<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">1.3.18 (March 10, 2013)</a></h1>
<p>Special Issues:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Due to <a class="reference external" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53967">GCC bug 53967</a>, several key agorithms (e.g. convolution)
may execute much faster (e.g. 2-3X) for x86-64 and/or when SSE is
enabled for floating point math (<cite>-mfpmath=sse</cite>) if the GCC option
<cite>-frename-registers</cite> is used. Default 32-bit builds do not
experience the problem since they use '387 math.  It is not clear
in what version of GCC this problem started but it was not noticed
by the developers until the GCC 4.6 timeframe.  Other compilers do
not suffer from this bug.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Security Fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>None.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Bug fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed bug with format substitutions if input string ends with a
single '%'.</li>
<li>BMP: Fixed an old bug with decoding chromaticity primaries.</li>
<li>PNG: Fixed reading of interlaced images.  Fix reading of sub-8-bit
palette and grayscale images.  Some PNG sub-formats were written
incorrectly.  Fix crash in PNG8 writer if image colors happened to
be non-zero but image was not actually colormapped.</li>
<li>PNG: Configure script now also searches for libpng versions 16 and
17.</li>
<li>TIFF: Fix a crash which was noticed when writing RGBA separated
(planar) format.</li>
<li><cite>--enable-symbol-prefix</cite> was not prefixing all of the C
symbols. Some core C library functions were not prefixed.  This
option applies to the Wand library API as well now.</li>
<li>C API: When input is from a user-provided file descriptor, the
file position is restored after reading the file header bytes.
Previously the file position was rewound to the beginning of the
file.  This allows reading embedded image data from the current
offset in a file, and allows continuing to use the stream after
GraphicsMagick has returned the image.</li>
<li>C API: It is now possible to invoke CloseBlob() multiple times.</li>
<li>display: Display was supposed to respond to +/-usePixmap, but was
not. It was responding to +/-use_pixmap.  Now it responds to both.</li>
<li>Windows/VisualMagick: Fix building GraphicsMagick with Intel ICC
compiler driven by Visual Studio Professional 2012.</li>
<li>Windows: Avoid a crash and produce a useful diagnostic if
Ghostscript is needed but not yet installed.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>New Features:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>GM utility: New 'batch' command was contributed by Kenneth Xu
which supports executing any number of other GM utility
sub-commands in a single invokation in a sort of &quot;batch&quot; script.
Input may be piped from standard input, from a specified file, or
from a 'GM &gt;' command prompt.  This utilities front-end allows any
other program/script to drive 'gm' using a co-process model and
speeds up execution by eliminating utility start-up/shut-down
time.</li>
<li>WIN64 (64-bit Windows): Windows 64-bit is now officially supported.</li>
<li>convert/mogrify: Now support -auto-orient to automatically rotate
the image upright for viewing based on its current orientation
setting.  Also support -orient to support setting the current
image orientation.  Please note that the orientation property of
EXIF profiles is not yet updated so the EXIF profile will be wrong
after using -auto-orient.</li>
<li>C API: AutoOrientImage(), new New function to automatically orient
the image so that it is upright for normal viewing.</li>
<li>Wand API: MagickGetImagePage()/MagickSetImagePage(), new functions
to support getting and setting the image page size and offsets.</li>
<li>PNG: Added PNG48 and PNG64 support. Added PNG00 support (png
encoder that inherits its color-type and bit-depth from the input,
if the input was a PNG datastream).</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Feature improvements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>GraphicsMagick TAP tests may now be run stand-alone using Perl's
'prove' TAP test driver.</li>

