Latest PECL Releases:

• ev 1.1.6RC1
  Suppressed warnings for UnwindExit and GracefulExit in PHP 8. Thanks to Aaron Piotrowski.

• imagick 3.6.0RC2
  - Fixes: * Remove deprecated message from Imagick::roundCorners() - Added: * Imagick::addNoiseImageWithAttenuate()
• imagick 3.6.0RC1
  - Imagick::getImageInterlaceScheme is undeprecated. It's the appropriate function to call to get the image interlace setting. - Image formats are now normalised to lower case. - Imagick::getImageIndex and Imagick::setImageIndex are undeprecated and work on ImageMagick 7. They call MagickGetIteratorIndex and MagickSetIteratorIndex internally. - Imagick::averageImages is undeprecated. For IM 7 it now calls EvaluateImages(wand->images,MeanEvaluateOperator). - Imagick::flattenImages is undeprecated. For IM 7 it now calls MagickMergeImageLayers(intern->magick_wand, FlattenLayer); internally. - Imagick::getImageSize is undeprecated. For IM 7 it now calls MagickGetImageLength internally. - Imagick::roundCornersImage is undeprecated and available on IM7. - Fixes: * Imagick::borderImage() changed internally to use OverCompositeOp rather than AtopCompositeOp for ImageMagick > 7. If you need the old behaviour, please use Imagick::borderImageWithComposite() instead, which allows you to set the composite method. * Imagick::frameImage() changed internally to use OverCompositeOp rather than AtopCompositeOp for ImageMagick > 7. If you need the old behaviour, please use Imagick::frameImageWithComposite() instead, which allows you to set the composite method. * Imagick::profileImage() fixed to allow null as second paramter again. If you can't upgrade to this version yet, pass in "", which has the same effect. * Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_COPY and Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_OPAQUE should be available on IM7. * Imagick::setImageMatteColor() should be available on IM7. - Added: * Imagick::borderImageWithComposite() same as Imagick::borderImage() but allows user to set composite operator used. * Imagick::frameImageWithComposite() same as Imagick::frameImage() but allows user to set composite operator used. * function Imagick::cannyEdgeImage * function Imagick::setSeed * function Imagick::waveletDenoiseImage * function Imagick::meanShiftImage * function Imagick::kmeansImage * function Imagick::rangeThresholdImage * function Imagick::autoThresholdImage * function Imagick::bilateralBlurImage * function Imagick::claheImage * function Imagick::channelFxImage * function Imagick::colorThresholdImage * function Imagick::complexImages * function Imagick::interpolativeResizeImage * function Imagick::levelImageColors * function Imagick::levelizeImage * function Imagick::orderedDitherImage * function Imagick::whiteBalanceImage
