This release fixes several bugs and adds a number of new features. This release is binary compatible with all previous 1.3.X releases, however, please read the change notes since there is a change in behavior from previous releases. Please visit http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ to learn more about GraphicsMagick, or visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/ to download GraphicsMagick from SourceForge. The following are the changes in this release: Security Fixes: * Libpng in Windows build is updated to 1.5.10 release. Provides a fix for CVE-2011-3048. Bug fixes: * PNG - fixed problem with bit depth when the encoder decides to write RGBA instead of indexed PNG. * Fixed some temporary file leaks which were caused by the temporary file name being automatically extended to include a scene number, and therefore fail to be deleted. New Features: * Added '+noise random' and '-operator noise-random' to 'convert' and 'mogrify'. This modulates the existing image data with uniformely random noise. * Added -strip option in composite, convert, mogrify, and montage to remove all profiles and text attributes from the image. * 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. * New C function StripImage() to remove all profiles and text attributes from the image. * New C function ResetImagePage() to adjust the current image page canvas and position based on a relative page specification. * C functions GenerateDifferentialNoise(), AddNoiseImageChannel(), QuantumOperatorRegionImage(), AddNoiseImage() updated to support RandomNoise enumeration. * New C++ Image method strip(), and unary function stripImage() to remove all profiles and text attributes from the image. * XCF format now respects image subimage and subrange members so that returned image layers may be selected. * The INFO coder (e.g. output file "info:-") now respects the -format option so that its output may be adjusted identically to how -format works for 'identify'. * TclMagick now supports Random noise. Feature improvements: * C function ThumbnailImage() now allows the user to override the filter used, but still defaults to using the box filter. Performance Improvements: * None Behavior Changes: * 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 "image-%d.jpg". Output files are now completely specified and predictable but this may break some existing usages which anticipate the automatic file numbering. </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2012-04-28T21:26:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/107 <pre>GraphicsMagick 1.3.14 is now available. This is primarily a bug-fix release. The only new features are that MagickExtentImage() is added to the Wand API, and the Mamiya Photo RAW "MEF" format is now supported. The Despeckle algorithm (-despeckle) is many times faster now. In my experience, this is a quite worthy agorithm since it does well at removing noise without making the image blurry. Now it is less painful to use. Users of the Windows package should update as soon as possible since the included libpng incorporates a critial security fix. The GraphicsMagick web site is at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/". The news page which describes the details of the release is at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/NEWS.html". Please report any bugs you may encounter. Bob </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2012-02-26T02:17:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/106 <pre>The GraphicsMagick development snapshots at ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/snapshots/ have been updated. Most importantly, the Windows install packages now include libpng 1.5.9, which fixes the dire CVE-2011-3026 buffer overrun bug. Libtiff 4.0.1 and zlib 1.2.6 are also included. Please test the snapshots and report any bugs so that the next formal release can be as solid as possible. Thanks, Bob </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2012-02-19T00:57:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/105 <pre>GraphicsMagick 1.3.13 is now available. The 1.3.13 release is API and ABI compatible with all previous 1.3.X releases and is therefore a stable drop-in upgrade. Many bugs are fixed, including some which caused deadlock or a crash. Some new features which may be most interesting: * EXIF profiles are preserved when writing JPEG files. * The benchmark facility is improved and supports a -stepthreads option to benchmark a command with varying numbers of threads. * Support added for netpbm PAM format. * BigTIFF support added for Windows builds (via libtiff 4.0) * Most Windows "delegate" libraries updated to lastest version. There are far too many changes to list here, please visit http://www.graphicsmagick.org/NEWS.html for the full list of changes.

