ImgAreaSelect 0.9.7 has just been released. It’s a few days later than I originally anticipated, as I bumped into some problems with the automated tests. Well, I guess with a dozen browsers, some running on virtual machines, some compiled from source code, I can’t expect things to be easy. Anyways, the significant changes in this version are:

• The minWidth/minHeight/maxWidth/maxHeight options now respect scaling
• There is a new API method, cancelSelection(), which cancels the current selection (as the name suggests)

Big thanks to everyone who provided feedback, especially to Loa and Greg.

With each new version, I spend some time making sure the plugin code is as small as possible — after all, the project home page states “the packed version is less than 8 KB”, and I want to keep it that way. But, the packed code for this release was initially about 40 bytes more than 8 KB, so I had to do some refactoring. By changing a few regular expressions, I managed to get it down to 8191 bytes, which happens to be exactly one byte less than 8 KB. That’s a close call, but, hooray, my statement still holds true!
