image_effects 8.x-3.2

This release provides update of dependencies, cleanup of deprecated code, and drops support for Drupal 8.

The module now also supports PHP 8.1, albeit one of its dependencies, pel/pel, is still using PHP deprecated functions as of its current release, 0.9.10.

Introducing a Rotate effect

A 'Rotate' effect and operations for GD and Imagemagick, alternative to Drupal core's, are introduced here. This code addresses most of the open core issues with image rotation (see #3240390: [policy, no patch] Move image rotation code from core into contrib). Plus, it allows alpha channel in background color, defining a fallback color when full transparent background is not supported by the image format (e.g. JPEG), and pseudorandom rotation of the image depending on the source URI so that <img> tags can bear defined height and width attributes.

A Drush command is also provided to help converting core's image 'rotate' effects instances in Image Styles (and viceversa if needed).

Type $ drush image-effects:convert-rotate to get a list of Image Styles to be converted and select those to convert.

More options are available, also for batch execution. Type $ drush image-effects:convert-rotate --help to get more information.

Sample fonts removed from the package

Linux Libertine and Biolinum fonts were previously included, for testing purposes, in the module's tests/fonts directory. Now they have been removed, in favour of getting them via Composer at testing time.

If for any reason you were relying on these fonts, you can still access them by requiring them and the Vendor Stream Wrapper module via Composer:

$ composer require drupal/vendor_stream_wrapper:^2 fileeye/linuxlibertine-fonts:^5.3

then, where you were indicating a font like e.g.
modules/contrib/image_effects/tests/fonts/LinLibertineTTF_5.3.0_2012_07_02/LinLibertine_Rah.ttf

you can now change the path to use a vendor:// URI
vendor://fileeye/linuxlibertine-fonts/LinLibertine_Rah.ttf
