- Version upgrade to 9.14. Primarily a maintenance release.
Highlights in this release include (excerpt):
* pdfwrite now uses the same color management engine as
Ghostscript rendering devices (by default LCMS2). For
the duration of this release a new switch -dPDFUseOldCMS
is available which will restore the old color management.
See: "Color Conversion and Management" in Ps2pdf.htm
Due to constraints of the PDF/A-1 specification, the new color
management does not yet apply when producing PDF/A files.
* A new device 'eps2write' has been added which allows for the
creation of EPS files using the ps2write device instead of
the deprecated and removed pswrite device. The epswrite device
is now also deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
* Ghostscript has a new "pwgraster" output device for PWG Raster
output.
* The CUPS device now has improved support for PPD-less printing.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

- ppc64le-support.patch from IBM fixes endianness
in lcms (the Little-CMS library) to support the new
architecture ppc64le (IBM Power PC Little Endian architecture)
because ppc64 is big-endian and ppc64le is little-endian
and lcms has a hard-coded check that assumes PowerPC
is always big-endian which is incorrect on ppc64le.
The fix is already in the main Little-CMS repository
by this Git commit
https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/commit/b4f5c91a2c1582bd284f0d0f49cb43e2c2235a79
(There are some cosmetic changes in the upstream patch.)
It is not yet in the imported copy in Ghostscript.
IBM will work with upstream to get the fix imported too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 3 16:26:46 CEST 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.10. Primarily a maintenance release.
Highlights in this release include:
* LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the
latest versions.
* The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the
latest version, fixing many compatibility problems
with the Adobe fonts.
* The CUPS filters gstoraster and gstopxl have been
removed from Ghostscript. Those filters are now provided by
cups-filters (a free software package hosted by OpenPrinting)
that contains all CUPS filters needed by CUPS under Linux
(see also the openSUSE issue bnc#735404 comment#44 at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c44).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- fix-undefined-operation.patch is no longer needed because
it is fixed in the upstream sources.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 29 15:06:13 CEST 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.10rc1 (release candidate for the 9.10 version).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Prepare spec files to build both releases and release candidates
easily in the future by using special different version strings.
- fix-undefined-operation.patch fixes
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694546
- Removed BuildRequires for liblcms-devel because it is not needed
when we build Ghostscript that works in compliance with upstream
(see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828751#c5).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 27 07:58:08 UTC 2013 - mmeister@suse.com
- Added url as source.
Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 19 13:51:06 CET 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.07.
* As of this release (9.07), Ghostscript is distributed
under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL).
* Ghostscript has been extended to support file sizes >4Gb
in particular reading and writing PDF files.
* Color management enhancements. Full details of the color
management features can be found in: GS9_Color_Management.pdf
* The pdfwrite devices now supports linearized (or optimized
for fast web view) output directly ("-dFastWebView").
* With the addition of linearisation to pdfwrite, pdfopt.ps
has become redundant. Since it is difficult to maintain,
has a number of bugs, and is believed not to work properly
anyway, it is removed. Accordingly the pdfopt shell script
that used pdfopt.ps is also removed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 3 11:58:51 CET 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Provide libijs (that is not done via "configure --with-ijs")
because libijs is needed by the pdftoijs filter in the
cups-filters package (see the README file in cups-filters).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 27 12:02:51 UTC 2012 - mmeister@suse.com
- Version upgrade to 9.06. Mainly a bugfix release.
* pdfwrite announcements:
pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files.
For further details see the NEWS file.
* removed moribund dumphint tool, see History9.htm and
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693223
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 24 10:44:57 UTC 2012 - idonmez@suse.com
- "export SUSE_ASNEEDED=0" disables -Wl,--as-needed linker flags,
see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693100
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 10 15:49:33 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Require Ghostscript's font packages because the
Ghostscript package provides the "Fontmap" file
/usr/share/ghostscript/<version>/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS
which lists Ghostscript's fonts but the fonts itself
are provided in the separated packages ghostscript-fonts-std
and ghostscript-fonts-other so that a RPM requirement
is needed to make sure that Ghostscript has its fonts.
