I’ve just uploaded RMagick 1.13.0 to RubyForge. Here’s a summary of the  
changes:

o Installable with RubyGems 0.9.0

o Added Image#auto\_orient and Image#auto\_orient!. This method uses the  
EXIF  
orientation tag to automatically orient an image (suggestion from John  
Oordopjes)

o Added Image#transform and #transverse, and their in-place equivalents.

o Added Image#adaptive\_sharpen and #adaptive\_sharpen\_channel

o Added Image#radial\_blur\_channel

o Fixed bug #4806, add Pixel#hash and #eql? methods (bug report from  
Tim P.)

o Fixed bug #4821, correct the documentation for Image#rotate (bug  
report  
from Tim P.)

o Many other documentation fixes and updates

If you plan on installing this version with RubyGems please read the  
Release Notes ([http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release\_id=5815](http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=5815))  
before installing this release.

If you’re using a web hosting service and it has a very old version of  
RMagick installed, please consider asking your service provider to  
upgrade. I’ve fixed several memory leaks in recent releases so if you’re  
running into memory usage problems with your web app upgrading could  
really pay off.

RMagick is available as always from RubyForge:  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/).

RMagick is an interface to the ImageMagick ([www.imagemagick.org](http://www.imagemagick.org)) and  
GraphicsMagick ([www.graphicsmagick.org](http://www.graphicsmagick.org)) image processing libraries.  
RMagick supports more than 90 image formats, including GIF, JPEG, PNG.  
It includes RVG, a 2D drawing API. RMagick comes with comprehensive HTML  
documentation.
