GraphicsMagick 1.1.5 is now released.  Please see the Download link at 
http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ for how to download GraphicsMagick. 
Until the files are made available at SourceForge, they may be 
downloaded from the master ftp site at 
"ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/".

The following are the major changes since GraphicsMagick 1.1.4:

   Security Fixes:

     o Fixed vulnerability associated with reading PSD files. See
     http://lwn.net/Articles/119713/ for details.

   Incompatible changes:
     o The interpretation of -modulate's (and similar C/C++/Perl API) hue
     argument is altered since the previous definition did not work. Hue
     argument now represents a rotation from -180 degrees to +180 degrees
     expressed as an argument of 0 to 2.0 (1.0 for no change).
     o FlashPIX library sources are no longer distributed in the Windows
     source package and building FlashPIX is disabled by default.  FlashPIX
     may still be built by adding the library (separately distributed).

   Bugs fixed:
     o TrueColor 16-bits/sample RGB images were being written incorrectly
     on little-endian CPUs.
     o Ensure that data can not overwrite the stack in the Windows
     readdir/opendir emulation functions.
     o For BMP and DIB, properly handle oversized colormaps in order to
     avoid heap corruption.
     o Reading TIFFs with more than one strip was broken.
     o Obscure error-path memory leak fix for GIF coder.
     o Automatically discover Ghostscript fonts under latest Cygwin.
     o Gmdisplay now converts the image colorspace to RGB while reading
     so that it displays correctly.

   Improvements:
     o Handle JP2 images in YCBCR colorspace. Retrieve color profiles from
     JP2 images.
     o TGA coder now writes grayscale images if appropriate.
     o LCMS in Windows package updated to version 1.14.
