"even then they are just adding security fixes to current version"

Yes, also I think that is a pain. They call it 5.3.3, but in fact they include the security updates of up to 5.3.12 or so and suddenly all your workarounds start failing. That sucks! However, to come back to the topic: With ImageMagick the thing is much more simple: They give you a version, which is known to be unsecure and they do use the proper version number so that also you directly know. Not a clever decision, but a fair deal.
