GraphicsMagick 1.0.3 is now available.  GraphicsMagick 1.0.3 is a
bug-fix release in the 1.0 release cycle and is 100% API and ABI
compatible with GraphicsMagick 1.0.  GraphicsMagick 1.0.3 does not
include any features which are not in GraphicsMagick 1.0.  New
features and additional bug-fixes (but possibly new bugs) are
available via the 1.1 development snapshots.

Please see "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/www/download.html" for how
to retrieve this release.  Downloading via the SourceForge link is
preferred since SourceForge offers many mirror sites and lots of
bandwidth.

Bugs fixed since the 1.0.2 release:
    * Configure script fix to ensure that -lfpx is not supplied to C
    compiler during subsequent tests since this fails on some systems.
    * BMP reader fix to avoid unnecessary rejection of some old
    uncompressed Windows 2.X and OS/2 BMPs.
    * Semaphore fix which is necessary for proper multi-threaded operation.
    * EXIF attributes were failing to be retrieved.
    * Image magick string is that of the user-specified input file rather
    than (possibly) a temporary file.
    * BLOB file header tests are only performed if the user has not
    specified the BLOB format (magick).
    * Fixed a problem with reading images via a user provided file
    descriptor. The coder was sometimes being passed a file descriptor
    with a non-zero seek position. Note that reading from non-seekable
    file streams may still be unreliable since the header magic tests
    must read part of the input data and the seek position must be rewound.
    * A locking problem was fixed in the logging code.
    * JNG support can now be removed while continuing to support PNG and
    MNG.  This is neccessary if libjpeg is not available.
    * VisualMagick configure is updated to eliminate a build dependency
    problem and to enable fast static builds.

Please report any bugs via the graphicsmagick-bugs mailing list, or
via the bug tracking system at SourceForge.

Thanks,

Bob
