Brett DiFrischia has prepared a new release of RMagick for Win32. This release is based on very latest versions of Ruby, RMagick, and ImageMagick. Specifically, this is RMagick 1.13.0 compiled for the Ruby One-Click Installer 1.8.4-20 Final and bundled with ImageMagick 6.2.9-0.

PLEASE READ THIS!

The procedure for installing this package is different from earlier releases of RMagick for Win32. Notably this package includes a copy of the stand-alone Windows installer for ImageMagick 6.2.9-0. To install RMagick 1.13.0 for Win32,

* Download the 1.13.0 binary gem ("rmagick-1.13.0-IM-6.2.9-0-win32.zip") file from RubyForge (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=12)
* Unzip the file into a temporary directory
* Read the README.html file for complete installation instructions

The README.html file addresses the most common problems that can occur during and immediately after installation. If you encounter a problem that is not addressed in the README.html file the best way to get help is to post a note on the RMagick Help Forum on RubyForge (http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=33). Both Brett and I monitor this forum.

You can view the Change Log for RMagick 1.13.0 on the RMagick home page: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org.
