GraphicsMagick 1.3.2 Released

I am happy to announce the release of GraphicsMagick 1.3.2. This 
release is ABI and API compatible with previous 1.3.X releases.  This 
release contains additional bug fixes and performance enhancements.

The continued performance enhancements are pretty remarkable given 
that the processing performance is already 2X to 5X better than the 
ImageMagick 5.5.2 release from whence GraphicsMagick started, and that 
is not even considering the multiplying factor of the multi-core 
support (e.g. 4X becomes 16X on 4 core hardware).

To date, no problems have been reported with the OpenMP updates in 
GraphicsMagick 1.3.X, in spite of the many thousands of downloads.

Download the release from 
"https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485".  Visit 
the GraphicsMagick web page at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/.

The following are the updates for this release since 1.3.1:

Security Fixes:

   * None.

Bug fixes:

   * -roll was failing for colormapped images.

   * VID: Memory leak fix.

   * PREVIEW: Solarize parameter was wrong.

   * Delegates previously using 'spawn' needed an ampersand so that
     starting the child process does not hang the GUI.

Feature improvements:

   * +profile now supports an exclusion syntax.  For example ``+profile
     '!icm,*'`` removes all of the profiles except for the ICM profile.
     The new syntax also allows multiple profiles to be listed at once.

Performance Improvements:

   * AdaptiveThreshold, Blur, Convolve, and MotionBlur no longer
     process the opacity channel unless the image has one.

Thanks,

Bob
