image_science version 1.1.3 has been released!

* <http://seattlerb.ruby...ImageScienc...

ImageScience is a clean and happy Ruby library that generates
thumbnails -- and kicks the living crap out of RMagick. Oh, and it
doesn't leak memory like a sieve. :) For more information including
build steps, see http://seattlerb.ruby...

Changes:

## 1.1.3 / 2007-05-30

* 2 minor enhancements:
* Added quick_thumb as an example to look at.
* Error handler doesn't raise by default. Raises if $DEBUG==true.

The creator of this library disagrees, just FYI:

So? He and I disagree. Big deal. We've done it before [1], I'm sure
we'll do it again.

Well, I was thinking it might be worth it to submit bug reports to
the tracker so he could fix them. I see from your article that
you've had trouble with that in the past though. Fair enough.

Thanks for reposting my earlier request, James. I'll repeat it here for
emphasis:

As of this moment there are no open bug tracks for RMagick memory leaks
on RubyForge. All the RMagick "leaks" I know about are addressed in this
entry in the RMagick Hints & Tips forum:
http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1374&for....

If you know of a leak that isn't addressed by that tip, I'd love an
opportunity to fix it. Would you mind sending me a script that
reproduces the leak? I need a script with no extra gems or libraries,
just Ruby and RMagick. No Rails, attachment_fu, file_column, gruff,
scruffy, or whatever. Let me know what O/S you're on, what version of
RMagick and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick, and what version of Ruby. You
can send it directly to me, post it here, or open a bug track on RubyForge.

By the way, since I originally posted that request on the 17th I've had
no new bug reports, so please, send 'em in.
