The most recent Fedora 25 ImageMagick security patch brings essential enhancements and repairs related to image processing.
Many security fixes, bug fixes, and other changes from the previous version 6.9.3.0

Summary

ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool for the X

Window System. ImageMagick can read and write JPEG, TIFF, PNM, GIF,

and Photo CD image formats. It can resize, rotate, sharpen, color

reduce, or add special effects to an image, and when finished you can

either save the completed work in the original format or a different

one. ImageMagick also includes command line programs for creating

animated or transparent .gifs, creating composite images, creating

thumbnail images, and more.

ImageMagick is one of your choices if you need a program to manipulate

and display images. If you want to develop your own applications

which use ImageMagick code or APIs, you need to install

ImageMagick-devel as well.

Many security fixes, bug fixes, and other changes from the previous version

6.9.3.0. See the [6.9 branch ChangeLog](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/3fd358e2ac34977fda38a2cf4d88a1cb4dd2d7c7/ChangeLog). Dependent packages

are mostly straight rebuilds, a couple also include bugfix version updates.
