This release includes a fix for bug #13946, a bug in extconf.rb that caused setup.rb to fail, reported by Joshua Sierles. Otherwise it is identical to beta2.

RMagick 2.0.0 highlights: A new installation procedure that uses setup.rb exclusively. Requires Ruby 1.8.2 or later and ImageMagick 6.3.0 or later. Includes Image#destroy! and Magick.trace_proc, new methods to help control and monitor memory usage, as well as many other new methods.

GraphicsMagick is not supported. Two GraphicsMagick-only methods have been removed and many deprecated, outdated, and mostly undocumented methods and constants have been removed.

See the Change Log for complete information about new features and bug fixes since RMagick 1.15.8. Please read the Release Notes before downloading.
