GraphicsMagick 1.1.14 is now available.  This is a bug-fix release to 
the release series started four years ago.  As usual, the release is a 
drop-in replacement to previous 1.1.X releases.

The most significant fixes in this release are to make GraphicsMagick 
more resistant to intentionally defective image files which try to 
crash the software which reads them.  This release fixes a few more 
issues that I became aware of.  There are still outstanding issues 
with JPEG2000 files which seem to be due to problems in the Jasper 
library.

I will soon release GraphicsMagick 1.2.3 which cures these same issues 
in the 1.2.X release series.

The following are the changes in this release:

   Bugs Fixed:

     o Noise generation was not working correctly for anything but a Q8 build.

     o Poisson noise generator was extremely slow.  Now it is reasonably fast.

     o PDF reader now computes bounding box for rotated PDFs correctly.

   Security Fixes:

     o Cineon reader: Fixed crash with broken file from Sami Liedes.

     o PICT reader: Fixed crash with broken files from Sami Liedes.

     o XCF reader: Fixed crash with broken files from Sami Liedes.

   Security Issue Not Fixed:

     o JP2/JPC reader: Several JPEG-2000 files from Sami Liedes broken collection
       cause crashes in Jasper.  This is not GraphicsMagick's fault.

As usual, you can download GraphicsMagick releases from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485 or visit 
the web site at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/.
