GraphicsMagick 1.2.3 is now available.  The primary purpose of this 
release is to avoid crashing when reading some carefully crafted 
"broken" files.  Several other bugs have been fixed as well.

The following are the significant changes since 1.2.2:

Security Fixes:

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

   * Palm reader: Fixed crash with broken files from Sami Liedes.

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

   * DPX reader: Validate file data better to avoid improper operation with
     intentionally (or accidentally) defective files.

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

Security Issue Not Fixed:

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

Bug fixes:

   * Noise generators were only working properly for Q8 build.

Currently only source packages are available.  I plan to build the 
Windows binaries tomorrow.  As usual, the software can be downloaded 
from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485 or 
you can visit the web site at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/.

Thanks,

Bob
