- version update to 1.3.35
Special Issues:
* It has been discovered that the 'ICU' library (a perhaps 30MB C++
library) which is now often a libxml2 dependendency causes huge
process initialization overhead. This is noticed as unexpected
slowness when GraphicsMagick utilities are used to process small to
medium sized files. The time to initialize the 'ICU' library is
often longer than the time that GraphicsMagick would otherwise
require to read the input file, process the image, and write the
output file. If the 'ICU' dependency can not be avoided, then make
sure to use the modules build so there is only impact for file
formats which require libxml2. Please lobby the 'ICU' library
developers to change their implementation to avoid long start-up
times due to merely linking with the library.
Security Fixes:
* GraphicsMagick is now participating in Google's oss-fuzz project due
to the contributions and assistance of Alex Gaynor. Since February 4
2018, 398 issues have been opened by oss-fuzz (some of which were
benign build issues) and 11 issues remain open.
The issues list is available at
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list under search term
"graphicsmagick". Issues are available for anyone to view and
duplicate if they have been in "Verified" status for 30 days, or if
they have been in "New" status for 90 days. There are too many
fixes to list here. Please consult the GraphicsMagick ChangeLog
file, Mercurial repository commit log, and the oss-fuzz issues list
for details.
Bug fixes:
* Fix broken definition of ResourceInfinity which resulted in that
GetMagickResource() would return -1 rather than the maximum range
