Subject: ImageMagick in EPEL 8

Hi. I just noticed that ImageMagick in EPEL for RHEL8 uses major version number 7, as in "libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.7".

I have a number of binaries compiled for RHEL7 against ImageMagick, where the major number was 6, as in "libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.6". These binaries do not run on RHEL8 because of this major version mismatch.

Has the .so really changed in a backwards-incompatible way? (When I symlink the .so.6 -> .so.7 libraries, all of my RHEL7-compiled applications appear to run.) If not, can I request that the version in EPEL change to use .so.6?

Thanks!
