· Completely rewrote the internal image/file/container handling code to be much more simple and work much better.
· Added User-Agent HTTP header to the get GetFromURL code to fix issues with some web servers.
· Updated the internal networking code to fix crashing issues with GetFromURL.
· Changed how GetFromURL was handling redirects to fix crashing issues on Windows.
· Fixed issues with initializing the ImageMagick library.
· Updated the PDF conversion process to produce much better images by setting the quality to 100%/lossless.

· Fixed several issues with converting PDFs to any other format.

September 12th, 2012· Significantly reduced the file size of the Mac plug-in, simplifying the internals of the plug-in at the same time.
· Fixed several registration issues, including registration saving issues, crashes when registering, and dialogs not closing correctly.
· Reworked every bit of Windows specific code to fix issues with loading and running under Windows (especially Windows 7).
· Reworked the Ghostscript code to produce much better 72 dpi images of PDF pages.

July 19th, 2011· Output of Resize function looks dramatically better.
· Fixed an issue with Developer's License Keys not being retained.
· Fixed an issue with paths to external drives and network shares.
· Added code that strips an image's meta data when resizing or changing the DPI to work around issues with other programs reporting the wrong dimensions and DPI. This has the side effect of making thumbnails of JPEG images dramatically smaller.
· Fixed issues with temporary files being left behind when no longer needed.

· Complete rewrite of the plug-in from the ground up.

· All new Filter function that allows you to apply filters to images without a dialog.
· GetFromURL function now includes a Timeout parameter to time out the downloads that take too long.
· CNS Image can now create GIF images, so no more automatic conversion to PNG when dealing with them.
· • CNS Image can now read PDFs on Windows and is able to replicate the Mac feature of Importing a PDF into a container field, complete with a Preview image of the first page.
· Reading PDFs on Windows also means the plug-in can now split PDF pages into multiple images on Windows.
· Due to the complete rewrite and not using QuickTime, the main functions like Rotate and Crop work correctly now for all image formats.
· Server Edition of CNS Image introduced for using the plug-in with Scheduled Scripts and Web Publishing under FileMaker Server.
