Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Has there been an undocumented change or just lagging documentation and/or have I missed the noted change? The current docs say that you can flag the command to ignore black pixels. _FAST accepts the flag parameter, 'unfast' does not (syntax). It's not a huge difference, but when using the command to rotate text to 'any' angle, the quality does noticeably decrease and the black triangles are ugly!
I'm using _FAST, haven't figured out another solution.

I asked this question a while back, and my understanding is that this isn't a bug -- IMAGE ROTATE and IMAGE RESIZE intentionally lack the optional flag to ignore black pixels. The documentation should get updated to reflect that the _FAST versions take the flag while the non-fast (bilinear) versions do not.
As a work-around you could use IMAGE RESIZE or IMAGE ROTATE as appropriate to scale and rotate your image, and then use IMAGE RESIZE_FAST with 1:1 scaling (new width and height the same as existing width and height) to copy the image without writing black pixels.

Why not read the release notes and/or manual for V5.06.00?
