Version 9.55.0 (2021-09-27)
Highlights in this release include:
This release includes the fix for the %pipe% security issue (CVE-2021-3781).
New PDF Interpreter: This is an entirely new implementation written in C (rather than PostScript, as before). For a full discussion of this change and reasons for it see: Changes Coming to the PDF Interpreter.
In this (9.55.0) release, the new PDF interpreter is disabled by default in Ghostscript, but can be used by specifying -dNEWPDF. We hope to make it the default in 9.56.0, and fully deprecate the PostScript implementation shortly after that (depending on the feedback we get).
This also allows us to offer a new executable (gpdf, or gpdfwin??.exe on Windows) which is purely for PDF input. For this release, those new binaries are not included in the "install" make targets, nor in the Windows installers (they will be from 9.56.0 onwards).
We would ask that as many users as possible take the opportunity to test with the new PDF implementation (i.e. using -dNEWPDF on your gs command line), and discuss any problems with us, before the new implementation becomes the default.
The pdfwrite device now supports "passthrough" for JPX/JPG2000 data images (as well as the already supported JPEG/DCT Encoded). That means that if no rescaling or color conversion of the image data is required, the encoded/compressed image data from the input file will be written unchanged to the output, preventing potential image degradation caused by decompressing and recompressing.
The Ghostscript/GhostPDL demo apps for C, C#, Java and Python have all had improvements and the C#/Java/Python language bindings have now been documented, see Ghostscript Language Bindings
The Zugferd compliant PDF generating definitions (lib/zugferd.ps) have been updated and expanded to support the current version (2.1.1) of the Zugferd spec, and optionally different versions of the specification.
The PCL/m output devices now support Duplex/Tumble.
The internal support for "n-up" style simple imposition (introduced in 9.54.0) has been extended and improved for better support across all input formats.
Ghostscript now supports object specific halftone - for example, different halftones can be specified for text and images, reflecting the differing needs of rendering those two types of object.
Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
(9.53.0) 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).

(https://github.com/yihui/knitr/releases)
@yihui yihui released this Sep 9, 2021
NEW FEATURES
* Added a package option latex.tilde so that users can customize the tilde
symbol, e.g., you can set knitr::opts_knit$set(latex.tilde = "\\hlopt{\\
scriptsize{\\ensuremath{\\sim}}}"). This is because the default tilde is
too high in the PDF output, and it's often more desirable to use a middle
tilde instead (thanks, @brry #1992, @jaredlander #492).
* For the tikz engine, the class options of the standalone document classs
can be specified via the chunk option engine.opts$classoption (thanks,
@XiangyunHuang, #1985). The default value is tikz, i.e., \documentclass
[tikz]{standalone} is used by default.
* Added the ability to pass additional arguments to dvisvgm when using the
tikz engine with fig.ext = "svg" by using dvisvgm.opts in engine.opts
(thanks, @andrewheiss, #2039). Recent versions of dvisvgm now allow you to
embed fonts into SVG files as base64-encoded WOFF files, so tikz chunks can
embed fonts using like so: ```{tikz, fig.ext="svg", engine.opts=list
(dvisvgm.opts = "--font-format=woff")}.
* Added a new targets engine (ropensci/targets#503, @wlandau). Details:
https://books.ropensci.org/targets/markdown.html.
* The chunk option cache.globals can take values TRUE and FALSE now (in
addition to a character vector). When FALSE, it tries to find all symbols
in the code chunk, no matter if they are local or global variables. When
NULL or TRUE, it tries to find all global variables (thanks, @knokknok, #
1898).
MAJOR CHANGES
* An error is now thrown when an inline code result is not coercible to
character. This has always been the assumed behavior but it happens to be
different in certain formats with unknown automatic coercion. This is now
enforced to prevent any unexpected output. An inline code expression must
evaluate to a character vector or an object coercible by as.character() (#
2006).
* The markdown package has been moved from Imports to Suggests in knitr's
DESCRIPTION, which means it is no longer a hard dependency but has become a
soft dependency of knitr (#1864). One consequence for package developers is
that if you use the vignette engines based on markdown (such as
knitr::knitr), you will have to explicitly declare the (soft) dependency on
markdown, because the implicit dependency through knitr is no longer there.
* For R packages that use the knitr::rmarkdown engine to build their
vignettes, rmarkdown must be declared as a dependency in the package
DESCRIPTION (e.g., in Suggests). Previously, knitr would fall back to using
the markdown package to build vignettes if rmarkdown is not declared (#1864
, #2020).
* write_bib() only uses the first URL if multiple are found in a package (#
2028).
MINOR CHANGES
* The attribute data-external="1" will be added to <iframe>s generated by
include_url() to prevent Pandoc from embedding the URL as base64 data
(thanks, @IndrajeetPatil, https://stackoverflow.com/q/67477667/559676).
* The chunk option strip.white = TRUE used to work only when the chunk option
collapse = FALSE. Now the two options are independent, i.e., strip.white
also works when collapse = TRUE (thanks, @kbvernon, #2011).
* When building R Markdown vignettes but Pandoc is not available, the
vignette engine will emit a message instead of a warning before falling
back to using the markdown package.
* The internal function is_abs_path() has been removed. Users (if any) should
use the exported function xfun::is_abs_path() instead.
BUG FIXES
* Fix an issue with the RStudio IDE when using knitr::include_url() or
knitr::include_app() in interactive Notebook mode. This will no more cause
an error but print the list object as is (thanks, @systemnova, #2015).
* Fix a regression with fig.keep chunk option used in chunks with only one
figure where the figure was not showing in output (thanks, @fmichonneau, #
1993).
* Allow vignettes to be tangled (and output compared) in R CMD check if they
have a corresponding .Rout.save (thanks, @lentinj, #2018).

