GraphicsMagick 1.1.4 is now released.  This version is API/ABI 
compatible with the preceding 1.X releases.  The release is intended 
to fix flaws noticed in the previous release, and does not introduce 
any new features.  New features are targeted for the 1.2 release.

GraphicsMagick is now 2 years old.

The following fixes and improvements are in this release, over and 
above those in the 1.1.3 release:

   Security Fixes:
     * Security fixes for AVI, BMP, DIB, and TIFF formats.
     * LZW security fix (updated Windows sources to use zlib 1.2.2).

   Bugs fixed:
     * Properly detect and handle errors from libtiff APIs while writing
     TIFF files which could result in corrupted output files. This fix is
     particularly important when the installed libtiff does not support
     LZW compression.
     * Fix writing 16-bit (or larger) grayscale TIFF on little-endian
     machines.
     * Better detect and report defective GIF files (sometimes crashed due
     to bad access).
     * Ensure that MIFF files indicate the compression type which was
     actually used.
     * Eliminate warning regarding module registration which occured for
     JNG in some build configurations (when libjpeg was missing).
     * Documentation fixes.

   Improvements:
     * Display GraphicsMagick logo rather than ImageMagick logo in
     'display' Commmands widget.
     * TclMagick updated to latest version.
     * Use latest Automake (1.9.3).
     * Libpng updated. Updated Windows sources to use libpng version 1.2.7.
