ImageMagick vulnerability
Hi Friends,
Because our gallery uses ImageMagick for some of it's features, I've just become aware of a security issue with IM. And I just want to mention it, because a lot of various graphics and related apps use IM, sort of behind the scenes. If you don't know what ImageMagick is, then you probably don't need to worry about it. But if you use any graphics-related apps which rely on IM, you might want to make sure you're not exposed to this risk.

Meanwhile, our gallery will be using a different program temporarily, until IM is secure. If you notice any problems with the gallery, just let me know. The good news is Inkscape Community's host (mikey) is a security expert!
