+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Support has been added for GraphicsMagick_ as an alternative to ImageMagick_.  This
+includes GraphicsMagick as a viewer (cf.
+:py:class:`PIL.ImageShow.GmDisplayViewer <PIL.ImageShow.UnixViewer.GmDisplayViewer>`)
+and the capability to run the test suite with GraphicsMagick instead of ImageMagick.
+If both are installed, the test suite prefers ImageMagick over GraphicsMagick.
