Thanks! I'll fix it.

Another good reason to try the betas!

My description was incomplete. Here's a reproduction. At 6.4.9 the following program prints: $ ./none ImageMagick 6.4.9-0 2009-01-31 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org name is #000000000000 matte is 0 At 6.4.8 it prints $ ./none ImageMagick 6.4.8-9 2009-01-24 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org name is #0000...

Your reproduction looks like what RMagick is doing. I'll get you something asap. Thanks!

RMagick creates a new image by caling AcquireImage, then calls SetImageBackgroundColor to set the background color. In 6.4.8 and earlier, if the background color is "none" then the alpha channel is activated. I notice that in the 6.4.9-0 beta the alpha channel is not activated and I have t...

I installed the beta and now the test produces the expected output. I passed along the good news to the RMagick user. Thanks for the quick turnaround!

I guess I'm confused. The way I read the OP's question, GIF animations are not involved, just a single-frame GIF. What did I overlook?

not sure if this is related to the GIF *resize* bug that is mentioned just recently here, but i have the latest build (6.4.8-9) of imagemagick, and i am seeing problems when i use "crop" on a gif. namely, the visible part of the image is the correct size, but the image itself (page size, ...

An RMagick user reports a problem rendering text using a solid color stroke of width 3 and a pattern fill. I've reproduced it using just MVG and convert. Notice that the stroke does not appear on some letters in the bottom row of text. I'm not using my regular machine tonight so my IM install is a b...

Thanks for your quick reply.

The test program below fails to change the colorspace field the way it did in 6.4.7-10. Here's the 6.4.7-10 output: $ ./test_colorspace ImageMagick 6.4.7 2008-12-17 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Original Colorspace = 1 New Colorspace = 2 Here's the 6.4.8-9 output: $ ./test_colorspace ImageMagick 6....

I see the opacity problem is fixed in 6.4.8-7. Thanks! However the type rendering is still broken. Here's the image produced by 6.4.7-10: http://home.roadrunner.com/~foxhunter/test_6.4.7-10.png Here's the image produced by 6.4.8-7: http://home.roadrunner.com/~foxhunter/test_6.4.8-7.png The command I...

The following MVG program produces this image in 6.4.7-10: http://home.roadrunner.com/~foxhunter/test_6.4.7-10.gif but produces this image in 6.4.8-6: http://home.roadrunner.com/~foxhunter/test_6.4.8-6.gif Actually I don't think this problem was in 6.4.8-5 but I don't have that version installed to ...

Check out the thread about 6 below this one, "Make a box image for any image."

Okay, I built RMagick with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and it seems to be playing well with ImageMagick 6.4.8-6 and (knock wood) with Ruby, too. This gives me some breathing room to work on the MinGW/MSYS approach.

Thanks for the tip!
