Version 0.2.1 was released. This fixes the remaining bugs from 0.2 and adds some speed optimizations. 0.2.1 is now the last stable version of RIOT.

Version 0.1.15 corrects several bugs from earlier versions. Branch 0.1 is the stable branch and it is not accepting new features from quite a while now. Every branch of RIOT will have a rock-stable version you can use without errors in your work. As I cannot guarantee it is free from defects, in time all [...]
A bug has been found in the plugin version of RIOT that affects JPEG compress to size. This has been fixed in version 0.1.13 and will be fixed for 0.2.x in the next version.

Changelog: v.0.1.11 (stable candidate #8) – bugfix: plugin – IrfanView sends a filename even if file does not exist (like Clipboard01). This resulted in an “Error opening file”. Added FileExists check into RIOT to overcome this problem. Fixed ! – bugfix: Paste [...]

Color quantization now does [...]
I received many questions regarding the difference between the Lite and the Extended version. I hope this article can clear things out. RIOT is a project aimed to create a FREE tool for image optimization (especially for web, but not only of that). If you get bored to read this long story you can skip [...]

This version fixes loading problems with uncommon image types like 64 bit PNGs and others and provides some fixes regarding transparency handling. Still no support [...]
