| Tue Mar 26 08:21:08 UTC 2024 - Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@suse.com>
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 10.03.0:
 | |
|   For openSUSE and SUSE Ghostscript is built '--without-tesseract'
 | |
|   (see the entry below dated 'Mon Jul 18 07:28:54 UTC 2022').
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   See 'Recent Changes in Ghostscript' at Ghostscript upstream
 | |
|   https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/gs10.03.0/News.html
 | |
|   * As of this release (10.03.0) pdfwrite creates PDF files
 | |
|     with XRef streams and ObjStm streams. This can result in
 | |
|     considerably smaller PDF output files. See Vector Devices
 | |
|     https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/VectorDevices.html
 | |
|     for more details.
 | |
|   * Ghostscript/pdfwrite now supports passing through
 | |
|     PDF "Optional Content".
 | |
|   * Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   Incompatible changes (the release is listed in parentheses):
 | |
|   * (10.03.0) Almost all the "internal" PostScript procedures
 | |
|     defined during the interpreter startup are now "executeonly",
 | |
|     further reducing the attack surface of the interpreter.
 | |
|     The nature of these procedures means there should be no impact
 | |
|     for legitimate usage, but it is possible it will impact uses
 | |
|     which abuse the previous accessibility (even for legitimate
 | |
|     reasons). Such cases may now require "DELAYBIND", See DELAYBIND
 | |
|     https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Use.html#ddelaybind
 | |
|   * (10.03.0) The "makeimagedevice" non-standard operator has been
 | |
|     removed. It allowed low level access to the graphics library
 | |
|     in a way that was, essentially impossible to secure.
 | |
|   * (10.03.0) The "putdeviceprops", "getdeviceprops",
 | |
|     "finddevice", "copydevice", "findprotodevice" non-standard
 | |
|     operators have all been removed. They provided functionality
 | |
|     that is either accessible through standard operators,
 | |
|     or should not be used by user PostScript.
 | |
|   * (10.03.0) The process of "tidying" the PostScript namespace
 | |
|     should have removed only non-standard and undocumented
 | |
|     operators. Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations
 | |
|     or utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented
 | |
|     operators may stop working or may change behaviour.
 | |
|   If you encounter such a case, please contact us
 | |
|   (Discord https://discord.gg/H9GXKwyPvY
 | |
|    #ghostscript IRC channel https://web.libera.chat/#ghostscript
 | |
|    or the gs-devel mailing list
 | |
|    https://www.ghostscript.com/mailman/index.html would be best),
 | |
|   but remember that free versions of Ghostscript
 | |
|   come with with NO WARRANTY and NO SUPPORT.

 | |
| 
 | |
| - update to 10.02.1:
 | |
|   * Patch release to address some security bugs
 | |
|   * This release (10.02.0) marks the final demise of the
 | |
|     PostScript based PDF interpreter.
 | |
|   * This 10.01.1 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
 | |
|     line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
 | |
|     interpreter.
 | |
|   * This 10.01.0 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
 | |
|     line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
 | |
|     interpreter.
 | |
|   * This release officially deprecates the old Postscript
 | |
|     implementation of PDF, we will not be updating or maintaining
 | |
|     that code moving forward. The option to use the old PDF
 | |
|     implementation _**will**_ be removed in the next full release
 | |
|     (10.01.0)
 | |
|   * Important: This release includes the new PDF interpreter
 | |
|     (implemented in C rather than PostScript). It is both
 | |
|     integrated into Ghostscript (now ENABLED by default), and
 | |
|     available as a standalone, PDF only, binary. See
 | |
|     https://ghostscript.com/pdfi.html for more details.
 | |
|   * This also bundles the latest zlib (1.2.12) which addresses a
 | |
|     security issue (CVE-2018-25032)
 | |
|   * **Important**: This release includes the new PDF interpreter
 | |
|     (implemented in C rather than PostScript). It is both