Bob </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2011-12-25T16:11:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/104 <pre>The GraphicsMagick CVS repository has now been transformed to use Mercurial instead. The old CVS repository remains alive, but is now read-only. Due to bandwith constraints (Mercurial requires cloning the whole repository), the stable Mercurial repository is hosted at SourceForge. In my testing, I was able to clone the repository in about four seconds across a broadband (DSL) connection. Please see the page at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/Hg.html for more information. Let me know about any issues you may encounter. Bob </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2011-05-30T22:25:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/103 <pre>Normally I would not announce new GraphicsMagick Windows snapshot builds but the last set built was back on September 21st 2010 so new ones are a notable event. Snapshots may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/snapshots/ The changes since September 21st (or whatever you may be using) can be seen via the GraphicsMagick ChangeLogs at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/Changes.html Thanks, Bob </pre> Bob Friesenhahn 2011-02-20T21:24:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphicsmagick.announce/102 <pre>GraphicsMagick 1.3.12 is now released. This release fixes a number of bugs. Most significantly, use of GraphicsMagick as a filter was broken by the 1.3.10 release. Windows users should install this version in order to avoid possible exposure to DOS due to well-crafted PNG files. Download the release from SourceForge via "https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/" or visit the web site at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/". The following are the changes since the 1.3.11 release: Security Fixes: * Updated libpng Windows sources to 1.2.43 in order to resolve CVE-2010-0205 as it pertains to the GraphicsMagick Windows build. Bug fixes: * Filter mode (write to stdout) was completely broken. * Should now compile with libpng 1.4. * Windows PerlMagick build identified itself as the wrong version. New Features: * None Feature improvements: * None Performance Improvements: * None Behavior Changes: * DCX output format is only written on request. Previously the PCX coder would automatically switch to DCX format if multiple frames would be written.

This release fixes a few bugs discovered in the 1.3.9 release. Download the release from "https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/" or visit the web site at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/". The following are the changes in this release: Security Fixes: * None Bug fixes: * +adjoin was not working correctly for the case when only one image frame is present. With +adjoin and writing one frame to "foo%d.jpg" it was outputting "foo%d.jpg" rather than "foo0.jpg". * When drawing paths, memory allocation for the points was much larger than it needed to be (patch by Vladimir Lukianov). New Features: * None Feature improvements: * None Performance Improvements: * None Behavior Changes: * To reiterate the change which first appeared in 1.3.9, there is no longer an implicit +adjoin if the output file name happens to contain a %d sequence, or there are multiple frames and the output file format only supports storing one frame. Specify +adjoin if scene number substition is desired in the output file names.

This is a bug-fix release. Please download the release from "https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/" or visit the web site at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/". The following are the changes since the 1.3.8 release: Security Fixes: * None Bug fixes: * Fix "double free" error when using gm import -frame. * XPM does not support RGBA color syntax, so return RGB instead. * The display '-update' option was only working in conjunction with the '-delay' option with a delay setting of 2 or greater. * For formats which support multiple frames, output with +adjoing to filenames containing a scene specification (e.g. foo%02d.tiff) was resulting in wrong output file names. * -convolve was crashing rather than reporting an error. * Fixed crash if the number of OpenMP threads was reduced from the original value via '-limit threads' or omp_set_num_threads(). * -blur was not blurring the opacity channel for solid-color images. * When installing HTML documentation, many files were included which are not part of the formatted documentation. * Several deleted global string constants are restored with deprecated status in order to assure that symbols are not removed from the ABI. New Features: * None Feature improvements: * None Performance Improvements: * None Behavior Changes: * There is no longer an implicit 'adjoin' if an output filename contains an apparent scene specification (e.g. foo%02d.tiff) and multiple files are not needed to save the image.. It is necessary to use +adjoin. For example ``gm convert foo.pdf +adjoin %02d.tiff``. * -flatten now applies the image background color under the first image in the list if it is not already opaque.

Command line utility, PerlMagick, and TclMagick users should feel free to ignore this. As of the GraphicsMagick 1.3.8 release, it is absolutely required to invoke the InitializeMagick() function before using the C or C++ APIs. This function has always been part of GraphicsMagick (and recommended to be used) but it was often believed to not be necessary since the library usually worked without invoking it. This absolute requirement is now imposed in order to improve thread safety and efficiency. Failure to invoke InitializeMagick() will surely lead to either a thrown assertion (if assertions are enabled) or an immediate crash. InitializeMagick() may be invoked any number of times so if you are not sure if the library is initialized, then simply invoke it again. If you are responsible for updating GraphicsMagick, please make sure that any programs or libraries using the GraphicsMagick APIs are invoking InitializeMagick().

