vips__image_copy_fields_array() used to wipe meta on the output before
merging the input images. This broke foreign.c in some cases, since it
likes setting some meta on the output before calling the subclass
loaders, and they sometimes call write().

helps bindings (which struglle with vips_image_map()) get a list of
header fields
works from py, but not ruby, I guess gchar** isn't a supported type for
ruby-gnome
see https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/issues/533
rework header.c
- built-in enum fields, like "interpretation" are handled as enums, not
ints
- vips_image_get_*() functions always convert to the target type if they
can
- rename "field" to "name" in the docs
- clarify docs
the extra check on bandfmt in sizeof() in 8.3.2 was causing some performance
problems ... move the check to file read, so we only do it once
per image, not once per pixel or scanline
thanks Lovell!
We were freeing pixel buffers on thread exit. This was convenient, but
meant that main thread buffers were not freed until program exit. As a
result, long-running programs which created main thread buffers would
slowly fill the operation cache with useless junk, forcing everything else out.
This change also frees pixel buffers on image close. This makes the
cache work much better in long-running programs, and can substantially
reduce memory use.
See https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/issues/466
threads keep pixel buffers in thread-private storage, and free these
buffers on thread exit ... this means buffers created by the main thread will
only be freed on program exit!
if your program creates any main-thread buffers, these buffers will
eventually fill the operation cache and force everything else out,
making the cache useless
this patch explicitly frees main-thread pixel buffers on image close
when jpg compression is on, tiffsave now converts the input image for
jpg save ... previously, it would try to send a tiff-formatted image
(eg. perhaps with an alpha channel, or float data), which would fail
see https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/issues/449
jpeg write is more careful about removing exif tags that have been
removed from the image metadata
it failed previously if there were multiple Orientation tags
added VIPS_COUNT_PIXELS(), use like this:
static int vips_shrinkh_gen( VipsRegion *or, ... )
{
VIPS_COUNT_PIXELS( or, "vips_shrinkh_gen" );
}
and on image close, if more than 100% of the pixels have been
calculated, you get a warning
only if you enable debugging, since this hurts perf slightly
