
- Added the image_window::get_next_keypress() routine. This tool allows a
user to easily find out which keyboard key the user is pressing.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the object_detector interface slightly. In particular, it no
longer adds the adjust_threshold argument to the output scores.
- The object detector testing functions now output mean average precision in
addition to precision and recall.
- Changed how dlib does serialization in a number of ways:
- The running_stats and scan_image_pyramid objects have had their
serialization format changed in a way that breaks backwards
compatibility. This means serialized versions of these objects can't be
loaded by the new version of dlib.
- Changed the format dlib uses when it serializes floating point values.
Previously, we used an ASCII based format. Dlib now uses a much more
efficient binary format. However, the deserialization routines have
been made backwards compatible with the previous format. So dlib can
still deserialize older data but older software won't be able to read
the new format.
- Changed the serialization formats for the matrix and array2d objects so
that either object can be deserialized into the other. This was done in a
way that is backwards compatible with previous versions of dlib. That is,
we can still load data serialized by previous dlib versions. However,
older versions of dlib can't load the new serialization format.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in save_dng() that happened sometimes when saving images with
unsigned char pixels.
- The test_ranking_function() and cross_validate_ranking_trainer() routines
computed incorrect MAP scores when the learned function output a constant
value for all samples. This has been fixed.
Other:
- Gave load_image_dataset() the ability to skip images that don't have any
ground truth boxes.
- Changed average_precision() to use interpolated precision. So now it uses
the same metric as the one used by the Pascal VOC challenge.
- Upgraded the dng image format so it can natively store floating point
pixel types without any information loss.

<old name="18.1" date="Mar 25, 2013">
New Features:
- Added svd_fast(), a routine for computing a singular value decomposition of very
large matrices.
- Added cca(), a routine for doing canonical correlation analysis on very large
and high-dimensional datasets.
- Added tools for creating parallel for loops, see parallel_for().
- Added some features to the image display widgets to let the user easily
get information about where the user is clicking. This is the new
get_next_double_click() routine.
- Added an operator>> for matrix objects which allows you to read in ASCII
matrices using the format used by operator<<.
- Added serialization support for std::vector<bool>.
- Added the following new minor objects and routines: average_precision(),
make_sparse_vector_inplace(), orthogonalize(), count_bits(), draw_surf_points(),
hamming_distance(), cosine_distance, and negative_dot_product_distance.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed ranking evaluation functions to return the mean average precision
in addition to just raw ranking accuracy. This changes their return types
from double to matrix<double,1,2>.
- Generalized segment_image() so it works on any pixel type or array of
vectors. I also changed its interface slightly. In particular, I removed
the min_diff parameter and replaced it with an explicit min_size parameter.
- Changed how the SURF descriptor is computed slightly to improve its
accuracy. The interface to the user has not been changed, however, the
number and position of detected SURF points might be different than in
previous dlib versions.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed an endianness bug in the PNG I/O functions which occurred when 16bit
grayscale PNGs were used.
- Fixed a bug which could potentially occur when empty std::vector<char> or
std::vector<unsigned char> were serialized.
- There was a bug in the version of draw_line() that draws directly onto an
array2d type image (not the one that draws onto a GUI canvas object). The
bug triggered whenever a perfectly horizontal or vertical line that extended
outside the image was drawn. This has been fixed.
- Fixed a bug in the Windows implementation of the signaler object, which
was found by Isaac Peterson. The bug caused the program to deadlock if
signal() or broadcast() was called at exactly the same time a
wait_or_timeout() function timed out.
- Fixed a bug in the image_window and image_display GUI tools which caused
them to not redraw overlay lines correctly in certain cases involving
non-default zoom levels.
- Switched randomly_color_image() to use the non-pointer based version of
murmur_hash3() to avoid violation of the strict aliasing rule. In
particular, the previous version didn't work correctly in gcc 4.7.2 when
optimizations were enabled.
- Visual Studio 2012's iostreams library has a bug which caused the
iosockstream to crash on use. This version of dlib has been changed to
avoid triggering this bug.
Other:
- Refactored the Platt scaling code a little. Now there is a function,
learn_platt_scaling(), that allows you to directly call the Platt scaling
code without supplying a trainer object.
- Optimized the oca and structural SVM solvers. They are now a little bit faster
than in previous dlib releases.

time to something other than the default of 500ms.
- Linear Algebra
- Added the gaussian_randm() function.
- Added the find_affine_transform() function.
- Added the mat() function. It combines the array_to_matrix(), vector_to_matrix(),
pointer_to_column_vector(), and pointer_to_matrix() methods all into one convenient
interface. mat() also works for Armadillo and Eigen matrices.
- Added STL style begin() and end() methods to matrix and matrix_exp.
- Added an overload of sparse_matrix_vector_multiply() that multiplies a dense matrix
with a sparse vector.
- Made toMat() work with the matrix object in addition to array2d style images.
- Graphical User Interface Tools
- Added draw_solid_convex_polygon().
- Added an overload of draw_image() that's useful for drawing images and doing

- Added the on_view_changed() callback to zoomable_region and scrollable_region widgets.
- Added parse_trees_to_string() and parse_trees_to_string_tagged().
- Added lambda function support to the timeout object.
- Added the vectorstream object.
- Added the parse_xml() routines.
- Added a group name feature to the command line parser. Now it is possible to make
print_options() print related options in named groups.
- Added the following new hashing functions: murmur_hash3_128bit_3(),
murmur_hash3_2(), murmur_hash3_3(), uniform_random_hash(), gaussian_random_hash()
as well as hash() overloads for uint32, uint64, and std::pair.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Made the svm_c_linear_trainer use the risk gap to decide when to stop. This was done
because it is how all the other OCA based SVM tools in dlib decide when to stop.
However, it might cause the outputs to be slightly different in this version of dlib.
- It is now illegal to call unlock() on a mutex when the mutex is not owned by the
calling thread. The most likely reason for doing this was to unlock early in an area
locked by an auto_mutex. Old code that does this can be fixed by calling auto_mutex's
unlock() function instead.
- Removed the structural_assignment_trainer::learns_nonnegative_weights() routine
and moved its functionality into the feature extraction interface used by this object.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in find_max_factor_graph_nmplp() which caused it to not work properly on
some compilers.
- Fixed a bug pointed out by Joel Nelson in the version of md5() that took an istream.
The bug caused the function to crash on strings longer than 56 characters.
Other:
- dlib now has an excellent new logo thanks to Yasser Asmi.
- Added a new documentation page for the various linear algebra tools.
- The following objects were turned into single implementation components:
sockstreambuf, timeout, member_function_pointer, xml_parser, linker,
bound_function_pointer, and timer.

