This directory contains beta distributions of GraphicsMagick. Beta
distributions are release-level packages which are distributed to a large
user base in order to obtain any comments or bug reports prior to the
final release. The packages are considered to be stable and reliable
software, and it is highly unlikely that any interfaces will change in
the final release.

These beta distributions are currently based on the HEAD branch in
GraphicsMagick CVS.

   X.X is the release version target (e.g. 1.2)
