<h3><A HREF="../ImageMagick.html">ImageMagick</A> 4.2.3, May 1, 1999</h3>
<ul>
<li> Bessel and point filters now works properly (bug alert by
<a href="mailto:deanm@sharplabs.com">Dean S. Messing</a>).
<p>
<li> Updated VMS Make files (thanks to pmoreau@cena.dgac.fr).
<p>
<li> Added TrueType font path support (patch provided by
<a href="mailto:Alexander.Zimmermann@FMI.Uni-Passau.De">Dr. Alexander Zimmermann</a>).
<p>
<li> Added MNG MHDR and FRAM chunks (patch provided by
<a href="mailto:glennrp@netgsi.com">Glenn Randers-Pehrson</a>).
<p>
<li> Added Seattle Film Works file format to ImageMagick.
<p>
<li> Previously CMYK images were automatically converted to RGB.  They now
stay in the CMYK colorspace unless you use -colorspace RGB or write to
an RGB-only image format such as GIF.
<p>
<li> Added methods <tt>CreateImage</tt> and <tt>GetPixels</tt> to make
using float arrays of pixels easier.
<p>
<li> Fixed GS delegate to get around a Ghostscript bug for device pnmraw
(bug report by <a href="mailto:tjb@unh.edu">Thomas Baker</a>).
<p>
<li> Added ImageMagick User's Guide to the distribution.  See ImageMagick/docs
directory.
<p>
<li> Drawing primitives are antialiased now 
(source patches by <a href="mailto:rmabry@server1.softdisk.com">Rick Mabry</a>).
<p>
<li> Several API changes were made to accomodate Magick++, the C++
ImageMagick API wrapper (suggested by
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">Bob Friesenhahn</a>).
<p>
<li> Several API changes were made to make the ImageMagick API thread safe
(suggested by <a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">Bob Friesenhahn</a>).
<p>
<li> Odd size widths or height now work properly when encoding MPEG.
<p>
<li> Montage was sometimes freeing the wrong memory location causing a memory
fault.
<p>
<li> Added @filename to <tt>-pen</tt>.  Use with <tt>-draw</tt>, for example,
<p>
<pre>
convert -pen @brush.gif -fuzz 20 -draw "color 300,200 floodfill" image.jpg draw.png
</pre>
<p>
(source patches by <a href="mailto:rmabry@server1.softdisk.com">Rick Mabry</a>).
<p>
<li> Improved ImplodeImage, WaveImage, and SwirlImage methods
(source patches by <a href="mailto:rmabry@server1.softdisk.com">Rick Mabry</a>).
<p>
<li> Added pyramid-encoded TIFF (i.e. <tt>convert image.jpg
ptif:image.tif[64x64]</tt>).
Source patches by Keith Trummel, Island Graphics.
<p>
<li> Added IPTC support to tiff and jpeg.
(source patches by <a href="mailto:mike@onshore.com">Michael L. Welles</a>).
<p>
<li> Changed the way decoders and encoders are handled.  They are now
specified in the file <tt>magick.gperf</tt> (concept and source patches by
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">Bob Friesenhahn</a>).
<p>
<li> Added <tt>-gravity</tt> to improve annotation handling (suggested by
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">Bob Friesenhahn</a>).
<p>
<li> Added steganographic capabilities to <b>ImageMagick</b>.  Look for the
<tt>-steganograph</tt> option of
<A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A> and the STEGO format.
<p>
<li> Added method <tt>MorphImage</tt> to <b>PerlMagick</b>.
<p>
<li> Changed the way delegates are handled.  They are now specified in the
file <tt>delegates.mgk</tt> (suggested by and initial design thanks to
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">Bob Friesenhahn</a>).
<p>
<li> Added support for MPEG2 and removed the requirement for the MPEG
delegate.  Instead a different decoder/encoder is required.  See README.txt
for details.
<p>

<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a>).
<p>
<li> Added FillToBorder paint method (the anti-Floodfill algorithm).