- Added rand::get_random_64bit_number().
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the image_dataset_metadata XML reading tools to use a map of strings to points
to represent object parts. This change removes the old head point from a box since
this information can now be represented in the parts map.
- The syntax for passing order_by_distance and order_by_index to std::sort() is now
slightly different since these functions are now templates. However, this change
allows them to work on any kind of sample_pair or ordered_sample_pair object.
- The default distance value of a sample_pair is now initialized to 1 instead of
infinity.
Bug fixes:
- Added a patch, contributed by Martin Müllenhaupt, to fix a minor bug in the SQLite

- Fixed a typo which would prevent code that called running_stats::max_n() from
compiling.
Other:
- Added a new documentation page for the various graph tools in dlib.
- Added support for Visual Studio 2012.
- Switched the sample_pair object to use double to store its distance value instead of

- Changed the server object so you don't have to use the server::kernel_1a syntax to
declare it anymore. Now you just say server, server_iostream, or server_http
depending on which one you want.
- Changed the cmd_line_parser so you don't have to use the ::kernel_1a syntax anymore.
Now it is declared like a normal single implementation object.

- Added overloads of serialize()/deserialize() so that they can serialize
Google protocol buffer objects.
- Image Processing:
- Added find_points_above_thresh()
- Added max_filter()
- Added scan_image_movable_parts()
- Added sum_filter_assign()
- Added the full_object_detection object.
- Added the ability to model objects with movable parts into the
scan_image_pyramid object. This update also includes all the needed tools
to train movable part models using the structural_object_detection_trainer.
- Machine Learning:
- Added a per node loss option to the structural_svm_graph_labeling_problem's
interface.
- Added Emanuele Cesena's implementation of Sammon's nonlinear dimensionality
reduction method.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- To support movable part models, the serialization format of scan_image_pyramid
objects was modified. This breaks backwards compatibility with the previous
format for scan_image_pyramid objects as well as object_detector instances
that use the scan_image_pyramid.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in auto_threshold_image() that caused it to give bad outputs
when used with very large images.
Other:
- Updated find_max_factor_graph_potts() to correctly say you can use infinite
weights for the factor_value_disagreement() values since the code actually
supports this.
- Made integer serialization about 3 times faster.

<old name="17.47" date="Jun 15, 2012">
New Features:
- Improvements to linear algebra tools:
- Added the lowerbound() and upperbound() routines for thresholding dense
matrices.
- Refined the tools for working with sparse vectors. In particular,
the following functions were added: min(), max(), make_sparse_vector(),
add(), and subtract(). A number of existing routines were also updated
to work with both sparse and dense vectors so that templated code which
works on both vector types is simpler to write.
- Added the += and -= operators to the set_subm(), set_rowm(), and set_colm()
tools for operating on submatrices.
- Optimization:
- Added a new quadratic program solver, solve_qp4_using_smo(). This new
solver is useful for solving quadratic programs corresponding to
non-negative constrained primal quadratic programs.
- Added an optional non-negativity constraint to the oca optimizer.
- Added the min_cut object. It provides a method to find the minimum weight
cut on a graph.
- Added tools for finding the maximum probability assignment in a Potts
style Markov random field. See the find_max_factor_graph_potts() routine
for details.
- Machine Learning:
- Added structural SVM tools for learning the parameters of a Potts style
Markov random field. See the structural_graph_labeling_trainer and
graph_labeler objects as well as their associated example program for
details.
- Added the ability to learn only non-negative weights to the
svm_c_linear_trainer.
- Improved Integration with OpenCV:
- Updated the cv_image object so it works with cv::Mat as well as IplImage.
- Added the toMat() routine for converting from a dlib style image to an
OpenCV cv::Mat image.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Removed the dlib::sparse_vector namespace. Everything from this namespace
was moved into the normal dlib:: namespace so that code which works with
both sparse and dense vectors is more cohesive.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in find_max_factor_graph_viterbi() which sometimes occurred when
the model order was larger than the number of variables.
- Fixed a bug which caused a compiler error if you tried to call dot() on two
1x1 matrices which were statically dimensioned.
Other:
- Improved existing documentation: added pictures of the gui widgets,
added documentation of the dlib::bridge protocol, and other minor
usability improvements.

New Features:
- Image Processing:
- Added the option to make the features generated by poly_image rotationally
invariant.
- Added a set of routines for warping, scaling, and resizing images.
See the new "Scaling and Rotating" section of the image processing
documentation for details.
- Added the heatmap() routine for converting an image into a heatmap.
- Machine Learning
- Updated the sequence labeling trainer to allow the user to set different
loss values for different labels.
- Added the rls object. It is an implementation of the linear recursive
least squares algorithm.
- Added the get_option() routines which slightly simplify option parsing
from the command line and config files.
- Added the 128bit version of Murmur hash.
- Added the kalman_filter and rls_filter objects. These are tools for
performing Kalman filtering and recursive least squares filtering.
- Added the circular_buffer object.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- The poly_image generates slightly different features in this new release.
Therefore, classifiers trained using the previous version will need to be
retrained if they are switched to the new version of poly_image.
- Changed the xcorr() functions so they take the complex conjugate of the right
hand arguments if they are complex numbers. This way they do a proper
cross-correlation and also mirror the behavior of MATLAB. However, this
breaks backwards compatibility with the previous behavior of xcorr().
- Previously, dlib included two versions of dlib::array. However, to
simplify the user interface, dlib now includes only the contiguous
memory implementation of dlib::array. This change should only affect
you if you wrote code which assumed dlib::array::set_max_size() only
allocated a small amount of RAM. The new behavior is similar to the
std::vector::reserve() routine. That is, dlib::array::set_max_size()
will allocate the requested amount of memory immediately.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug which caused certain matrix expressions to not compile
when the BLAS bindings were enabled. In particular, expressions which
involved a 1x1 matrix sometimes didn't compile.
Other:
- Made the matrix routines min(), max(), sum() and mean() work with
complex numbers.
- Turned the array object into a single implementation object. Now arrays
can be created using the normal array<type> obj; syntax. Additionally,
all extensions were merged into the array object.
- Added an example program which better documents how to create training
data for the object detection tools as well as how this data can be used.

