Version 5.1.0

Added

• For File:
  • detect_faces() method to detect faces in images.
• For ImageTransformation:
  • text() method to allow adding text overlays to images.
  • rect() method to allow adding solid color overlays to images.
  • strip_meta() method to control the presence of EXIF metadata in the resulting image.
  • border_radius() method to add rounded corners.
  • zoom_objects() method to zoom in on objects.
  • rasterize() method to rasterize SVG images.
  • detect_faces() method, which provides face detection in images. While ImageTransformation.detect_faces() ensures consistency within the ImageTransformation API, you are more likely to use File.detect_faces() to obtain face detection results.

Changed

• Blocks have been updated to v0.36.0
• For ImageTransformation:
  • The overlay() and overlay_self() methods now treat overlay_width and overlay_height parameters as optional.
  • Unified gif2video(), gif2video_format(), and gif2video_quality() methods into a single gif2video() method. The format and quality parameters can now be accepted directly in the gif2video() method.
• Black dev dependency has been updated to 24.3.0.

Fixed

• Django forms: Any modifications made in an image editor are now correctly restored when editing the same image again. Previously, the editor state was not restored, and the original image was displayed instead. via uploadcare/blocks#615.

Deprecated

• For ImageTransformation:
  • Deprecated the separate gif2video_format and gif2video_quality methods. Please use the format and quality parameters directly in the gif2video method for setting these properties.
