This directory contains released distributions of GraphicsMagick for
Microsoft Windows XP or later (XP, Vista, 7, maybe 8).
The GraphicsMagick 1.3.20 distribution is based on the
"GraphicsMagick-1_3_20" tag on the "GraphicsMagick-1_3" branch in
GraphicsMagick CVS.
If the file has "Q8" in the name, then it is compiled to support 24/32
bit pixels. If the file has "Q16" in the name, then it is compiled to
support 48/64 bit pixels. Most users will find that the "Q8" builds
are sufficient for their needs. They execute faster than the "Q16"
builds and take less memory. Users who are using CMS color profiles,
or are processing scientific/medical/film images will want to use a
"Q16" build. Binaries are built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Professional Edition with OpenMP enabled.
For Windows packages, the downloaded executable should be executed to
start the graphical installer.
A summary of the installable files is as follows:
Windows Dynamic-Multithread (DLL-based) install package with
utilities, PerlMagick, the ImageMagickObject COM object and
GraphicsMagick web pages.
