I’ve just uploaded RMagick 1.14.0 to RubyForge. There have been many,  
many  
changes since the previous release. Here’s the highlights:

o For those folks who are familiar with the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick  
commands and options, I’ve added a new page to the documenation  
titled  
“Magick Command Options and Their Equivalent Methods”. This page is  
a  
side-by-side comparison of ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick options and  
RMagick  
methods. If you have a favorite Magick shell script this table will  
help you  
convert it to Ruby.

o New support for CMYK-\>RGB conversion: the two new methods  
add\_profile and  
delete\_profile, and the black\_point\_compensation attribute. I’ve  
also  
cleaned up the existing profile!, iptc\_profile, and color\_profile  
methods.

o Four new compositing methods: blend, displace, dissolve, and  
watermark.

o Use the new find\_similar\_region method to determine if an image  
overlaps  
part (or all) of another image.

o Two new methods for reading IPTC profile data: get\_iptc\_dataset and  
each\_iptc\_dataset.

o Two new methods in the “adaptive” group: adaptive\_blur and  
adaptive\_resize.

And that’s not all. See the Change Log for details.

RMagick is available as always from RubyForge:  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/). (This release is not yet  
available for  
MS Windows.) The RMagick home page is [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org).

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.
