* New upstream release
- Ghostscript 9.06 final release
- PDF/A-2 - pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files. The
'PDFA' command line switch can now take a numeric parameter:
0 = not PDF/A compliant
1 = PDF/A-1b compliant
2 = PDF/A-2b compliant
Simply specifying "-dPDFA" continues to have the old behaviour of
creating PDF/A-1b files. For PDF/A-2 the command line should include
"-dPDFA=2".
- pdfwrite "Server mode" - pdfwrite can now be run in "server mode" which
allows the device to be closed without closing the interpreter. This
means it is no longer necessary to terminate GS before starting a new
PDF conversion. This leads on to:
- pdfwrite now supports the "%d" format in the OutputFile switch. If this
is set then pdfwrite will output each page of input to an individual
file.
- ps2write - recent exposure to a range of PostScript devices has thrown
up some interesting deficiencies in those devices. ps2write now emits
PostScript in slightly different ways in order to produce output on a
wider variety of devices. In some cases this also results in improved
print times but it is still important to set the resolution
appropriately for the output device, especially if the input contains
transparency.
- Ghostscript can now use output intents defined in PDFs by using the
"-dUsePDFX3Profile" command line option. See ICC Color Parameters for
details.
- tiffsep/tiffsep1: support for large numbers of separations improved.
The previous implementation of those devices utilised a "compressed
color encoding" to represent the tints for all the plates in one 64 bit
value. As the number of plates increased, fewer bits were available for
the tint for each plate, ultimately resulting in an "unencodable pixels"
error. These revisions remove the reliance on the compressed color
encoding, thus ensuring that we have a consistent color bit depth,
regardless of the number of plates, and ensuring the "unencodable
pixels" error will never occur.
- Also as a result of these changes, there are substantial performance
improvements in jobs with separations and transparency.
- tiffsep, psdcmyk and psdrgb now support the "downscaler" functionality.
This brings the "tiffscaled" style functionality to the DeviceN output
devices, so jobs can be rendered internally in contone and at a high
resolution, and the output optionally downsampled by a level specified
by "-dDownScaleFactor=n", and also optionally error diffused to 1bpp
output.
- clist storage, for rendering pages in bands, is now a run-time option:
-sBandListStorage={file|memory}.
- Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
incremental improvements.
- Using built-in libopenjpeg with security fixes for CVE-2009-5030,
CVE-2012-1499, and CVE-2012-3358.
* debian/rules: Updated DEB_UPSTREAM_TARBALL_MD5
* debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