This will be the last release which is based CVS HEAD development. Subsequent 1.3.X releases will be to fix bugs, or to selectively update individual algorithms. Development on CVS HEAD really will be for 1.4. Visit the GraphicsMagick web site at "http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/" for project details, and download release files from SourceForge at "https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/". The following are the improvements in 1.3.8 since the 1.3.7 release. Please be sure to read the "Behavior Changes" section since there are more significant changes than normal: Security Fixes: * Fix for CVE-2009-1882 "Integer overflow in the XMakeImage function". * Fix lockup due to hanging in loop while parsing malformed sub-image specification (SourceForge issue 2886560). * Libltdl: Updated libtool to 2.2.6b in order to fix security issue. Resolves CVE-2009-3736 as it pertains to GraphicsMagick. Bug fixes: * -convolve, -recolor: Validate that user-provided matrix is square when parsing -convolve and -recolor commands in order to avoid a core dump. * CALS: Reading images taller than the image width resulted in a failure. * ConstituteImage(), DispatchImage(): 'A' and 'T' should indicate 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 getting enabled in the image as it should. * DCRAW: Module name was not registered so modules based builds were not supporting formats provided via 'dcraw'. * GetOptimalKernelWidth1D(), GetOptimalKernelWidth2D(): In the Q32 build, convolution kernel size was estimated incorrectly for large sigmas on 32-bit systems due to arithmetic overflow. This could cause wrong results for -convolve, -blur, -sharpen, and other algorithms which use these functions. * Image Size: Fixed the ability to pass the image size via the filename specification like "myfile.jpg[640x480]" rather than needing to use -size. * IPTC: Blob data needed to be padded to an even size. Size is now correctly reported. * IPTC: Returned IPTC string values were one character too short. * Large Files: Large pixel cache files were not working under GNU Linux. * JP2: Fixed some value scaling problems. * JP2: Fix possible crash at exit when Jasper is used by a modules build. * MPC: is_monochrome and is_grayscale flags were not managed properly for the MPC coder. * PCL: Page was not always being ejected. * PNG: The png8 encoder would fail when trying to write a 1-color image. * PSD: PSD parser was confused by 0x0 pixel layers, resulting in image data corruption of all following layers. * -rotate, -shear: Some internally-reported errors were potentially being lost. * Subrange/stdin: Commands now support reading an image from stdin in conjunction with a subrange specification (e.g. "-[1]"). * Magick++ STL ShadeImage: Implementation was completely botched. New Features: * CALS Type 1 files may now be written (Work contributed by John Sergeant). CALS support is dependent on the TIFF library. * GROUP4RAW encoder supports reading/writing RAW Group4 data. * JP2: JPEG 2000 may now be written in arbitrary bit depths ranging from 2 to 16 rather than just 8 or 16. * JPEG: IJG JPEG library version 7 is now supported. * JPEG: Added jpeg:block-smoothing and jpeg:fancy-upsampling defines to control these JPEG library options. * JPEG: Detect and apply colorspaces appropriately for ITU FAX JPEG. * Resource Limits: There is now a "threads" resource limit which allows specifying the number of OpenMP threads which may be used, similar to the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable. * TIFF: Allow CIELAB TIFF to be read. * MagickGetImageAttribute()/MagickSetImageAttribute(): New Wand methods to support getting and setting an image attribute. Contributed by Mikko Koppanen. * ClonePixelWand(): New Wand method to deep-copy an existing pixel wand. * ClonePixelWands(): New Wand method to deep-copy an array of existing pixel wands. * MagickCdlImage(): New Wand method to apply the ASC CDL to an image. * MagickGetImageBoundingBox(): New Wand method to return the crop bounding box required to remove any solid-color border from the image. * MagickGetImageFuzz(), MagickSetImageFuzz(): New Wand methods to get and set the color comparison fuzz factor. * MagickHaldClutImage(): New Wand method to apply a Hald CLUT to an image. * MagickSetResolution(): New Wand method to set the wand resolution. * MagickSetResolutionUnits(): New Wand method to set the wand resolution units. * Magick++: Allow Magick++ library to built as a DLL under MinGW and Cygwin. This requires a modern GCC in order for C++ exceptions to work. Feature improvements: * Cygwin: Cygwin 1.7 is now supported. * JPEG compression settings are preserved (if possible) when inserting JPEG blobs into formats which use JPEG. * PDF: If the original file used JPEG compression, then use JPEG compression with original settings (if possible). * TIFF: Update Windows build to use libtiff 3.9.2. * X11 Display: Apply a checkerboard pattern underneath transparent images which use more than simple binary transparency. Performance Improvements: * Gamma: Performance is improved for Q8 and Q16 builds. Also preserve full precision in Q32 build. * String data is dealt with a bit more efficiently (fewer allocations, less memory, and less CPU). Behavior Changes: * 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(). * ConstituteImage(), DispatchImage(): 'A' and 'T' should indicate 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 getting enabled in the image as it should. * colors.mgk: Is now empty to default and is optional. Previous 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. * DisableSlowOpenMP is now the default. Use --enable-openmp-slow to enable OpenMP for algorithms which sometimes run slower rather than faster. * magic.mgk: This configuration file is no longer used since this data is now compiled into the library in an efficient way. * modules.mgk: Is now empty to default and is optional. Previous 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 modules.mgk. * Third party executables not included in the Visual Studio build are no longer bundled in the GraphicsMagick installer. This means that hp2xx.exe, mpeg2dec.exe, and mpeg2enc.exe are no longer distributed.

