1.3.1 - 2022-02-08

• Similarly for the CLI, it can now be called with a --no-resize flag

Other changes

• The order of CLI args when calling autocrop --help changed to place flags first
• Start using type hints across the codebase

1.2.0 - 2021-11-26

Changes

• Modify the opencv-python dependency over to opencv-python-headless, which doesn't have all the GUI baggage. Easier to download and package.

1.1.1 - 17-02-2021

Deprecations

Other changes

• Updates to the example notebook

1.1.0 - 24-10-2020

Added

• CLI now copies file by default

1.0.0 - 24-03-2020

Added

• Cropper class now available from Python API.
• Local multi-version testing for Python now available with tox.
• Extra regressions tests to defend against image warp and cropping outside the regions of interest.
• Support for Python 3.8

Bugfixes

• Specify encoding in setup.py, which was causing some errors on Windows.

Deprecated

• Support for padding argument — this is now solely handled by the face_percent parameter, and enforces the aspect ratio between width and height.
• Support for Python 2.7

0.3.2

Changes

• Autocrop now prints the filename of images where face detection failed
• Internal refactoring and more tests

0.3.1

Changes

• Add -r, --reject flag to specify directory where the images that autocrop couldn't find a face in are directed to.
• Instead of having the target files copied then cropped, they are instead cropped and saved to their respective target folder.

0.3.0

Changes

• Added support for padding (padLeft, etc.) in the CLI.

Bugfix

• Fixed warp on crop for -w and -h values

0.2.0

Changes

• Add -o, --output flag to specify directory where cropped images are to be dumped.
  • Error out if output folder set to current directory, i.e. -o .
  • If directory doesn't exist yet, create it.
  • If no face can be found in an image in batch, it is still copied over to -o folder.
  • If no output folder is added, ask for confirmation ([Y]/n), and destructively crop images in-place.
• Use -i, --input flags as synonyms for -p or --path: symmetrical in meaning to "output".
  • Is now standard nomenclature in documentation.
• --input or --path flag is now optional.
  • Standard behaviour without input folder is to non-recursively process all images in immediate folder, i.e. -p . as currently implemented.

Breaks

• Removed all mentions of the hard-coded 'bkp' and 'crop' folders
• Calling autocrop without specifying an input path, i.e. autocrop does not look for the 'images' folder anymore.
