How backwards-compatible is the CLI? Can there be things stopping to build
or to work at runtime because ImageMagick 7 convert does not understand some
option intended for ImageMagick 6 convert?
It's pretty compatible. Just by diffing "convert --help", it's mostly
functional additions and some reorganization/rewording of
descriptions.
The only option missing is "convert -magnify", though curiously the
code is still present in ImageMagick API. The command seems plumbed
into the program in the source code too, so I'm confused why it's not
documented.
I've attached the diff of the program help too.