This is a maintenance release for the 1.2 stable branch. This is expected to be the last release from the 1.2 branch since 1.2 was originally released on April 29, 2008 and most users will be interested in the 1.3 releases. Please visit the GraphicsMagick web site at http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ to learn more or to download the release. The following are the changes in this release compared with the 1.2.9 release: Security Fixes: * Fix for CVE-2009-1882 "Integer overflow in the XMakeImage function". * Eliminate lockup due to hanging in loop while parsing malformed sub-image specification (SourceForge issue 2886560). * libltdl: Update libltdl to 2.2.6b in order to fix security issue. Resolves CVE-2009-3736 as it pertains to GraphicsMagick. Bug fixes: * The pixel cache was not working properly for large pixel cache files (&gt;2GB) under Linux. This limited the maximum image size which could be handled by a 32-bit application. * -convolve: Convolve does not accept an argument which looks like a geometry. Resolves SourceForge issue #2890923 "Different handling of -convolve between convert and mogrify". * -convolve: In the Q32 build, convolution kernel size was estimated incorrectly for large sigmas on 32-bit systems * -draw: Eliminate read access beyond end of array. * IPTC: Returned IPTC string values were one character too short. * JPEG: Work properly with IJG JPEG library version 7. * Magick++: Implementation fix for STL shadeImage function object. Feature improvements: * TextureImage(): Matte channel indication is disabled if a texture is rendered under the image. * JPEG 2000: Fix reading/writing 12-bit JPEG 2000. Support ".j2k" as a file extension. * X11 display: If an image is TrueColor and has an opacity channel, then render it on top of a grid image to make the transparency more apparent. * Added MagickLibInterfaceNewest and MagickLibInterfaceOldest preprocessor defines so that applications may easily test for library versions while compiling.

This GraphicsMagick bug will be resolved in the next GraphicsMagick release, and has been fixed for several weeks in the development snapshots. For those trying to secure file names for modern GraphicsMagick, it is worth noting that file names may be written (in a secure fashion) to a text file which is then specified with a '&lt; at &gt;' prefix. The file name is then read from the file specified. This avoids the need to pass potentially dangerous file names via the system command shell.