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the serialization format for rand objects.
- Changed the order of arguments for the sequence_labeler's constructor.
- Object Detection Changes
- Some parts of the object detection tools have been refactored. In particular,
the interfaces of the scan_image_pyramid and structural_object_detection_trainer
have been changed slightly to improve usability.
- Made the test_box_overlap a little more flexible. This change breaks
backwards compatibility with the previous version though.
- The hashed_feature_image object has been made more general. It now
uses a user supplied hashing function rather than its own hashing
implementation.
- Removed constness from the operator() member functions of the
object_detector.
- Fixed improper normalization in the gaussian() functions. The
normalization constant was being computed incorrectly.
- Sequence labeling feature extractors must now define a sequence_type
typedef instead of sample_type. This change allows the user to use any
type of sequence, not just std::vector objects.
Bug fixes:
- Changed the add_probability() method of joint_probability_table so
it does a saturating add rather than a normal add. This ensures the
probability value stays exactly <= 1. Previously, floating point
rounding error could cause it to be slightly above 1 and would therefore
cause some asserts to misfire during debugging mode.
- The object_detector had code in it which limited the number of outputs
to 100 rectangles. This has been removed.
- Fixed improper normalization in the gaussian() functions. The
normalization constant was being computed incorrectly.
Other:
- dlib::rand can now generate Gaussian random numbers.
- The structural_object_detection_trainer will now automatically setup
appropriate non-max suppression parameters if the user doesn't supply them.
- The structural_object_detection_trainer has been optimized and now runs
significantly faster than in previous dlib releases.
- The tools folder containing htmlify, imglab, and mltool is now included

xcorr_same(), xcorr_valid(), and flip().
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed find_max_factor_graph_viterbi() so you can use run-time
defined order and num_states parameters.
Bug fixes:
- The last dlib release added a max_iterations parameter to the
svm_c_linear_trainer and svm_c_ekm_trainer objects. However,
there was a bug which made them only do at most 16 iterations,
which is too few to solve many problems. This has been fixed.

- Fixed a bug in the SQLite binding routine statement::get_column_as_text().
It didn't work correctly if the column contained a NULL.

- Added more tools for creating image pyramids. See pyramid_down_5_4,
pyramid_down_4_3, and pyramid_down_3_2.
- Added more image filtering and morphology functions.
- Added a set of tools for creating sliding window classifiers:
- Added the scan_image() routine. It is a tool for sliding a set of
rectangles over an image space and finding the locations where the sum
of pixels in the rectangles exceeds a threshold. Also added
scan_image_pyramid, which is a tool for running scan_image() over an
image pyramid.
- Added the structural_object_detection_trainer. This is a tool which
formulates the sliding window classifier learning problem as an
instance of structural SVM learning.
- Added a variety of supporting tools and two object detection example
programs.
- Added the following functions for computing statistics on vectors:
mean_sign_agreement(), correlation(), covariance(), r_squared(),
and mean_squared_error()
- Added a C++ wrapper for SQLite (see the new database and statement objects)
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the interface to the ridge regression trainer objects so that they
report the entire set of leave-one-out prediction values rather than a
summary statistic like mean squared error.
- Changed the serialization routine for bgr_pixels to store the pixels in BGR
order rather than RGB.
- Changed the interface for the spatially_filter_image() routine to take the
filter as a matrix rather than C-array. Also, now it won't force signed pixel
values to 0 if they go negative.
- Changed the test_regression_function() and cross_validate_regression_trainer()
routines so they return both the MSE and R-squared values rather than just the
MSE.
- Changed suppress_non_maximum_edges() to use the L2 norm instead of L1 norm
for measuring the strength of an edge since this produces a slightly better
result.
Bug fixes:
- The image_display didn't display overlay rectangles quite right. If you zoomed
in you could see that some of the pixels which are inside the rectangle were
outside the overlay. Specifically, the right column and bottom row was outside
the overlay rectangle. This has been fixed. Now all pixels which are supposed
to be part of a rectangle are drawn as being inside the overlay rectangle.
- Fixed a bug pointed out by Martin Müllenhaupt which caused the windows socket
code to not compile when used with the mingw-cross-env project.
- Fixed a bug in the png_loader. If you loaded an image with an alpha channel
into something without an alpha channel there were uninitialized values being
alpha blended into the image.
- Fixed a bug in the cpp_tokenizer that only shows up on newer versions of gcc.
It wasn't tokenizing double quoted strings right.
- Fixed a bug in spatially_filter_image() which showed up when using non-square
filters. The bug would cause the edges of the output image to be incorrect.
- Fixed a bug in the matrix class. Expressions of the form mat *= mat(0) would
evaluate incorrectly because the *= operator took the right hand side by reference
and thus experienced an aliasing problem. The other op= operators had similar
problems and have also been fixed.
- Fixed a bug pointed out by Justin Solomon which could cause the svr_trainer and
svm_c_trainer to produce incorrect results in certain unusual cases.
Other:
- Added a more complete set of methods for converting between image space and
the downsampled hog grid used by hog_image. Now you can convert from image
to hog in addition to hog to image.
- Made the integral_image more general by making it templated on the type of
scalar used to store the sums.

Bug fixes:
- Setup proper error handling for libpng in the png_loader. Now if the PNG
file is corrupted in the middle it won't just print a message and abort
the program.
- Fixed a bug in assign_pixel_intensity() that happened when the target pixel
was an RGB pixel with an alpha channel.

