This announcement regarding an updated libwmf should be of interest to
ImageMagick users who are interested in achieving the best possible
WMF renderings.

------------------------------------------

This is an interim release, largely unintended. libwmf-0.2.3 & 0.2.4 do not
exist, so please don't go looking for them. Dr Livingstone tried, and you know
what happened to him.

The major change is that libwmf now builds as two libraries:
1. libwmflite - the parser itself
2. libwmf     - utility functions, device layers, etc.

Special thanks to Michal Jaegermann for teaching me how to write RPM spec
files.

Finally, Bob Friesenhahn has done a lot of work getting ImageMagick to work
with libwmf. For best possible rendering of WMF images, I recommend you use
ImageMagick rather than the libwmf utilities.
