Learn how ImageMagick version 7 differs from previous versions with our <a href="www/porting.html">porting guide</a>.</p> 246 247<p>ImageMagick best practices <strong>strongly</strong> encourages you to configure a <a href="www/security-policy.html">security policy</a> that suits your local environment.</p> 248 249<p>The ImageMagick development process ensures a stable API and <a href="https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/imagemagick/">ABI</a>. Before each ImageMagick release, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes <a href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer">memory error</a>, <a href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/ThreadSanitizer">thread data race</a> detection, and continuous <a href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz">fuzzing</a> to detect and prevent security vulnerabilities.</p> 250 251<p>As an analog to linear (RGB) and non-linear (sRGB) color colorspaces, as of ImageMagick 7.0.7-17, we introduce the LinearGray colorspace. Gray is non-linear grayscale and LinearGray is linear (e.g. -colorspace linear-gray).</p> 252 253<p>Want more performance from ImageMagick? Try these options:</p> 254 255<ul> 256<li>add more memory to your system, see <a href="www/architecture.html#cache">the pixel cache</a>;</li> 257<li>add more cores to your system, see <a href="www/architecture.html#threads">threads of execution support</a>;</li> 258<li>reduce lock contention with the <a href="http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html">tcmalloc</a> memory allocation library;</li> 259<li>push large images to a solid-state drive, see <a href="www/architecture.html#tera-pixel">large image support</a>.</li> 260</ul> 261<p>If these options are prohibitive, you can reduce the quality of the image results. The default build is Q16 HDRI. If you disable <a href="www/high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>, you use half the memory and instead of predominately floating point operations, you use the typically more efficient integer operations. The tradeoff is reduced precision and you cannot process out of range pixel values (e.g. negative). If you build the Q8 non-HDRI version of ImageMagick, you again reduce the memory requirements in half-- and once again there is a tradeoff, even less precision and no out of range pixel values. For a Q8 non-HDRI build of ImageMagick, use these <code>configure</code> script options: <code>--with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-hdri</code>.</p> 262 263<h2><a class="anchor" id="community"></a>Community</h2> 264<p>To join the ImageMagick community, try the <a target="_blank" href="https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server/">discourse server</a>.