- Extract the catalog of devices which are actually built-in
in exactly this Ghostscript and provide it as catalog.devices
in the Ghostscript package.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 27 10:40:53 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- BuildRequires dbus-1-devel for "configure --enable-dbus"
to have colord support in gstoraster (see the entry regarding
"color management daemon" in doc/History9.htm).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 24 14:30:45 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Install documentation which is not installed by default
(LICENSE doc/AUTHORS doc/COPYING doc/thirdparty.htm
doc/WhatIsGS.htm doc/GS9_Color_Management.pdf
doc/gs-vms.hlp doc/Ps2ps2.htm).
- Add a link from SUSE's usual documentation directory
(/usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/) to Ghostscript's
documentation directory (/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/doc/)
because "configure --docdir=..." does not work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 5 15:06:56 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed BuildRequires docbook-toys which is not needed
(db2ps and db2pdf called in ijs/Makefile.am to make ijs_spec.ps
and ijs_spec.pdf but neither of them is made - both are
provided in the sources) but docbook-toys pulls in packages
like texlive-bin-jadetex and texlive-jadetex which needlessly
blow up the build system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 28 10:59:21 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Require the basic fonts for Ghostscript
(package ghostscript-fonts-std) and recommend the
optional fonts (package ghostscript-fonts-other).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 23 11:32:28 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Cleaned up BuildRequires.
- Added ghostscript-mini.spec with minimal BuildRequires.
- Explicitly specify configure --with-* versus --without-*
in ghostscript.spec versus ghostscript-mini.spec
to make the differences clear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 16 10:27:01 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Unfortunately ghostscript-library.spec and ghostscript-mini.spec
have unversioned "Provides: ghostscript" and for RPM this means
that both ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini
provide any version of ghostscript. Therefore any non-matching
version of ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini fulfill
any RPM requirement for ghostscript in the ghostscript-x11
and ghostscript-devel sub-packages which is wrong.
Therefore explicit conflicts with ghostscript-library and
ghostscript-mini are specified in the ghostscript-x11
and ghostscript-devel sub-packages to avoid the mess.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 15 16:43:26 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Configure --without-libpaper disables libpaper support
because SUSE does not have libpaper.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 15 12:28:36 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Configure --without-jasper and --enable-openjpeg because
since Ghostscript 9.05 JasPer is deprecated and Ghostscript
now ships modified OpenJPEG sources for JPEG2000 decoding
(replacing JasPer). Performance, reliability and memory use
whilst decoding JPX streams are all improved. Accordingly
the BuildRequires libjasper-devel is removed.
- Configure --without-ufst and --without-luratech because
those are relevant to commercial releases only
which would require a commercial license.
- Added BuildRequires libtool which requires automake and
automake requires autoconf to fix build requirements
for openSUSE:Factory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 24 16:48:06 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Using fixed /usr/lib/cups/filter (no lib64) because CUPS
in the Printing project uses it in any case.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 24 15:21:05 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Adapt RPM dependencies to what is actually used
in openSUSE:Factory (dated 22 Feb. 2012).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 16 15:36:21 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Added RPM dependencies to make sure ghostscript-x11 and the
main-package have exact matching version-release because both
could have any kind of Ghostscript-internal dependencies.
This is only an approximation to have ghostscript-x11 and
the main-package from the same build where the main-package
and its sub-package have been made but currently there is
no clean way to specify a 'same build' RPM dependency.
Therefore currently ghostscript-x11 and the main-package could
have same version-release but nevertheless come from different
projects/repositories (e.g. with different patches or
whatever kind of differences).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 15 11:42:41 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Split files which require X11 stuff into a ghostscript-x11
sub-package (currently only /usr/lib/ghostscript/9.05/X11.so)
so that the ghostscript package can be installed without X11.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 9 11:34:33 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Upgrade to version 9.05 (see bnc#735824):
New simple ink-coverage device (inkconv).
The ps2write device has a large number of improvements.
Fixes and improvements for the CUPS Raster output device
(in particular Ghostscript bug 691922 regarding color model).
Renamed the PXL CUPS filter from "pstopxl" to "gstopxl".
For details see the doc/News.htm file.
- Removed "make cups" and "make cups-install" from spec file
using "configure ... --with-install-cups" instead
(new since version 9.04, see "configure --help").
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec 13 15:18:06 UTC 2011 - jw@suse.com
- Upgrade to version 9.04 (see bnc#735824):
For details see the doc/News.htm file.
- Added "make cups" and "make cups-install" to spec file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 15 16:06:40 CET 2011 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Initial ghostscript package.
