• Register with the web-based ImageMagick Discourse Server to create, moderate or join ongoing discussions about ImageMagick.

• ImageMagick may be built with 32-bit quantum depth support, allowing color components to be stored with 32-bits of precision.

• ImageMagick automatically discovers (and uses) the Ghostscript DLL or executable under Windows.

• ImageMagick now supports Scalable Vector Format (SVG) files.

• Support for Wireless BitMap, used in WAP - Wireless Access Protocol, was contributed by Milan Votava.

• ImageMagick 5.0 uses substantially less memory than previous versions. If the the memory requirements exceeds available RAM, all subsequent image operations are performed on disk to conserve memory.

• ImageMagick 5.0 utilizes memory-mapped I/O on machines that support it. This feature can be a substantial speed-up for image operations.

• PerlMagick includes 300+ regression tests invoked with make test.

• ImageMagick now automatically invokes pgpv to decrypt a PGP encrypted image when the filename ends in .pgp.

• ImageMagick supports the FlashPix image format under NT/Win95.

• PerlMagick now works on NT and Win95 computers.

• Support for TrueType fonts is now available as a delegate within ImageMagick

• Create 3-D web screamers with ScreamerMagick.

• Convert or manipulate images directly from a Web page with MagickStudio.

• Text is now antialiased when rendering Postscript.

• Subimages can now be specified in any order. For example, image.miff[3,2], image.miff[11-1], or image.miff[1,2,2,3].