 | |
| 
 | |
| - update to 9.56.1:
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include
 | |
|   (excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
 | |
|    in https://ghostscript.com/docs/9.56.1/News.htm):
 | |
|   * New PDF Interpreter: This is an entirely new implementation
 | |
|     written in C (rather than PostScript, as before)
 | |
|   * Calling Ghostscript via the GS API is now thread safe. The one
 | |
|     limitation is that the X11 devices for Unix-like systems (x11,
 | |
|     x11alpha, x11cmyk, x11cmyk2, x11cmyk4, x11cmyk8, x11gray2,
 | |
|     x11gray4 and x11mono) cannot be made thread safe, due to their
 | |
|     interaction with the X11 server, those devices have been
 | |
|     modified to only allow one instance in an executable.
 | |
|   * The PSD output device now writes ICC profiles to their output
 | |
|     files, for improved color fidelity.
 | |
|   * Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
 | |
|     incremental improvements.
 | |
|   * We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR
 | |
|     engine. In such a build, new devices are available
 | |
|     (pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32) which render the output file to an
 | |
|     image, OCR that image, and output the image "wrapped" up as a
 | |
|     PDF file, with the OCR generated text information included
 | |
|     as "invisible" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).
 | |
|     Mainly due to time constraints, we only support including
 | |
|     Tesseract from source included in our release packages,
 | |
|     and not linking to Tesseract/Leptonica shared libraries.
 | |
|     Whether we add this capability will be largely dependent
 | |
|     on community demand for the feature. See Enabling OCR
 | |
|     at https://www.ghostscript.com/ocr.html for more details.

 | |
|   Highlights in this release include
 | |
|   (excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
 | |
|    in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.54.0/News.htm):
 | |
|   * The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release,
 | |
|     and also adds new functionality.
 | |
|   * Overprint simulation is now available to all output devices,
 | |
|     allowing quality previewing/proofing of PostScript and
 | |
|     PDF jobs that rely on overprint. See the -dOverprint option
 | |
|     documentation in: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#Overprint
 | |
|   * The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output
 | |
|     to Microsoft Word "docx" format.
 | |
|     See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#DOCX
 | |
|   * The pdfwrite device is now capable of using the Tesseract OCR
 | |
|     engine when it is built into Ghostscript to improve
 | |
|     searchability and copy and paste functionality when the input
 | |
|     lacks the metadata for that purpose.
 | |
|     See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#UseOCR
 | |
|   * Ghostscript/GhostPDL now includes a "map text to black"
 | |
|     function, where text drawn by an input job (except when drawn
 | |
|     using a Type 3 font) can be forced to draw in solid black.
 | |
|     See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#BlackText
 | |
|   * Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition
 | |
|     "internally". See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#NupControl
 | |
|   * Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.

 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.53.3
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include
 | |
|   (excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
 | |
|    in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/News.htm):
 | |
|   * The 9.53.3 release is primarily maintenance.
 | |
|   * Issues arose with 9.53.0/1/2 that prompted the release
 | |
|     of a .3 patch:
 | |
|     A crash related to management of ICC profile objects.
 | |
|     A parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostscript
 | |
|     to error out during initialisation, which
 | |
|     affected 64 big, big endian architectures.
 | |
|     An unexpected side effect of another change that prevented
 | |
|     multithreaded rendering and background rendering
 | |
|     from working correctly.
 | |
|   * The most obvious change is the (re-)introduction of the
 | |
|     patch level to the version number, this helps facilitate
 | |
|     a revised policy on handling security related issues.
 | |
|     To clarify: in the event we decide to release a patch revision,
 | |
|     it will replace the release with the previous patch number.
 | |
|     Release notes, highlights and warnings will remain the same,
 | |
|     except for the addition of whatever fix(es) prompted the patch.
 | |
|   * Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
 | |
|   * We have added Python bindings for the gsapi interface, can be
 | |
|     found in demos/python. These are experimental, and we welcome
 | |
|     feedback from interested developers.
 | |
|   * For those integrating Ghostscript/GhostPDL via the gsapi
 | |
|     interface, we have added new capabilities to that, specifically
 | |
|     in terms of setting and interrogating device parameters. These,
 | |
|     along with the existing interface calls, are documented in:
 | |
|     Ghostscript Interpreter API at
 | |