</blockquote>
<p>Windows Delegate Updates:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>None.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Behavior Changes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>ltdl: Libltdl is no longer bundled.  Libltdl must be previously
installed on the system in order to build the modules
configuration.</li>
<li>AppendImages() now converts subsequent images to the colorspace of
the first image, and no longer converts the first image to RGB.
Instead, it is assumed the user knows what she is doing.</li>
<li>SetImageColorRegion() no longer automatically converts the image
to RGB.  The user is responsible for assuring that the provided
color is in the same colorspace as the image.</li>
</ul>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">1.3.17 (October 13, 2012)</a></h1>
<p>Security Fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>PNG: Fix for CVE-2012-3438. The Magick_png_malloc function in
coders/png.c in GraphicsMagick 6.7.8-6 does not use the proper
variable type for the allocation size, which might allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG
file that triggers incorrect memory allocation.</li>
<li>Automake (derived): Fix for CVE-2012-3386: The &quot;make distcheck&quot;
rule in GNU Automake before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 grants
world-writable permissions to the extraction directory, which
introduces a race condition that allows local users to execute
arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Bug fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>PNG: Reading sub-8-bit palette images is fixed (images looked
stretched).</li>
<li>SVG: Fixed bug which allowed MVG and SVG files with long vector
paths to crash the software.</li>
<li>SVG: Ignore XML headers rather than rendering them as text.</li>
<li>MVG/SVG/WMF/-draw: It is now possible to draw a plain ','
character.</li>
<li>WMF: Fixed a bug which caused wrong centered-text placement.</li>
<li>import: Return status was inverted.</li>
<li>configure: Don't force that liblzma is used just because libtiff
is used.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>New Features:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The configure script now supports a --enable-quantum-library-names
option to enable that shared library name includes quantum depth
to allow shared libraries with different quantum depths to
co-exist in same directory (only one can be used for development).</li>
<li>JNX: Support is added for reading the Garmin proprietary Image
Format.</li>
<li>BMP: Support an alpha channel in uncompressed 32-bit BMP.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Feature improvements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li><cite>-lat</cite>: The adaptive threshold algorithm is replaced with a new
algorithm which scales linearly (rather than quadratically) with
area size.</li>
<li>Tests: Test suite is re-written to use TAP-based tests.</li>
<li>GIF: Reader tries to be better at detecting and reporting
failures.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Performance Improvements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>-lat: Adaptive threshold is much faster with large area sizes.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Windows Delegate Updates:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Dcraw 9.16 is now included in the build (with JPEG and JPEG2000
support).</li>
<li>Libxml2 is updated to the 2.9.0 release.</li>
<li>Libtiff is updated to the 4.0.3 release.</li>
<li>Lcms2 is updated to the 2.4 release.</li>
<li>Libpng is updated to the 1.5.13 release.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Behavior Changes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Loading modules is only supported for the modules build.
Previously any build using shared libraries could load modules.</li>
<li>Bundled libltdl is now configured as 'installable' rather than
'convenience'.</li>
<li>-enhance: Only filter based on color channels (ignore opacity).</li>
<li>BrowseDelegate: Web browser (for viewing help information) now
defaults to 'xdg-open', but if it is not found, then configure
will search for firefox, google-chrome, mozilla (in that order).</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Don't translate 'comment' and 'label' attributes if the request is
made while a file is being read.  Only translate such attributes
if they come from the command line or API user.</li>

</blockquote>
<p>Bug fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>SWT: SWT reader suffered from a number of implementation errors
which caused it not to work any more.  Works again.</li>
<li>XBM: Fix memory leak observed when reading file in 'ping' mode.</li>
<li>Support -trim on images which use a consistent (single color)
transparent background.  In this case, trim is done based on
opacity rather than foreground color.</li>
<li>Include &lt;sys/types.h&gt; in order to assure that 'size_t' and
'ssize_t' are declared.  This is necessary since
MagickExtentImage() uses these types as part of its definition.</li>
<li><cite>+repage</cite> was not working because parser was insisting that it
should include an argument.</li>
<li>-units was scaling existing resolution the wrong way around
(i.e. multiplying rather than dividing).</li>
<li>PerlMagick: Fix compilation with Perl 5.16.</li>
<li>PingBlob(): PingBlob was not working for all cases.  Is now based
on BlobToImage() for assured reliability.</li>

</blockquote>
<p>New Features:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Added '+noise random' and '-operator noise-random' to 'convert'

<li>Added -strip option in composite, convert, mogrify, and montage to
remove all profiles and text attributes from the image.</li>
<li>Added -repage option to composite, convert, mogrify, and montage
subcommands to reset or adjust the current image page offsets
based on a provided geometry specification.</li>
<li>New C function StripImage() to remove all profiles and text

<li>New C function ResetImagePage() to adjust the current image page
canvas and position based on a relative page specification.</li>
<li>C functions GenerateDifferentialNoise(), AddNoiseImageChannel(),