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the oca_problem interface to the oca optimizer. Now the
optimization_status() function reports back the current risk and risk gap
in addition to the overall objective value and objective gap.
- Changed the stopping condition for the structured svm to the one suggested
by the Joachims paper. Now it stops when the risk gap is below a user
supplied epsilon.
Bug fixes:
Other:
- Various usability improvements.
- Improved the feature vector caching in the structural_svm_problem object.
- Some objects were setup as multi-implementation objects but only had one
implementation. I went through dlib and switched these to single implementation
objects. So for example, to use the dlib crc32 module you used to declare an
object of type "crc32::kernel_1a" but now you can just say "crc32". Note that
I did this change in a way that maintains backwards compatibility with previous
versions. So crc32::kernel_1a is still allowed but that form is officially
deprecated. The modified objects are as follows:
- base64
- byte_orderer
- config_reader
- crc32
- pipe
- rand

<old name="17.37" date="Mar 24, 2011">
New Features:

- Added a tool for solving the optimization problem associated with

- Added new functions for dealing with sparse vectors: add_to(),
subtract_from(), max_index_plus_one(), fix_nonzero_indexing(), a
more flexible dot(), and I renamed assign_dense_to_sparse() to assign()
and made it more flexible.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Renamed max_index_value_plus_one() (a function for working with graphs) to
max_index_plus_one() so that it uses the same name as the essentially
identical function for working with sparse vectors.
- I simplified the cross_validate_multiclass_trainer(), cross_validate_trainer(),
test_binary_decision_function(), and test_multiclass_decision_function()
routines. They now always return double matrices regardless of any other
consideration. This only breaks previous code if you had been assigning
the result into a float or long double matrix.
- Renamed assign_dense_to_sparse() to assign()
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in load_libsvm_formatted_data(). I had forgotten to clear the
contents of the labels output vector before adding the loaded label data.
- Fixed a bug in the kernel_matrix() function. It didn't compile when used
with sparse samples which were of type std::vector<std::pair<> >.
Moreover, some of the trainers have a dependency on kernel_matrix() so this
fix makes those trainers also work with this kind of sparse sample.

- Added the approximate_distance_function() routine. It is the core optimizer
behind the reduced2() trainer adapter.
- Added an any_function which supports the same functionality as std::function
from the upcoming C++0x standard. I added this so dlib can be modified to
easily support lambda functions while still being compilable with compilers
which don't support the new std::function.
- Added overloads of all the GUI event handlers so you can use general functions
as callbacks (via any_function). This way, if you have a C++0x compiler, you
can use lambda functions with the event handlers.
- Added the split() function for splitting up strings.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Improved the distance_function object by turning it into a properly
encapsulated class rather than just a simple struct. I also added
overloaded +, -, *, and / operators for this object so you can do the
kind of arithmetic you would expect on an object which represents a
point in a vector space. This breaks backwards compatibility with
the previous interface though as the member variables are now private.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a compile-time error in the kernel_matrix().

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- invalid_svm_nu_error has been renamed to invalid_nu_error.
- Changed the pixel_traits so that signed grayscale pixel types are allowed.
This involved adding a few new fields to pixel_traits. I also changed the
get_pixel_intensity() function so that its return value is of the same type
as the basic pixel type rather than always being unsigned long.
- Removed the kernel_type typedef from the normalized function since this
meta-object should be capable of working with non-kernel decision functions.
- train_probabilistic_decision_function() no longer accepts column vectors of
samples and labels. Now it only accepts std::vectors of samples and labels.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the deserialization code for the sparse kernels. The bug
prevented code which used the deserialize() routine from compiling.
Other:
- Changed the image display GUI widgets to use the assign_image_scaled()
function internally. Now they will accept just about any image and
do the right thing.
- Modified the type_safe_union so that you can call apply_to_contents() on const
type_safe_unions.
- Added serialization support for std::pair objects.
- Made the train_probabilistic_decision_function() more general by making it work
with any kind of trainer object rather than only ones which produce
dlib::decision_function objects. I also made it work with trainers that only
take std::vectors.

- Changed the linear_manifold_regularizer to normalize the regularization
parameter by the sum of edge weights instead of the sum of edges.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the timer_kernel_2 object. In certain rare cases it would
stop calling the action function and essentially shut down without being

New Features:
- Added the svm_c_ekm_trainer. It is a kernelized version of the fast
linear trainer svm_c_linear_trainer.
- Added the linear_manifold_regularizer and some supporting tools.
- Added the sum_rows(), sum_cols(), join_rows(), join_cols(), reshape(),
and pointer_to_matrix() functions.
- Added the randomly_subsample() function.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
Bug fixes:
- Fixed some minor compile time bugs on certain older compilers.
Other:
- Updated the += and -= matrix operators to be a little more flexible. Now
if you try to apply them to a matrix of the wrong size it will automatically
resize the target matrix and just do a normal assignment.
- Removed the requirement that you load dng files into an image of the exact
pixel type that created the file. Now you can use any pixel type. I also
changed the code so that grayscale pixels with more than 16 bits get saved as
16 bit grayscale images instead of 8 bit images.

- Added a simple tool for making image pyramids
- Added the running_covariance object
- Added a simple linear (i.e. non-kernelized) kmeans implementation
- Added support for serializing dlib::int64
- Added some functions to load and save LIBSVM formatted data files.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the definition of dlib's sparse vector format to require
unsigned integral keys. Having this requirement is nice because it
creates a simple correspondence between dense vector index values and
sparse vector keys. The previous sparse vector definition was
excessively generic.
- Renamed sparse_vector::dot_product() to sparse_vector::dot() so that
both dense and sparse vectors have a global function with the same
name (i.e. dot()).
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug discovered by Mitchell Peabody. In some instances trying to
deserialize a std::vector would fail to compile.
Other:
- Increased the number of template arguments of the type_safe_union from 10
to 20. Additionally, I made the get_id() function public and renamed it

the representations used by different empirical_kernel_maps. Also added
the ability to compute projection error.
- Added the random_subset_selector object.
- Added the compute_mean_squared_distance() function.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Modified the logger's hook implementation so that it uses a special stream
buffer instead of an std::ostringstream. This way logging doesn't cause
memory allocations. This breaks backwards compatibility with the previous
hook function API but only slightly. The new hook functions must take a
const char* instead of std::string.
- Added the const_ret_type typedef to the matrix_exp. It is now required that
all matrix expressions define this type. This enables the expressions to
return elements by constant reference when appropriate rather than always
returning by value.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the matrix BLAS bindings that caused BLAS to return an invalid
argument error. The error occurred when general matrix multiply expressions
were transposed and didn't result in a square matrix. E.g. mat = trans(a*b)
where mat isn't square.
- Fixed potential compile time bugs in the comparison operators for futures.
- Added a missing check for division by zero in the SURF feature extractor.
- Modified the find_min_single_variable() function so that it is more
robust when working with functions that are made up of a bunch of
constant value strips. Previously, these kinds of functions could
cause the optimization to fail.
Other:
- Changed the regression test suite so that when it sets the logging level
it now sets it for all loggers. Not just ones that start with "test."

