- libgwyapp: Data browser notebook switching bug was fixed; it caused the
  wrong data being selected and even functions being run on the wrong data.
- libgwyapp: New widget showing a list of module functions of a specific kind.
- libgwyapp: Facilities for remembering function usage history.
- libgwyapp: Data window Recent menus are initially populated with globally
  most used/most recently used functions, which are then replaced by functions

  configuration separately (except in Wayland. which is broken).

Modules:
- Chains (new): Generates images by forming chains of discs.
- XYZ crops as series (new): Sort of resurrection of the old XYZ module, which
  crops the data by raw index, instead of any value.
- Image processing modules: Module directory was renamed from ‘process’ to
  ‘image’. Installation to a fresh directory is recommended to avoid mix-ups
  and duplicates.
- Mask-combining modules: Again offer union, intersection and possibly
  subtraction as merging modes, instead of bunch of empty buttons.
- Mark with: A number of crashes were fixed.

  GwySurface (XYZ) for data irregular in XY plane.
- libgwyapp: Missing support for single-point spectra as first-class objects
  was added to a few places.
- libgwyapp: When a file is locked by another program in MS Windows, the error
  should no longer be the misleading ‘no module can open this file type’.
- libgwyapp: GwyParamTable functions for replacement and refreshing models for
  curve selectrors were added.
- libgwyapp: Window position restoration should work better with multi-monitor
  setups (in reasonable graphical environments).
- libgwyapp: New functions for obtaining the default values GwyParams
  parameters.
- libgwyapp: Volume, curve map and XYZ data preview settings are stored in
  GWY files.

Modules:

  of data to form multi-value XYZ data and sorting points by a data value.
- XYZ Relate (new): Plots coordinates and values in XYZ data as function of
  other coordinates or values.
- Curve map Rename (new): Simple renaming of curves in a curve map.

  correctly now.
- XYZ Rasterise: New fast Average–Laplace blend interpolation mode.
- XYZ: Missing module operation logging was added.

  data with shared XY as a single multi-channel data item.


3.9 (2026-04-06)
Application:
- Merging: Option --convert-to-gwy works again and was extended to enable
  specifying the target GWY format version (3 or 2).

Libraries:

  now provided by a single function and distinguished by an enum.
- libgwyddion: Several GwyDict functions which were emitting signals even when
  still in construction were corrected.

  argument as methods (not the last argument).
- libgwyapp: gwy_file_merge() and File → Merge works again.
- libgwyapp: Various GwyFile bugs were fixed, including the one causing
  duplication of items in the data browser.
- libgwyapp: GwyFile now does a reasonably good job at discarding anything
  invalid upon construction.
- libgwyapp: Separate file validation functions were removed as GwyFile does
  not accept invalid content.
- libgwyapp: Single point spectra behave a bit more like normal data, they can
  be opened standalone without image data and shown in a graph-like window
  (still somewhat rough).

Modules:
- HDF5: Partial import support for FEI/ThermoFisher Velox EMD HDF5 files
  was added.
- HDF5: GXSM4 metadata import is much more indiscriminate and should import
  everything useful at the expense of possibly including something useless.
- PSIA: Grid spectra are now imported (as curve maps). Single-point
  spectra without position information are imported as time-series graphs.
- AFM Workshop spectra: File format detection was improved.
- JEOL: Raw data conversion is now based on data source, which should import
  more files correctly.
- HDR image: Split into two modules, OpenEXR and other file formats, since
  OpenEXR is the only one requiring a C++ compiler.
- Gwyfile: Version 1, 2 and 3 GWY formats are now distinguished as separate.
  Loading of version 1 and 2 files and saving of version 2 files was restored.

3.8 (2026-03-03)
Libraries:
- libgwyddion: GwyContainer was renamed to GwyDict.

  were unified, in particular with respect to even-sized kernels. Native
  GwyNield filter functions were added.
- libgwyddion: Old mask functions were removed replaced by functions working
  with GwyNield (transitionally with ‘_NIELD_’ in their name in 3.7).

  a single function calculating all of them.
- libgwyddion: Grain quantities were mostly updated to work correctly with
  non-contiguous and touching grains.

Modules:
- Renumber grains (new): Shows information about the current numbering and
  renumbers marked regions in various ways.
- All: Modules were updated to use GwyNield for masks. Buttons in dialog
  action areas, which were confusingly invoking different actions, were fixed.
- Qnami: Qnami ProteusQ text DAT file import (somewhat experimental).
- XYZ Volumize: Splitting XYZ data stream from HS-AFM and rasterize it
  creating Volume data.
- NanoObserver: Files with scan lines not in one contiguous block from top
  are handled correctly.
- ZON: Files with wrong header offset should work. Files with nested zstd
  compression work if Gwyddion is built with zstd support. Otherwise they
  give a more informative error message.
- Coupled PDE synthesis: Unintended rescaling of the input data when starting
  from an existing image was fixed and the initialisation from an existing
  image improved.

