Transloadit recommends having: imagemagick_stack: "v3.0.1" in these Robots’ Assembly Instructions. We are intimately aware of how important continuity is for our customers, so stack version upgrades are always opt-in. Stack versions are typically supported for many years before we start issuing deprecation warnings (for example, we had been supporting "v1.0.0" for 11 years before we deprecated it).