The issue is in libltdl rather than GraphicsMagick, but certain build configurations of GraphicsMagick expose the potential exploit. Some operating systems will still be reasonably secure while others are quite risky. If this command produces no output then you are likely ok: gm -version | grep with-modules | grep disable-static If it does output a line of text then there may be a security risk. To be safe from the risk while using a modules build then make sure that GraphicsMagick is configured with these options: --enable-shared --disable-static --with-modules People using really anchient versions of GraphicsMagick with terse 'gm -version' output will need to use other means to see if --disable-static was used.

This release is both a feature and bug-fix release. The release was hastened due to a corruption bug discovered with embedded profiles in JPEG files. Regardless, there are many bug fixes, and many new/improved features as well. Learn more about GraphicsMagick at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/". Download the release from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/". The following are the improvements in GraphicsMagick since the previous 1.3.6 release: Security Fixes: * PCX: Detect improper rows, columns, or depth. Fixes CVE-2008-1097 "Memory corruption in ImageMagick's PCX coder". * DrawDashPolygon: Avoid a crash which sometimes occured with tiny polygons. Bug fixes: * JPEG: Profile chunks need to be concatentated in order to build the whole profile. This was not working so embedded profiles larger than 32K or maybe 64K were being corrupted. This bug was introduced in GraphicsMagick 1.2. * Meta: Fix memory leaks. * Meta: Work better with with IPTC record 2 blocks and deal better with IPTC embedded in an 8BIM profile. Fixes by John Sergeant. * MPC: Fix crash when reading MPC and the input image is modified. * PNG: Ensure that the opacity channel is properly initialized. * -profile: Lowercase arguments were sometimes not working as expected. * Topol: Topol reader actually works now and is included in test suite. * TIFF: Read and write JPEG-compressed grayscale TIFF correctly. * VisualMagick configure now works properly when output paths are specified. * WMF: Eliminate memory leaks. New Features: * MagickWand: New method MagickSetCompressionQuality() to allow setting the compression quality. * MagickWand: New method CloneDrawingWand() to deep-copy a drawing wand. * MagickWand: New method DrawGetException() to retrieve information regarding the last drawing wand exception (if any). * MagickWand: New method DrawClearException() to clear a drawing wand exception. * Magick++: New Image method cdl() to apply the ASC CDL. * Magick++: New Image method colorMatrix() to apply a color matrix to the image channels. * Magick++: New Image method haldClut() to apply a color lookup table (Hald CLUT) to the image. * MSL/Conjure: Added a new 'profile' command which applies, adds, or removes one or more IPTC, ICC or generic profiles from a file. Work contributed by John Sergeant. * Added a 'time' subcommand to provide Unix-style 'time' output when a 'time' capability is missing, or the reporting format is inconsistent. For example 'gm time convert ...'. Feature improvements: * ColorMatrixImage(): Add opaque opacity channel when needed. * PDF &amp; PS: Use '-type palette' prior to input file name to cause Ghostscript to return a dithered colormapped image. * PNG: Now compiles with libpng-1.4.0beta74 and later. * TIFF: Libtiff in Windows build is upgraded to 3.9.1. This allows GraphicsMagick to read and write 16 and 24 bit float TIFF files. * Windows code to find Ghostscript is rewritten from scratch. Performance Improvements: * Drawing of points, lines, and polygons (and complex shapes based on these) is now accelerated using OpenMP with excellent speed-up. * ICC color transforms now see linear speedup from OpenMP. * Rotate: For rotations of 90 or 270 degrees, tile sizes are selected more appropriately. Behavior Changes: * No longer clear the exception structure at the start of ReadImage() and other similar functions since this sometimes masks errors.

This is a critical bug fix release to the 1.2.X release series. If you are already using a 1.2.X release, then you should update to this release, unless you were planning to upgrade to 1.3.X. GraphicsMagick 1.3.7 should be released within the next few days. Visit http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ to learn more about GraphicsMagick. The following are the changes in this release since 1.2.8: Security Fixes: * None Bug fixes: * Large embedded profiles (&gt;32k, &gt;64K, depending on writing software) read from JPEG files were being corrupted. This problem originated in GraphicsMagick 1.2.

