🔧 Improvements

• You can now pass an empty list for masks to any transform:

  transform(image=image, masks=[])
  

New: area_for_downscale parameter

Added to: • RandomScale • LongestMaxSize • SmallestMaxSize • Resize

area_for_downscale options: • None – default behavior • "image" – use cv2.INTER_AREA when image is downscaled • "image_mask" – use cv2.INTER_AREA for both image and mask

Using cv2.INTER_AREA for downscaling helps reduce artifacts, unlike other interpolation methods.

🐛 Bug Fixes • Fixed serialization in ToFloat