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/import.html"><I>Import</I></A> can now grab a sequence
of images from an X server screen.  This is useful for creating an
image animation.
<p>
<li> Added Unicode support for TrueType fonts (patch provided by
<a href="mailto:smh@sophos.com">smh@sophos.com</a>).
<p>
<li> Added color profile support for JPEG, MIFF, and TIFF image formats.
<p>

(thanks to <a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">
bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a>).
<p>
<li> Improved GNU configure scripts (thanks to
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a>).
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 4.0.[0-9], September 1, 1998</h3>
<ul>
<p>
<p>
<li> The execution speed of ImageMagick has been improved anywhere from
10-30 percent for images of high spatial frequency.  On average expect about a
15% improvement over version 4.0.7.
<p>
<li>Converting a pure white image no longer produces a black bitmap.
<p>
<li> Scanned images were needlessly being runlength encoded and decoded
(scanned images typically do not benefit from runlength encoding).
(thanks for the alert from <a href="mailto:BillR@corbis.com">Bill Radcliffe</a>).
<p>
<li> Added support for sRGB and image chromaticity.
<p>
<li> Most image processing loops were sped-up by using a local variable
rather than <tt>image->runlength</tt>.  
<p>
<li> Image resizing no longer introduces a moire pattern (thanks
for the alert from <a href="mailto:BillR@corbis.com">Bill Radcliffe</a>).
<p>
<li> Added <tt>-filter</tt> to the command line utilities.  Also added
more filters.  
<p>
<li> Consolidated the memory allocation routines in <tt>magick/memory.c</tt>.
This also fixed a rare PerlMagick memory leak that only occurred when
PerlMagick was running out of memory and realloc(3) was called.
<p>
<li> Use <tt>-page 612x792&gt;</tt> to center an image on a Postscript page.
This used to be the default behavior.
<p>
<li> Added additional checks for corrupt BMP images.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/perl.html">PerlMagick</A> detects duplicate images
in an array (stack).  Previously it would go into an infinite loop.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/montage.html"><I>Montage</I></A> and
<A HREF="../www/perl.html">PerlMagick</A> no longer lop image labels when
using TrueType fonts.
<p>
<li> <b>-density</b> previously caused PCL images to fault when writing.
<p>
<li> Added <b>-append</b> to <A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A>.
It is a fast memory efficient way to append images to each other
(e.g. <tt>convert -append header.tif body.tif trailer.tif news.tif</tt>).
<p>
<li> Some 3072x2048 PhotoCD images no longer go into an infinite loop (thanks
to <a href="mailto:BillR@corbis.com">Bill Radcliffe</a>).
<p>
<li> Win95/WinNT users, use <tt>convert image win:</tt> to display on
your computer screen.
<p>
<li> You can now view TrueType fonts directly (if you have the TTF
delegate): <tt>display TimesRoman.ttf</tt>.
<p>
<li> Fixed a number of fine-grain problems with ImageMagick and PerlMagick
related to text annotation (e.g. some FreeType text was lopped in the
last character of a string).
<p>
<li> Added support for the Adobe Photoshop (PSD) image format.
<p>
<li> Methods <em>Replace</em> and <em>Reset</em> of the draw method and
command line option stopped working in release 4.0.5.  This is now fixed.
<p>
<li> Added <b>-align</b> to <A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A>
and <A HREF="../www/mogrify.html"><I>mogrify</I></A>.  Use it in concert
with the <b>-draw</b> option to align text.
<p>
<li> ImageMagick can now read Macintosh PICT images under NT.
<p>
<li> Converting large images (> 2000x2000) to PDF with Flate compression
(the default if you include the ZLIB delegate) no longer produces corrupt
images.
<p>
<li> The <tt>matte</tt> attribute can now be set in PerlMagick.  Previously
you could only get this attribute.
<p>
<li> Improved GNU configure scripts (thanks to
<a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a>).
<p>
<li> The draw command can now accept floating point values.  Drawing is
upwards of 15 times faster now (only bounding area is check for
intersection).
