version of a stable, esp. bug free, ImageMagick

Post by NicolasRobidoux »

Any suggestions RE: an esp. server worthy, reasonably recent (September 2012 or after), version of ImageMagick?
Will be installed on CentOS 6.3. Compiled from source is fine.

Suggest you review the changelog at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php (though at the moment it is truncated, but the problem has been reported)

I have never installed IM on a server. If I did, I would give serious consideration to installing multiple versions, as I do on my home computer. In my experience, a bug-free version doesn't exist.

Essentially IM is such a large package that things are never really 'settled'. Things are always being improved, and new bugs found, or suggestions on old stuff.