CHANGES IN V1.28.10
- Sample PPDs: Add borderless page size definitions to Generic
PDF Printer, HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP PDF, and Ricoh PDF
Printer PPD files.
- Sample PPDs: From the PDF PPD files removed the unneeded
"*cupsFilters2: ..." line. For CUPS it does not make any
difference.
- libcupsfilters: Fixed pdftopdf filter to correctly support
page ranges without upper limit, like "10-" (Pull request
#399).
- libcupsfilters: Use wildcard tag (IPP_TAG_ZERO) search for
"media-type" and "media-type-supported" in the PPD
generator (Pull request #398).
- implicitclass, parallel: Added missing newlines at error
messages.
- libfontembed: Removed unneeded fontembed/main.c and ttfread
executable. Eliminates the dependency on DejaVuSans.ttf
(Issue #386).
- gstoraster: Refactor the filter a little to clarify handling
of page counts and set job-impressions for TotalPageCount in
PWG-Raster header (Pull request #394).
- cups-browsed: Make NotifLeaseDuration configurable and renew
after half the lease duration not 60 sec before end. The
early renewal improves reliability on busy systems a
lot. For easier development and debugging short durations
from 300 sec on can get selected (Pull request #378).
Changelog
* Account for page padding in full scroll
* Add forefground color for links
* Add :save and :save! aliases for :write and :write!
* Various fixes and improvements
* Updated translations
-All eight EXIF orientations are now handled properly
-cargo install installs a binary called jpeg-to-pdf instead of cli (#3)
-Various internal changes
-No longer depends on lazy_static
Many changes, including:
. Implemented &&& continuation lines, mainly for new replicator (see next).
. Implemented &* replication feature.
. Added escapes \<< and \>> for double typographic quotes.
. Implemented bracketed noteheads facility.
. Implemented key N.
. Transposition values of multiples of 11 or 12 caused PMW to give up with a
hard internal error for some note values.
. A maximum (accumulated) transposition value of 60 is now implemented. This
is 5 octaves, which should be enough for anybody.
. Added \nh\ and \nc\ so that individual notes can have noteheads set as
harmonic or cross. This makes it possible to have chords containing
different noteheads.
. Added /cx, /llc, /lrc, /rlc, and /rrc to slurs and lines to allow for
horizontal positioning by musical offset a la MusicXML.
. Added Unicode support for non-standardly encoded PostScript fonts via .utr
files.
. Added new "rest" letter T, the crotchet version giving a single slash beat
indicator and the whole bar rest version giving a "percent" repetition sign.

Although most Brother printers support a standard printer language such
as PCL or PostScript, not all do. If you have a monochrome Brother laser
printer (or multi-function device) and the other open source drivers
don't work, this one might help.

mode terminating with 0 if there are no appropriate printers
found (Issue #375).
- gstoraster, foomatic-rip: Fixed Ghostscript command line for
counting pages as it took too long on PDFs from evince when
printing DjVu files (Issue #354, Pull request #371, Ubuntu
bug #1920730).

- cups-browsed: Start after network-online.target (Pull
request #360).
- texttopdf: Set default margins when no PPD file is used
(Pull request #356).

The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release, and also adds new functionality.
Highlights in this release include:
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: Overprint
The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output to Microsoft Word "docx" format. See: docxwrite
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: 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: BlackText
Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition "internally". See: NupControl
Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
(9.53.0) 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.