 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   * For a list of open issues, or to report problems, please visit

 | |
|   Incompatible changes:
 | |
|   * As of 9.53.0, we have (re-)introduced the patch level to the
 | |
|     version number, this helps facilitate a revised policy
 | |
|     on handling security related issues.
 | |
|     Note for GSView Users: The patch level addition breaks
 | |
|     GSView 5 (it is hardcoded to check for versions 704-999).
 | |
|     It is possible, but not guaranteed that a GSView update might
 | |
|     be forthcoming to resolve this.

 | |
| - The version upgrade to 9.52 fixes in particular
 | |
|   CVE-2020-12268: jbic2dec: heap-based buffer overflow
 | |
|   in jbig2_image_compose (bsc#1170603)
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.52
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * The 9.52 release replaces the 9.51 release after a problem
 | |
|     was reported with 9.51 which warranted the quick turnaround.
 | |
|     Thus, like 9.51, 9.52 is primarily a maintenance release,
 | |
|     consolidating the changes we introduced in 9.50.
 | |
|   * IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt
 | |
|     (the "mt" indicating "multi-thread").
 | |
|     LCMS2 is not thread-safe, and cannot be made thread-safe
 | |
|     without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread-safe and
 | |
|     include performance enhancements (these changes have all
 | |
|     been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
 | |
|     compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time,
 | |
|     but not in perpetuity. If there is sufficient interest,
 | |
|     our fork will be available as its own package separately
 | |
|     from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   Incompatible changes:
 | |
|   * New option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY: The transparency compositor
 | |
|     (and related features), whilst we are improving it, remains
 | |
|     sensitive to being driven correctly, and incorrect use
 | |
|     can have unexpected/undefined results. Hence, as part of
 | |
|     improving security, we limited access to these operators,
 | |
|     originally using the -dSAFER feature. As we made "SAFER"
 | |
|     the default mode, that became unacceptable, hence the
 | |
|     new option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY which enables access
 | |
|     to the operators, cf.
 | |
|     https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/Use.htm#ALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY
 | |
|   For a release summary see:
 | |
|   https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/News.htm
 | |
|   For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.51
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * 9.51 is primarily a maintainance release, consolidating
 | |
|     the changes we introduced in 9.50.
 | |
|   * We have continued our work on code hygiene for this release,
 | |
|     with a focus on the static analysis tool Coverity
 | |
|     (from Synopsys, Inc) and we are now maintaining a policy of
 | |
|     zero Coverity issues in the Ghostscript/GhostPDL source base.
 | |
|   * IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of
 | |
|     OpenPrinting (http://www.openprinting.org/) it is our
 | |
|     intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future,
 | |
|     remove the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers
 | |
|     (that is, the opvp and oprp devices).
 | |
|     If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch
 | |
|     with us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream), so we can discuss your
 | |
|     use case, and revise our plans accordingly.
 | |
|   * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
 | |
|     LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   For a release summary see:
 | |
|   https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.51/News.htm
 | |
|   For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.50
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * The change to version 9.50 follows recognition
 | |
|     of the extent and importance of the file access control
 | |
|     redesign/reimplementation outlined below.
 | |
|   * The file access control capability (enable with -dSAFER)
 | |
|     has been completely rewritten, with a ground-up rethink
 | |
|     of the design. For more details, see: "SAFER" at
 | |
|     https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
 | |
|   * It is important to note that -dSAFER now only enables the
 | |
|     file access controls, and no longer applies restrictions
 | |
|     to standard Postscript functionality (specifically,
 | |
|     restrictions on setpagedevice). If your application relies
 | |
|     on these Postscript restrictions, see "OLDSAFER" at
 | |
|     https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#OldSafer
 | |
|     and please get in touch, as we do plan to remove those
 | |
|     Postscript restrictions unless we have reason not to.
 | |
|   IMPORTANT: File access controls are now enabled by default.
 | |
|     In order to run Ghostscript without these controls,
 | |
|     see "NOSAFER" at
 | |
|     https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#NoSafer
 | |
|   * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
 | |
|     LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   Incompatible changes:
 | |
|   * There are a couple of subtle incompatibilities between the old
 | |
|     and new SAFER implementations. Firstly, as mentioned above,
 | |
|     SAFER now leaves standard Postcript functionality unchanged
 | |
|     (except for the file access limitations). Secondly, the
 | |
|     interaction with save/restore operations, see "SAFER" at
 | |
|     https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
 | |
|   * The following is not strictly speaking new to 9.50,
 | |
|     as not much has changed since 9.27 in this area,
 | |
|     but for those who don't upgrade with every release:
 | |
|     The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have
 | |
|     removed only non-standard and undocumented operators.
 | |
|     Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities
 | |
|     that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators
 | |
|     may stop working, or may change behaviour.
 | |
|     If you encounter such a case, please contact us
 | |
|     (i.e. Ghostscript upstream, either the #ghostscript IRC channel
 | |
|      or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work
 | |
|     with you to either find an alternative solution or return the
 | |
|     previous functionality, if there is genuinely no other option.
 | |
|     One case we know this has occurred is GSView 5 (and earlier).
 | |
|     GSView 5 support for PDF files relied upon internal use only
 | |
|     features which are no longer available. GSView 5 will still
 | |
|     work as previously for Postscript files. For PDF files,
 | |
|     users are encouraged to look at MuPDF https://www.mupdf.com/