Other:
- Dependencies: Minizip-ng ≥ 4.0 can also be used as a ZIP file handling
  library.

3.7 (2026-01-07)
Libraries:
- libgwyddion: GwyDataField and GwyDataLine were renamed to GwyField and
  GwyLine.
- libgwyddion: New data object GwyNield is a two-dimensional field of
  integers, intended for masks and other marked and/or numbered regions.
- libgwyddion: Many temporary functions taking GwyNield masks with ‘_NIELD_’ in
  their name in place of ‘_field_’. They will eventually replace functions
  taking GwyField masks and be renamed, but for now both kinds coexist.
- libgwyddion: A number of mostly statistical functions was renamed, in
  particular ‘get’ was removed from names of functions which are not getters
  and execute some computation.
- libgwyddion: GwyLine part functions consistently take (pos, length) arguments
  instead of a mix of that and (first, last+1).
- libgwyapp: Some crashes and missing browser updates on secondary data changes
  were fixed.

Modules:

  temporarily the ability to read and write Gwyddion 2.x files.
- libgwyddion: GwySIUnit was renamed to GwyUnit.
- libgwyui: Response to gradient changes in various widgets was corrected.
- libgwyapp: The data keys in GWY files were rationalised, removing the odd
  placement of graphs and some other items. Older data types are affected more
  than newer types where the naming has already been more systematic.
- libgwyapp: The top-level object of a GWY file is now GwyFile, a subclass of
  GwyContainer.
- libgwyapp: GwyFile replaces facilities for getting and setting data items in
  files. Many operation can be done directly using GwyFile functions (as
  opposed to constructing various keys manually).
- libgwyapp: Data browser was rewritten from scratch. Some of previous
  functionality was added directly to File. The browser GUI is now just a
  widget, not a full window.
- libgwyapp: Several groups of functions which were provided separately for
  each data kind were merged into single functions with a data kind argument.
- libgwyapp: Module functions no longer have the rarely useful function name
  argument. When needed, the name is still available using functions such as
  gwy_process_func_current().
- libgwyapp: Metadata and log browsers are now normal window classes instead
  of odd functions managing the windows inside them.
- libgwyapp: Standalone data browser window was merged with the toolbox, making
  it a bit unwieldy for now. A few window context functions are currently not
  accessible for the lack of corresponding GUI.
- libgwyapp: New auxiliary classes GwyAppImageWindow and GwyAppGraphWindow
  encapsulate displaying of data as images and graphs.
- libgwyapp: Metadata editing, broken by filtering added in 3.4, works again.

3.5 (2025-09-02)
Libraries:
- libgwyddion: Serialisation API was changed somewhat to have a clearly
  defined intermediate stage (a tree of GwySerialisationGroups), similar
  to libgwyfile representation. Low-level functions work with both 32bit
  and 64bit sizes.
- libgwyddion: Unused resource methods use() and release() were removed.
- libgwyui: GwyDataView now directly takes the data fields, gradients and
  other settings, decoupling it from the structure of GWY files.
- libgwyui: Vector layers directly take selection objects, decoupling them
  from the structure of GWY files.
- libgwyui: Pixmap layers are gone. Set the fields to display directly on a
  GwyDataWiew.
- libgwyui: Separate horizontal and vertical rulers was replaced with just one
  orientable widget.

  which were moved to GwyGraphCurveModel.
- libgwyapp: New module utility and other updated functions reflecting the
  changes in data views.

  outliers and a filtering option was also added to the explicit preview
  creation.
- libgwyapp: Curve length was added as a possible curve map preview.

Modules:
- RMI TMD (new): Imports RMI TrueMap Data v2.0 files.
- HDF5: NaNs are masked in generic HDF5 import, fixing a possible crash.
- HDF5: Support for FusionScope .fsexp files was added.
- Curve Map Cut to Segments: Invert option was added for Approach-Retract
  splitting using curves where the split point is at the maximum, not minimum.
- JPK scan: Force curve map import attempts to avoid placeholder pause
  segments, which previously caused a non-uniform channels error. Broken
  segmentation of imported force curve maps was corrected.

Others:
- Dependencies: HDF5 1.12 is now required for HDF5 file format modules.
- Headers: Pragma once was added to headers, speeding up some compilations.


