Added a new routine to GLIB which stretches (scales) a bitmap, with the transparency level of each plotted pixel determined by that pixel's 'brightness' (actually its averaged RGB value). The darker a pixel is, the more transparent it is when plotted. Finally, a global transparency value is applied to each pixel so that the bitmap as a whole can be 'faded' into the background if so desired. This routine is perhaps useful for e.g. fireball/explosion effects.
Here's a quick demo of the new routine (it's nothing exciting of course):