 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.27
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) have extensively cleaned up
 | |
|     the Postscript name space: removing access to internal and/or
 | |
|     undocumented Postscript operators, procedures and data.
 | |
|     This has benefits for security and maintainability.
 | |
|     Incompatible changes:
 | |
|     The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should
 | |
|     have removed only non-standard and undocumented operators.
 | |
|     Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or
 | |
|     utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented
 | |
|     operators may stop working, or may change behaviour.
 | |
|     If you encounter such a case, please contact us (i.e.
 | |
|     Ghostscript upstream) - (either the #ghostscript IRC channel,
 | |
|     or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work
 | |
|     with you to either find an alternative solution.
 | |
|   * Fontmap can now reference invidual fonts in a TrueType
 | |
|     Collection for font subsitution. Previously, a Fontmap entry
 | |
|     could only reference a TrueType collection and use the default
 | |
|     (first) font.
 | |
|     Now, the Fontmap syntax allows for specifying a specific index
 | |
|     in a TTC. See the comments at the top of (the default)
 | |
|     Fontmap.GS for details.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   IMPORTANT: It is our intention, within the next 12 months
 | |
|     (ideally sooner, in time for the next release) to make SAFER
 | |
|     the default mode of operation. For many users this will have
 | |
|     no effect, since they use SAFER explicitly, but some niche
 | |
|     uses which rely on SAFER being disabled may need to start
 | |
|     explicitly adding the "-dNOSAFER" option.
 | |
|   IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of
 | |
|     forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made
 | |
|     thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread
 | |
|     safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have
 | |
|     all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
 | |
|     compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not
 | |
|     in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package
 | |
|     separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).

 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * Security issues have been the primary focus of this release,

|     including solving several (well publicised) real and potential
 | |
|     exploits.
 | |
|     Thanks to Man Yue Mo of Semmle Security Research Team,

 | |
|     PLEASE NOTE:
 | |
|     We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade