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Renamed the support_vectors member of the decision_function and
distance_function classes to basis_vectors. This name more appropriately
reflects how these two classes are used within the library.
- Changed the matrix_exp interface slightly. This could only impact users
who created their own custom matrix expressions. If you don't get a
compiler error then you don't have to worry about it.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a minor error in the LBFGS code.
- Added a missing check for division by zero to the kcentroid, krls,
and linearly_independent_subset_finder classes. If someone added
the zero vector to them as the first training example a division by zero
could result.
- There were a few cases where the code wouldn't compile when using
matrices of complex numbers. There was also a runtime bug that triggered
when a rank 1 update was performed where one of the vectors was conjugated
and two or more transposes were used in certain positions. This bug
caused the wrong output to be computed if the BLAS bindings were used.
Both of these bugs have been fixed.
- Fixed a bug in the http server that affected cookies with certain kinds of
data. The result was invalid data being sent back to the web browser.

for use with unbalanced data.
- Added the reciprocal_max() and dot() matrix functions.
- Added the bgr_pixel and cv_image objects so that OpenCV images can
be easily used with dlib routines.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- I changed the batch trainers so that they always call clear() on the
trainer being used before training begins.
- Modified the svm_pegasos class so that the user can set independent lambda
parameters for each class. This breaks backwards compatibility with
the previous interface slightly and changes the serialization format
of this class.
- Split the vector_normalizer into a normal normalizer and a pca normalizer
version.
- The zoomable_region widget now uses exponential rather than linear
zoom scaling since this is much more pleasing to use. There is now
a new requirement on the zoom increment that it must be between 0
and 1.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the cross_validate_trainer_threaded() function. It could
deadlock if more than about 10 folds were requested.
- Fixed the serialization functions for the normalized_function object.
They will now work with custom normalizer function objects.
- Fixed a minor bug in the zoomable_region::set_min_zoom_scale() function.
It didn't always end up zooming in a smooth sensible manner after this

output logging destination (in addition to the std::ostream supported
already).
- Upgraded the scoped_ptr so that it can handle array pointers as well
as customer deleter functions.
- Added overloads of the kernel_derivative object for all the kernels
in dlib.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Reworked the config_reader interface a little to make it easier to use.
In particular, I removed the enumerator over blocks in favor of a simple
get_blocks() function that just returns a std::vector of all the blocks.
I also removed the requires clauses on the block and key accessor functions
and instead made a request for a non-existent key/block result in a non-fatal
exception. This way users can let the config reader perform a more natural
role in config file validation (by catching this exception and acting
accordingly).
- It is now illegal to multiply matrices of size zero together.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed the gaussian() function used by the SURF code. It wasn't computing
a properly weighted Gaussian function.
- Fixed a few things in various parts of the code to avoid compiler errors
in certain use-cases.

thrown by event handlers rather than letting them propagate out as
documented in the specification.

trainer adapter classes since they really aren't needed.
Bug fixes:
- Changed the socket read/write code so that it can handle a large
number ( > 2 billion) of bytes in I/O calls.
- Added a missing type cast to the reciprocal() function to fix a compile
time error you get when you use it with complex<float> type matrices.
- Fixed a bug in the assign_border_pixels() and zero_border_pixels() functions.
Their contracts said there was no upper limit on the size of the border that
could be assigned/zeroed but the implementations failed to handle the case
where the border was bigger than the image.

Other:
- A lot of the matrix code has been refactored and optimized. The matrix

better performance. I also added a simple system for binding
arbitrary matrix expressions to optimized BLAS routines.
- Cleaned up the vector and point classes. Now there is only one class,
the vector class, and it is capable of representing everything the old

the new toggle_button object. This is a nearly backwards compatible
change except that the events registered to check_box and radio_button
clicks must now take the form void event(toggle_button&) or
void event(void) instead of the previous void event(check_box&) and
void event(radio_button&).
- Removed the is_mouse_over bool from the button_style::draw_button()
function.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a compiler error in mingw.
- Changed the preprocessor checks for the wchar_t overload of
is_built_in_scalar_type so that it works properly with visual studio.

- Added a Bayesian Network GUI that allows you to create a network
and serialize it to disk.

- Bayesian Network Related
- Added the node_first_parent_assignment(), node_next_parent_assignment(),

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Reverted the change in 17.0 where I made drawable::lastx and
drawable::lasty not match the current location of the mouse inside
the on_mouse_move() event. I changed this back to how it was before,
so now lastx and lasty represent the most current record of where
the mouse is in *all* events.
- Changed the functions that control text color in the label and text_field
widgets to use rgb_pixel objects. Also added a function to set the
background color of a text_field.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the bayesian_network_join_tree object that caused it to
compute incorrect results for some networks.
- GUI Related
- Fixed a minor bug in the cursor drawing of the text_field
gui widget.
- Fixed a bug in the compute_cursor_rect() function. It would return an
incorrectly positioned rectangle for 0 length strings.
- Changed the way wchar_t is handled in the serialize.h file. Now
everything should compile correctly in visual studio regardless of how
you set the /Zc:wchar_t compiler option.
- Fixed a bug in the menu_bar widget. One of the members wasn't being
initialized when it needed to be.
- Fixed a bug in the tabbed_display where it didn't redraw itself
correctly after it was moved by set_pos()

button_action inherit from it.
- Added the drawable::next_free_user_event_number() function
- matrix and geometry:
- Added a size() function to matrix_exp and matrix_ref objects.

