A few more words about issue #4 above. I'd like rewrite our IM modules using higher-level MagickWand interface, (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-wand.php) , with hope that this cause to us less troubles than past.
Update 20070718: OK, import layer port to Wand Interface done, and it was less painful than expected, so far. This task touched import_im, import_imlist and probe_im. Porting export layer (export_im) too isn't a problem, but it looks pretty useless since porting filter layer is out of (my) scope yet. The key problem isn't the port itself, but the fact that a couple of filters deserve a review and/or a rewrite in the process, and that - no need to say - will add more things to test, debug and stuff. So, I'm oriented to update import layer only and maybe release a later 1.1.x finishing the port.
From build process viewpoint, Wand interface seems to use a slightly
different configuration, but in the end both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS looks exactly the same than previous API (at least this emerged from my tests done so far), so I'd like to temporary dismiss this issue. Expect new IM code to be committed in a few hours in both trunks (pre-1.0.4 and pre-1.1.0). Bests, -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt
