*******************************
To install, extract both the EXE and DLL to your
GIMP plug-ins folder. This is typically at
C:\Users\<USER>\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\.
If you prefer, there is also a plug-ins folder in
your main GIMP installation. This is at
<gimp install dir>\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\.

Changes
*******
1.2.1
* Fixed errors on Windows XP
1.2
* Upgraded to GIMP 2.8
* Added 64-bit support
* Now saves top-level layer groups to separate VTF
files. Store albedos, bumps, masks, and anything
else in the same XCF!
* Export settings are now remembered after GIMP is
closed
* Now writes I8/IA8 if the image is grayscale and the
user wants an uncompressed format
* Fixed non-localised layer names when loading
animated VTFs
* Removed HDR pixel formats. Neither GIMP nor VTFLib
support this yet.
1.1
* Upgraded to VTFLib 1.3.2 for VTF 7.5 support
* Each open image now has its own save settings
* Save settings are now filled in when loading a VTF
* Flags not covered by the UI are now preserved when
saving an opened file
* Added a simplified format selection (do you want
compression, do you want alpha)
* Added options to save with LOD disabled, Clamping
and/or the Bump/SSBump flags
* Added a VTF version option when saving
* Added LOD Control setting (human-configurable!)
* Added explanatory tooltips
* Added localisation support (no actual translations,
but creating them is now possible)
* Fixed errors when saving an image after its designated
alpha layer has been removed
* Fixed error when alpha layer doesn't fit the image
* Graceful out-of-memory handling
1.0.4
* Fixed embarrassing error when saving a single-frame
image. It took 300 downloads to get one bug report...
1.0.3
* Fixed errors when saving grayscale or indexed images
* Layers are now resized and offset as appropriate when
saved as frames/faces/slices
1.0.2
* Fixed GIMP error report on toggling "Use layer as alpha
channel" when there are no suitable layers
* Further tweaks to format list: wierder options removed,
remainder better sorted
* Corrected reported alpha bits for BGRA4444
* Renamed "Compression" header to "Pixel format", as only
the DXTs are really compressed
1.0.1
* Fixed save failure when using the only layer in the
image as the alpha channel (can no longer do this)
* Fixed error messages not making it from the file loader
to GIMP
* Sorted format list so that all the DXTs are at the top
* Corrected alpha bit depth for RGBA16161616(F)
* Code elegance, and fixed VS post-build event for users
not called Tom
