Announcing ImageMagick 6.2.9

ImageMagick Studio LLC announces the release of ImageMagick 6.2.9.  It is
currently mirroring and should be available world-wide within 48 hours.

ImageMagick®, version 6.2.9, is a software suite to create, edit, and compose
bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a large variety of
formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various effects can be
applied, images can be rotated and combined, and text, lines, polygons,
ellipses and Bézier curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated.

ImageMagick is free software delivered with full source code and can be freely
used, copied, modified and distributed. Its license is compatible with the
GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.

Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from the
command line; more often, however, the features are used from programs written
in the programming languages C, Ch, C++, Java, Lisp, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Python, Ruby, Tcl/Tk, for which ready-made ImageMagick interfaces (MagickCore,
MagickWand, PerlMagick, Magick++, PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RMagick,
TclMagick, L_Magick, and JMagick) are available. This makes it possible to
modify or create images automatically and dynamically.

ImageMagick supports many image formats (about 100) including formats like
GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX.
Features and Capabilities

Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:

    * Format conversion: convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG
    * to JPEG).
    * Tranform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image.
