RMagick 2.0.0 is now available at RubyForge [[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick/)]. You can read all about this release here: [[http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/rmagick2.html](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/rmagick2.html)] You should use RMagick 2 instead of RMagick 1 if 1. You want to use RMagick with Ruby 1.9.0. RMagick 2 works with 1.9.0. RMagick 1 does not. 2. You want to use new ImageMagick functionality. RMagick 1 maintenance is limited to bug fixes. New ImageMagick functionality will appear in RMagick 2. 3. You want to have better control over RMagick’s memory usage. RMagick 2 has two new methods - Image#destroy! and Magick.trace\_proc= - that can help you manage the memory used by images in your programs. You should stick with RMagick 1 if 1. You want to use older releases of ImageMagick or Ruby. 2. You want to use RMagick with GraphicsMagick. RMagick 2 has different prerequisites and is very slightly incompatible with RMagick 1, so be sure to read the web page before you download it. The detailed ChangeLog is here [[http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release\_id=17446](http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=17446)] Please report bugs on RMagick’s bug tracker [[http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group\_id=12](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=12)].