 | |
|     fix for CVE-2018-16509
 | |
|     https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699714
 | |
|     https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699718
 | |
|     https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108027 bnc#1108027
 | |
|   Regarding what the above "should fix" means:
 | |
|   PostScript is a general purpose Turing-complete programming
 | |
|   language (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript)
 | |
|   that supports in particular file access on the system disk.
 | |
|   When Ghostscript processes PostScript it runs a PostScript
 | |
|   program as the user who runs Ghostscript.
 | |
|   When Ghostscript processes an arbitrary PostScript file,
 | |
|   the user who runs Ghostscript runs an arbitrary program
 | |
|   which can do anything on the system where Ghostscript runs
 | |
|   that this user is allowed to do on that system.
 | |
|   To make it safer when Ghostscript runs a PostScript program
 | |
|   the Ghostscript command line option '-dSAFER' disables
 | |
|   certain file access functionality, for details see
 | |
|   /usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.25/Use.htm
 | |
|   Its name 'SAFER' says everything: It makes it 'safer'
 | |
|   to let Ghostscript run a PostScript program,
 | |
|   but it does not make it completely safe.
 | |
|   In theory software is safe against misuse (i.e. has no bugs).
 | |
|   In practice there is an endless sequence of various kind of
 | |
|   security issues (i.e. software can be misused to do more than
 | |
|   what is intended) that get fixed issue by issue ad infinitum.
 | |
|   In the end all that means:
 | |
|   In practice the user who runs Ghostscript must not let it
 | |
|   process arbitrary PostScript files from untrusted origin.
 | |
|   In particular Ghostscript is usually run when printing
 | |
|   documents (with the '-dSAFER' option set), see the part about
 | |
|   "It is crucial to limit access to CUPS to trusted users" in
 | |
|   https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings

 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.25rc1 (first release candidate for 9.25).
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * This release fixes problems with argument handling, some
 | |
|     unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file
 | |
|     access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files),
 | |
|     and some additional security issues over the 9.24 release.
 | |
|   * Security issues have been the primary focus of this release,
 | |
|     including solving several (well publicised) real
 | |
|     and potential exploits.
 | |
|     PLEASE NOTE:
 | |
|     We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade
 | |
|     to this latest release to avoid these issues.
 | |
|   * Avoid that ps2epsi fails with
 | |
|     'Error: /undefined in --setpagedevice--'
 | |
|     Recent changes required to harden SAFER mode mean that
 | |
|     it is no longer possible to run ps2epsi in SAFER mode,
 | |
|     because it relies upon unsafe Ghostscript non-standard
 | |
|     extension operators.
 | |
|     Removing SAFER and DELAYSAFER, and the code to reset SAFER,
 | |
|     allow ps2epsi to run as well as it ever did (ie badly).
 | |
|     This program (i.e. ps2epsi) should now be considered unsafe,
 | |
|     you should not use it on untrusted PostScript programs.
 | |
|     Likely we (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) will deprecate and
 | |
|     remove this program in future.
 | |
|   For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.24
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * Security issues have been the primary focus of this release,
 | |
|     including solving several (well publicised)
 | |
|     real and potential exploits.
 | |
|     PLEASE NOTE:
 | |
|     We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade
 | |
|     to this latest release to avoid these issues.
 | |
|   * As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant
 | |
|     amount of work improving its robustness in the face of
 | |
|     out specification files.
 | |
|   * IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process
 | |
|     of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot
 | |
|     be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork
 | |
|     will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements
 | |
|     (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream).
 | |
|     We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2
 | |
|     for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available
 | |
|     as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.

 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.23
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * Ghostscript now has a family of 'pdfimage' devices
 | |
|     (pdfimage8, pdfimage24 and pdfimage32) which produce
 | |
|     rendered output wrapped up as an image in a PDF.
 | |
|     Additionally, there is a 'pclm' device which
 | |
|     produces PCLm format output.
 | |
|   * There is now a ColorAccuracy parameter allowing the user
 | |
|     to decide between speed or accuracy in ICC color transforms.
 | |
|   * JPEG Passthrough: devices which support it can now receive
 | |
|     the 'raw' JPEG stream from the interpreter.
 | |
|     The main use of this is the pdfwrite/ps2write family of devices
 | |
|     that can now take JPEG streams from the input file(s) and write
 | |
|     them unchanged to the output (thus avoiding additional
 | |
|     quantization effects).
 | |
|   * PDF transparency performance improvements
 | |
|   * IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process
 | |
|     of forking LittleCMS.
 | |
|     LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe
 | |
|     without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe,
 | |
|     and include performance enhancements (these changes have all
 | |
|     be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
 | |
|     compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time,
 | |
|     but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own
 | |
|     package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
 | |
|   * We have continued the focus on code hygiene in this release
 | |
|     cleaning up security issues, ignored return values,
 | |
|     and compiler warnings.
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.
 | |
|   Incompatible changes
 | |
|   * The planned device API tidy has, unfortunately, been
 | |
|     indefinitely postponed, until appropriate resources
 | |
|     are available.

