RMagick pre-requisite changes

T

Tim Hunter

Just a heads up that RMagick 1.6.2 is the last release that will support
versions of ImageMagick prior to 6.0.0. The next release of RMagick will
require ImageMagick 6.0.0 or later. That release of ImageMagick has been
available since January. The current release of ImageMagick is 6.1.6.

All previous releases of RMagick have supported ImageMagick 5.5.1 or later,
but testing RMagick with so many old releases of ImageMagick is becoming
impractical.

I do not intend to remove any existing support for older IM releases, so
it's quite possible the next release of RMagick will work with them, but I
will not be testing with IM releases prior to 6.0.0 and cannot guarantee
anything.

RMagick will continue to support all releases of GraphicsMagick and all
releases of Ruby between 1.6.7 and the 1.8.2 previews.