- squared(), cubed(), get_rect(), a subm() function that takes
rectangles, and normalize()
- Added the following rectangle functions:
- area(), centered_rect(), translate_rect(), move_rect(), resize_rect(),
resize_rect_height(), resize_rect_width(), and nearest_point()
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Renamed atom() to array_to_matrix()
- Moved the rectangle object from the gui_core into a new geometry folder
(only matters if you were directly including the rectangle file)
- Moved the vector object into the geometry folder. Also removed the kernel_1a
stuff. So there is now only one possible vector implementation.
- Changed the default position for a rectangle to (0,0) instead of (1,1)
- Added edge data to the directed_graph. This breaks backwards compatibility
with the previous serialization format for directed_graphs.
- GUI related:
- Changed the base_window::on_keydown event signature so that it now
reports more keyboard modifier keys (e.g. alt)
- Made the functions for drawing on canvas objects take points and pixels
instead of just a bunch of integers. Also changed the order of the
arguments so that the canvas comes first, followed by the location
to draw on, then what to draw.
- Moved the canvas drawing functions into the gui_widgets/canvas_drawing.h
file.
- Modified the drawable_window so that the drawable::lastx and drawable::lasty
fields are updated after calls to on_mouse_move. This way the x and y that
go into the on_mouse_move actually tell you something.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the floating point serialization code. It
didn't handle NaN or infinities correctly.
- Fixed a bug in the win32 version of the gui_core component. It was
possible that calling set_size(), set_pos(), or set_title() could cause
the program to deadlock.
- Made the load_bmp() function more robust in the face of weirdly
written BMP files.
- Modified the draw_circle() and draw_solid_circle() functions so that they
only touch each canvas pixel once. This avoids messing up alpha blending
if an rgb_alpha_pixel is used.

Now it can take proper function objects as well as normal function

- Added the probabilistic_decision_function object and svm_nu_train_prob()

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the svm train functions so that the cache_size argument
now measures the max number of megabytes of memory to use rather
than number of kernel matrix rows to cache. It's default
value is now 200MB.
- changed the type typedef in the SVM kernel function objects to
be named sample_type instead of type.
Bug fixes:

didn't return empty strings when the input string contained all
trim characters.
- Fixed a bug in the decision_function's copy constructor
Other:
- Added an optimization to the working set selection for the svm training code.

New Features:
- Added memory manager support to the matrix object.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Made the assign_pixel() function saturate grayscale values bigger
than the target pixel type can handle. Previously it would just
truncate the numbers.
- Removed rand_kernel_1 and rand_kernel_2 because they gave very
inferior results compared to rand_kernel_3. I then renamed
rand_kernel_3 to rand_kernel_1.
- Renamed rand::get_random_number() to get_random_8bit_number() and also
added a get_random_16bit_number() and get_random_32bit_number()
- Added a checksum to compress_stream_kernel_1 and kernel_2. This
breaks backwards compatibility with the previous versions. That is,
the new implementations will complain that decompression fails if
you give them data compressed with the old non-checksum version of
the compression routines.
- Removed the width() and height() functions from the array2d object.
Now only the equivalent nc() and nr() member functions remain.
- Changed array2d::set_size(width,height) to set_size(num_rows, num_cols).
That is, I switched the order of the two arguments to this function.
The reason for doing this is to make it have the same form as the
set_size() member of the matrix object. This way the usage of the
set_size() member for these two very similar data structures is
the same. Hopefully this will reduce confusion rather than
make things worse.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the image_widget. It didn't repaint the screen
all the way if you gave it a smaller image to display.
- Fixed a bug in the cat() function that caused the state of the queue
to be broken if you called cat with an empty queue.
- Made the queue_sort_1 use a better sorting algorithm. In particular, it
will not sort slowly for nearly sorted data.
- Fixed a bug in the queue_kernel_2 object that caused it to not work
correctly with the non-default memory managers.
Other:
- Added example code for the member_function_pointer as well as the matrix
object.
- Added some more regression tests and made some of the longer running
ones execute a lot quicker.

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- The dlib/all_console.cpp and dlib/all_gui.cpp files have been deprecated
in favor of a new file. Now to build with dlib you simply add
dlib/all/source.cpp to your project regardless of what type of project

image that has an alpha channel. The same goes for draw_image().
- There are now more fields in the pixel_traits template. So if you were

to crash when compiled with -O3.
- Fixed a potential bug in the X Windows version of the gui_core component.
Added an extra XFlush() to end_program() because without it a
program can crash when calling end_program() in certain instances.
- The spec for the pipe object said that objects you enqueue into it
had an "initial value for their type" after the function completes. This
is incorrect, they are swapped into the pipe so they have an undefined
value afterwards. I fixed the spec for the pipe to say this.
- Fixed a bug in the font rendering functions in the gui_widgets
component. It could cause a segmentation fault sometimes.
- Fixed some potential deadlocks in the windows version of the gui_core
component.
- Fixed a bug in the rsignaler object. When you called wait() or
wait_or_timeout() it only unlocked the associated rmutex once (it could be
locked more than once and thus might cause a deadlock since the thread
calling wait() wouldn't actually unlock the mutex in this case).
- Fixed the initialize_array() function in memory_manger_kernel_3 to be
exception safe. Previously if an exception occurred while creating
an array then a resource leak was created.
Other:
- Changed the package format for the library somewhat. The examples are now
located in their own top level folder. Additionally, the HTML version of the
documentation also comes in the same archive as the source rather than in a
separate download.
- Started using major and minor version numbers rather than just major ones.

<old name="14" date="Apr 11, 2007">
New Features:
- Added operator<< and operator>> iostream operators to the vector object.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the xml_parser's document_handler interface:
made empty element tags (<like_this/>) trigger the end_element() callback
and removed the is_empty bool from start_element().
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a potential race condition between the destruction of the thread pool
and the "program ending handlers" stuff.
Other:
- Made the xml parser more robust to different types of new line characters.
- Modified the source slightly so that it works with mingw.

New Features:
- The config_reader is now enumerable.
- Added the image_widget gui object.
- Added nr() and nc() to the array2d object.
- Added the shutdown_connection() function to the iostream extension
to the server object.
- Added the timer_kernel_2 implementation which is a version of the timer object
that is more efficient in its allocation of threads.
- Added the timeout object.
- There is now a CMakeLists.txt file located in the dlib folder. See
dlib/examples/CMakeLists.txt and dlib/test/CMakeLists.txt for examples
that use CMake to build projects using this library.
- Added the register_program_ending_handler() function to the threading API.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Removed the config_reader::get_blocks() function. Use the
new enumerable interface for the config_reader instead.
- The array2d object now uses longs instead of unsigned longs to report
its dimensions and access its elements.
- Added a uint64 to the on_connect() callback in the iostream
extension to the server object.
- timer::set_delay_time() now throws and timer::start() now may throw
std::bad_alloc.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in end_program(). In X Windows it might not cause the
program to end right away if it was called from outside the event
handling thread.
- Fixed a bug in the implementation of the timeout part of the
close_gracefully() function.
Other:
- The library now works on HP-UX
- The regression test suite now has command line arguments that
enable tests to send debug messages to a file.

