GraphicsMagick 1.2.5 is now available.  This is primarily a bugfix 
release but it does add one new interesting feature.  Raw digital 
camera formats are now recognized based on file extension and passed 
to the existing 'dcraw' delegate.  Testing with many raw files shows 
that this feature works very well.

The following are the updates since 1.2.4:

Security Fixes:

   * None.

Bug fixes:

   * TIFF: Eliminated a memory leak in the codec support detection code.

   * JPEG: Removed over-write of image->client_data.

   * PNG: Fixed crash when writing PNG images with transparency and either
     optimize is requested, or the image is colormapped.


Feature improvements:

   * A file extension proxy module is used to automatically map from
     common camera raw format extensions to dcraw so that camera RAW
     images are loaded automatically using 'dcraw' or similar program
     as defined via the 'dcraw' entry in delegates.mgk.

   * ThresholdImage() uses a new implementation backported from the
     development version which attempts to avoid unnecessary image
     updates.

As usual, GraphicsMagick may be downloaded from SourceForge at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485 and 
information about GraphicsMagick may be found at its web site at 
http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/.

Thanks,

Bob