3.4 (2025-05-26)
Libraries:
- Headers: A simple include-everything gwy.h header was added.
- libgwyddion: Most members of data objects were moved to private structs.
  Basic properties such as pixel or physical sizes still remain public (for
  reading).
- libgwyddion: Unit setter functions, which were an eternal source of bugs,
  were finally removed. Use a getter and modify the unit.
- libgwyddion: Data compatibility checking functions and types were renamed
  to indicate clearly they are in fact checking incompatibility.
- libgwyddion: GwyContainer can be marked as in-construction for the initial
  construction, in particular in file import modules.
- libgwyapp: New GwyFile subclass of GwyContainer to represent specifically
  GWY files (currently unused).
- libgwyapp: Workaround for data browser drag'n'drop dropping wrong data in KDE
  Plasma in Wayland was improved to catch non-image data types.

- PS-PPT: Metadata reading was restored.
- Igor: Mismatched channel titles in exported IBW files were corrected.
- HDF5: Invalid/missing values in DATX are handled correctly now (by masking
  and interpolating).
- Nanoscope: Files with explicit Slow Axis Size do not have the vertical size
  corrected twice any more, which resulted in wrong physical dimensions.
- DME file: Possible crash in MS Windows upon file import was fixed.

Others:
- Introspection: Initial gobject-introspection support was added, allowing to
  import Gwyddion libraries to Python and other supported languages.
- Dependencies: We switched from JANSSON to JSON-GLib which is already used by
  GTK+ due to namespace conflicts between the two libraries.
- Source packages: Each library has its own .pc file now. Replace requiring
  gwyddion with libgwyapp. Simple programs may only require libgwyddion.
- Tests: Were moved to the top-level directory.


3.3 (2025-05-10)
Application:
- Remote control: The program was rebased on GApplication which serves as the
  universal backend for opening files in a running Gwyddion. Platform-specific

  translatable messages, removing our own macros but keeping gwy_sgettext()
  with some changes.
- libgwyddion: gwy_data_field_invert() X and Y flipping arguments were
  swapped to the logical order (matching other data objects).
- libgwyddion: Various obsolete functions were removed, such as the oldest
  set of 2D polynomial fitting functions.
- libgwyddion: Most functions with non-standard masking and area arguments,
  e.g. without masking type, were modified to have standard mask, masking and
  area arguments.
- libgwyui, libgwyapp: GtkGLExt-style OpenGL initialisation and checking
  functions were removed. Other initialisation functions were also merged
  and/or cleaned up.

Modules:
- Volume clustering (new): Volume data clustering, replacing volume k-means
  and k-medians and adding new methods, such as DBSCAN.
- K-means, K-medians: Removed (replaced with Volume clustering).

Others:

Others:
- Compilation: zlib and libpng are now required, not just optional.


3.0 (2024-12-31)
Application:
- Menus and toolbox: Are currently constructed using crude temporary means;
  there are many rough edges.
- File names: The program and various directories (including user
  configuration) now cary the number ‘3’ for parallel installation with version
  2.x. Conflicts still exist (e.g. MIME types, developer documentation) and
  installation to a throw-away directory is strongly recommended.

  MD5 sums, debug objects, median uncertainty, NL fitter geometrical
  approximation, pre-C99 math fallbacks, some freeing functions.

  images now use the same selection types (no separate graph selections).
  Some layers and selections were renamed during the merge.
- libgwydgets: Data view layers were rewritten for Cairo drawing and event
  controllers, changing the API quite a bit (incomplete).
- libgwydgets: Vector layers are now in the library (no longer modules).

Modules:
- General: Most modules now compile with GTK+3 and were updated to library
  changes. Several are still disabled: grain filter, polynomial distortion, tip
  blind estimation, immersion, rod deposition, pixmap and vector graph exports,
  volume 3D view, volume curve fitting, XYZ drift. More modules can crash or
  misbehave.

Libraries:
- libgwyddion: ACF and PSDF fitting preset initial guesses were improved.
- libgwyddion: Function for checking for a regular lattice was added, able to
  handle rotation and some moderate defects.

  of any processing module creating graphs. This widget supports graph zooms
  and graph measuring that was previously in several graph modules.

  registered as a GType type.
- libgwydgets: GwyColorButton reduction to a simple dialogue-less button using
  GwyRGBA instead of Gdk colours.  Mask colour selector helper
  gwy_color_selector_for_mask().
- libgwymodule: Processing modules sensitivity flags moved directly to
  GwyProcessFuncInfo.
- libgwyapp: Data window option menus directly display thumbnails.

Modules:
- All modules: State of controls is remembered also on Cancel.
- Remove by threshold: Has a mask colour change button too.
- Graph fit: beeping and too small From and To entries were fixed.
- Mask by correlation: Undo works.
- Mask by correlation and Cross-correlation: Misleading placement of ‘Please
  wait' window was fixed.
- Filters: Controls for values that don't make sense are insensitive.