| -------------------------------------------------------------------
 | |
| Fri Mar 16 12:39:36 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - For now use lcms2 from SUSE because that is what currently
 | |
|   Ghostscript upstream recommends according to
 | |
|   https://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2018-March/010061.html
 | |
|   because since Ghostscript 9.23rc1 there is no longer lcms2
 | |
|   in Ghostscript but now it is lcms2art which is the beginning
 | |
|   of a lcms2 fork, see News.htm that reads in particular
 | |
|   "LCMS2 is not thread safe ... Our fork will be thread safe ...
 | |
|    We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2
 | |
|    for a time, but not in perpetuity", see also
 | |
|   https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c14
 | |
| - On SLE11 and on SLE12-SP1 there is liblcms2-2-2.5
 | |
|   which is too old so that configure fails there with
 | |
|     configure: error: lcms2 not found, or too old
 | |
|   but there is no configure option to build it without lcms2
 | |
|   so that for SLE11 and SLE12-SP1 it is built with
 | |
|   the lcms2art in Ghostscript.
 | |
| - ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because it only
 | |
|   contained a fix for lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h in Ghostscript
 | |
|   but currently lcms2 from SUSE is used instead (see above).
 | |
| - Do no longer require any fonts packages in particular
 | |
|   neither require ghostscript-fonts-std because the PostScript
 | |
|   Base35 fonts are provided by Ghostscript (in 'Resource')
 | |
|   nor require ghostscript-fonts-other (provides Bitream Charter,
 | |
|   Adobe Utopia, URW Antiqua, URW Grotesq and Hershey fonts where
 | |
|   all but the last are also provided by texlive-<name>-fonts) and
 | |
|   those fonts are not required for PostScript compliance, see

|   lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h (instead of lcms2/include/lcms2.h).
 | |
| - ghostscript-fix-debug-use.patch is no longer needed
 | |
|   because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources.
 | |
| - fix_ln_docdir_gsdatadir.patch avoids

| Wed Nov 29 16:04:48 CET 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - 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 such "latest breaking changes"
 | |
|   so that for now Ghostscript 9.22 is only provided for
 | |
|   openSUSE Tumbleweed/Factory and the upcoming SLE15/Leap15.

 | |
| Mon Apr 10 14:06:09 CEST 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.21.
 | |
|   For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * pdfwrite now preserves annotations from
 | |
|     input PDFs (where possible).
 | |
|   * The GhostXPS interpreter now provides the pdfwrite device
 | |
|     with the data it requires to emit a ToUnicode CMap: thus
 | |
|     allowing fully searchable PDFs to be created from XPS
 | |
|     input (in the vast majority of cases).
 | |
|   * Ghostscript now allows the default color space
 | |
|     for PDF transparency blends.
 | |
|   * The Ghostscript/GhostPDL configure script now has much
 | |
|     better/fuller support for cross compiling.
 | |
|   * The tiffscaled and tiffscaled4 devices can now
 | |
|     use ETS (Even Tone Screening)
 | |
|   * The toolbin/pdf_info.ps utility can now emit
 | |
|     the PDF XML metadata.
 | |
|   * Ghostscript has a new scan converter available
 | |
|     (currently optional, but will become the default in a near
 | |
|     future release). It can be enabled by using the command line
 | |
|     option: '-dSCANCONVERTERTYPE=2'. This new implementation
 | |
|     provides vastly improved performance with large and complex
 | |
|     paths.
 | |
|   * 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.
 | |
| - CVE-2016-7976.patch and CVE-2016-7977.patch and
 | |
|   CVE-2016-7978.patch and CVE-2016-7979.patch and
 | |
|   CVE-2016-8602.patch are no longer needed because
 | |

