From: Tim Hunter Date: 2007-12-29T01:11:25+09:00 Subject: [ANN] RMagick 2.0.0 RMagick 2.0.0 is now available at RubyForge [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/]. You can read all about this release here: [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/rmagick2.html] You should use RMagick 2 instead of RMagick 1 if 1) You want to use RMagick with Ruby 1.9.0. RMagick 2 works with 1.9.0. RMagick 1 does not. 2) You want to use new ImageMagick functionality. RMagick 1 maintenance is limited to bug fixes. New ImageMagick functionality will appear in RMagick 2. 3) You want to have better control over RMagick's memory usage. RMagick 2 has two new methods - Image#destroy! and Magick.trace_proc= - that can help you manage the memory used by images in your programs. You should stick with RMagick 1 if 1) You want to use older releases of ImageMagick or Ruby. 2) You want to use RMagick with GraphicsMagick. RMagick 2 has different prerequisites and is very slightly incompatible with RMagick 1, so be sure to read the web page before you download it. The detailed ChangeLog is here [http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=17446] Please report bugs on RMagick's bug tracker [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=12]. You can ask questions in the RMagick Help Forum [http://rubyforge.org/forum/?group_id=12], or contact me directly at rmagick AT rubyforge DOT org. Enjoy! -- RMagick 2 [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/rmagick2.html]
