Nuke 2.1.0

• #57 ImageDecompressor now uses CGImageAlphaInfo.NoneSkipLast for opaque images
• Add ImageProcessorWithClosure that can be used for creating anonymous image filters
• ImageLoader ensures thread safety of image initializers by running decoders on a NSOperationQueue with maxConcurrentOperationCount=1. However, ImageDecoder class is now also made thread safe.

Nuke 2.0.1

• #53 ImageRequest no longer uses NSURLSessionTaskPriorityDefault, which requires CFNetwork that doesn't get added as a dependency automatically

Nuke 2.0

Nuke now has an official website!

Main Changes

• #48 Update according to Swift API Design Guidelines. All APIs now just feel right.
• Add ImageRequestMemoryCachePolicy enum that specifies the way ImageManager interacts with a memory cache; NSURLRequestCachePolicy no longer affects memory cache
• Add UIImage extension with helper functions for Core Image: nk_filter(_:), etc.
• Add ImageFilterGaussianBlur as an example of a filter on top of Core Image framework
• #17 Add priority to ImageRequest
• Add removeResponseForKey() method to ImageMemoryCaching protocol and the corresponding method to ImageManager
• Implement congestion control for ImageLoader that prevents NSURLSession trashing
• Simplify ImageLoaderDelegate by combining methods that were customizing processing in a single high-level method: imageLoader(_:processorFor:image:). Users now have more control over processing
• Add NSURLResponse? parameter to decode method from ImageDecoding protocol
• ImageDataLoading protocol no longer has isLoadEquivalentRequest(_:toRequest) and isCacheEquivalentRequest(_:toRequest). Those methods are now part of ImageLoaderDelegate and they have default implementation
• ImageResponseInfo is now a struct
• Improved error reporting (codes are now stored in enum, more codes were added, error is now created with a failure reason)

UI Extensions Changes

• Move nk_imageTask(_:didFinishWithResponse:options) method to ImageLoadingView protocol, that's really where it belongs to
• Add handler property to ImageViewLoadingOptions that allows you to completely override display/animate logic in ImageLoadingView
• Remove nk_prepareForReuse method from ImageLoadingView extensions (useless)
• Remove placeholder from ImageViewLoadingOptions, move it to a separate argument which is only available on ImageDisplayingViews
• Add animated, userInfo to ImageViewLoadingOptions
• ImageViewLoadingOptions is now nonull everywhere
• Add setImageWith(task:options:) method to ImageViewLoadingController

Other Changes

• If you add a completion handler for completed task, the response is now marked as isFastResponse = true
• Fix an issue that allowed incomplete image downloads to finish successfully when using built-in networking
• equivalentProcessors(rhs:lhs:) function is now private (and it also is renamed)
• Remove public isLoadEquivalentToRequest(_:) and isCacheEquivalentToRequest(_:) methods from ImageRequest extension
• Add ImageTaskProgress struct that represents load progress, move fractionCompleted property from ImageTask to ImageTaskProgress
• Remove public helper function allowsCaching from ImageRequest extension
• Remove deprecated XCPSetExecutionShouldContinueIndefinitely from playground

Nuke 1.4.0

• #46 Add option to disable memory cache storage (thanks to @RuiAAPeres)

Nuke 1.3.0

• Add Core Image Integration Guide
• Fill most of the blanks in the documentation
• #47 Fix target size rounding errors in image downscaling (Pyry Jahkola @pyrtsa)
• Add imageScale property to ImageDecoder class that returns scale to be used when creating UIImage (iOS, tvOS, watchOS only)
• Wrap each iteration of ImageProcessorComposition in an autoreleasepool

Nuke 1.2.0

• #20 Add preheating for UITableView (see ImagePreheatingControllerForTableView class)
• #41 Enhanced tvOS support thanks to @joergbirkhold
• #39 UIImageView: ImageLoadingView extension now available on tvOS
• Add factory method for creating session tasks in ImageDataLoader
• Improved documentation

Nuke 1.1.1

• #35 ImageDecompressor now uses 32 bpp, 8 bpc, CGImageAlphaInfo.PremultipliedLast pixel format which adds support for images in an obscure formats, including 16 bpc and more
• Improve docs

Nuke 1.1.0

• #25 Add tvOS support
• #33 Add app extensions support for OSX target (other targets were already supported)

Nuke 1.0.0

• #30 Add new protocols and extensions to make it easy to add full featured image loading capabilities to custom UI components. Here's how it works:

extension MKAnnotationView: ImageDisplayingView, ImageLoadingView {
    // That's it, you get default implementation of all the methods in ImageLoadingView protocol
    public var nk_image: UIImage? {
        get { return self.image }
        set { self.image = newValue }
    }
}

• #30 Add UIImageView extension instead of custom UIImageView subclass
• Back to the Mac! All new protocol and extensions for UI components (#30) are also available on a Mac, including new NSImageView extension.
• #26 Add getImageTaskWithCompletion(_:) method to ImageManager
• Add essential documentation
• Add handy extensions to ImageResponse