|   are no longer needed because both are included
 | |
|   in the upstream sources, see the upstream issue
 | |
|   https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697484
 | |
| - Again use the zlib sources from Ghostscript upstream
 | |
|   and disable remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch because
 | |
|   Ghostscript 9.21 does no longer build this way,

| Thu Sep 29 14:40:38 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.20. Purely a maintenance release.
 | |
|   For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,

 | |
| Wed Mar 23 15:43:27 CET 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - 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.

 | |
| Wed Nov 18 11:46:58 UTC 2015 - schwab@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Do not use library sources for freetype jpeg libpng tiff zlib
 | |
|   from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because we prefer to use
 | |
|   for long-established standard libraries the ones from SUSE
 | |
|   in particular to automatically get SUSE security updates
 | |
|   for standard libraries.
 | |
|   In contrast we use e.g. lcms2 from the Ghostscript upstream
 | |
|   tarball because this one is specially modified to work with
 | |
|   Ghostscript so that we cannot use lcms2 from SUSE.
 | |
| - remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch removes dependency on zlib/zlib.h
 | |
|   in makefiles as we do not use the zlib sources from the
 | |
|   Ghostscript upstream tarball.

 | |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
 | |
| Thu Nov  5 13:33:14 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - An incompatible change appeared when building other software
 | |
|   with Ghostscript 9.18.
 | |
|   Since version 9.18 Ghostscript does no longer provide
 | |
|   e_<SomeError> (e.g. e_NeedInput) in its header files
 | |
|   (gserrors.h and ierrors.h).
 | |
|   When building other software with Ghostscript 9.18
 | |
|   gs_error_<SomeError> (e.g. gs_error_NeedInput)
 | |
|   must be used, see boo#953149 and

 | |
| Tue Oct  6 10:21:22 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Version upgrade to 9.18. A maintenance release.
 | |
|   There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing).
 | |
|   Highlights in this release include:
 | |
|   * A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL
 | |
|     directory structure. Ghostscript-only users should
 | |
|     not be affected by this change.
 | |
|   * A new method of internally inserting devices into the device
 | |
|     chain has been developed, named "device subclassing".
 | |
|     This allows suitably written devices to be more easily and
 | |
|     consistently as "filter" devices.
 | |
|     The first fruit of this is a new implementation of
 | |
|     the "-dFirstPage"/"-dLastPage" feature which functions
 | |
|     a device filter in the Ghostscript graphics library, meaning
 | |
|     it works consistently with all input languages.
 | |
|   * Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
 | |
|     and incremental improvements.

|   because LCMS 1.x is removed since Ghostscript 9.16
 | |
|   but the hunk for LCMS2 (lcms2/include/lcms2.h) is still needed

 | |
| 
 | |
| - For SLE12 build it with traditional CUPS 1.5.4 to ensure
 | |
|   it works on SLE12 both with CUPS 1.7.5 and CUPS 1.5.4.

 | |
| Sun Sep 28 18:00:37 CEST 2014 - ro@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - readd ppc64le patch ppc64le-support.patch (adapted for lcms2 in
 | |
|   Ghostscript version 9.15): the tests in lcms2.h cannot work
 | |
|   without "include <endian.h>" that is now added and
 | |
|   regardless that lcms is not used by default (unless the
 | |
|   configure option --with-lcms is set), lcms is again fixed
 | |
|   (see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695544).
 | |
| 
 | |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
 | |
| Tue Sep 23 10:14:28 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - 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.

 | |
| Wed Sep 17 12:17:47 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de
 | |
| 
 | |
| - 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.

 | |
| Mon Aug 18 15:12:28 UTC 2014 - meissner@suse.com
 | |
| 
 | |
| - gs does not seem to require libopenssl-devel for building.

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

 | |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
 | |
| 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").
 | |