<ul class="simple">
<li>No longer add a printf-style scene formatting specification to
filenames which do not have one and no longer automatically
operate in 'adjoin' mode in such cases.  If multiple numbered
files are intended to be output, then add +adjoin to the command
line and use an output filename specification similar to
&quot;image-%d.jpg&quot;.  Output files are now completely specified and
predictable but this may break some existing usages which
anticipate the automatic file numbering.</li>

<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>In I/O blob, don't rewind already open file handle passed to

</blockquote>
<p>Behavior Changes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>InitializeMagick() MUST be invoked prior to using any Magick API
function.  Failure to do so will likely lead to an immediate
application crash.  This is due to initialization and runtime
changes intended to improve thread safety and efficiency.
Previously it was only strongly recommended to invoke
InitializeMagick().</li>

transparency and 'O' should indicate opacity.  Behavior was
inconsistent.  In some cases 'O' meant transparency while in other
cases it meant opacity. Also, in a few cases, matte was not

content is now compiled into the library in an efficient way, but
existing values may be modified, or new values added by adding
entries to color.mgk.</li>
<li>DisableSlowOpenMP is now the default.  Use --enable-openmp-slow to
enable OpenMP for algorithms which sometimes run slower rather
than faster.</li>

are no longer bundled in the GraphicsMagick installer.  This means
that hp2xx.exe, mpeg2dec.exe, and mpeg2enc.exe are no longer
distributed.</li>

<li>OpenMP: Fix (benign) multi-thread cross-contentions (detected by
valgrind's Helgrind).</li>
<li>TIFF: Fix problem with reading one bit per sample RGB images.</li>
<li>TIFF: Writer was using rows-per-strip of 8 when writing
JPEG-compressed TIFF.  This does not work for vertical
subsampling, and some TIFF readers insist on 16.  The
rows-per-strip is now required to be a multiple of 16.</li>
<li>TIFF: In some cases, the TIFF reader and writer were accessing

<p>New Features:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Added HRS reader for slow scan TV (contributed by Fojtik Jaroslav).</li>
<li>Pthreads (POSIX threads) API may now be used under the WIN32 API.</li>
<li>New access confirmation facility (MagickConfirmAccess) to allow
the API user to monitor and/or block access to files and URLs.
This allows the API user to implement a security policy based on
actual accesses.</li>
<li>New color matrix function (ColorMatrixImage) to apply a color
matrix similar to Adobe Flash Flash.filters.colorMatrixFilter(),
and Windows GDI+ ColorMatrix class, (order up to 5x5) to the image
pixels.  This is accessible via the -recolor command option.</li>
<li>Added an IDENTITY coder to return a Hald identity CLUT image of
specified order (e.g. &quot;identity:8&quot;).</li>
<li>Added a Hald CLUT capability as described at
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.quelsolaar.com/technology/clut.html">http://www.quelsolaar.com/technology/clut.html</a>.  This allows a
color transformation to be easily created and replicated on any
number of images.  The algorithm is accessed by the -hald-clut
option of 'convert' and 'mogrify'.  Original algorithm by Eskil
Steenberg and adapted for GraphicsMagick by Clément Follet, with
additional work by Bob Friesenhahn.</li>
<li>Added support for the ASC CDL transform.  Available as -asc-cdl
via the 'convert' and 'mogrify' subcommands.  Original
implementation by Clément Follet but considerably re-worked by Bob
Friesenhahn.  Implementation passes the +/- 1 count accuracy
requirement required by the ASC CDL SOP tests.</li>
<li>Added support for reading CALS Type 1 format (contributed by John
Sergeant).  CALS is a standard raster format used by the US
Department of Defense for storing blueprint images.</li>
<li>Added a random number generation system based on George
Marsaglia's multiply-with-carry generator.  Somewhat slower than
rand() but produces better random numbers with a period &gt;2^60.
This is a much better random number generator than the C library
rand() and the algorithm is integrated in a way which maximizes
multi-thread performance.</li>
<li>The 'compare' command now supports a -maximum-error option to
specify the maximum image error so that it may be used to support
boolean logic in automated test scripts.</li>
<li>For OpenMP-builds, the '-list resource' output now indicates the
number of threads which will be used.</li>

<li>DICOM: The DICOM reader is completely re-written and is much more
functional now.  A few features (e.g. RLE compression) are still