Other:
- Dependencies: Gtk+-2.4 compatibility issues were fixed (namely crashes and
  ugly palette menu layout).


1.2 (2004-05-21)
Application:
- Command line: Options --version and --help work.
- User interface: Data window zoom is keyboard controllable (+, =, -, z).
- Resources: Settings are finally stored in a human readable text file,
  conversion from the binary dump should be automatic and smooth (however, do
  backup).
- User interface: Last Used processing function was differentiated to Repeat
  Last and Re-Show Last, with Ctrl-F and Ctrl-Shfit-F shortcuts.
- User interface: Right click on data window brings a very simple context menu.

Libraries:
- libgwyddion: Text dump/restore of GwyContainer.
- libgwyddion: Presets for common fitting functions for GwyNLFitter, fitting
  with some parameters fixed is possible.
- libgwyprocess: Several area functions were given more logical names and
  ‘cros’ was corrected to ‘cross’ in names; old function names will continue
  to work.
- libgwydgets: Radio button group constructor from GwyEnum.
- libgwyapp: Option menu of data windows.

Modules:
- Unrotate (new): Automagically correct rotation in xy plane.
- Graph fit (new): Fit common functions to graph data.
- Basic mask operations (new): invert, extract, grow, shrink masks.
- Filters: Speed of mean and median filters was dramatically improved.
- Slope distribution: Optionally can use local plane fitting for slopes,
  can create graph of angular slope distribution.
- Angle distribution: Optionally can use local plane fitting.
- Data arithmetic, Cross-correlation, and Mask by correlation: Are regular
  modules now.
- Rawfile: Does not forget presets and settings on Cancel and allow easily
  specify Tab as delimiter.
- Crop: Properly crops masks and presentations.
- Mark by threshold, Mark by watershed, Remove grains by threshold, and
  Laplace: Undo works properly (bug #17, bug #18, bug #19, bug #20).
- Filters: More cases of bug #7 (preview confused by tool switch) were fixed,
  preview properly reflects changes in data.
- Statistical functions: X axis scale was fixed for height and slope
  distributions, PSDF output improved using windowing properly.
- Profile selection: profile "thickness" introduced - up to 20 pixel thick
  averaged profile can be interactively selected and processed.
- All modules: Dialogues have standard (HIG) button orders.

Other:
- Unix compilation: Icons in API documentation should be properly installed on
  install.
- Resources: Several new palettes were added.


1.1 (2004-04-13)
Application:
- Create mask by correlation (new): This can be useful for searching
  for specific patterns on the surface, for example on interferometric
  grids.
- Cross-correlation (new): Matching between two slightly different images
  of the same feature can be found.
- User interface: A bug preventing new windows from appearing in Data
  Arithmetic and correlations in some window managers was fixed.
- User interface: modules not changing data (and creating new windows instead)
  never became ‘Last used’.
- System: Undo/redo memory leak was fixed.

Libraries:
- libgwyddion: Marquardt-Levenberg non-linear least square fitter was
  added (GwyNLFitter).
- libgwyddion: Specific functions for storing enums in GwyContainer were
  added.
- libgwyddion: gwy_strkill() and gwy_strreplace() string utility functions
  were added.
- libgwyprocess: Functions for computing fractal dimension and surface area
  added. Functions for correlation, cross-correlation, outlier detection
  and data correction by Laplace solver added.
- libgwyprocess: Vertical PSDF computation fixed. Some minor bugs having
  no specific influence on results corrected and code cleaned.
- libgwymodule: Data process modules can specify sensitivity of their
  menu entries.

Modules:
- Fractal (new): Fractal dimension of the rough surface can be
  evaluated using partitioning, cube counting, triangulation and power
  spectrum method.
- Laplace (new): Removal of data under mask (of any shape). It uses
  iterative method similar to solving Laplace equation.
- Outliers (new): Create mask by outlier detection using 3σ criterion.
- Pixmap: Can also import data from common bitmap image formats.
- Rawfile: Supports named presets of import parameters.
- Rawfile: No longer resets text/binary parameters when switching to
  the other type.
- Watershed: It is possible to change mask colour.
- Facet-level: shows progress bar and is cancellable.
- Filters tool: Bug #7 (preview confused by tool switch) was mostly fixed.
- Graph points: Bug #15 (bad value formatting) was mostly fixed.
- Shade: Bug #11 (not undoable) was fixed.
- Many modules: Memory leaks fixed.

Other:
- Development: The license of plug-in proxy as a reference dump format
  implementation was clarified.
