This directory contains dated snapshot distributions of GraphicsMagick. Although we consider the package to be of high quality (e.g. all snapshots pass the test suite as part of their production process), these snapshot distributions are made available for test purposes so it is possible that there are bugs which will be fixed in the release. The following is a summary of the files which may be present: X.X is the release version target (e.g. 1.3) YYYYMMDD is the snapshot year, month, and day. Please note that the release version target is not particularly useful. Development snapshots targeting 1.3 are called 1.4*. The snapshot date is more meaningful than the package version. Base source archive (bz2, gzip, lzip, and xz formats): GraphicsMagick-X.X-0YYYYMMDD.tar.[bz2|gz|lzma|xz] - bz2 is supported by bzip2 from "http://www.bzip.org/" - gz is supported by gzip from "http://www.gzip.org/" - lz is supported by lzip from "http://lzip.nongnu.org/lzip.html" - xz is supported by XZ Utils from "http://tukaani.org/xz/" Windows source archive (7-Zip format). See http://www.7-zip.org/ for information on 7-Zip. Includes integrated source for all 3rd-party libraries ("delegates"). Archive is built from a "live" CVS checkout so it can be used as a faster way to get started with CVS. Once the sources have been extracted, you can do a 'cvs update' (provided that you have installed cvs.exe) to quickly update to the very latest version: GraphicsMagick-X.X-YYYYMMDD-winXX.[7z|zip] Windows ('win32' is 32 bit, and 'win64' is 64-bit) Dynamic-Multithread (DLL-based) install package with utilities, PerlMagick, DLLs, and web pages: GraphicsMagick-X.X-YYYYMMDD-Q8-winXX-dll.exe Windows Static-Multithread package including the utilities and web pages: GraphicsMagick-X.X-YYYYMMDD-Q8-winXX-static.exe