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:Ashley.Dreier@mlb.dmt.csiro.au">
Ashley.Dreier@mlb.dmt.csiro.au</a> for the <tt>-sample</tt>
bug report.  
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:zimmer@baird1.ime.nrc.ca">
zimmer@baird1.ime.nrc.ca</a> for alerting me to an error in the
color reduction algorithm.  In some cases, outlier colors were not
being merged properly.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">
bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a> for the automake configuration files.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:randeg@alumni.rpi.edu">
randeg@alumni.rpi.edu</a> for suggestions on improving PNG compression
(see <tt>-quality</tt>).
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:erikhan@microsoft.com">
erikhan@microsoft.com</a> and <a href="mailto:BillR@corbis.com">
Bill Radcliffe</a> for an updated Visual C++ workspace.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/perl.html">PerlMagick</A> now works under NT.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 3.9.[0-3], December 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:mccarthy@hndymn.zko.dec.com">
Brian J. McCarthy</a> for patches to compile ImageMagick under 
OpenVMS V7.1.
<p>
<li> Added support for TrueType fonts.  Requires the TTF delegate.  See the
<A HREF="../www/install.html">installation</A> instructions for details.
<p>
<li> Added a support for LABEL image format (e.g. <tt>label:This is a
label</tt>).
<p>
<li> Made all delays a uniform <i>1/100th of a second</i>.  Previously
times were different for each program, seconds for 
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>, milliseconds for
<A HREF="../www/animate.html"><I>animate</I></A>, and 1/100th of a second for
<A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A>.  This caused problems
for <A HREF="../www/perl.html">PerlMagick</A>.
<p>
<li> Previous version of ImageMagick left shared memory segments around
after exiting.  This problem is fixed and a signal handler has been added
to ensure the segments are deleted even if the program is interrupted.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:randeg@alumni.rpi.edu">
Glenn Randers-Pehrson</a> for patches to generate proper CRC chunks for
the MNG image format.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:tenthumbs@CYBERNEX.NET">
tenthumbs@CYBERNEX.NET</a> for the patches to <tt>Makefile.in</tt> to
allow the creation of shared libraries under <tt>Linux</tt>.
<p>
<li> Enable LZW compression with <tt>-HasLZW</tt>.  See
<tt>Magick.tmpl</tt> or <tt>Makefile.in</tt>.
<p>
<li> Added Zlib compression to PDF output.
<p>
<li> Change <tt>-page</tt> to allow greater control over the placement
of an image on the Postscript or PDF page.
<p>
<li> Added <tt>-ping</tt> to <A HREF="../www/identify.html">
  <I>identify</I></A> to efficiently determine an image characteristics.
<p> 
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca">
michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca</a> who discovered a bug in the MPEG 1.2
library that causes a segmentation fault.  The patched distribution can
be found as <a href=ftp://204.183.81.131/pub/ImageMagick/delegates/>
ftp://204.183.81.131/pub/ImageMagick/delegates/mpeg_lib-1.2.tar.gz</a>.
<p>
<li> Bi-level PS2 and PDF images are now 2-D Huffman encoded resulting in
about a 50% space savings (if HasTIFF is defined).
<p>
<li> Changed routine <tt>CompressImage</tt> to <tt>CondenseImage</tt> to
avoid name conflicts on the Macintosh PPC environment.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:TRhodes@inri.co.uk">Tim Rhodes</a> for
discovering the new optimization introduced in version 3.8.8 for importing
windows from an X server had a bug in it.  Windows with differing colormaps
or visuals from the default are now saved quickly and properly.  Previously
importing a window from the server screen could take up to 3 minutes.
<p>
<li> Plugged a couple of memory leaks associated with the new routine,
<tt>PingImage</tt>.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:spd@daphne.cps.unizar.es">
spd@daphne.cps.unizar.es</a> for contributing the Macintosh PICT
reader.
<p>
<li> Use <tt>-compress JPEG</tt> to create JPEG compressed TIFF images.
