v1.5

Changes since v1.4.1

A bunch of small but useful improvements this release:

• HDRView now supports HDR/XDR displays on macOS!
• On macOS, HDRView now supports loading images via Finder or dragging-and-dropping onto the application (you can now set HDRView as the associated image viewer for Finder/open!).
• The info panel now dynamically adjusts precision of image statistics like the min, average, max
• Removed submodules and switched to using CPM.cmake
• Switched from docopt to CLI11. Windows builds no longer depend on Boost, which was the cause of most build/link issues.
• Added missing icon files so make install works on Linux (thanks @fjavifabre)
• Updated README.md

• HDView now supports multiple image editing tools including: paintbrush, clone stamp, eraser, eyedropper
  • each tool can take over the top panel to provide options
    • e.g. paintbrush supports selecting radius, hardness, flow, angle, roundness, spacing and smoothness
  • GUI shows selected tool's overlay on the image (e.g. the circle/ellipse of the brush)
  • paint brush supports smoothing of mouse cursor movements using Chaikin's quadratic b-spline corner-cutting algorithm (centripetal Catmull-Rom also an option, but commented out)
• Added a foreground/background color selection widget in the toolbar that is shared by all tools
• keyboard shortcut code has been refactored so each tool handles it's own shortcuts
• Info is now it's own panel on the left side
• minor GUI fixes.