Large ICC profiles are broken up into smaller chunks when saved to JPEG files which need to be re-assembled when the JPEG file is read. Starting with GraphicsMagick 1.2 (1.1.X are fine), this re-assembly was not done correctly. Small ICC profiles (&lt; 32-64K bytes depending on the writing software) pass through without problems. Luckily, most files do seem to use small profiles. GraphicsMagick 1.2.9 and 1.3.7 will include fixes for this problem. A source patch to coders/jpeg.c is included for those who have source code and need to fix the problem ASAP.

I would like to change the GraphicsMagick license to be the true MIT License text (as described at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php) rather than the MIT look-alike license currently used. It is within our right to do this since the existing license text provides for sublicensing, and of course GraphicsMagick Group applied the current license. Using the true MIT license gains Open Source Initiative approval, and blessings from other organizations as well. We can't change existing licenses covering code we didn't write but the existing licenses which provide for sublicensing then effectively become covered by the MIT license. For the Windows build (and starting in the the 1.4 release cycle), I would like to eliminate any dependence on proprietary C++ class libraries (ATL and MFC). This will result in the elimination of "gmdisplay" and "ImageMagickObject" from the installer. The distributed binary software can then be completely built using Visual Studio Express edition, or GCC. Obviously we will need some sort of new display program (based on an open source toolkit) which works under Windows, and it would be useful to have an API which may be used from other than C or C++ (e.g. from Visual Basic). This can be discussed in the GraphicsMagick forum and mailing lists.

This is a security and bug-fix release to the legacy stable code on the 1.2 release branch. It is intended for those who must use a 1.2 version. See http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ for more information on GraphicsMagick. The following changes (since the 1.2.7 release) are included in this release: Security Fixes: * BMP: Fix assertion thrown for BMP files with negative image height values. Resolves SF issue 2523536 "bug in bmp coder". * DIB: Fix assertion thrown for DIB files with negative image height values. * PCX: Detect improper rows, columns, or depth. Fixes CVE-2008-1097 "Memory corruption in ImageMagick's PCX coder". * SVG/rendering: Avoid access beyond end of array. Resolves SourceForge issue 2832125 "Crash on SVG conversion". * Random number generator initialization was insufficient, leading * to predictable temporary file names. Bug fixes: * DPX: Fix leak of chroma image when subsampling to 4:2:2. * EPT, PDF, PS: PDF bounding box is sometimes incorrect or not globally applicable so don't specify bounding box when reading PDF files. Postscript files do need the bounding box so make sure that it is still supplied. Resolves SF tracker issue 2487651 "convert from pdf chops off rhs". * PNG: Ensure that opacity channel is properly initialized. Resolves SourceForge issue 2831240 "Possible alpha channel issue with PNG w/palette and tRNS". * TIFF: In some cases, RowsPerStrip needs to be a multiple of 16 for JPEG in TIFF so ensure that RowsPerStrip is a multiple of 16. * WMF: Eliminate memory leaks. * GetImageBoundingBox(): If we fail to find a smaller bounding box, then the returned bounding box is the entire image. * ReadMETAImage(): Fix memory leak of profile blob. * Magick++: Don't install Magick++ headers if Magick++ is disabled. * PerlMagick: Fix Ping of blob. * Utilities all: Input wildcard file specifications with a subdirectory component such as ``"subdir/*.dpx"`` were not working. Expand ``&lt; at &gt;filename`` to a list of arguments. * RPM spec file: The module .la files need to be installed as part of the base install or else the modules will fail to load. Feature improvements: * -resize: When resizing a non-opaque image, attenuate the influence of surrounding colors based on their degree of transparency in order to avoid "halos" around objects caused by colors which are transparent and therefore not part of the visible image. Patch contributed by Pavel Merdin via SourceForge Tracker #2792322.