<p>
<li> Added TIFF CMYK support.  Use <tt>-colorspace cmyk</tt> to invoke it.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 3.8.[7-9], August 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:BillR@corbis.com">Bill Radcliffe</a> for
contributing the Visual C++ workspaces.
<p>
<li> Added numeric error and warning codes to make it easier for
<A HREF="../www/perl.html">PerlMagick</A> scripts to handle errors.
<p>
<li> You can now write a X Motif UIL icon.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/import.html"><I>Import</I></A> was optimized to avoid
unecessary image grabs from the server which greatly improves elapsed time
in some cases.
<p>
<li>ImageMagick now uses text anti-aliasing when rendering Postscript.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/perl.html"><I>PerlMagick</I></A> now can interactively
display an image or animate an image sequence.
<p>
<li> Subimages can now be specified in any order.  For example,
<tt>image.miff[3,2]</tt>, <tt>image.miff[11-1]</tt>, or
<tt>image.miff[1,2,2,3]</tt>.
<p>
<li>Added <tt>-remote</tt> to <A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>
and <A HREF="../www/animate.html"><I>animate</I></A>.  It allows you to
send a load image command to an already running executable.
<p>
<li>Added <tt>-silent</tt> to <A HREF="../www/import.html"><I>import</I></A>,
i.e. don't ring any bells.
<p>
<li>Duplicate entries in an image colormap are now automatically
eliminated.
<p>
<li><A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>Display</I></A> and
<A HREF="../www/animate.html"><I>animate</I></A> now support embedded
characters for the <tt>-title</tt> option (e.g. <tt>-title "%f[%s]"</tt>,
for filename and scene).
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>Display</I></A> no longer
crashes certain 24 bit Solaris servers.  The problem was related to
shared memory pixmaps.
<p>
<li> <A HREF="../www/montage.html"><I>Montage</I></A> now properly
reduce the number of colors in the output image when you specify
<tt>-colors</tt>.
<p>
<li> Renamed routine <tt>Error</tt> to <tt>MagickError</tt> and
<tt>Warning</tt> to <tt>MagickWarning</tt> to prevent conflicts with
existing routines within Perl (required for static compilation of
<A HREF="../www/perl.html"><I>PerlMagick</I></A>).
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 3.8.[4-6], June 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<li> ImageMagick 3.8.[4-6] brings together a number of minor changes made
to accomodate <A HREF="../www/perl.html"><I>PerlMagick</I></A> and
<a href=http://www.cyberramp.net/~bfriesen/webmagick/>WebMagick</a>.
<p>
<li> Thanks to <a href="mailto:bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us">
  bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us</a> for a Perl script that created the
  <A HREF="../www/api.html">Magick Application Programmer Interface
  documentation</a>.
<p>
<li> Lots of minor bugs fixes including multi-page TIFF decoding/encoding and
writing PNG.
<p>
<li> Accessing frame 0 of a PDF file no longer fails.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 3.8.[2-3], March 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<p>
<li> The default of <A HREF="../www/montage.html"><I>montage</I></A> have
changed to match that of <A HREF="../www/perl.html"><I>PerlMagick</I></A>.
<p>
<li> <tt>XMontageImage</tt> previously destroyed the images passed to it
and caused PerlMagick to fault.
<p>
<li> Added the <tt>-linewidth</tt> option to support non-filled
rectangles, circles, and polygons in <tt>-draw</tt> in
<A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A> and
<A HREF="../www/mogrify.html"><I>mogrify</I></A>.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>ImageMagick 3.8.1, February 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<li> <A HREF="../www/montage.html"><I>Montage</I></A> now defaults to
<tt>frame</tt> and <tt>shadow</tt> to false to match that of 
<A HREF="../www/perl.html"><I>PerlMagick</I></A>.
<p>
<li> ImageMagick can read/write multi-frame raw files such as GRAY and RGB.
<p>
<li> Added the <tt>-colorize</tt> option to

<A HREF="../www/mogrify.html"><I>mogrify</I></A>.
