The GraphicsMagick project has not had a maintainer capable of 
completing/supporting the PSD (Photoshop) file format support.  This 
file format is very complex and inadequately specified (Adobe provides 
only a high-level summary) so it requires a dedicated maintainer who 
is able to focus regularly on it and address any issues.

The inadequate state of the current PSD support is a security hazard 
and places user files at risk.

This is a heads-up that I plan to remove PSD from the default build 
and that a configuration option will be required to add PSD back to 
the build.  This change will occur in the next GraphicsMagick release.

If a maintainer is found and the PSD support is suitably improved, 
then it will be returned to the default build.

Thanks,

Bob