<li>Utilities &#64;file.txt syntax for including a list of files to use as
an argument now really works as expected.  This may be used to
inject any other text into the command line as well.  As a result,
the 'mogrify' utility may be invoked on thousands of files at once
while obtaining the list of files to process from a text file.</li>

twice in order to obtain the color count.  This makes normal use of
-verbose much faster.</li>

<li>Find latest Ghostscript which idenfies itself as &quot;GPL Ghostscript&quot;.</li>
<li>Use GlobalMemoryStatusEx(), if available, to determine how much
physical memory is available. Important for large-memory machines.</li>
<li>Fixed NTreaddir() so that it does not write beyond its buffer.</li>
<li>Fixed opendir() emulation function so it can't overwrite the stack.</li>
<li>FlashPIX library sources are no longer distributed in the Windows

number of images (derived from XFig) suitable for use as patterns,
or as test images.</li>
<li>The &quot;PATTERN&quot; coder now returns an image pattern tiled to size
(equivalent results to TILE:IMAGE:pattern). This is for ImageMagick
compatibility.</li>
<li>The CINEON coder now supports reading and writing images in CINEON
&quot;CIN&quot; linear gray and RGB formats. The read support is still very
weak, but it works for common images.</li>
<li>The JPEG coder now estimates the original JPEG quality and sampling
factors and will reuse these options when writing JPEG if the image
is of the same type and the option &quot;-define JPEG:preserve-settings&quot;
is supplied.</li>
<li>The JPEG-2000 coder now supports all Jasper library arguments using
command line syntax similar to '-define jp2:rate=0.5'.</li>
<li>Reading and writting compressed SVG (SVGZ) is now supported.</li>
<li>The TXT coder now observes depth when writing.</li>
<li>The TIFF coder now outputs colormapped images with 1, 2, 4, and 8
bits per sample in order to provide much smaller file sizes for
images with very few colors.</li>
<li>Many TIFF coder enhancements. Now reads colormapped and grayscale
images at arbitrary (even odd) bits-per-sample sizes. Now properly
supports an opacity channel (at any bits-per-sample value) for
grayscale images. Bilevel grayscale images are treated similar to any
other grayscale image unless CCITT FAX3/FAX4 compression is
requested. Now allows the user to specify an arbitrary
bits-per-sample value for grayscale images (even odd values) using
&quot;-define tiff:bits-per-sample=value&quot;. Now automatically stores the
image as TrueColor RGB pixels if the image compression is set to JPEG.
TIFF files are now written in using the TIFF library's default endian
order rather than always big endian.</li>
<li>The WPG coder now renders embedded WMFs.</li>
<li>The PS3 coder is completely re-written to work much better and
support more features (see ChangeLog).</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Code structure enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Error handling has been improved and validated through testing.
Some errors were being lost, unnecessarily ignored, or reported as
something else entirely.</li>
<li>The number of error text messages to be maintained has been reduced
by consolidating similar messages.</li>
<li>The memory allocator functions have been replaced with similar
macros in order to eliminate warnings with GCC 3.3, avoid
accidentally casting away const, and allow memory debuggers to
report memory allocations and frees against the correct functions.
The previously-used functions remain in the library for the purpose
of compatibility.</li>
<li>&lt;magick/xwindow.h&gt; no longer depends on magick_config.h defines.</li>
<li>The text string localization code has been replaced with a simpler
version written by Bill Radcliffe.</li>
<li>Added key,value &quot;map&quot; APIs (somewhat similar to C++'s &lt;map&gt;) for
internal use.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>API enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Incorporated John Cristy's Wand API's in a new GraphicsMagickWand
library.</li>
<li>API definition is no longer dependent on types which vary in size
(e.g. size_t) depending on large file compilation options.  This means
that applications may now be compiled without any special large file
options and still work properly with the library.</li>
<li>Thrown exceptions (ExceptionInfo structure) now include source
file, source line, function name, and current system error number.</li>
<li>The GetMagickInfoArray() function is added to replace use of
GetMagickInfo() for code which needs to access the coder list. This
is necessary since invoking GetMagickInfo() may re-order the coder
list, causing problems for code which traverses the list. Using
GetMagickInfo() to access individual list elements is safe.</li>
