GraphicsMagick 1.3.16 is now released, and is the version recommended 
to use.

Please visit the GraphicsMagick web site at 
http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ to learn more about GraphicsMagick, or 
to download files.

The following are the updates since the prior release:

Security Fixes:

   * 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.

Bug fixes:

   * SWT: SWT reader suffered from a number of implementation errors
          which caused it not to work any more.  Works again.

   * XBM: Fix memory leak observed when reading file in 'ping' mode.

   * 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.

   * Include <sys/types.h> 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.

   * +repage was not working because parser was insisting that it
     should include an argument.

   * -units was scaling existing resolution the wrong way around
      (i.e. multiplying rather than dividing).

   * PerlMagick: Fix compilation with Perl 5.16.

   * PingBlob(): PingBlob was not working for all cases.  Is now based
     on BlobToImage() for assured reliability.

New Features:

   None

Feature improvements:

   * MAT: Animated movies inside 4D matrices are loaded now.

   * PDF: File base name is used as the document title.

   * PNG: Fix issues observed specifically with libpng 1.5.10.

Performance Improvements:

   * Pixel iterators should be more efficient now if the image uses a
     file-backed cache.

   * Motion blur algorithm does scale well as cores are added so
     include OpenMP support for it by default.

Windows Delegate Updates:

   * JPEG: Updated to IJG 8d release.

   * PNG: Updated to 1.5.11 release

   * TIFF: Updated to 4.0.2 release.

   * Zlib: Updated to 1.2.7 release.

   * libxml2: Updated to 2.8.0 release.

Behavior Changes:

   None