New Features:
- The http server extension now supports the POST HTTP method.
- The attribute list object in the xml_parser is now enumerable.
- Added the threaded object extension
- Added the uintn.h file which defines fixed sized unsigned integral types.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Renamed the on_get() callback in the http extension to the server object to
on_request()
- Removed the network byte order functions from the sockets api. (They are still
really there though since they come from actual OS header files. But
officially they have been replaced by the byte_orderer component).
- Renamed dlib/uint64.h to dlib/uintn.h
Bug fixes:
Other:
- The command line parser will now let you declare long named options with -
characters in them.
- Made it so you can use the COMPILE_TIME_ASSERT macros anywhere rather than
just inside functions.

<old name="10" date="Nov 28, 2006">
New Features:
- std::map is now serializable
- Added the matrix object and a bunch of supporting code.
- Added the list_box graphical widget
- Added the fill_rect_with_vertical_gradient() function to the
drawable interfaces list of drawing helpers.
- Added the open_file_box() function which provides a simple file chooser.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
Bug fixes:
- Made timestamper::get_timestamp() be a const function like it should. Fixes
some compile errors.
- Fixed a bug in the font::draw_string() function. It didn't redraw
multi-line strings right.
- Fixed a bug in the scroll_bar object that would cause a compile

<old name="9" date="Oct 23, 2006">
New Features:
- Added the following image transformation functions:
- Added the equalize_histogram() function
- Added the spatially_filter_image() function
- Added the threshold_image() function
- Added the binary_dilation() function
- Added the binary_erosion() function
- Added the binary_open() function
- Added the binary_close() function
- Added the binary_intersection() function
- Added the binary_difference() function
- Added the binary_complement() function
- Added the clear(), load_from() and default constructor back into the
config_reader.
- Made the member_function_pointer copyable and also added operator== and !=
to it.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Made the vector object templated so you can use types other than double with it.
But now you
have to specify what type you want to use which is slightly different.
- The asc_pair_remover and asc_remover abstract classes now take a third template
argument. I highly doubt this effects any code outside the library but it is
possible.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the base_window::set_size() function. If you specified a size
of (0,0) it caused your program to error out. This has now been fixed.
- Fixed a bug in the scroll_bar widget.
- Fixed a bug in save_bmp(). For some image sizes it would output a goofy
looking skewed image.
Other:
- Switched everything that used to call operator< directly to instead use
std::less or to take a template argument that provides a compare functor that
defaults to std::less.
</old>
<!-- ******************************************************************************* -->
<old name="8" date="Oct 03, 2006">
New Features:
- Added the assign_pixel() function
- Added the hsi pixel type
- Added the save_bmp() function
- Added the static_switch template
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed how the config_reader works. It now has a more powerful syntax and
improved interface. Converting any old code to use the new version should be
simple since the new file syntax is very nearly backwards compatible with the
old syntax. (i.e. You probably won't have to change anything about your
config files)
- Renamed the dlib/image_loader.h file to dlib/image_io.h since it now includes
the image saver stuff.
- Renamed the pixel struct to rgb_pixel
- Renamed pixel_traits::color to pixel_traits::rgb
- Renamed pixel_traits::scalar to pixel_traits::grayscale
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the load_bmp() function. It would load 24bit bmp files
incorrectly.
- Changed the logger so that it won't deadlock if you write something similar to
my_log << LINFO << function_that_also_logs();. Although this is a
dumb thing to do. But even so, it shouldn't deadlock.
- Fixed a potential linking problem with the vector object.
Other:
- I decided I'm not going to support Borland v5.5.1 anymore. There are just too
many bugs in this compiler. It is very old at this point so I don't see this
being a big deal.
- Made the drawable::draw_image() and load_bmp() functions able to handle images
of any type of pixel.
- Pulled the imaging, algorithmic and metaprogramming stuff out of the
miscellaneous section of the web page and gave them all their own sections.

<!-- ******************************************************************************* -->
<old name="7" date="Sep 18, 2006">
New Features:
- Added a logger header that prints the date and time.
- Added the LTRACE logging level
- Added a buffered implementation of sockstreambuf.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the specs to say that sockstreambuf may be buffered.
sockstreambuf_kernel_1 is still just as it always has been though. So all old
code will still work just as it always has. But all the same, the specs have
been changed and now allow for an implementation that is not 100% backwards
compatible.
- rand_kernel_2 now emits a different string of random numbers.
Bug fixes:
- Changed the logger object's implementation to not try to register
a thread end handler for the main program thread anymore. This was
technically a bug according to the spec but it actually did end up
working the way it was supposed to. But even so, it shouldn't have
been doing that.
- Changed binary_search_tree_kernel_1 so that it avoids a bug in the version of
gcc on SuSE Enterprise Linux 9.
- Fixed a bug in the rand_kernel_2 implementation. It wasn't giving good
random numbers.
Other:
- Modified the code so that you don't get any warnings when -Wall is used with
GCC.