<p>
<li> Added better handling of image resolution for images of type
BMP, JPEG, PCX, PNG, and TIFF to ImageMagick (patch
provided by <a href="mailto:john@jwlab.feith.com">John Wehle</a>).
<p>
<li> Added a new format <tt>PLASMA</tt>, a plasma fractal image.  
Specify the base color as the filename (e.g. <tt>plasma:blue-yellow</tt>).  Use
<tt>fractal</tt> to initialize to a random value (e.g. <tt>plasma:fractal</tt>).
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.8.0, January 15, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<p>
<li> Added image thresholding to 
<A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A>,
<A HREF="../www/mogrify.html"><I>mogrify</I></A>, and
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>.
<p>
<li><A HREF="../www/animate.html"><I>Animate</I></A> displays a file
dialog when you type the command without any options.  This allows you
to animate an image sequence with the file browswer.
<p>
<p>
<li> If <tt>-dHasSharedMemory</tt> was defined, the data element of
an XImage structure was being assigned after it was freed (patch
provided by <a href="mailto:fifi.org">Philippe Troin</a>).
<p>
<li>Added a convenience option to 
<A HREF="../www/montage.html"><I>montage</I></A>, <tt>-mode</tt>. The
modes are <b>Frame</b>, <b>Unframe</b>, or <b>Concatenate</b>.  See the
manual for details.
<p>
<li> The color database queries are now cached.  This fixed a bug when
reading XPM images and also speeds up the query response.
<p>
<li> The system error (errno) is now reported when an error occurs.
<p>
<li> Use <tt>+map</tt> with <A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A>
to create a single global colormap across all images.  Previously this
was accomplished with <tt>mogrify -colors</tt>.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.7.9, January 1, 1997</h3>
<ul>
<li> Major infa-structure changes to libMagick in anticipation of the
Perl libMagick extension.  Please report if you get any assertion reports.
<p>
<li> Overloaded -rotate with <tt>&lt;</tt> and <tt>&gt;</tt>.  See the
manual pages for details.
<p>
<li> All images of type <b>MIFF</b> or <b>PNG</b> are now digitally signed
when written.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.7.8, December 15, 1996</h3>
<ul>
<li> Image Magic can one again be compiled with a strict C++ compiler.
<p>
<li> A Visual Image Directory can now be in the PNG format.  Previously
only the MIFF format was supported.
<p>
<li> Upgraded to the libpng 0.89 API.
<p>
<li> Fixed a memory overrun with the PNG image format (thanks to
<a href="mailto:bcr@feynman.com">Bill Riemers</a>)
<p>
<li> Added G3 compression to Postscript Level II and PDF image files.
<p>
<li> The ordering of the input files to
<A HREF="../www/combine.html"><I>combine</I></A> has changed over previous
versions.  Read the documentation for further details.
<p>
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.7.7, October 15, 1996</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> Convert an image to the Netscape colormap with:
<tt>convert -map netscape: image.gif netscape.gif</tt>.
<li> Added <tt>-displace</tt> to
<A HREF="../www/combine.html"><I>combine</I></A> and
<tt>Color Edit->Composite->Displace</tt> to 
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>.  This function allows you
shift image pixels as defined by a displacement map.
<p> Added a new interlace option, Partition. It is like
plane except the different planes are saved to individual files (e.g.
image.R, image.G, and image.B).  Note, that image format YUV3 has been
replaced (e.g. <tt>convert -interlace partition image.jpg yuv:image</tt>).
<p>
<li> For small images ZoomImage sometimes failed.  Also documentation
improvements to <A HREF="../www/xtp.html"><I>xtp</I></A> (fixes provided by
<a href="mailto:imdave@synet.net">Dave Bodenstab</a>)
<p>
<li> Multiline labels now work properly for the Postscript format.
<p>
<li> Added <tt>Miscellany->Show Preview</tt> to 
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>.  This function allows you
to preview the effects of different image operators at varying scales.
