This is a blocker to the release.

As a result of all the work around adding new Op support, it turns out many of those ops all cause a *VM Segfault* on the latest version of Java 5, but all the functionality works unchanged on Java 6/7.

There is no way imgscalr can ship VM-crashing functionality.

Java 5 has been end-of-lifed and Java 6 has been around for 5 years. This is potentially a breaking change for anyone on Java 5 systems unfortunately, but it can't be any other way.

They will have to stay with imgscalr 3.2.
