Changes since 0.91
0.91a (2000-oct-11)
-------------------
Implemented separable CMYK PostScript output (the -level1sep switch to
pdftops).
Implemented Pattern color spaces with tiling patterns (polygon fills
only).
Implemented Stamp annotations.
Implemented Named link actions.
Fixed a really dumb bug in the TrueColor code in SFont (which affects
both Type 1 and TrueType font rendering on 16-bit displays).
Rewrote the GfxColorSpace / GfxColor code.
Switched from djgppcfg to dj_make.bat (from Michael Richmond).
Bug in the Type 1 encoding parser -- couldn't handle lines of the form
'dup NNN/name put' (with no space between the code and the name).
Fixed the mkstemp() test in configure.in -- switched from
AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_TRY_LINK and added <unistd.h>.
Added DESTDIR to top-level Makefile.in.
Fixed an incorrect OPI comment in PSOutputDev.
Minor tweak to the CCITTFax code to avoid writing past the end of an
array on an invalid data stream.
Xpdf crashed if the user selected 'reload' when no document was
loaded.
Look for character names of the form "xx" (two hex digits with no
leading alphabetic char) and 'cNNN' (decimal digits with a leading
alphabetic char that happens to be a hex digit).
FlateStream didn't correctly handle zero-length streams.
Xref reconstruction didn't handle the case where the opening "<<"
immediately followed "trailer" with no intervening whitespace.
Fix the %%DocumentSuppliedResources comment in EPS output.
Scale annotations to fit their rectangles.
Added Stream::close() to handle cases (e.g., patterns) where a Stream
object is used multiple times before it is deleted.
Added the topLevel arg to Gfx::go() so it doesn't call out->dump() for
every pattern element (and form).
Rearranged the GfxResources class.
Clean up white space handling in Lexer.
Make the dpi parameter to PDFDoc::displayPage etc. a double - this
avoids margin gaps with fit-page and fit-width.
Fix a rounding problem in xpdf.cc that was causing the window to
sometimes be one pixel too small.
Fixed a minor bug in dealing with Base-14 TrueType font names.
Fixed Lab -> RGB color space conversion.
Added support for opacity values (from PDF 1.4) to GfxState and
OutputDev. [Thanks to Leonard Rosenthol.]
Implemented type 2 functions; rearranged the Function class
hierarchy.
0.91b (2000-oct-29)
-------------------
Print a warning about Type 3 fonts (XOutputDev, PSOutputDev).
Added the scroll lock behavior to 'n' and 'p' keys in xpdf.
Change FileStream buffer size to a #define'd constant.
Renamed Pattern to GfxPattern to avoid clashes with Windows and MacOS
types.
Added CNS (Big5) Chinese font support (CHINESE_CNS_SUPPORT); renamed
CHINESE_SUPPORT to CHINESE_GB_SUPPORT.
0.91c (2000-nov-19)
-------------------
Fix an endianness problem in the Type 1 font code which resulted in an
incorrect display with "-t1lib plain" on big-endian systems.
CCITTFax stream decoder will skip over extra zero bits at end of line,
even if EncodedByteAlign flag wasn't set.
Added Big5 support to pdftotext (with CHINESE_CNS_SUPPORT enabled).
Fixed a typo in the CNS/Big5 encoding translation table.
Change the form code in PSOutputDev to store images in arrays of
strings.
The xref reconstruction (for damaged files) now also looks for
'endstream' tags, and the parser uses this information when setting
up stream objects.
In pdfinfo, convert Unicode chars in the 00xx range into 8-bit chars;
print a warning if there are any other Unicode chars.
0.92 (2000-dec-03)
------------------
Fixed %%BeginResource comment (for xpdf procset) in PostScript
output.
Added "-title" switch and "xpdf.title" resource to set the window
title.
Check for <freetype.h> in addition to <freetype/freetype.h>.
Upgraded the configure script to smr_macros 0.2.4 - this should fix a
bug where configure wasn't correctly finding t1lib.
- - Make best quality anti-aliasing the default for both Type1 and TrueType
fonts. This can be overriden on the command line. Note: we need to set
xpdf.t1libControl to "aa", rather than "high" to get the equivalent of
-t1lib "high". This is probably a bug. It's likely to be changed in the
futre to conform to the documentation, rather than the other way around.

0.91 (2000-aug-14)
------------------
Added TrueType font rendering, using FreeType.
Support for Chinese fonts (Type 0 fonts using the Adobe-GB1-2
character collection).
Decryption code is included with the main distribution (now that the
US export regulations are a little bit less irrational).
Added (very basic) support for generating PostScript with Japanese
fonts -- only tested with ghostscript so far.
Added support for generating EPS files (pdftops -eps).
Much-improved image filtering in xpdf (for downsampling and for
transforms other than 0/90/180/270-degree rotations).
Implemented a basic full-screen (presentation) mode (xpdf
-fullscreen). (There is currently no way to switch between window
and full-screen modes on the fly -- this will be fixed in a later
release.)
- - use t1lib for superior rendering of type1 fonts
- - various improvements to gui: smoother paging, resizing;
add a couple more widgets to aid paging through large docs
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
