image_science version 1.1.1 has been released!

   http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/ImageScience.html

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.rubyforge.org/

Changes:

== 1.1.1 / 2007-03-08

* 5 minor enhancements:
   * Added error handler that raises with information about what went  
wrong.
   * thumbnail is now pure ruby, everything now uses resize.
   * Produces cleaner JPEG files, with a small cost to file size/speed.
   * resize now uses Catmull-Rom spline filter for better quality.
   * resize copies existing ICC Profile to thumbnail, producing  
better color.
   * ICC Profile NOT copied for PNG as it seems to be buggy.
* 1 bug fix:
   * Fixed rdoc