<p>
<li> Many of the keyboard accelerators have changed in
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>.  Review the documentation
for the new mapping between key presses and image commands.
<p>
<li> The <tt>-blend</tt> option of
<A HREF="../www/combine.html"><I>combine</I></A> now works properly.
<p>
<li> Added <tt>-average</tt> to the list of 
<A HREF="../www/convert.html"><I>convert</I></A> options.  This option
averages a set of images.
<p>
<li> Added <tt>+noise</tt> to add noise to an image.
<p>
<li> Use button 1 to do image editing operations in
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>display</I></A>.  Button 2 now consistently
maps the magnify window no matter what image edit mode you are in.
<p>
<li> Rather than a separate LZW kit, Image Magic now comes as two
distributions.  One with LZW compression and one without
(suggested by <a href="mailto:pederl@norway.hp.com">pederl@norway.hp.com</a>).
<p>
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.7.6, September 15, 1996</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> The geometry option now accepts floating point percentages
(e.g. <tt>convert -density 240 -geometry 33.33333% image.ps image.gif</tt>).
<p>
<li> You can now do file globbing on the Macintosh (e.g.
  <tt>-verbose *.tiff animate.gif</tt>).
<p>
<li> Added a smoothing threshold option to <tt>-segment</tt>
(suggested by <a href="mailto:pederl@norway.hp.com">pederl@norway.hp.com</a>).
<p>
<li> Added a new filter <tt>shade</tt> to shade grayscale images.
<p>
<li> Added a new command <b>Micellany->Show Matte</b> to
<A HREF="../www/display.html"><I>Display</I></A>
(suggested by <a href="mailto:pederl@norway.hp.com">pederl@norway.hp.com</a>).

<p>
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.6.2 </h3>
<ul>
<p>

<p>
<li> Reduced the memory requirements of many of the image encoders.
<p>
<li> Enhanced many of the image decoders to runlength encode the pixels (e.g.
  FAX, PNM, PCX, TIFF, etc.).  In some cases this can reduce the memory
  requirements by 10x (suggested by ghost@aladdin.com).
<p>
<li> Implemented hooks for the Portable Network Graphics image format.  Will
  add the read/write code when the reference implementation is available.
<p>
</ul>
<p>

<p>
<h3>Image Magic 3.4</h3>
<p>
Thanks to pmoreau@ada.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr for helping with the VMS
port and for supplying the JPEG, MPEG, TIFF and XPM VMS libraries.
<ul>
<p>
<li> Sometimes -geometry 200% produced a segmentation fault (thanks to

<p>
<li> Added -blend option to combine(1) (suggested by rjohnson@shell.com).
<p>
<li> The -colorspace gray option no longer overrides the -colors option (thanks
  to rjohnson@shell.com).
<p>
<li> You can now use wildcards under VMS (suggested by
  Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.Com).
<p>
<li> To make UNIX and VMS compatible you must now proceed wildcards with
  the prefix vid: to produce a Visual Image directory (e.g. vid:*.jpg).
<p>
<li> The File Browser now expands '~' to the home directory (suggested by
  pederl@norway.hp.com).
<p>
<li> If the target window of import(1) has the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property set
  or if XListInstalledColormaps returns a value greater than one, the image
  is obtained by descending the window hierarchy and reading each subwindow
  and its colormap. This is time consuming and is not always necessary.  Now
  import +descend will circumvent this behavior (suggested by
  charles@mvel.demon.co.uk).
<p>
<li> Some 1-bit TIFF images no longer cause a core dump (patch provided by
  erich@eye.com).

<p>
<li> Added better support for Image Magic under VMS (patches provided by
  pmoreau@cena.dgac.fr).
<p>
<li> Identify(1) requires a maximum of two arguments, not one (thanks to
  pbelding@qualcomm.com).
<p>
<li> TIFF can now be read on Dec Alpha's (thanks to
  Klaus.Moeller@arbi.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de).
<p>
<li> mogrify -map icon_colors.ppm -colors 15 no longer fails (thanks to