<old name="5" date="Aug 18, 2006">
New Features:
- Added the memory_manager_stateless object and two implementations of it.
- Added the MACOSX macro to dlib/platform.h
- Added a templated version of create_new_thread() that allow you to start
a thread with a member function.
- Added the register_thread_end_handler() function to the threading kernel API.
- Added memory_manager_kernel_3
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the meaning of the memory_manager_global::get_number_of_allocations()
function because the previous definition of it didn't really make sense for
this object.
- Changed the threading API to wait for all outstanding threads to terminate
before allowing the program to end. It used to just let the OS trash those
threads when main() ended but this isn't a safe or portable thing to do. I
used to assume the user would make sure all their threads were done and had
cleaned up whatever they were doing before main() ended but this is too much
of a burden on the end user. So now the library will wait for your threads to
end. You still need to have some way of telling them it is time to stop though.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a minor bug in dlib/timer/timer_kernel_1.h. Its implementation was
slightly off according to the specification of a timer object.
Other:
- The byte_order object is now capable of flipping entire arrays.
- Made it so that the ENABLE_ASSERTS macro is defined whenever ASSERT is
on.
- Made the array container use the memory managers.
</old>
<!-- ******************************************************************************* -->
<old name="4" date="Jul 18, 2006">
New Features:
- Added functions to explicitly convert to/from little and big endian to the
byte_order object.
- Added the allocate_array() and deallocate_array() functions to the
memory_manager.
- Created the memory_manager_global object
- Added the remove_last_in_order(), position_enumerator() and
remove_current_element() functions to the binary_search_tree object.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- I put an #error directive in the old GUI component to notify anyone
trying to use it that it is deprecated. I will be removing it from the
library in a few months.
- Switched the reference_counter object back to not using the memory_manager.
I realized it isn't safe for this object to use the memory_manager since
it could result in memory_managers freeing each other's allocations.
- I redefined the pixel_traits template. It is now a lot simpler and more
convenient.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a minor bug in dlib/rand/rand_kernel_2.cpp
Other:
- Added some more compile time checks to the byte_orderer object.
- Changed some includes and preprocessor macros around a little so now
everything but the GUI stuff compiles in mac OS X.
- Added inclusion guards to all the .cpp files
- Added the all_gui.cpp and all_console.cpp files. They
include all the .cpp files you need to make gui and
console applications respectively into one file.
- Made more containers use the memory_manager.

<old name="3" date="May 06, 2006">
New Features:
- Added the enqueue_or_timeout() and dequeue_or_timeout() functions
to the pipe object.
- Gave the mouse_tracker the ability to display the mouse position
relative to a user selected point.
- Added the message_box() function to the gui_widgets component.
- Gave the label widget the ability to draw newlines in strings.
- added the close_window() and is_closed() methods to the base_window
object.
- Added the rsignaler extension to the threading API.
- You can now control the thread pool timeout time by setting the
DLIB_THREAD_POOL_TIMEOUT #define.
- Added the get_from_clipboard() and put_on_clipboard() functions
to the gui_core component.
- Added the stop_and_wait() function to the timer object.
- Added the trigger_user_event() function and on_user_event() event
to the base_window object. This new event is also forwarded
to drawable interfaces inside the receiving window.
- Added the wrap_around() function to the named_rectangle widget.
- Added the top(), left(), right(), bottom(), width() and height()
functions to the drawable interface.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Made the radio_button and check_box widgets pass references to themselves
when they call their click handlers.
- Switched the sync_extension to use the rmutex and rsignaler objects
rather than the normal non-reentrant ones. ( Chances are that old
code that used this will still compile fine anyway. )
- Changed the return type of rand::get_random_number() to be an
unsigned char. I also changed both the implementations of
rand because they weren't very good at all.
- Changed the functions related to drawing strings in the font class.
- Changed the drawable's rectangle to default to being empty
rather than being a single point. Most code should not notice
the difference.
Bug fixes:
- The event handlers in gui_widgets/drawable.h were private. They
should be protected. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a bug in the way the scroll_bar was drawn when it was
the HORIZONTAL type.
- Changed how the thread pool destructs itself when the program
is ending. Previously it was possible to get an error on
NetBSD when the program was ending. This is now fixed.
- The functions related to setting the jump size in the scroll_bar
widget were private. They are now public.
- There was a bug in the MS Windows version of the gui_core component
where the members of the base_window would not work if called from
within the on_window_close() event. This has now been fixed.
- Made the set_pos() function work right for the mouse_tracker widget.
- Fixed a bug in the base64 object where the string "" could potentially
be decoded incorrectly.
- Made the global swap function for crc32_kernel_1 inline. This fixes a
potential linker error.
- Fixed some potential deadlocking that could occur while using the
gui widgets.
Other:
- I moved all the regression tests into the dlib/test folder and
made a nice driver program to run all of them.
- I have been using the sourceforge compile farms to test the library
on various platforms. It now works for Solaris and some of the BSDs
in addition to Linux and Windows.

- Added the array_expand extension to the array object.
- Added the cmd_line_parser_check extension to the command line parser.
- Added the pipe object.
- All applicable container classes now use the memory_manager component for
their memory allocation.
- New implementations of the memory_manager object.
- Added the copy_functor class.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Moved the wrap_string, narrow, and string_cast functions
to a new file. You now have to include dlib/string.h to get
them. (This makes a bunch of other things work right in gcc 2.95)
- Renamed the _L macro to _dT
- Removed the scopy class
- Simplified the interface to the memory manager. It is basically the same
though.
- Removed the max_size() methods from the hash_table and binary_search_tree
objects.
- Removed the T_is_POD template arguments from the hash_table and
binary_search_tree objects.
- Simplified the template arguments to all checking components and extensions.
They now take the class they are to extend or check as their only template
argument. This only affects you if you haven't been using the kernel_nx
typedefs.
Bug fixes:
Other:
- I changed a few things around and now a majority of the library
again compiles under gcc 2.95. But some things don't and I currently
don't plan on making them work because it involves hackish workarounds
of 2.95's bugs.
- Changed the compress_stream_kernel_1 object so that it will detect data
corruptions better. This change will prevent it from correctly decompressing
data that was compressed with a previous version and has an uncompressed size
greater than about 20,000 bytes.
- There is a new cpp file you need to compile: dlib/error.cpp
- Moved all the regression testing stuff into the dlib/test folder and made
a nicer test driver to run them.

Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- The ASSERT macro is now only enabled if DEBUG or ENABLE_ASSERTS
is defined.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a minor bug in the cmd_line_parser object. If you gave
an option such as --option=arg when option didn't take any
arguments it could hang your program.
- Fixed a bug in wait_or_timeout() in the posix version of the threading
api. The time to wait for was being calculated incorrectly and could
result in an excessive number of spurious returns.
- Fixed a minor bug in the on_keydown() event for windows.
I had it set such that the shift and ctrl bools would be false
if they were the actual keys being pressed. This isn't what the
specs say should happen but I had a comment in the windows code
that made it clear that I did it on purpose. Go figure :)
This is now fixed.
Other:
- Improved the cpp_tokenizer object's ability to recognize numerical
constants.
- Improved the text_field gui widget.
