I opened a "call for discussion" issue on github for precisely this discussion: https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/issues/25 I'm OK with keeping ImageMagick support in the code, so long as we can pitch the 15-year-old ifdefed workarounds for old, busted API issues. -- Tom Russo KM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
