Announcing GraphicsMagick 1.1.6

GraphicsMagick 1.1.6 is now available for download.  All users of 
previous versions are encouraged to upgrade.  The best way to obtain 
released GraphicsMagick is from SourceForge via the link 
"http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485". Files 
may also be downloaded from the GraphicsMagick master ftp site at 
"ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/".

The following are the ignificant changes since release 1.1.5:

   Improvements:
     o Performance enhancements to internal string handling.
     o Save monochrome and grayscale flags in MPC format so that
     subsequent saving to a monochrome or grayscale format is faster.

   Bugs fixed:
     o Memory leak fix to IsPaletteImage().
     o Resource tracking (leak) fix to pixel cache code. After processing
     many images, GraphicsMagick started running slower due to incorrectly
     using a disk-based pixel cache rather than RAM.
     o Fixed assertion encountered when displaying a large image using
     MacOS's X11.
     o JBIG output was an empty file for some versions of libjbig.
     o PDF output no longer causes warnings with Ghostscript 8.5.
     o Added cast to double for integer arguments to pow() which seems
     necessary since Visual C++ 7.0 and later don't seem to understand
     that the argument to pow() is a double.
     o The -convolve option was not working.  Convolution was working at
     the API level.

   Security Fixes:

     o Defend against malevolent pnm "P7" files.
