dvips takes a DVI file file[.dvi] produced by TeX (or by some other
processor such as GFtoDVI) and converts it to PostScript, normally
sending the result directly to the (laser)printer. The DVI file may
be specified without the .dvi extension. Fonts used may either be
resident in the printer or defined as bitmaps in PK files, or a
`virtual' combination of both. If the mktexpk program is installed,
either be resident in the printer or defined as bitmaps in PK files,
or a `virtual' combination of both. If the mktexpk program is
installed, dvips will automatically invoke METAFONT to generate fonts
that don't already exist.
changes:
-fixed some crashes and a memory leak
-fixed pdfimages to work for jpeg
pkgsrc change: pulled in color management support from the development
branch (but tested by me for many weeks), as an option which is on
per default
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.
Web2C is an implementation of TeX and friends which translates the
original WEB sources written by Donald Knuth into C, so they can be
readily compiled on modern systems.
&data issue filed as http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3079 and fixed in
cups svn 28 minutes later.
The deeper issue is that firefox3 defines SHA1_Update in nss and cups
uses openssl and the nss symbol wins; hence any use of RAND_seed
fails.
Major changes include full Unicode supoprt, better support for Asian
languages, support for JPEG CMYK images, links in Platypus, better
wrapping, barcode support, better support for legends of graphics and
many more.
Addtional changes in pkgsrc include the merge of py-reportlab-renderPM
package and use of external libart.
A pure-python PDF toolkit capable of:
- extracing document information,
- splitting documents page by page,
- merging documents page by page,
- cropping pages,
- merging multiple pages into a single page,
- encrypting and decrypting PDF files.
font maps for dvips and dvipdfm. In this way, configuration files
(fmtutil.cnf and updmap.cfg) are properly installed under
PKG_SYSCONFDIR, not under PREFIX.
Bump PKGREVISION for teTeX-texmf and teTeX-bin.
This is a collection of scripts included in teTeX. The development of
the original teTeX ceased in 2006, and these scripts are now
maintained in TeX Live.

libspectre 0.2.2 (25 November 2008)
===================================
This is another bugfix only release in the libspectre's 0.2 series.
A problem when rendering some documents where the page size is
different from the Bounding Box has been fixed (Bug #18239)
Parser is now locale-independent when parsing float numbers (Bug #18685)
The display format has been fixed to match cairo/pixman. Thanks to
Chris Wilson (Bug #18266)
The previous libraries had major of 3 and now they are 4.
I didn't bump those depending on this as this update happened
months ago.
I noticed this two ways:
new poppler didn't work with my already installed evince and
new poppler didn't work with my alreadyinstalled poppler-glib.
Kpathsea is a library to do path searching. It is used in the Web2C
implementation of TeX and friends. The library's fundamental purpose
is to return a filename from a list of directories specified by the
user, similar to what shells do when looking up program names to
execute.
* Changes from 5.2.2
1) CUPS PPD files in non-English locales are now generated
correctly when the CUPS driver interface is used (with CUPS 1.2
and above).
2) Epson inkjet printers that support duplex printing now use less
restrictive margins (allowing use of more of the page) when
duplex printing is not used.
3) Printing to the following Epson printers has been corrected:
EPSON Artisan 700
EPSON Artisan 800
EPSON BX300F
EPSON EP-801A
EPSON EP-901A
EPSON EP-901F
EPSON ME 300
EPSON ME Office 360
EPSON PX-401A
EPSON Stylus NX100
EPSON Stylus NX105
EPSON Stylus Photo PX700FW
EPSON Stylus Photo PX800FW
EPSON Stylus Photo TX700W
EPSON Stylus Photo TX800W
EPSON Stylus S20
EPSON Stylus SX100
EPSON Stylus SX105
EPSON Stylus T20
EPSON Stylus TX100
EPSON Stylus TX101
EPSON Stylus TX102
EPSON Stylus TX103
EPSON Stylus TX105
EPSON Stylus TX106
EPSON Stylus TX109
EPSON TX300F
These printers should all be fully functional, but may be
further tuned in the future.
4) Duplex printing has been enabled on the Epson Stylus RX680,
RX685, RX690, PM-A940, and PM-T960. Support for these printers
is still considered experimental.
5) Support has been added for the Canon MULTIPASS MP220.
6) Preliminary support has been added for the Canon PIXMA iP4600.
(It was replaced with gio from glib2.)
Bump PKGREVISION due to that change.
Also remove the libgnomeui dependency -- I had moved that to an
option. Sorry for that. (Noticed by wiz.)
Changes since 4.4.2:
x11/xfce4-panel:
* Quite a bit code changed in the dnd code. Mostly to fix a segfault
in FreeBSD-amd64, but more problems were discovered and a lot of

Welcome to Gutenprint 5.2.2, a stable release of Gutenprint 5.2. This
release has minor bug fixes over 5.2.1. Please read these release
notes carefully.
It is for Scribus 1.0 and impoted when Scribus was updated to 1.1.1,
it did not include documentation.
But now print/scribus is version 1.3.3.12 and contains documentation.
Previously, TEXMFSYSVAR was placed under PREFIX, which was wrong
because TEXMFSYSVAR stores variable *runtime* data. This change
relocates TEXMFSYSVAR under VARBASE and move VARTEXFONTS to its
default location inside the TEXMFSYSVAR tree.
Bump PKGREVISION.
