GraphicsMagick 1.3.3 is now available.  The main focus for getting 
this release out today is due to a bug added in 1.3.2.  Regardless, 
we found the opportunity to add some more performance and capacity 
improvements.

You may downoad the release from SourceForge at
"http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73485" or visit 
the web site at "http://www.graphicsmagick.org/".

The following are the changes since GraphicsMagick 1.3.2 in this 
release:

Security Fixes:

   * None.

Bug fixes:

   * 'identify' was throwing an assertion when used on colormapped
     files (this bug was introduced by 1.3.2).

   * With the -segment option, eliminate trashing the image colors when
     used on huge images.

   * 'identify -format "%c"' now reports the entire comment regardless
     of size.

   * Argument to -convolve is no longer arbitrarily truncated so huge
     convolution kernels may now be specified from the command line.

Performance Improvements:

   * Image segmentation (-segment) is now accelerated using OpenMP and
     uses several other tactics to improve execution performance.

   * 'identify "*"' now successfully works in a 32-bit application when
     used in a directory containing a million files.

   * 'identify' now executes quickly when used on TIFF files.


Thanks,

Bob
