GNU Mailman went into a infinite loop.  I tried a number of things to fix
this to no avail.  I had to export the lists, reinstall Mailman from
scratch, and then rebuild the lists.  In the process I'm sure a number
of recent postings to the list were lost and perhaps some folks privacy
options were reset.  Please recheck your mailing list options and see if you
agree with them.  See

Announcing ImageMagick 5.4.5

The ImageMagick Studio LLC development group announces the release of
ImageMagick 5.4.5.  Version 5.4.5 is a feature release but also resolves
bugs reported against 5.4.4.

ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write,
and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 72 major formats)
including popular formats like FlashPIX, GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG, Photo CD,
SVG, TIFF, and WMF.  With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically,
making it suitable for Web applications.  You can also resize, rotate,
sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your
completed work in the same or differing image format.  Image processing
operations are available from the command line, as well as through C,
C++, and PERL-based programming interfaces.

ImageMagick is copyrighted by ImageMagick Studio, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to making software imaging solutions freely available.
ImageMagick is available for free, may be used to support both open and
proprietary applications, and may be redistributed without fee.

Significant changes from the 5.4.2 release (see release ChangeLog
for details):

  o General:

    - Initial IMDisplay GUI released for Microsoft Windows. Included in
      VisualMagick build.

    - WMF renderer inlines composite images in MVG output so that
      generated MVG files are completely stand-alone.

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

libwmf-0.2.5 (a.k.a. 'Poly the ex-Parrot')
------------------------------------------

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 Studio needs your sponsorship

ImageMagick Studio is the core team of developers that maintains and
enhances ImageMagick.  The developers work on a voluntary basis using
their own personal resources to pay for network connections,
computers, and software, required to support ImageMagick.

In order to ensure that ImageMagick is of the highest quality,
ImageMagick Studio is looking for a sponsor (or sponsors) who is
willing to purchase one or more licenses for Rational's Purify, and
Gimpel FlexLint and donate the licenses to ImageMagick Studio.
ImageMagick is very complex software and these tools will help us
ensure that each release is production quality.

There are a number of commercial products and many commercial web
sites that depend on ImageMagick.  Sponsoring ImageMagick will be good
for your business.

See http://www.imagemagick.org/www/sponsor.html for how to become an
ImageMagick sponsor.

Thanks,

Bob
