Hi,
So you’ve decided to name it 0.9.0 instead of 0.8.5 eh? Have been waiting for a colour image output function for quite some time. Nice work.
Yeah, I figured that the translation stuff alone was worth a new version number, plus that was the longest changelog yet.

It’d be nice if there was a midway point between white and black backgrounds, or an average colour midway setting.
