GraphicsMagick 1.3.15 Released

GraphicsMagick 1.3.15 is now available.  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.

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.
