RMagick enters its 3rd year.
This release is compatible with the latest versions of ImageMagick,
GraphicsMagick, and Ruby. Includes eight new methods. All known bugs have
been fixed.
Kaspar promises a 1.7.0 Windows gem very soon, too. Watch this space!
Excellent work, I might add. PLD's got the new version in its CVS tree already.

Boy is my face red. I forgot this part:
RMagick is a binding for the ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick image processing
libraries. These libraries support more than 80 image formats including
GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and EPS. RMagick features over 150 methods for image
creation, editing, and format conversion, and includes comprehensive HTML
documentation with more than 100 complete examples.
As always, RMagick is available at RubyForge: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org

I have just released a beta release of the 1.7.0 gem. I have nothing to add
to what Tim's said, except perhaps that the FreeTypeException bug that's
been bothering quite a number of people should be gone now. Happy beta
testing ! As always, a kiss on the forehead for everyone that reports a bug
(virtual kiss, that is).

Does RMagick distribution include ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick libraries or do I have to install both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick first before able to use RMagick? .
Thanks

The Windows binary gem includes ImageMagick. On all other platforms you need
to install either ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick first. RMagick configures
itself to the version you install.

Thank Tim. By any change, is it available in gems yet?

I downloaded the MSWIN32 version and extracted to my temp directory.
Then, I tried to use gem but it gives me the following error:
c:\temp\ruby\RMagick-1.7.0-IM-6.1.5-gem\RMagick-1.7.0-gem>gem install --local RMagick-win32-1.7.0-mswin32.gem

ERROR: Error installing gem RMagick-win32-1.7.0-mswin32.gem[.gem]: buffer error
Anyone has any idea? Thanks

Kaspar has a beta Windows gem available on RubyForge now. The production
version will be available soon. There is no gem for non-Windows platforms.
Get it here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick

Sorry you're having trouble, Sarah.
This is really a question for Kaspar, but iirc the recommended way to
install this gem is to cd to the directory where you downloaded the gem and
then enter the command
gem install rmagick
You will also need to run a post-install step to configure RMagick to use
the fonts on your machine. As always, the README file will have correct and
complete instructions.
I'm sure Kaspar will correct me if I've misled you.

I did get it and installed them. Then I try to use irb,
irb(main):001:0> require 'RMagick'

In the pop-up windows it complained about libjpeg.6.dll. Before, it complained about libbz2.dll, but then I put it in under c:\windows\system32\libbz2.dll and the pop-up error dissaper, but now where can I find libjpeg.6.dll and perhaps other might be required to run RMagick correctly. Thanks

Thanks Tim. You are right, I should have been more thorough in reading the README. I ran the postinstall.rb and everythings works. Thanks
