- Fixed memory reallocation on bitmap size change. Reallocation is not only
needed when dimendions and margins change, but also when the color depth
changes. Fixes bugs #691029 and #691108.
- Fixed arrayoption() macro in cups_put_params() function. Array values did
not get actually set in cups.header data structure. Bug only showed via
a compiler warning.
- Silenced compiler warning by presetting c0..c3 in cups_map_cmyk() to zero.

PKGREVISION++
"@file" args get processed, fixes PR pkg/42984 from T. M. Pederson.
I'm not 100% sure that this has no side effects (the initialization
order in gs is messy and undocumented) but I haven't found any within
some weeks of testing.
bump PKGREVISION
This is the second release in the stable 8.7x series. It features
improved handling of fonts, nesting and color fixes with
transparency objects, reduced memory footprint for the halftone cache,
as well as improvements to the pxl output devices,
and the usual number of bug and robustness fixes.
The license is now GPLv3 or later. A large number of issues with
transparency were fixed. Several significant fixes to font handling,
especially when generating PDF, were made. Numerous robustness,
correctness, and performance improvements were made. Security fixes
addressing CVE-2009-0583 and CVE-2009-0792 were made. New generic
Esc/Page devices, eplmono and eplcolor, were added, as well as the
cdnj500 device to support the HP DesignJet 500. The size of PostScript
integers was limited to 32 bits, as recommended in the specification.
XXX: does not fix build with cups option and jpeg7.
Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release.
Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and
spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF
and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and
support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents.
Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing
modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and
support for using the system's default paper size on unix.
The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from
PostScript code to C.
A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been
updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several
long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution
and paper tray selection.
that does not do the right thing on Darwin (where shared libs are
created with different linking flags and use dylib rather than so
as an extension).
you need to manually reconfigure unix-dll.mak to make it work, so
do it in hacks.mk.
XXX: this still leaves the issue of libgs.so (et al.) being hardwired
in PLIST, instead of using libgs.dylib (et al.). i'm not sure of
the best way to fix that. at least it compiles now....
changes:
-bugfixes
-multithreaded rendering
-Images are now always interpolated in their source colorspace
-Support for OpenPrinting Vector devices has been upgraded to version 1.0
-two new devices: cairo, svgwrite
-maximum number of color components has been reduced to 8 (from 252)
-The -Z: debugging option now uses 'realtime' instead of 'usertime'
changes: a number of bug fixes and improvements
Note: The default device in the gcc build is now the 'x11alpha' device
which provides antialiasing for display. To recover the old
default behaviour add '-sDEVICE=x11' to the command line.
The major milestone of this release is a merge from the ESP Ghostscript
fork, used to support the CUPS printing system. This means that free
operating systems can now ship a single copy of upstream Ghostscript with
their releases. Thanks to Till Kamppeter and Mike Sweet for making this
possible.
This release also includes numerous important bug fixes over the previous
stable versions, as well as improvements to performance, memory footprint,
shading and image handling. We recommend this upgrade to all free users.
While here, add DESTDIR support.
In addition to the usual bug fixes, there are specific performance and
quality improvements in the areas of patterns, shading and image
filtering. Also new in this release is an implementation of the Well
Tempered Screening algorithm in an output device, using Graeme
Gill's IMDI library for efficient color mapping.
pkgsrc change: use the bundled jasper as the pkgsrc one is incompatible
