GraphicsMagick
GraphicsMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 90 major formats including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, JPEG-2000,PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, SVG, and GIF. A high-quality 2D renderer is included, which provides a subset of SVG capabilities. C, C++, Perl, Tcl, and Ruby are supported. Originally based on ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick focuses on performance, minimizing bugs, and providing stable APIs and ABIs. It runs on all modern variants of Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Recent releases
- 27 Jan 2009 10:02
Changes: A minor security issue with BMP and DIB files was fixed. Installation issues with the Linux SRPM should be resolved. Issues with the Windows binary install package should also be resolved.
- 16 Jan 2009 00:18
Changes: This release brings multi-threaded support under Windows for faster processing on multi-core systems. Large files are now supported under Windows. Support for small floats (16/24 bits) and 64-bit integers has been added for the TIFF format.

Changes: An assertion that was thrown when using "identify" on colormapped image files was eliminated. The image segmentation algorithm was accelerated with OpenMP and was tuned to work for huge images. Some arbitrary command line argument limits were removed. Using "identify" on a million files in the same directory is now supported. "identify" is now very fast when used on TIFF files.

Changes: This release fixes a number of minor bugs, such as a memory leak and a wrong preview parameter. The performance was improved even more over the previous release. The ability to selectively strip embedded profiles (based on an exclusion list) was added. The bugs fixed are minor and mostly inherited from ImageMagick.

Changes: Speed was improved. The system benchmarks even better against ImageMagick than before. Multi-threading was tuned based on exhaustive testing on many systems. Image rotate by 90 and 270 degrees is now multi-threaded. The MSL/conjure utility is fixed and no longer leaks memory. The RPM build is also fixed.
