Version 1.3 of GraphicsMagick
Release Notes: This release is a significant re-write to support multi-core systems via OpenMP, unlocking the full performance of today's multi-core CPUs, and being fully prepared for the future. Performance is currently much better than ImageMagick for most operations. Note that OpenMP is not currently tested or enabled under Microsoft Windows, although it may work. Additional enhancements include a 'compare' subcommand, a secure operating mode for servers, and a large number of bug and security fixes.
