+- Version upgrade to 9.22.
+  For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
+  Highlights in this release include:
+  * Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite
+    device) PDF 2.0 compliant files.
+  * The main focus of this release has been security and code
+    cleanliness. Hence many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and
+    Coverity issues have been addressed.
+  * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
+    and incremental improvements.
+  Incompatible changes
+  * The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for
+    this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend
+    to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up
+    the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs
+    (methods/function pointers) 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.
+- Up to 9.22rc1 it "just built" for all openSUSE versions but
+  since 9.22rc2 the libijs part does no longer buid for any
+  released openSUSE version where if fails with messages like
+    libtool: Version mismatch error.
+      This is libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2, but the
+      definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.2.
+      You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from
+      libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2 and run autoconf again.
+    Makefile: recipe for target 'ijs.lo' failed
+  so that currently it only builds for Tumbleweed/Factory.
+  Presumably it is not too complicated to make it build again
+  also for released openSUSE versions but currently I have
+  less than zero energy to fix on such "latest breaking changes"
+  so that for now Ghostscript 9.22 is only provided for
+  openSUSE Tumbleweed/Factory and the upcoming SLE15/Leap15.
