## RMagick 4.2.2

Bug Fixes:

- Remove deprecation warning about block syntax (#1272)

You are still recommended to use the block parameter instead of `self.` but
we're silencing the deprecation warning until we can get RMagick's code up to
that standard.

## RMagick 4.2.1

Bug Fixes:

- Fix compilation with optimization on glibc (#1263)

## RMagick 4.2.0

This adds a deprecation warning when using a block for image operations.
Instead of setting properties on `self`, you should accept a block argument and
modify that instead. In a future version we we no longer be binding the block
to the image.

```diff
- img.to_blob { self.quality = 75 }
+ img.to_blob { |image| image.quality = 75 }
```

Improvements:

- Updated error messages if runtime ImageMagick version was not matched with when installed rmagick (#1213)

## RMagick 4.1.0.rc1

The ImageMagick 7 release is here! This adds beta support for ImageMagick 7.
Much thanks to **@Watson1978** for getting the ball rolling on this and to
**@dlemstra** for the extraordinary amount of work and patience that went into
seeing it through. RMagick should currently behave the same way under IM7 as it
did under IM6, so please open an issue if you find anything that seems out of
the ordinary.

## RMagick 4.0.0

This release removes a *lot* of deprecated functionality, so first upgrade to
3.2 and handle any deprecation warnings you see there before upgrading to 4.0.
There are a handful of removals that we could not, or forgot to deprecate, so
pay special attention to those below. This clears the road for ImageMagick 7
support in the very near future.

Breaking Changes:

- Removed deprecated Image#matte and Image#matte= (#731)
- Removed deprecated Draw#matte. (#736)
- Removed deprecated ImageList#fx. (#732)
- Removed deprecated Info#group and Info#group=. (#733)
- Removed deprecated KernelInfo#show. (#734)
- Removed deprecated Pixel#opacity and Pixel#opacity=. (#735)
- Removed deprecated KernelInfo#zero_nans. (#741)
- Removed deprecated ImageList#map (#740)
- Removed deprecated Pixel#from_HSL. (#742)
- Removed deprecated Image#alpha=. (#739)
- Removed deprecated Pixel#to_HSL. (#745)
- Removed deprecated Image#blur and Image#blur=. (#746)
- Removed deprecated Image#sync_profiles. (#754)
- Removed deprecated Image#opacity=. (#753)
- Removed deprecated Image#combine. (#752)
- Removed deprecated Image#map. (#751)
- Removed deprecated Image#mask=. (#750)
- Removed deprecated opacity arguments. (#757)
- Removed deprecated `OpaqueOpacity` and `TransparentOpacity`. (#765)
- Removed obsolete enumerations. (#766)

The following changes *did not have deprecation warnings* in 3.2, so you'll
want to double check that you update your code if you were relying on the
existing behavior:

- Changed Color#to_s to return an string that contains alpha instead of opacity. (#760)
- Changed Pixel#to_s to return a string that contains alpha instead of opacity. (#762)
- Changed Pixel#hash to use alpha instead of opacity. (#763)
- Changed Pixel#<=> to use alpha instead of opacity. (#764)
- Removed `BicubicInterpolatePixel` (use `CatromInterpolatePixel` instead) (#768)
- Removed `FilterInterpolatePixel` (no replacement) (#768)
- Renamed `NearestNeighborInterpolatePixel` to `NearestInterpolatePixel` (#768)

Enhancements:

- Add SetQuantumOperator (#755)

Bug Fixes:

- Fix SEGV in Image#each_profile (#737)

## RMagick 3.2.0

This is expected to be the final deprecation release before RMagick 4.0. We
have added loads of deprecation warnings to clear the pathway for ImageMagick 7
support. Once you've fixed all of them you should be fine to upgrade to version
4.0 without any pain. There are a small handful of edge cases which we could
not cleanly deprecate, though they should be extremely rare. These will be
documented in the 4.0 release. Thanks to @dlemstra for the hard work making
this release possible.

The biggest change in moving towards RMagick 4.0 will be the fact that
`opacity` is deprecated in favor of `alpha`.

**NOTE: `opacity` is the opposite of `alpha`!!!**

If you are currently passing opacity into methods, you will need to invert the
value and use the new `alpha:` keyword argument. If you are passing an integer,
`alpha = 255 - opacity`. An integer `opacity` of 0 is an `alpha` of 255.

Also, **major kudos to @Watson1978** for enabling Ruby's memory management in
(#697).  This should go a long way towards improving RMagick's reputation for
memory usage.
