+- Version upgrade to 9.19. Mainly a maintenance release.
+  For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
+  Highlights in this release include:
+  * Metadata pdfmark is now implemented. This allows the user
+    to specify an XMP stream which will be written to the
+    Catalog of the PDF file. A new pdfmark 'Ext_Metadata' has
+    been defined. This takes a string parameter which contains
+    XML to be add to the XMP normally created by pdfwrite.
+    See "pdfwrite pdfmark extensions" for more information.
+  * An experimental, rudimentary raster trapping implementation
+    has been added to the Ghostscript graphics library.
+    See "Trapping" for details.
+  Incompatible changes:
+  * (Minor) API change: copy_alpha now supports 8 bit depth
+    (as well as the previous 2 and 4).
+  * The gs man pages are woefully out of date and basically
+    unmaintained. With the release following 9.19, we intend
+    to replace their contents with a very limited summary
+    of (unlikely to ever change aspects of) calling
+    Ghostscript, and a pointer to the (maintained) HTML
+    documentation. That is, unless a volunteer is willing
+    to update, and commit to maintaining the man pages.
+  * ijs-config is no longer provided
+  Planned incompatible changes:
+  * We plan (ideally for the release following 9.19) to somewhat
+    tidy up the device API. We plan to remove deprecated device
+    procs (methods/function pointers). We also intend to merge
+    the imager state and graphics state (thus eliminating the
+    imager state), and change the device API so every device proc
+    takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current
+    scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state
+    parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining
+    a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that
+    you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when
+    these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated
+    procs should be trivial to update.
+- fix_make_install.patch fixes and
+  add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch are no longer needed
+  because both issues are fixed in the upstream sources.
