The log of significant changes prior the first release of GIL as part of Boost was collected from https://stlab.adobe.com/gil/news.html site and from the linked PDF documents with detailed descriptions. The old history is very detailed (after the PDFs) but it is intersting. It illustrates evolution of the library design and API, for example, renaming of types or functions were renamed indicates evolution of semantics and inter-relations of the library elements. This is especially interseting in case of the complex types like bit-aligned pixels and images, where does the concept of memunit come from, etc.
