Hi all, there's yet another vips up, it's 8.3 now:
http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/supported/8.3/
http://libvips.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/whats-new-in-83.html
There's a Windows binary, plus a source tarball. Homebrew on OS X
should update in a day or two. The Windows binary now has webp
enabled, but it's not had much testing.
libvips has new loaders for PDF, SVG and GIF which use poppler,
librsvg and giflib. They are dramatically faster than the libmagick
route that vips used before. There's also a new image shrinker which
uses run-time code generation for a nice speedup.
Many thanks to Lovell, Otto, bithive, apacheark, aaron42net, Murat and
everyone else who contributed.
John
