------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 27 12:21:55 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 13 19:09:12 UTC 2013 - uweigand@de.ibm.com - 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//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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - Let ghostscript-mini "Conflicts: ghostscript-library". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 28 10:59:21 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Require only the basic fonts for Ghostscript (package ghostscript-fonts-std) but do not recommend optional fonts (package ghostscript-fonts-other). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 23 11:32:28 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Cleaned up BuildRequires. - Explicitly specify configure --with-* versus --without-* in ghostscript.spec versus ghostscript-mini.spec to make the differences clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 20 16:07:56 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Initial ghostscript-mini package.
