ImageMagick’s versioning follows a semantic pattern: major.minor.patch-build. Version 7.x marked a significant departure from the 6.x series, introducing a rewritten core (MagickCore 7) with improved quantum depth handling, better HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) support, and a more modular architecture. By the time of version 7.1.1, the software had stabilized after the initial breaking changes of 7.0.0 (released in 2016). imagemagick.org archive imagemagick-7.1.1-15.tar.gz
