24-bit BMP images of any width save and load correctly
- What was broken
- BMP files need each row padded to a multiple of 4 bytes. The library skipped that, so images of other widths saved as broken files and loaded skewed.
- What I changed
- I made it add the padding when saving and skip it when loading.
- Why it matters
- Images of any width now go in and out of BMP files intact.

32-bit BMP images save with the right colors
- What was broken
- Saving a 32-bit image as a BMP file wrote a header that did not match the pixel order. Some programs refused the file and others showed the colors swapped.
- What I changed
- I made the header describe the pixels in the order they are actually written.
- Why it matters
- BMP files saved by the library open correctly in other programs.
