In IM 6.7.4.10, the string format from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php was named %[maxima] (likewise minima). Currently it is named %[max] (likewise min). Can someone tell me what release this change was made? I need to put version traps in some of my scripts as they are not working as they used to due to the rename. I do not see anything that identifies when this occurred in the changelog at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php

Thanks.

Fred

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I will still need to know when the change occurred to be able to make versions of IM between when it was changed and now work as well as those before it was changed.

I checked my settings notes. and I only saw "max" and "min" for these settings when I went though the escape properties code. (Not finished yet, had to take a break to deal with family matters).

I got around it by using a test to see which one fails, max vs maxima.