<li>Added the CopyException function to support copying exception info
from one structure to another.</li>
<li>Added the ReplaceImageInList function to replace an image in an
image list.</li>
<li>Added the DrawPeekGraphicContext function to access the current
DrawInfo structure in the drawing context stack. Use of this
function is not recommended since it voilates proper programming
practices. It is added to support the Wand API's.</li>
<li>GetImageDepth() now returns an integral value between 1 and
QuantumDepth and is no longer limited to the values 8, 16, and 32.</li>
<li>SetImageDepth() supports setting the image modulus depth to any
integral value between 1 and QuantumDepth. This effects the effective
numeric precision, not the storage depth, since the quantum storage
type is still a Quantum.</li>
<li>GetImageChannelDepth() supports retrieving the modulus depth for a
specified channel.</li>
<li>SetImageChannelDepth() supports setting the modulus depth for a
specified channel.</li>
<li>ProfileImage is updated to handle alpha channels and grayscale
images.</li>
<li>Added GetImageProfile() to retrieve a CMS profile from an image.</li>
<li>Added SetImageProfile() to attach a CMS profile to an image without
adjusting the image pixels.</li>
<li>Added DeleteImageProfile() to remove a CMS profile from an image.</li>
<li>ConstituteImage() and DispatchImage() now support 'T' (transparency),
'O' (opacity), and 'P' (pad) options.</li>
<li>CompositeImage() now supports CopyCyanCompositeOp,
CopyMagentaCompositeOp, CopyYellowCompositeOp, and
CopyBlackCompositeOp, composition operators.</li>
<li>GetColorHistogram() obtains a color histogram for the image.</li>
<li>QuantumOperatorImage() and QuantumOperatorRegionImage() support
arithmetic and bitwise operations on specified image channels.</li>
<li>The semaphore.h header is no longer installed or included in the
API headers since these functions are private interfaces.</li>
<li>Configure using --enable-symbol-prefix or define
PREFIX_MAGICK_SYMBOLS to use the C preprocessor to prefix all library
symbols with &quot;Gm&quot;. This prevents library symbol conflicts with other
libraries.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>PerlMagick fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Adjusted a number of function option names so that they match the
documentation.</li>
<li>Memory leak fixed.</li>
<li>Reading files (e.g. GIF) via a file descriptor is fixed.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Build improvements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The TRIO library may be used to provide a replacement for vsnprintf
if the C library doesn't provide it.  This improves security on old
systems.</li>
<li>Configure only configures for C &amp; C++ languages.</li>
<li>Configure now does a better job of figuring out how to build a
thread-safe library across multiple operating systems.</li>
<li>Configure incorporates a new mmap() test which tests the
functionality which is needed so that mmap() is not unnecessarily
rejected on a number of systems. This improves performance for large
files on those systems.</li>
<li>Configure/build fixes for IBM's AIX operating system.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Windows-specific improvements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The static install package now uses the &quot;uninstalled&quot;
configuration so that it does not depend on the Windows registry in
order to run. This allows files from the static install package to
be copied to another computer without running an installer.</li>
<li>The executable search path is extended at run-time to include the
directory where the CORE DLLs reside in order to ensure that they
are found.</li>
<li>Adding the -t option to VisualMagick configure enables building
all of the coders into one library in order to save build time and
simplify linkage.</li>
<li>The XTRN coder now supports wide characters.</li>
<li>LCMS library updated to version 1.10.</li>
<li>GMDisplay displays a checkerboard pattern behind transparent images.</li>
<li>Support is provided for issuing log messages to the Windows standard
logging system.</li>
<li>Project files are now provided for use with Borland C++ Builder 6.0.</li>
<li>Updated LCMS version to 1.12.</li>
<li>Updated FreeType version to 2.1.5.</li>
<li>Updated JBIG-KIT to version 1.5.</li>
<li>Updated libpng to version 1.2.5.</li>
<li>Updated libwmf to version 0.2.8.2.</li>
<li>Updates zlib to version 1.2.1.</li>
<li>ActivePerl 5.8.1 Build 807 now supported.</li>
<li>GraphicsMagick now compiles using Visual Studio .NET 2003.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Many performance enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Default QuantumDepth is 8 since this is adequate for most purposes
and more efficient than 16.</li>
