|
|
|
|
- Version upgrade to 9.15. Primarily a maintenance release.
|
|
There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing).
|
|
Highlights in this release include:
|
|
* Ghostscript now supports the PDF security handler revision 6.
|
|
* The pdfwrite and ps2write (and related) devices can now be
|
|
forced to "flatten" glyphs into "basic" marking operations
|
|
(rather than writing fonts to the output), by giving
|
|
the -dNoOutputFonts command line option (defaults to "false").
|
|
* PostScript programs can now use get_params or get_param to
|
|
determine if a page contains color markings by reading the
|
|
pageneutralcolor state from the device (so whether the page
|
|
is "color" or "mono"). Note that this is only accurate when in
|
|
clist mode, so -dMaxBitmap=0 and -dGrayDetection=true should
|
|
both be used.
|
|
* The pdfwrite device now supports Link annotations with GoTo
|
|
and GoToR actions.
|
|
* The pdfwrite device now supports BMC/BDC/EMC pdfmarks
|
|
* Regarding the new color management for the pdfwrite device
|
|
introduced in the previous release, the proscription on using
|
|
the new color management when producing PDF/A-1 compliant files
|
|
is now lifted. To reiterate, also, with the new color
|
|
management implementation, using the UseCIEColor option is
|
|
strongly discouraged. For further information on the new
|
|
pdfwrite color management, see in Ps2pdf.htm the
|
|
"Color Conversion and Management" section.
|
|
* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
|
|
and incremental improvements.
|
|
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

|
|
|
|
- Version upgrade to 9.15rc2 (second release candidate for 9.15).
|
|
Ghostscript upstream QA highlighted a couple of issues
|
|
that they felt warranted a fresh release candidate.
|
|
For details see the History9.htm file.

|
|
Tue Sep 9 16:06:31 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Version upgrade to 9.15rc1 (first release candidate for 9.15).
|
|
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
|
|
- ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because
|
|
it is fixed in the upstream sources.
|
|
- Removed trailing whitespaces in spec file and changes file.
|

|
|
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.

|
|
- 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).

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

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.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