<li>The Magick++ demo (compiled with QuantumDepth=8 and -O2) runs about
1.8X faster under SPARC/Solaris than the same demo with ImageMagick
5.5.4.</li>
<li>Colorspace transformations are much faster.</li>
<li>Grayscale/monochrome image handling is much faster.</li>
<li>PseudoClass image handling is faster.</li>
<li>Text annotations using FreeType are much faster.</li>
<li>Image file I/O is much faster.</li>
<li>RLE-compressed MIFF reading much faster.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Code structure enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>All utility support functions moved to magick/command.c in order to
significantly reduce link dependencies, allowing statically-linked
programs to be smaller.</li>
<li>Use of MogrifyImage() elminated except for by utilities.</li>
<li>Re-builds due to changes to &lt;magick/image.h&gt; reduced by splitting the
header into multiple headers.</li>
<li>ISO C '99 typedefs (gm_int16_t, gm_uint16_t, gm_int32_t, gm_uint32_t,
gm_int64_t, gm_uint64_t) are available for use.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Feature enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Module loader always enabled for shared builds to allow extension.</li>
<li>Loading of arbitrary filter modules (via -process option) supported
under Unix as well as Windows.</li>
<li>SVG coder allows specifying size and initial background color.</li>
<li>JPEG-2000 coder (JP2) updated to work with Jasper 1.7.</li>
<li>HWB and HSL image colorspace translation support.</li>
<li>JNG/MNG/PNG format support tracks ImageMagick version.</li>
<li>BMP encoder can write 16-color indexed BMPs now as well as 2-color
BMPs (not restricted to monochrome).</li>
<li>TIFF decoder now includes optimized support for tiled and stripped
TIFF.</li>
<li>The -random-threshold option (RandomThresholdImage()) is added to
threshold an image to bilevel using random thresholding.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Major bug fixes:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>100% successful test completion at all quantum depths (8/16/32).</li>
<li>A temporary file management subsystem is added to ensure that all
temporary files are removed before program exit. Temporary files are
created and used in a secure fashion to avoid the possibility that a
&quot;trojan&quot; temporary file (e.g. a symbolic link, or a file containing
unsafe content) is created before a delegate has the chance to write
to it. The environment variable MAGICK_TMPDIR allows the user to
specify where temporary files are created without altering where
other programs create their temporary files. Temporary filenames are
created in 8+3 format to hopefully be more acceptable to ralcgm.</li>
<li>When dithering is disabled, don't dither when converting to a
PseudoClass, grayscale, or monochrome image. Disabling dithering
may cause these translations to be much faster.</li>
<li>PICON format works with BLOBs.</li>
<li>No longer removes input file when pinging a FlashPIX file.</li>
<li>Arc drawing and texture fill fixes from ImageMagick.</li>
<li>Sample, scale and affine fixes from ImageMagick.</li>
<li>MIFF colormaps are now scaled properly while reading.</li>
<li>CMYK translation works for QuantumDepth=32.</li>
<li>ConstituteImage now works properly for grayscale images.</li>
<li>Built-in tilde expansion and filename globbing now works properly.</li>
<li>InitializeMagick now registers signal handlers to ensure that
resources are released before program exit.  This helps avoid
temporary file leaks due to the user using &quot;CONTROL-C&quot;.</li>
<li>The installed &lt;magick/magick_config.h&gt; header now only contains
the few definitions required by the API headers.  This should
significantly reduce or eliminate conflicts with other package
headers.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Windows platform enhancements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Configure updated for Visual C++ 7.0.</li>
<li>OLE object (ImageMagickObject) re-written to work with Visual C++ 7.0</li>
<li>New function, CropImageToHBITMAP(), to return a region of the image
as a Windows HBITMAP.</li>
<li>Use vsnprintf to format strings under Windows (safer).</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>On November 19, 2002, GraphicsMagick was created as a fork of
ImageMagick, several days before the ImageMagick 5.5.2 release.</p>
<p>The objectives of GraphicsMagick are to:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Use an open development model.</li>
<li>Encourage new developers to join the project.</li>
<li>Avoid unnecessary source code &quot;churn&quot;.</li>
<li>Establish and preserve a stable API.</li>
<li>Use efficient coding practices which result in fast code.</li>
<li>Improve memory efficiency.</li>
